Wir waren zum 2.Mal im AK und waren wieder sehr begeistert.
Besonders hervorheben möchten wir das gesamte Personal in den Restaurants.
Gerade beim Frühstück ist es uns wieder positiv auf gefallen,das man kaum das der Orangensaft oder der Kaffee leer getrunken war,gefragt wurde ob man noch einen möchte.
Das haben wir bisher nicht oft so erlebt, und wir kennen 17 Inseln auf den Malediven!!!
Der deutsche Chefkoch Joachim Textor ist sehr präsent,und leistet mit seinem Team eine hervorragende Arbeit
Besonders das große Frühstücksbuffet ist hier zu erwähnen.

Auch das Unterwasserrestaurant ist sehr zu empfehlen!!!!
Ein kulinarischer Genuss, inmitten eines "Aquariums"

Unser Host Hannah hat sich wieder sehr nett ums uns gekümmert,danke dafür.
Ein besonders Dank geht auch an RM Maurice,er hat alles getan um uns den Urlaub so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten.

Das Hausriff war auch bei starkem Wind wunderbar zu beschnorcheln ,und wir hatten tolle Begegnungen mit Stingrays und Schildkröten.. u.v.m.

Wir haben bereits für November gebucht.
Und werden dann, mit unserer erwachsenen Tochter kommen,um ihr dieses wunderschöne Resort zu zeigen.

See you soon in November

Ansonsten sehr schöne und auch gepflegte Insel mit tollem Riff zum schnorcheln. Wir hatten 2 Personen mit Gluten Unverträglichkeit dabei, was überhaupt kein Problem darstellte und bestens versorgt wurde.

