Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Niva Kuramathi Maldives from previous guests about their experience

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Niva Kuramathi Maldives offers a memorable vacation, featuring a truly idyllic island setting. The deluxe beach villas, such as room 206, provide beautiful settings with direct access to white sandy beaches and turquoise seas, and some guests especially enjoyed the Thundi water villas near the sandbank for extra privacy. Guests on the Select All Inclusive package appreciated the amazing food and service at the à la carte restaurants, with Island Barbecue being a favorite; however, some found the buffet was not always worth the price. The island, at 1.8 km long, is perfect for relaxing walks and offers amazing views, and the house reef is incredible for snorkeling.

underwhelming experience

slow service unfriendly staff

The location was amazing. Nice to unwind after a busy trip.

The service at the laguna bar was slow. Very slow indeed, and i noticed the staff did not smile, we sat at a table that still had stains on it, disappointing.

efficient dive center unparalleled dive sites healthy restaurant options noisy entertainment tired villa inconvenient bar proximity

The dive center proved efficient. The dive sites available are unparalleled. The restaurant included many healthy options (i particularly enjoyed the fresh fruit).

My garden villa was close to bars. This proximity meant noise from entertainment until midnight. The villa itself seemed quite tired. It was not a four-star accommodation.

direct access amazing snorkeling diverse cuisine

our stay was excellent from the moment we arrived the staff ensured every detail was perfect our water villa provided direct access to the ocean offering amazing snorkeling opportunities we saw diverse marine life right outside our door i especially enjoyed the delicious food available at the several restaurants each meal was like a special occasion the variety of cuisine was excellent too.

the buggy service sometimes had delays this caused minor inconveniences when traveling longer distances on the island i think improved buggy frequency would greatly enhance guest experience.
