Pullman Maldives All-Inclusive Resort Hotel 5 stars

Superb

We could not have had a better experience at Pullman during our visit. Everyone we encountered went out of their way to ensure we were having the best time possible, including management, dive shop staff, waitstaff, bartenders, front desk, and housekeeping. The entire property is kept in pristine condition and is actively maintained, including the beaches and trails. We had absolutely no concerns staying during the pandemic, as they took a myriad of additional safety precautions to ensure we would feel comfortable. The villas were absolutely breathtaking. They were cleaned daily and the mini-bar restocked twice daily. We were never without anything we needed, including fresh water and snacks. The food and beverages were top quality. All of the restaurants and bars remained open, despite the resort not being anywhere near full capacity during our stay. Regardless of where we chose to eat, each meal was impeccably served and delicious. There menu selections were plentiful and included a blend of local cuisine and standard fare, freshly made and beautifully presented. We always left satisfied and looking forward to our next meal experience. The wait staff paid a high attention to detail throughout each dining experience, ensuring that our beverages were always full and that we were satisfied with our selections (especially the wait staff at Souk). While there was an extensive wine list and menu of specialty beverages, bartenders were always happy to make anything we desired (Thanks, Sajeer!). It should be noted that we never had a bad bottle of wine and they obviously put care into curating the wine selection. The transfer experience both ways was better than expected. From our arrival in Male, Pullman staff escorted us throughout the airport with our luggage to the lounge and assisted us in procuring travel documents for our flights. The airport lounge was sufficient and provided food, beverages, and wifi. The boat transfer was equally pleasant and made for a good first impression of the resort. We had bicycles available to us during the length of our stay, which was made it convenient to get around, even though it doesn't take long to get anywhere, even when walking. They also offer buggy service upon request at any time of day. The marine life did not disappoint and we enjoyed snorkeling around the island. We often saw eagle rays, sea turtles, and sharks, as well as a variety of other fish, even while walking along the beach or the catwalks between villas. We participated in the sunset cruise, sunset fishing, scuba diving, and went to the spa. We highly recommend the sunset fishing, as we were able to catch many fish, and had our two largest cooked to order the following night at Souk. Scuba diving was easy with very little current, despite the wind. Our guide was very professional and made sure we were comfortable at all times. Phytomer Spa was indulgent and I highly recommend you do not miss spending some time here. I had a body treatment and massage and my husband had a massage, both after using the steam room. Our therapists obviously knew what they were doing and gave us the best experience possible. We both very much enjoyed our massages and I highly recommend the Himalayan salt scrub. During our stay, I had open communication with Thariq, who ensured we were happy and comfortable. He responded timely to questions and booked our reservations where necessary, always referring to us by name. The wifi was phenomenal throughout the resort. Despite the pandemic, we did not feel there was a reduced level of service whatsoever. After only being at the resort a couple of days, we elected to extend our stay an additional two nights. We were truly sad to leave when the time came. Our experience was phenomenal and for a vacation that we had to re-book twice due to the pandemic, we would happily do it all over again.

Good hospitality & delicious food

Really enjoyed our stay at the resort. Very friendly staff , great facilities , great food and an amazing natural habitat.

The location is beyond perfect and beautiful. The staff is amazing and over accommodating. Food options are wonderful and delicious. Even with the restrictions they were careful but very accommodating.