Türkisfarbenes Wasser, weisse Sandstrände, Sonne, Palmen, blauer Himmel - hört sich alles fantastisch und paradiesisch an, ist aber leider nicht ganz so!
Täglicher Fluglärm morgens ab 06:15h vor der sehr schönen Watervilla und dahinter brausen die Golfcarts über die Holzstege mit und für die Gäste!
Die Watervillas sind zu dicht aneinander gebaut, kaum Privatsphäre, vor allem dann nicht, wenn schon am
Morgen früh um 07:00h hyperventilierende Kinder sich im Pool nebenan fetzen oder um 17:13h (gerade eben) am Haupt-Pool laut schreien, so dass man es bis zu den Water-Villas rüber hört!
Definitiv ein richtiges Paradies für Kinder und ihre Eltern, die heutzutage vielfach überfordert sind mit deren Erziehung, ganz nach dem Motto „laisser-faire!“, aber auf Kosten der nach Ruhe lechzenden Gästen! Wohl bemerkt mein Mann hat auch 5 Kinder, aber solch Verhalten definitiv noch nie erlebt - ein No-Go!
Essen überall wirklich in allen Restaurants super, Service meistens Ok, überall barfuss möglich, kein wirklicher Dresscode auch abends nicht und dennoch geht tagsüber in den Restaurants Bikini und Badeshorts ohne Tshirt etwas zu weit - nicht sehr appetitlich!
Generell stimmt Preis/Leistung nicht überein! Preise trotz Halbpension wirklich horrend: 1000USD pro Person im Unterwasser-Restaurant (7-Gang Menü für alle, haben wir erst vor Ort herausgefunden, sollte man schon vorher bei Buchung erwähnen), 800USD für tolles Buffet mit Belly-Tänzerin am Strand (Preis definitiv auch gesalzen oder?) dafür gratis dazu überall spielende und kreischende Kinder, welche die liebevoll aufgestellten Lichtkerzen am Strand ständig in Blink Modus umgeschalten, bis das Personal nur auf unsere Bitte hin, einschreitet (Eltern passiv desinteressiert).
Kein Lovecouple feeling - an zwei Abenden hintereinander so passiert!
Um 21:00h wie ausgestorben, waren praktisch immer die letzten Gäste in jedem Restaurant auf der Insel! Tische und Stühle wurden dann immer um uns herum bereits abgebaut bzw. zusammengestellt! Nicht wirklich toll!
Personal wenigstens immer sehr freundlich!
Live Band in der Sky Bar war immer in der Pause (es hiess sie wären beim Abendessen - warum essen sie nicht davor oder danach???), als wir meistens um 19:30h zum Apéro kamen - wie gesagt um 21:00h alle Restaurants und die Bar meistens leer, da eben praktisch die meisten Gäste nur Familien mit Kindern sind! Kein Problem für uns, waren jeweils sehr froh um die Ruhe, aber halt für die Ambiance schade, wenn man alleine im grossen leeren Restaurant sitzt!
Auch definitiv ein Paradies für russische Staatsbürger (!!) - man glaubt es kaum, dachte das Land befindet sich doch gerade im Krieg!?
Nochmal zu erwähnen Essen wirklich überall super!
Tauchschule ganzes Team extrem freundlich, sehr professionell und Service orientiert, tolles Tauchparadies, auch das Haus-Reef sehr zu empfehlen!
Sauberkeit überall auf der ganzen Insel super und Standard.
Unser Butler Jambe sehr zuvorkommend und stets da für uns, wenn wir ihn brauchten, was jedoch nicht wirklich viel vorkam, wir sind sehr selbständig, Housekeeping auch top vor allem Saiph, der Room Boy hat uns immer tolle Überraschungen im Zimmer vorbereitet, wie Schaumbad mit Rosen, Rosen auf dem Bett mit Verzierungen aus Handtüchern gezauberte Schwäne - wirklich sehr süss und liebevoll!
Boutique nur internationale Top-Marken, wie in jeder Boutique in London, Mailand oder Paris - einfach alles was teuer ist! Wer kann, der findet definitiv tolle Sachen - zum Glück kam ich schon mit Übergewicht an - mein Mann war froh!
Fitness super, sehr sauber mit Klima und toller Betreuung - immer freundlich aufgestelltes Personal!
Auch ein Dschungel-Kino gibt es!
Leider kostet praktisch alles extra und das definitiv nicht wenig! Wie zum Beispiel die teuerste Massage ever: 300USD pro Person für 1h - ok mit Sicht aufs Meer durch ein Lucke, aber definitiv nicht besser, als sonst wo, ohne das Loch im Boden!
Was sehr cool ist, jede Villa (Water & Sand) ist mit eigenen Velos ausgestattet für Alt und Jung und man kann sich damit auf der Insel super über die Sandwege im Schatten der Insel fortbewegen, sehr gut beschildert und nachts auch beleuchtet! Macht Spass!
Kleines Detail am Schluss: mussten sehr lange auf Flug-Transfer ab Malé auf die Insel warten, due to technical issues - mal schauen, wie es morgen bei der Abreise wird!?
Würden wir wiederkommen? Eher nein, da es noch so viel andere schöne Orte auf dieser Welt zi bereisen gibt und wir definitiv lieber etwas für uns Passenderes als Paar suchen! Robinson Crusoe Feeling - Fehlanzeige!
All in all war es schön, hatten tolle Tauchgänge, fein gegessen, schön gewohnt, viel gelacht, sind gebräunt, aber waren definitiv schon erholter!
Trotzdem allen Mitarbeitern ein Dankeschön! Wir kommen aus derselben Branche und wissen, was es heisst so ein Ressort zu führen, dennoch Preis/Leistung sind nicht (mehr) in Balance!

Un resort bellissimo, noi abbiamo alloggiato in una Walter Villa che è strepitosa! Siamo stati coccolati dal nostro Villa Attendant Waheed, la pulizia della stanza ottima, anche il nostro house keeper Piyal è stato super carino, sempre disponibile ad accompagnarci, e ha risolto nel giro di brevissimo tempo un problema di rumore per il vento nella camera, abbiamo avuto il piacere di provare la spa, bella. ! L’esperienza dello Sky watch stellare! Si nota che il ragazzo che ci ha fatto guida fra le stelle ha una passione vera per l’astronomia. Ottima anche l’idea delle biciclette per girare sull’isola!

L’unica nota negativa, è che ogni servizio extra è a mio avviso estremamente caro, l’acqua da pagare a parte nei ristoranti,. carissima! Ce ne sono 5 sull’isola, ma nel nostro caso erano aperti a rotazione, e si doveva sempre prenotare… non so personalmente essendo in vacanza mi piacerebbe aver più libertà e non aver per forza orari fissi o scelte semi obbligate.

Nel complesso bellissima vacanza!

