Dusit Thani Maldives

This is the first time we came to Maldive, the amazing stay in Dusit makes us feel exactly right to choose this island. Thanks to all the efforts and help from hotel, especially we want to say thanks to our butler, Ajaa! He always help us to solve problems immediately and pick up us whenever and wherever we were! His service made us feel like home, we hope to come again and see him one more time! The island is fantastic with its Tiffany sea and jelly color sea water, the beach has the finest sand which is really suitable and comfortable for walking! And the important thing is every dish in island is sooooo nice and delicious! AI is highly suggested because the drinks in sand bar is great! You can enjoy a lot of cocktail anytime you want! There are many other things we want to share, in one word, we will definitely come again! Thanks to Ajaa, thanks to amazing island Dusit!

The resort itself was beautiful and serene. From the moment we arrived and were greeted by a group of staff with a fresh cold beverage we could tell that this was going to be a very special vacation. Every inch of the island is beautiful and maintained to an exceptional standard. The room was super comfortable with a wonderful outlook over the ocean and house reef. We loved the time we spent in our personal pool and snorkelling the house reef by simply taking the stairs from our deck straight into the water. The food at the three restaurants was exceptional. Our favourite was Benjarong (Thai cuisine), however the Sea Grill and The Market (buffet) also had great food. We had the Pure Indulgence package that included buffet breakfast at the Market and then three course selections for lunch and dinner from any of the restaurants. With so much to choose from we never became bored with the menu, and we certainly never went hungry. The package also included a good selection of beers and wine by the glass as well as an enormous cocktail menu which we committed ourselves to trying every cocktail available over the length of our stay. There were cocktails available at the restaurants, but we also spent hours just relaxing at the Sand Bar looking out over the view chatting with the staff and trying as many of the cocktail recipes as we could. The range of activities available to do through the Dive Centre was impressive, and while expensive, the activities we signed up for were well worth the money. We did the Turtle Safari, on which we saw five turtles, an Eagle Ray and an impressive number and diversity of tropical fish species. We also did a parasailing adventure which took us on a an aerial lap around the island which was both peaceful and exhilarating at the same time. What made this holiday really special was not the island itself, but the staff. There was not a single staff member who did not go out of their way to make us feel very warmly welcomed. The beautifully maintained paths all over the island were raked every morning by a dedicated team of grounds staff. As we talk our morning walk to the Market for breakfast these staff would always stop what they were doing and turn around to greet us. The person who made up our room twice a day did a wonderful job, and we could always tell immediately that he had visited by the fresh fragrance of lemon grass in the room. There are so many staff (around 300) at this resort that work so hard to make every guest’s stay so special, we want to thank them all but obviously it is not possible to mention them all by name. However, there were some staff that we interacted with a lot that were extra special. These staff greeted and welcomed us each time we visited their respective areas of the island, and took extra time to chat, have fun and share stories that helped us to get to know them and understand their backgrounds. When invited to do so, some even shared family photos and stories of their families which really made us feel deeply connected with them for the time we were there. These staff that we feel deserve special mention for going above and beyond were; The Market: Shahina (we are already missing your smile, laughter and stories at breakfast time each day), Sofwan (thank you for taking the time to share stories with us and good luck with the soccer!), Kaka (for showing care and attention) and Ma (for your warm welcoming smile and friendly conversations). The Sea Grill: Rubieau (took a lot of time to just talk and make us feel welcome) and Raveesha who was also so very warm and welcoming every day. Benjarong; Obbs (one of the nicest people you will ever meet and was so attentive in making sure we received excellent service) and James (who served with such a quiet and gentle manner but was so friendly and welcoming too). The Sand Bar: Sadly, we didn’t manage to write down the names of the staff from the Sand Bar (the name badges are too hard to read without looking too obvious). But every member of staff at the Sand Bar during our stay were amazing. The waiter we had the most to do with was Michael (we think this was his name) and he was superb! The cocktails were delicious and the Bar Tender with the strong arms that could shake two cocktails at the same time with a great smile was brilliant (sorry we really wish we knew his name). Not least of all, deserving of mention was Naan our butler. This man worked tirelessly to make sure that we were happy and that all of our needs were met. Beyond this he is also just a genuinely lovely person that showed genuine care for us during our stay but also beyond. After we departed the Maldives he sent us videos of our plane departing and even checked in on us 24 hours later via Messenger to make sure that we had arrived back home in Australia safely. This is an amazing level of care and service that we have never experienced before.

非常愉快的旅行！东西非常好吃，管家Ajaa very good！推荐他！游泳很大，风景非常美！很多小动物，我们一家人非常开心！The scenery was very beautiful, the food was delicious, and the stay was very enjoyable.

We were well taken care of by our butler, Saeed was so professional and fast in response. The rooms were very clean and beautiful. Breakfast is plentiful and had a nice variety. We loved the Seagrill restaurant, amazing view next to the pool, sunset and food. Services from all of the waiters are top notch. We had one of the best massages from Ning, the spa there is private and so beautiful in the jungle vibe. The dive team was friendly and knowledgeable. We saw a manta, nurse sharks and turtles. One of the best visibility for snorkelling and diving! We couldn’t have asked for a better stay.

The pillows and the bed are the fluffiest that I ever have, the ocean is the most beautiful I have ever seen. Our butler Ajaa is so thorough and satisfactory in service. And the cleaner Mines of room 419 also scrupulous and do great
