Leaving Maadhoo tomorrow but felt the need to write this before we leave. Trying to keep it concise, a few things that stand out: 1. Customer Service - have honestly never experienced such amazing customer service anywhere in the world. It’s in short supply in many resorts, not here - just phenomenal 2. Food - from the buffet (which isn’t really a buffet) and would put a lot of uk fine dining restaurants to shame, to the Chinese or Indian - food is stunning The underwater restaurant M6M is an experience you will never forget.. 3. Attention to detail - from staff remembering your names, your drinks, your room etc etc, you really feel like you are appreciated and valued as a guest Apologies for not remembering everyone’s names/getting their titles correct, but a few absolute stars to call out: - Roula (Guest Mgr) - wow, had a slight issue at one stage with the room and she resolved it +++, she’s only been at the resort a few weeks but is an absolute credit, OZEN have a star there - Munnu (Restaurant Mgr) - again, absolute credit to the resort, exemplifies Customer Service, such a wonderful gentleman Kudos also to our butler blue, Scuba dive instructor Hameed, Tyagi, Luham, Moothamin, the ladies in M6M and various others we will have missed, you’ve all made this a holiday we won’t forget for all the right reasons. Keep up the amazing work all at Maadhoo, we are off to Bolifushi now, they have a lot to live up to from their sister resort!! Truly don’t see how it can beat this… Thank you OLM for everything!

The service at this resort, for us, could not be faulted. There were many staff that stood out, too many to mention. Aapu in the bar is outstanding with kids. They just love him. Forty is a very professional and hard working butler looking out for his guests needs and anticipating them throughout. All of the wait staff and chef in indoceylon deserve a special shout out. We had our best experiences there, food and service wise. The M6M experience is very special. Carol was outstanding. The GM and RM along with other managers are always around and making sure everyone is enjoying and all your needs/wishes are met. The ozen resorts are very special and we will be back.