Prima volta alle Maldive e quindi cerco una location da urlo per non soffrire la limitazione di un atollo. E questo qui lo trovi, giri in bici ed è simpatico e hai gli spazi per non soffocare. Preso una water villa con piscina lato tramonto, nulla da dire sulla camera anche se gli arredi apparentemente un po datati. Ristoranti discreti se amate la cucina asiatica ricca di spezie. Ha anche un ristorante italiano che cucina una discreta pasta e pizza per chi sente la mancanza di sapori di casa dopo qualche giorno. Palestra ottimamente fornita. Purtroppo le condizioni meteo non ci hanno aiutato nel fare uscite in barca o snorkeling come avremmo voluto. Tutto bene solo un grosso neo, rapporto qualità prezzo totalmente fuori da ogni logica da ogni possibilità di immaginazione. Troppo troppo veramente troppo. Alla fine limita anche le escursioni o la spa.

Die Insel, das Hotel und auch der Service sind einmalig. Die Sauberkeit und auch die Pflege der Insel wird sehr ernst genommen. Der Hotelmanager beteiligt sich selbst hieran (zwei mal beim Rundspaziergang beobachtet) und geht mit sehr gutem Beispiel voran. Das Service-Team am Pool, Frühstück war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam.

Sono rimasto fortemente deluso dalla sistemazione in villa con un nucleo familiare composto da 5 persone tra cui 3 bambini di 12,9 e 5 anni …inoltre la struttura è totalmente inadeguata in caso di condizioni meteo avverse, basta pensare che i giochi sono all’aperto e bagnandosi vengono interclusi all’utilizzo

Wir waren das 2. Mal im Anantara Kihava huravalhi und, wie schon beim 1. Mal, höchst zufrieden. Das Ambiente der Insel ist durch den dichten "Urwald" sehr heimelig und besonders. Die sehr freundlichen und kompetenten Angestellten des Resorts machten den Aufenthalt zu einem einmalig schönen Erholungsurlaub und Erlebnis. Sollten wir die Malediven wieder bereisen, dann nur zu diesem Resort auf diese Insel.

Lieu d'exception avec des prestations d'exception.
Bien sûr, les extra sont onéreux mais on le sait avant de partir et tout a un prix... car Kihavah est un lieu paradisiaque avec des prestations 5 étoiles luxe.
Le tombant est exceptionnel pour les amateurs de snorkeling mais il est principalement riche de part les coraux et les bancs de poissons : tout simplement exceptionnel. Vous verrez aussi de manière quotidienne des tortues, quelques raies pastenagues et aigles ainsi que petit requins de récif et poulpe. Ce n'est pas une passe d'un atool pour voir du très gros. On a tout de même vu des dauphins, magique.
N'oubliez pas que vous êtes sur une petite île au milieu de l'océan indien donc repos, farniente, spa, plongée et repas gastronomique sont les principales activités, même si une multitudes de proposition sont faites ( mention spéciale à l'observatoire des constellations).
Personnellement, ce sont les vacances parfaites pour un couple d'amoureux.
L'équipe est au petit soin et d'une amabilité exceptionnel.
Enfin, au delà de l'imaginaire, le SEA est son repas gastronomique sous la mer...unique !
Je conseille bungalow plage 111 à 114, l'emplacement idéal.

Je n’ai pas séjourné à l’hôtel mais j’ai uniquement manger au restaurant SEA , c’est incroyable, le lieu est fabuleux et l’hôtel est aussi très beau ! La nourriture est excellente, mangez avec autant de poisson est vraiment fabuleux !

Un très bel endroit aux Maldives !

Dear Friends of Anantara!

We are absolutely delighted to learn of your experience in our undersea restaurant SEA! The food served is indeed delicious, but the view, 6 meters below sea level, is spectacular.

Some trivia; on a lucky day, while dining in the restaurant during lunch or dinner, you will be able to not only see a vast array of colourful fish, but also turtles, reef - and nurse sharks.

And not to forget, we are the only restaurant in the world that ages Dom Perignon Champagne under the sea, right outside of the restaurant. And after one year of aging, you will be able to experience the most amazing taste sensation.

Dear Friends, thank you once again for your patronage and we look forward to welcoming you back to Anantara Kihavah in the not too distant future. And perhaps next time you might even consider staying with us.

Thank you,

Sjefke

Llegar al hotel, es llegar al paraíso, las aguas, las habitaciones, la comida, la isla... es un lugar increíble.
La atención es excelente, tuvimos la suerte de contar con nuestra Host MARIA, que hizo toda la diferencia. Es una gran profesional, muy amable y siempre disponible para aconsejar y ayudarnos con cualquier cosa.

Destacaría las Villas Over Water, son impresionantes, espaciosas y cuidadas con mucho mimo. Tuvimos la suerte de contar con Waheed quien se encargó de arreglar nuestras habitaciones siempre con detalles e impecable.

