Hotel ratings by criteria:
We rested in Club FARU from 11 to 23 August 2007.
Conclusions: I advise you not to contact Kuda. ru and do not go to this hotel.
I'll put it in order:
1. The tour was bought in a hurry in Kuda. ru, so it turned out to be 1000-1400 dollars more expensive (for two) than from tour operators (which we found out after buying the tour).

2. Already after buying the tour, after reading the reviews about this hotel (about the fact that the island is terribly dirty and the hotel is clearly not 4 stars), they tried to abandon the tour. The attempt was unsuccessful, since the tour was paid in the amount of 100% - after payment, you can only refuse to lose the entire cost of the tour. At the same time, it is difficult to use non-departure insurance - due to the fact that you have only one way to get it - to end up in the hospital near death. At the same time, if the tour is for two, you must be in the hospital together. In addition, Kuda. ru Agent tried to convince us for a long time and kindly that all these reviews do not correspond to reality, that everything is wonderful there.
3. Upon arrival in Male (the capital of the Maldives), we were met by the Maldivian Agent, who, with all her appearance, let us know that she did not intend to communicate with us for a long time and explain something (apparently, she had more important things to do at that moment). To the question: "How long does it take to get to Club Faru? ", Maldivian's agent replied: "1 hour". We got 10 minutes.
4. The main thing about this island:
4.1. The island is surrounded by algae, which are cleaned several times a day along the coast, but without much success. Algae all over the beach during the whole holiday.
4.2. Dirty water is not only due to algae, but due to various debris floating around the island.
4.3. Dirty sand from dead corals. There is almost no white "imported" sand.
5. There is no Russian-speaking guide promised to Kuda. ru on the island.
6. Room - 3 stars, probably. But not at all 4. The smell of sewage in the toilet, cracked walls. Poor and old furniture.
7. There is no entertainment on the island. If you think "hang out" - you have chosen the wrong island.
8. Good luck!