Amazing food, paradise location, incredible staff and so many great activities

Visiting the Maldives every year, sometimes more, we are spoilt for choice with high expectations. As soon as I came across Pullman Maldives I fell in love, the resort represented so much of what I look for: - The Island is natural – the sandbanks are in abundance, the lagoons stretches for miles, it has its own castaway Island, it is large so you can find isolation when needed … and you simply don’t see sandbanks being washing out, and exposing sandbag after sandbag here, because this was not a man-made Island. What is also impressive is the natural lake – which attracts beautiful dragonflies. It is far away from Male, and closer to the equator, so the place is truly the tranquil Maldivian experience – with no ships or other resorts in sight. - The green attitude – meaning plastic free, even using solar power for its team village, and an outdoor gym using coconut and wood for dumbbells, and a palm tree climbing frame was a particular favourite of mine. - It’s brand new and well designed, the rooms are spacious and comfortable with a great layout and interiors and exteriors, and landscaping. - All-inclusive – the packages are what they say, all food and drinks and minibar are included, as well as activities. You really have a full schedule and are spoilt for choice. In short, the pictures and descriptions not only lived up to our expectations but exceeded them. From the day that we landed until our departure, we were taken care of to the utmost level. All the staff were a family and we felt extremely welcome to be sharing this Island as our home too! We would particularly like to thank the following people, who went beyond their duty of care to make the stay so exceptional: Anna - Hostess will the mostest (Souq Ovan & Melange) - she is such a breath of fresh air, composed and graceful, elegant and positive in everything she does with great care. Elza - Yoga - from sunrise to sunset sharing her well-being and spreading positivity. Chef Robertito - outdid himself with his special dishes at Phat Chameleon, thank you and Chef Bon Cruz for making us such delicious and healthy meals! You deserve nothing else but Michelin Stars! Rahul & the wonderful female therapist from Bali, Jessica (duty manager) - Spa - thank you for being so authentic & giving with your energy, and for making us really feel relaxed and calm, and making all our stresses go away like magic, and our bodies and minds be rejuvenated! Aika - Front Office – so friendly, accommodating and ready to meet all our needs. Naadhu - Front Office Manager – most wise and senior member of staff, thank you so much for getting us safely to home at a very distressing time! You were so helpful and supportive when we needed it most. Working your magic at every hour of the day to make things as comfortable and seamless. Tarique - Butler - thank you for taking care of all our needs and arrangements. Wesley – Melange Juices- delicious juices and permanent smile every morning uplifting the spirits! Head waiter of Phat Chameleon (the name escapes me but he is from India we believe), Jasmin, Adam, Zayan (Souk Oven Waiter) and others - F&B staff always attentive, remembered our wines, orders and preferences. Thank you so much for a superb service. Houskeeping - simply wonderful! Really appreciated the special touch with the bedding decoration on arrival/departure. Chef David - for his delicious deserts! Especially the chocolate fondant! Martine – Guest Experience Manager – very attentive, collected, accommodating and open for suggestions, communicating with guests. Sunset Pool Villa - we loved our room, it and the surrounding gardens are spacious with privacy and great access to sunset beach with a paradise lagoon. Activities - we took the guided snorkelling and sunset cruise, and used the paddle and canoe a few times. Would have like to snorkel around the castaway Island - something for the next time. We loved the zumba, and especially the yoga at sunrise and sunset (but found it a little hard to escape with the fumigation, the mosquitoes and sound of music from the melange deck at sunset – although Elza was amazing in bringing repellent and extra towels for cover). F&B - always a great choice of food! Would be great to have fresh juices available throughout the day not just for breakfast. As those that are not big drinkers and prefer healthy juice options between meals would have loved that! The Sol Rising healthy breakfast and Saffron Affair tapas and pre-dinner drinks are a great touch. Time simply flies when you’re having fun in Paradise! And we wish to be back as soon! Evetta & G.

All in all excellent, but we were disappointed with the mini bar in the room. You only stock Whiskey which we do not drink but had no choice and the wine wasn't great. Anything else, then we would have had to pay for. Considering we wanted to spend as much time as we could in our amazing villa. We often had to venture out to drink in the bars.

The hotel is in fantastic shape, as it is new, the staff are very well trained and always smiling and greetings the clients. Food was a HUGE surprise. It was phenomenal!! From the multi-ethnic 6 station restaurant, to the Italian/Mediterranean, to the vegetarian, each were fantastic. My compliments to the executive chef, as this is not an easy task for such a large hotel. The Villa was above reproach, super comfortable, great amenities, always stocked mini bar with premium products, over the water was great with wildlife always swimming under the villa. A couple of negatives: -The welcome party sent to retrieve us didn't have a sign with our name so was a little awkward -The transfer boat is a little older and made me wonder of the state of the hotel (the hotel was in perfect shape) -Upon arrival we were asked to seat on a bamboo couch (which had a beautiful design), but the finishing was not well done, and therefore a nail protruded and snagged and ripped my shorts. I mentioned this to the front desk and was only told. "OK, sorry" -no boutique to purchase other shorts / shirts or any items of need/want.

Beautiful resort; accommodation was amazing; staff so accommodating, but it was the service that stood out the most; The twice daily room service; the staff; the food; cleanliness and the organisation of the airport pickups was exceptional and when leaving we received the same service right up to the international check in counter

Fantastic location, great service, excellent experience

Thanks for the great arrangement for the anniversary celebration, it was a unforgettable experience that we never had. The hospitality and housekeeping are superb !!! Beautiful & clean, full of drinks and snacks in the room. Good job guys !!

We booked this via an online deal, not sure what to expect. But we were pleasantly surprised. From the moment we arrived all staff were so friendly, accommodating and helpful. Nisha, Hoodi, Anna were just some of the staff that made this holiday one to remember. The food at all the restaurants was absolutely Delicious and very tasty, the barmen always happy to give you a little more. The rooms are stunning and clean with everything you need. So many activities we couldn't decide to stay busy or relax. Can't fault anything! Will definitely come back.

The food was amazing from breakfast right through dinner and everything in between. The water (especially around Juliet beach) was sublime. The staff were so friendly and accommodating and took care of everything. The all inclusive package was very generous. The team also did a great job assisting getting from Male to the resort. The spa was very well run and had some amazing therapies. You could find a private beach anywhere at anytime. Unforgettable experience!!