La experiencia en el restaurante SEA bajo el agua es única, es como bajar a otro mundo mientras disfrutas de un desayuno, comida o cena.

Nos sentimos increíblemente bien en el hotel, repetiría y recomiendo!

Sincerely,

Dopo aver letto le ottime recensioni abbiamo deciso di trascorrere ben 14 giorni in quello che ci era parso essere un piccolo angolo di paradiso.Per questo San Valentino non abbiamo voluto badare a spese per superare le nostre 4 precedenti esperienze maldiviane a cinque stelle.
L' isola, dopo un volo in idrovolante stipati come bestie, ci si é presentata con un' acqua   lontana parente di quella dai colori mozzafiato che abbiamo imparato a conoscere da queste parti. Ci hanno detto di una recente moria di coralli che stanno cercando di ripristinare.
La overwater villa con piscina in cui abbiamo soggiornato era comunque meravigliosa. Ben organizzata e pulita.
Il fatto che fosse orientata ad est ci permesso una maggior privacy rispetto alla dinamica da "villaggio vacanze" di questo Anantara. Infatti, con nostra grande delusione, il resort era colmo di famiglie con  bimbi che ne monopolizzavano gli spazi comuni. L' isola é sfruttata in ogni suo angolo. Nei ristoranti  i posti migliori sono sempre merce rara e comunque la magia viene sempre distrutta dall' immancabile chiassosa tavolata da 10 persone con bimbi al seguito. La colazione, pur massificata, é eccellente per varietà e qualitá. Il servizio, alla faccia della proverbiale gentilezza maldiviana, é superficiale salvo quando, raramente, compare il manager trasformando tutti in fastidiosissimi leccapiedi. Ci sono quattro ristoranti per la sera. Il loro livello é abbastanza buono anche se ripetitivo. Se si incappa peró in un paio di grandi tavolate, la cucina viene monopolizzata e ci si ritrova con piatti cucinati velocemente e di bassa qualitá.Abbiamo addirittura passato una notte a vomitare senza che nessuno del management si preoccupasse almeno di scusarsi.Da segnalare in negativo é il pessimo ristorante giapponese che, essendo fuori dal trattamento di mezza pensione, cercano di propinare in tutti i modi per fare ulteriore cassa. Abbiamo giocato 5 volte a tennis col maestro ( bravo ) pagando oltre 1000 dollari ( manco fosse Federer)  e condividendo l' unica racchetta con corde decenti ma con manico da donna con gli altri ospiti.
Ottima l' esperienza con l' astronomo e ottima l' uscita in moto d' acqua a 470 dollari per un' ora spaccata al minuto, manco fosse uno yacht.
In generale tutto il personale sembra istruito per spingerti a spendere soldi a prezzi totalmente assurdi o a darti servizi che dovresti giá avere pagato in cambio di laute mance. Tra gli ospiti era diffusa la battuta che in questo Anantara ti vogliono far pagare anche l' aria che respiri.
Sintomatico della gestione é il fatto che chi si attarda per esempio in piscina per godere il meraviglioso tramonto, subisce il mobbing degli addetti che sul più bello passano a chiudere gli ombrelloni e a coprire le sdraio con le plastiche.
Oggi siamo partiti con quello che doveva essere il comodo volo di una trentina di minuti lautamente pagato per tornare a Malé. Esso é durato oltre un' ora in quanto ci siamo fermati a metá strada per raccogliere un sacco di altra gente. Tutto ciò ha reso il viaggio pessimo per il caldo atroce e per gli sbalzi dovuti al peso. Mia moglie ha dovuto esser sbarcata con una sedia a rotelle in quanto ha avuto una serie di mancamenti per il caldo. Quindi il soggiorno é finito nel pieno mood del villaggio:  trattati come vacche da mungere! .
Piccola chicca finale : Nessuno ci ha informato della necessità di riempire il modulo di partenza dalle Maldive. Avremmo potuto farlo al resort mentre abbiamo atteso oltre  un' ora al caldo il salatissimo conto degli extra. Questo ci avrebbe evitato di essere respinti all' imbarco con conseguenti disagi dovuti alla mancanza di wi fi.
Spero di non aver annoiato nessuno, ma avevo bisogno di sfogarmi  dopo aver speso oltre 30.000 euro per venir trattati in questo modo dozzinale in quello che rimane uno dei posti più belli del mondo : le Maldive.

