Feedback about Niva Kuramathi Maldives Hotel from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Niva Kuramathi Maldives is generally appreciated for its beautiful island setting and spacious villas. Many guests particularly enjoy the infinity pool near the Laguna bar and the convenience of having amenities such as a Nespresso machine and Netflix. While most find the food satisfying, a few guests mentioned that the buffet could become repetitive over longer stays. The availability of umbrellas and buggies with plastic sides is a plus during thunderstorms.

The gym was very excellent. i found climate control that worked perfectly, and plenty of towels. viral was super helpful. I can recommend him for exercises. i noticed many machines like a benchpress.

The room had a strange smell. the furniture seemed old too. the turtle excursion was short. It was not worth the money. i had higher expectations for the excursion.

Fantastic Escape

varied faunarelaxing timemosquito repellent

The island had beautiful flora and fauna. I was surprised by the variety. The food and drinks were good, and the time was very relaxing. I suggest swimming with the nurse sharks, the excursions were fascinating! Viraj in the gym gave me some great tips on my workout, the facilities were amazing too.

The island gets sprayed with mosquito repellent twice daily. The smell first thing in the morning can be strong. I still got bitten despite using repellent. It could be better.

Rooms

The villa was very clean and tidy. Housekeeping came twice daily. The room keepers took pride in their work, cleaning everything internally to a high standard.

Service

Some of the staff paid attention to allergy status. They also sang Happy Birthday. They were really friendly and diligent! I felt that the language barrier caused communication issues.

I could find a secluded spot on the island easily. It felt private. Visiting the sand bank at sunset is a must. It was a highlight of the trip! There are gorgeous sands and clear blue sea.
