North Male Atoll, Kaafu Atoll hotel rooms at the Universal Resorts

"This was our first time in the Maldives and it exceeded our expectations. It was absolutely amazing. We paid extra to have a pool at our bungalow but the resort does have its own pool where we found ourselves most times so I would say it’s definitely not needed to have your own pool but it is nice to have one. We had baby black tip reef sharks, puffer fish, eagle rays, and so much more right under our bungalow and we could snorkel everyday off our bungalow and see such amazing things. The staff was incredible very friendly. They had golf carts available all hours to pick us up from our bungalow and bring us to food, dinner, anywhere we needed. We don’t have kids but I loved to see how much they had to offer for kids as well. We will definitely be coming back"

"It was a great experience, all the staff were just absolutely amazing, the food was delicious and all the drinks were well prepared.. everything was 100 perfect. "

"The rooms are spotless. The staff are courteous Quiet resort. "

"Pros: Beautiful island, excellent staff, delicious food and very convenient location. Loved every second of our entire stay. Cons: Male and shipping traffic very visible, didn't bother us but may bother others. Snorkeling around the hotel isn't the best, but there are some decent places to be found. "

"Highly recommend visiting, resort is very well maintained and organized with all inclusive including alcoholic beverages"