Dear Protettovagabondo,

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit us recently and for sharing your experience with others.

We are all naturally disappointed to know that your time on the island was not as enjoyable as you hoped or expected. I am deeply sorry that we let you down in many ways. It is also surprising to us that you even during multiple interactions with our management team you did not share these concerns so that we could have addressed them and ensured that you were satisfied. Our intention, at all times, is to provide genuine hospitality and to extend a world-class experience to all of our guests. Please accept my apologies that this was not the case during your stay with us and that you departed unhappy.

If your travels do bring you back to the Maldives, we would love to welcome you back so that we can make up for your recent disappointment and re-establish your trust in our resort. Please do contact me directly as it will be my pleasure to handle all of the arrangements personally.

With kind regards,

Il resort è molto bello. E lo dico dopo aver visitato circa venti Resort alle Maldive nel corso degli anni.
La spiaggia è ampia, lunga, senza il muro di contenimento che oggi alberga in quasi tutti i Resort.
Il reef splendido e molto vicino alla riva. E' possibile fare semplicemente snorkeling come se ci si in un acquario.
Il cibo è davvero eccellente ma la mezza pensione è ingannevole : si può cenare solo in due ristoranti e l'acqua si paga a parte. I vini sono i più cari che ho trovato alle Maldive .
Da un Resort che vuole esprimere il livello paragonabile ai sette otto resort di superlusso, mi aspetto qualcosa in più godermi appieno la vacanza. Qualcosa che mi faccia sentire il senso di appartenenza al resort . A vantaggio del Kihavah devo però dire che rispetto ai suoi competitors, il prezzo è sotto la media .
Il voto nel complesso è molto alto, le critiche sono davvero per raggiungere la vetta. Ne ha tutte le potenzialità.

Dear massimo n,

Acabamos de llegar del Anantara Kilavah, donde hemos pasado 10 días de maravillosas vacaciones.
Ya habíamos estado en Maldivas 7 veces y esta era nuestra octava experiencia.
Todo en este viaje ha resultado perfecto.
Hemos estado en una villa sobre el mar, orientada a poniente. La villa es amplia, con acceso a un mar tranquilo. Es un espacio relajante, bien amueblado, cama cómoda y un servicio de limpieza dos veces por día, prestado inteligentemente porque no hemos coincidido en ninguna de sus intervenciones. Siempre, al volver, todo estaba limpio y preparado. De hecho, en la villa tienes todo lo que puedas desear. Sol, mar, relax, descanso, e incluso peces,.... La laguna tiene vida propia animada. Ves pasar los peces, y no precisamente pequeños, por debajo de tu villa y seguirlos desde la ducha al aire libre o desde las tumbonas en la terraza.
El hotel tiene varios restaurantes, entre los que destaca el Sea. Un restaurante submarino, anclado a la altura del arrecife que rodea la laguna, donde puedes apreciar por sus paredes de cristal la abundante vida del arrecife del Anantara. Para mi el mejor y más vivo y habitado de cuantos conozco en Maldivas.
El resto son restaurantes más habituales en este tipo de resorts, el italiano, el de desayuno y comidas temáticas, el spicy para comidas de la zona, ... La bodega es bastante impresionante para estar en mitad del índico. Cara pero muy completa y buena. Puedes tomar buenos vinos de casi todo el mundo y de casi todas las regiones vitivinícolas.
La isla tiene un tamaño pequeño, pero aunque el resort estaba completo, todo se disemina y las playas permanecen vacías, típicas de Maldivas. Te saludas durante los desplazamientos en Bicicleta.
Un capitulo aparte merece el servicio. Nosotros fuimos atendidos personalmente por Ismail, para todo cuanto pudieramos necesitar durante nuestra estancia. Y puedo asegurar que respondió a todo con rapidez y máxima efectividad. Pudo resolver, tanto un ruido en la villa, como una reserva en el restaurante, o en el Spa o un cambio de reserva para un snorkel con mantas raya, etc... Si queriamos desplazarnos en buggi y no en bicicleta, nunca tardó más de 5 minutos, tampoco tardó el hielo para la habitación, o la realización de PCR para el viaje de retorno.
Ismail hizo que nuestra estancia fuera más tranquila y agradable si cabe. Fue, sencillamente, perfecto.
Este es un resort claramente recomendable.
La vida del arrecife, por si solo, al que se accede fácilmente desde la playa merecen ya una atención especial. Pero es que el resto, mejoran la experiencia.
Un acierto.
Gracias a todos
