This is our third stay at Canareef in three years. We enjoyed so much our first stay in 2024 that Canareef has become our destination in Maldives. And we have again this time immensely enjoyed this resort : the whole big island is a lovely garden with spacious beach villas, a serene atmosphere, a forest of coconut trees with flowered alleys, six small lakes, various beaches and swimming pools, varied food everyday at the buffet. Competence and friendliness of the staff, whether at the reception or at the restaurant, or for room service (Mr. Mausoom), or at boat excursions for snorkeling, etc. A community spirit with weekly free beach cocktails offered to all guests. No trace of different categories of guests based on status of accommodation as in some resorts. A variety of activities available, from scuba diving to snorkeling, tennis, cycling, free billiard, etc. Good attention to the environment, including weekly sessions opened to volunteer guests for thorough cleaning of the beaches from plastics carried by the waves. Don't forget to admire the beautiful sand floor designs at the reception every day by a talented artist. Excellent value for money.
