The water villa was just amazing. It is huge, the facilities and the everything else in the room was very comfortable. Our room was upgraded to one with a pool which was a nice bonus. We wish we could spend more than just 2 nights in the villa. The resort is also beautiful, has lots of options and things to do for guests. The house reef is beautiful for snorkeling. The spa services are excellent too. The staff are friendly and always smiling. The only cons I can think of are the food could be more authentic in taste but there is a lot of variety so there is something for everyone. The desserts are very nice though! The seaplane ride was beautiful, but the return flight was delayed by over an hour. However, they dropped us just in time for our flight back. Overall, a very memorable stay. Highly recommended!

It’s bad resort but for the prices you can find better i’m sure ,they lack the basics of dealing with visitors. Decorations were ordered for the honeymoon and the amount was paid, and when arrival I did not find anything. A romantic dinner was ordered on the sea. When i arrival at the restaurant, the table inside the restaurant was decorated, and many other examples. You can order a Pepsi for the room and wait for it for 30 minutes and it comes to you hot and then you asked for ice and again 20 minutes of waiting

Since we always buy all inclusive and don’t drink or dine, we bought half board for the first time. I encountered a problem with tea and coffee in the machines for breakfast and dinner. The waiter came over and said there was a charge, that was not good. There is no awareness among the waiters that tea and coffee are included in half board all over the world! If you have this problem, you need to warn your visitors! we buy 4 days, at the same price as a week! All days we could not rest peacefully, because at the Lime restaurant they were watching us so that we did not drink tea! this is a shame for a 5* hotel!!! The first impression of the resort is spoiled! Thanks to manager Ibrahim for resolving this issue on our last day, huge respect and gratitude to him for giving us peace of mind on our last day, but alas, our birthday and wedding anniversary were already ruined. We will not come to this resort’s for the second time.

Brennia Kottefaru itself is a stunning island, however I feel as though it needs a few small tweaks to make it into a paradise destination I’d want to return to.
We booked five nights in an overwater villa, when we arrived we were told that the villa had been upgraded but on checking the photos on our booking it was the exact villa we’d booked.
The only difference we could see was we’d been moved from the quiet end of the island with the good snorkelling to opposite the landing strip for the sea planes. They started at 6am every day, landed multiple times throughout the day and were incredibly noisy.
The room itself was nice enough although the bathroom had seen better days. The tiles were chipped and grout was missing in many places. The drain cover was off in the shower and there was clearly a blockage going by the smell and as the shower water drained the sinks gurgled.
Raj who made up our room twice a day was always lovely to chat to and happy to get us what we needed, it’s a shame the rest of the staff weren’t as accommodating.
Each time we went for dinner or breakfast it felt as though it was an effort for drinks to be bought to our table and plates to be cleared. It just generally felt as though we were in the way.
The sous chef Mohamed and the Italian chef who’s name I forget were the only exceptions, they went out of their way to make us feel welcome.
We found that although there seemed to be a lot of food in the buffet, it was always very similar and not really to our liking so we found ourselves eating pasta every night.
We were on half board and although there was tea, coffee and sugar in the room it seemed an issue to get sweeteners too even though they were available at the restaurant.
This is the 8th Maldivian Island we’ve visited and in comparison to the others within a similar price bracket it’s our least favourite and we wouldn’t be in a hurry to return.

Really nice resort, we had water pool villa. Everything was great, small shortcomings of the bathroom, but it didn't change anything about our stay. Directly from villa we can snorkle, the sea is incredibly beautiful and clear. Staff was really nice and smilling all the time.
