Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa

5th trip to the maldives and 1st time at the Park hyatt Accessibility and time is a challenge here. We arrived at Male airport 1130am, waited for 4pm domestic flight that was delayed to 5pm. Then a speedboat to Hadaaya. Arrived 830pm in the dark and exhausted We booked the beach villa for 2 nights, then the water villa for another 2 The beach villa is medium sized and had “le labo” toiletries. I use le labo at home and the purple ooze that comes out of the “le lebo” bottles is not le labo. This bait and switch at a Park hyatt is a no no. The bathroom shower fixture was also faulty Had 4 dinners and short description here: - Island grill, western and steak place. Most appetisers are set at $30 and steaks are about $100. The steaks are not good for that price point. $200 per pax - Koi, psuedo japanese restaurant. Fusion food mostly, and while expectedly overpriced, they gave us some complimentary dishes. $200 per pax - Asian bbq buffet by the beach. A simple buffet and the only highlight was the beef being better than Island grill. $300 per pax - Treehouse, a private experience at a treehouse. It was crazy hot, but the food was the best of the lot, though this is not saying much. $300 per pax. Dinners/meals at Maldives is always a ransom situation, but the 3 michelin prices across the board is hard to stomach. Understand most food are imported, but they should charge significantly less for local items Breakfast is significantly better than the dinners in terms of the food Lunch and descriptions here: - Main restaurant and minimum is $30 for a soup. The “laksa” was a tiny portion, i finished the noodles in 3 bites. The soup wasn’t even real laksa - Bar had better lunch - tuna and beef burgers were acceptable. $30 each of course We went for the Turtle quest, that was good and we saw like 10 of them, plus stingrays and eagle rays. Then the next day we asked about kayaking and the staff were strangely evasive. Is it possible to kayak during a red flag day, or wait till green/yellow? What were other guests’ experiences? They couldn’t say The Water villa to us was better than the Beach villa. Better layout, real le labo toiletries, better shower fixtures and you can snorkle off the villa One day we sent clothes for laundry and it didn’t return till the next day. Lucky we were still at the hotel A nice resort with quite a few dings 7/10

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Park Hyatt Maldives! Stayed a total of 6 nights; 3 nights at the beach villa and another 3 at the overwater bungalows, and it was a spectacular first time at Maldives for the both of us! It was clean, BEAUTIFUL, and very intimate due to the small size of Hadahaa. Feels like we were on a private island during our many morning and evening strolls. The 360 house reef were amazing with plenty of fish, sharks(!!!), and even caught a glimpse of a small turtle! There were an incredible number of baby blacktip reef sharks by the bridge to the overwater villas especially in the morning and evening, presumably their breakfast and dinner times! Shoutout to Akhmed and Naja who took us on several dives including the tiger shark dives! They were calm, collected, and chill as heck, and we loved their company. We felt extremely safe during our tiger shark dive and will not hesitate to join them on our future dives at Park Hyatt. Special shoutout to Avnish Raj, the F&B manager on the property. He made us feel very comfortable and right at home. He took special attention and care on the day I did not feel well, and I truly appreciate his care and service. He is also extremely hardworking; we see him running around from morning till evening helping out other staff members, moving chairs and tables, and yet still find the time to speak with guests and remember what they liked/disliked. Park Hyatt Hadahaa is truly lucky to have Avnish as one of their managers! All the staff members at Park Hyatt were very kind and attentive as well, and I regret not jotting their names down as they were all amazing and friendly. Can’t miss our butlers Suki and Thinn who helped organized and reserve many of our meals and directed us where to go when we were lost! They were very attentive to our needs, punctual, and above all, had impeccable service.

