"Choosing the perfect place to stay in the Maldives is not easy at all, especially with so many top hotels and resort to choose from. However, after much consideration my wife and I selected Taj Exotica as our destination. It was the best choice! What can I say? From the welcoming staff from the airport, to the speedboat transfer and at hotel reception. Our first impressions was everyone in the hotel appeared authentic and genuinely happy to look after us. This was indeed the case throughout our 5 day stay at the hotel. The service, food was immaculate. Shout out to Bilal and Priyantha whipping up amazing cocktails in the Equator bar. Shout out also to the hospital staff at 24 Degrees: Niju, Shaatu, Ismail, Mhelen and others if I forgot your name! They went out with the service each evening at the restaurant from taking time to speak to us about Maldives and their livelihood on the island made the interaction personal and authentic. Thanks to Adam our butler throughout our time here! And the Chinese and Spanish receptionist (apologise I forgot your names)! Apart from the consistent and quality service we received. The facilities was top notch from a fully equipped gym, large infinity pool and plenty of water sport activities. Snorkelling in the lagoon was a top highlight! Overall, this was one of the best stays we had. We are glad we chose Taj Exotica as our 1st hotel visiting the Maldives. We will certainly aim to return in the near future :) !"

"We spent a week here on our Anniversary trip and have nothing but high praises to give this resort. They meet you at the airport and whisk you away immediately to the private lounge which is air conditioned along with cold drinks, coffee, tea, and water. Once at the lounge our wait for speed boat transfer was very quick and taken care of by the resort completely. The boat ride was about 45 mins, again, refreshments were offered and away we went to paradise. Upon arrival to the resort a warm Maldivian welcome was provided, and we met our personal butler, Forty on the Jetty. Once to reception, a glass of champagne along with a foot and ankle rub was provided. We traveled from US so after 48 hours of flying and traveling these were perfect and hit the spot. We arrived early but luck would be on our side and a villa would be available. We were taken by buggy, given a tour of the island to begin before being taken to our over water villa with pool and absolutely amazed at the views, the amenities, the comfort, everything was perfect. The room has 2 controllable AC units, windows from wall to wall, mini bar, a wine cooler also restocked daily with up to 4 wines. The resort has multiple options for dining, the main being The Palms, it’s the center piece to the dining experience. Buffet options from around the world. 3 other specialty restaurants were available and booked through the butler. Big shout out to Forty, Bikesh, Danielle for providing stellar service through out our trip!"

"The loud noise from the hotel next door was very annoying and continued until 11:00 at Saturday night. Otherwise everything was perfect especially the friendliness of the staff. Everyone was helpful and courteous, "

"the butler service was just amazing. special thanks to Alfar, our butler. he did everything we wished for us. thank you Alfar!"

"Hotel was the best you could imagine I was with my son, which is a fussy eater he love the food over there me to. Best restaurant on the Gulham is in Ayala. Big choice from burger to chicken tikka masala. All the staff was amazing, very helpful and kind. I had very good feel about that hotel. From the moment you book the room they looking after you till the moment they get you back to Airport. You can prearrange transportation from Male Airport for $25 per person paid at the hotel and contact through the WhatsApp. Very very clean hotel they do clean rooms twice a day. Thank you to the Francis from reception and the other young lady and lovely people in the restaurant and all the others which I don’t know the names but they make my stay very memorable. Ps the air condition works great as everything else in that hotel they even have premier league Chanel. Thank you very much"

"everything was amazing from day one. However, they could have done a better job on the food. food was ok but not excellent. other than that. staff and everything else was amazing. definitely will come back "

"Our stay at Velassaru was amazing. We spent 12 days on the island, and did not want to leave... The level of service and dedication of the staff are beyond the words. The hotel is ideal for family or romantic getaway. The island is very small and that makes it really quiet and peaceful. You can see Male as it is really close by, but on the other hand you don't need to spent extra hours for getting to the island. Highly recommend this hotel to all lovers of the tranquil holidays."

"We had an excellent stay. The resort is adult only and quiet. Food was outstanding and the staff was incredible. Guests have access to Dighu resort which is larger and offers more variety. I would highly recommend the hotel."
