Important point: from Male to this island you need to get by domestic airlines (30 minutes) + 30 minutes. by speedboat or private plane directly from Male (30 min. )
Fiyavalhu Maldives is located on an island where the locals live, but it is fenced on all sides, because it is strictly forbidden to go outside! Due to this moment, alcohol is completely absent and forbidden, so all drinks and cocktails are non-alcoholic.
Territory: compact, everything is planted with greenery and flowers, very clean and clean. Lots of lizards, bats, crabs and more.
Cons: here you will not be able to see the sunset, because it will set on the opposite side of the island, where tourists can not enter.
Mosquitoes are just ruthless, although every night the area is treated with smoke, but it does not save the situation. Be sure to take mosquito repellents!
In some places there was a smell of sewage.
Room: very spacious, everything new, very clean.
The room has per person per day 1 liter of water (still), coffee, tea, kettle. The bathroom is open, there is nothing but shampoo and shower gel; it is very strange that there is no body lotion. Clean daily for 4/5.
Cons: the smell of sewage was present in the toilet.
Lack of standard personal care products.
The Internet seems to be present, but extremely slow, or does not work at all (consider that it does not exist).
Beach: clean, enough sunbeds, but normal access to the water is only in one place near the main restaurant, where a large number of people always gather, in other places where there are less people are large stones at the bottom, or slippery boulders through which you need to climb first to get to the ocean (right dangerous).
Cons: there is no reef, ie you will not see colored fish here, there are remnants of a dead reef, where several fish swim, but that's all.
In order to swim with the fish, you need to book a tour that costs about $ 50- $ 100.
A huge minus: there is a sewer pipe right near the shore, I understand that everything has to go somewhere, but it is extremely close, such sewage pipes must be removed at least 50 m from the island!
Food: everything is extremely tasty, but a little monotonous - rice, pasta, potatoes, various salads, etc. Of the fruits - watermelon, papaya, guava, oranges, pineapple and apples.
Cons - a lot of fried and almost no delicious sweets (maybe for some it's a plus).
Entertainment: In the evening on the island you can play sports, play table tennis, billiards, table football, or drink non-alcoholic cocktails at the bar. There is nothing more to do.
Cons: no entertainment program, you can swim in the pool only until 18.00.

This hotel, however, like the island, was chosen based on good reviews, high ratings and just the size of the island) However, nowhere was it written that they were not allowed anywhere due to Covid, excursions were prohibited, and the saddest thing is that the size of the hotel is unbelievable small, because of this we were depressed for a couple of days; ), because we could choose an island-hotel where you could see the sunset and sunrise, where you could walk along the beach not 300 m, but 2 times more.

Therefore, dear tour operators, and most importantly RESTED tourists - write your reviews, comment on the current situation, be smart.
So, the sad minute is over, now only positive moments; ) but their number outweighed all the initial negative; )
The hotel is really wonderful, new, opened in November 2019, but quarantine did not give it the opportunity to earn 100%, so everything is perfectly clean, new, the staff is wonderful, and the service is on top. 10 out of 10 points!
Judging by the description on the websites, at the moment the occupancy in the hotel is about 40%, I can fully confirm that this is so - you can hardly see people, most of them are found during meals and near the pool)
After talking with the staff, the guys said that the territory of the hotel will be increased and more villas on the water will be completed) I don’t know when it will be)))) but there was no construction work near the hotel.
The beach is wonderful, it is cleaned every morning, so the sand is white, there are no algae and you can enter the water without coral slippers)
The territory of the hotel in the jungle was also impressive - the paths are clean, lit, there are a lot of trees, flowers, birds, flying foxes and a sea of crabs and hermit crabs; )
We took a room with a view of the garden, but upon arriving at the hotel we decided to change it to a room with an ocean view! Guys, this is the best solution! The cost of the room is slightly higher (by the way, you won’t save here, so take it immediately when booking), and the view and convenience are 100% better)
Regarding food - we immediately took a full board and never regretted it! They don’t let you out of the hotel, there are no excursions, you are constantly busy with something, so we ate 3 times a day)))); )
Meals - a buffet without drinks, but this is not a problem at all - we don’t need alcohol in this heat, I took coffee with me (there are cups, sugar and a kettle in the room), water is free in the rooms and at the table, and everything else is possible buy - juices, non-alcoholic cocktails, ice cream. Everything is very tasty and for every taste! Fish, perfectly cooked meat, chicken, seafood, various sauces, salads, separately vegetables and side dishes, as well as fruits and desserts! 10 out of 10 points!!!
The staff speaks English, and we were also met by the hotel manager, who speaks Russian, so there were no communication problems at all! You can go quietly if you are worried about it)
Entertainment! I strongly advise you to look at the manta rays, take a boat to the coral reef (it takes 5 minutes to drive, and the impressions of a lifetime), go fishing or look at the shark)) And also take snorkeling accessories with you - you won't regret it)