We’re spending our last couple of days at Park Hyatt Maldives and have had a fantastic stay with my wife and our two kids. Everything here just works really well. The beach, sand, and ocean are absolutely beautiful — crystal clear water, soft sand, and perfect swimming conditions. The island is small and very convenient to walk around. Our villa is spacious, comfortable, and very well designed, and having our own pool makes a huge difference, especially with kids (although the main pool is phenomenal). It is the perfect mix of quiet privacy and convenience. The food has been consistently very good, with plenty of variety and great service. The staff are truly outstanding — friendly, polite, and always happy to help. Special thanks to Sayeed at the restaurant, Avnish, the restaurant manager, Sangita at the bar, and Suki, our room host, who all made our stay even better. That said, everyone here deserves credit — every team member we met was kind, professional, and genuinely welcoming. We had some issues with Qatar airways on our way to the resort, and Deelip and the whole reservation team did a fantastic job juggling our last minute changes. Overall, an amazing experience and a place we would absolutely come back to. The resort is more oriented for adults, but I highly recommend it for families if you are looking for a relaxed, luxury island getaway.

This was our 10th trip to the Maldives and once again we booked with Angelfish travel, who as usual provided a great service in providing advice when we were first looking for ideas then and taking care of all aspects of the booking. The Park Hyatt Hadahaa is a gorgeous island resort. Small and beautiful with the best house reef you'll ever see. If you're a keen snorkeller, it is just the best. Service levels, food and accommodation are stunning. If you can get one - go for the beach villa with pool - just beautiful and ours was in the perfect spot on the sheltered side of the island with a lovely stretch of beach in front of it and easy access to the reef (room 26!). We were looked after beautifully by Shahum. Who answered all our questions and took care of everything we needed throughout our 12 night stay. He was always easily contactable by Whatsapp and let us know about anything that was going on (excursions etc) We loved going to the Dive bar every evening before dinner. It's located on the Dusk Jetty and has a great casual friendly atmosphere. For some reason it wasnt as popular as the main bar with only ever a couple of people in there at any time. The guy who runs it, is just the best. So friendly... and makes a mean Mojito. Food is amazing - both in the main dining room and the Island Grill. Lots of choice and very high quality. Also they completely catered for my partner who is gluten intolerant. The area where the main dining room and bar is, is just lovely. Next to a beautiful infinity pool with palm trees and the beach on one side. It's so well designed and stylish. The only fly in the sun-cream is the expense. Expensive to book and the cost of drinks and food etc outside of your meal plan is astonishing. Think 15 dollars (+ 17% for auto-gratuity and taxes) for a bottle of Corona. We were asked if we wanted to attend a beach BBQ -- 220 dollars each (!). Excursions and spa treatments are also way over-priced, even by Maldives standards. But, to most of the people there, it didnt seem to be an issue. We're just not used to that sort of luxury pricing. We were a little worried about the connections required to get there - after your main flight to Male you have to catch a domestic flight to a nearby island in the atol (too far away for a sea plane) then it's a short 30min ride in a speed boat to the resort. But everything was taken care of by the resort, with plenty of friendly dedicated staff at Male etc to help you every step of the way. It's nothing to worry about. I miss the place already and if money wasnt an issue, we'd go back every year!

We enjoyed a truly amazing six nights all inclusive at the Park Hyatt in a beach pool villa, number 36. The living island is amazing so natural and has some fantastic house reef for snorkelling and diving. The island feels very quiet as there are only 51 villas so it is peaceful and tranquil for a truly relaxing stay. Our villa was spacious, comfortable and had the most luxurious outdoor bathroom I’ve ever experienced. What makes this hotel truly special is the service and staff. This exceeded our expectations in every way from the fantastic friendly service we received. The staff are so friendly and go out their way to ensure you have a lovely stay. The food was to a high standard and was delicious. I would like to personally thank our housekeeper Huxaif who always had a great smile on his face and went out if his way to ensure our villa was made up every day. In addition Avnish from the food and beverage management team always insured our food and dining experience was to a high standard and he was particularly helpful and had excellent communication skills. Finally Ahmed, our diving/snorkelling instructor was very patient, passionate about his job and professional with us and we enjoyed an excellent boat trip out to snorkel and dive. We enjoyed a couples massage in the spa, which was the most relaxing experience I’ve ever had and I totally recommend this tranquil experience. It was very sad leaving the living island and we take home some fantastic memories and I would 100% recommend this top end luxury boutique hotel and I hope to return next January. Thank you so much to all the staff who deserve recognition for their outstanding service to guests
