We are just at the end of our stay at Hakuraa Huraa and I don’t doubt we will be back. Firstly the staff. Everyone is so unbelievably friendly, with huge smiles on their faces the whole time. We were all inclusive and ate at the buffet for 90% of our meals and were served by Shardwaan and Nihaad. They were both the loveliest, most polite and genuine servers. Nothing was too much trouble, they consistently remembered our drinks order and were so professional start to finish. The restaurant does feel a little understaffed as we had a 10 day holiday and saw the same staff for breakfast lunch and dinner! But none of them once complained or made comment - just something I noticed. We did two trips, the shark snorkelling and the local island tour. Both were incredible experiences. Worth every penny (I think both were $55USpp) but once in a life time trips. The dive guys on the snorkelling trip and the tour guides on the local island tour were also all amazing. They offer a complementary snorkelling trip twice daily (weather dependent) which id highly recommend! They go to different spots and we saw loads. The package includes free snorkelling hire - I’d recommend photographing any damages as we got stung for $45 when we returned as there was a split in a flipper we didn’t even notice. Could have been genuine but a little annoying! We usually like resorts with lots of restaurants but that comes at a high cost in the Maldives, the all inclusive buffet was exceptional - we never got bored! They do different cooking stations each day to change it up. We did the bbq on the beach one evening at the crab restaurant and a romantic dinner another night and both were exceptional. I think if you’re all inclusive you get discount off the menu at the restaurant but it was a solely fish menu which my husband wouldn’t have enjoyed (the bbq nights he got a meat platter!) The evening entertainment is great. Not cheesy or boring. It’s a really nice chill bar with good atmosphere. We also got a Ying and Yang massage and we’re looked after by Drada, Tera and another girl whose name I forgot. I would HIGHLY recommend a Balinese massage or the couples treatment again - worth every penny (about $400US for the two of us for 2 hours ) Finally - Afey our room boy was amazing. It was my birthday when we were out there and he did some beautiful art on the bed. The resort assigns you a singular person for the restaurant and the room so you always get the same person which I liked a lot as it meant you got to know them and they got to know you. Tips: No matter how olive skinned you are - anything lower than factor 30 sun cream will be useless. It’s so so not here and we were at the end of rainy season. They have a really well stocked shop but sun creams were about $30. I would say if you want to come and do everything as an all inclusive $1000 is plenty. We tipped a bit too, ordered cocktails outside of our package, ordered room service etc so that would mean you could do everything and more. They do accept most main currencies though! Get the sea plane if you can. The 2.5 hour boat ride from male was a little rough and I have a fairly strong stomach! Read less
