Avis : JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa

L’environnement des hôtels des Maldives est magnifique et le service est également très bon ! Mais il y a certains détails que je ne suis pas heureux de partager : 1. Les Indiens aiment beaucoup aller sur cette île, donc on peut imaginer la saveur générale de la nourriture sur l'île ! 2. Le vent et les vagues autour de l'île sont très forts, l'eau est très désolée et il n'y a ni coraux ni poissons, elle n'est donc pas adaptée à la plongée en apnée. 3. Les frais sont très chers, une bouteille de mini Coca coûte 8 US$ et une tonne de riz coûte en gros environ 500 US$ ! 4. Le service du centre aquatique est très médiocre. La bouteille de snorkeling de rechange qui l'accompagne ne peut pas être gonflée, mais elle a déjà été remplie dans d'autres îles de Madai !

Il s'agit uniquement du coût de l'hôtel. Les vols par voie maritime ou terrestre nécessitent un paiement supplémentaire. Il faut faire attention à Un autre point à noter est que deux repas sont inclus dans la journée, mais il s'agit du petit-déjeuner et du déjeuner. Cela n'est pas clairement indiqué. Il faut dire qu'il s'agit directement du petit-déjeuner et du déjeuner, sans parler des deux repas. Ceux qui incluent des repas doivent également faire attention Les repas peuvent être commandés pour être livrés dans la chambre moyennant des frais de livraison de repas de seulement 29 $, mais le plus drôle, c'est que les enfants doivent payer pour les repas livrés dans la chambre... L'ensemble du complexe n'est pas très grand et peut être utilisé uniquement à des fins de loisirs.

The experience at JW Marriott was great and we were impressed with both the service and the facilities. Our housekeeper Shamil's meticulous care made our trip happier. Will choose here again next time!

Nice hotel and service are good

Love it!

非常好，房間非常好

Le JW Marriott Maldives est absolument magnifique. Si vous voyagez aux Maldives pour des vacances, vous devez séjourner au JW. L'expérience dans son ensemble a été merveilleuse, de la villa sur pilotis au personnel, en passant par la nourriture et les boissons, les sports nautiques et bien plus encore. De plus, Anna et Matt, vos divertissements en chant sont tout simplement géniaux - d'autant plus que vous devriez visiter cette île.

Ce n'est pas un JW Marriott. Il s'agit simplement d'un établissement normal qui a été rénové et repris par JW. Je pense vraiment que JW n'aurait pas dû donner son nom à un tel établissement. Le service est horrible. Je suis membre Gold de Marriott Bonvoy et c'est probablement le pire hôtel dans lequel j'ai séjourné jusqu'à présent.

Great well established, maintained and run resort with a beautiful house reef, magnificent white sand beaches and crystal clear waters in all shades of blues. While the villas, views and activities where top tier, the service was definitely the highlight.

As a Marriott Bonvoy Ambassador Elite, I travel weekly and stay in Marriott hotels around the world—but the JW exceeded all expectations! Two close friends had highly recommended the resort, and we were absolutely not disappointed. The service here is world-class. Only a handful of hotels globally manage to offer this level of warmth, professionalism, and genuine hospitality. Every staff member made us feel truly welcome, and saying goodbye was hard—I felt like I was leaving family behind. At this resort, the philosophy of “the guest is king” is truly lived, and especially children are treated like royalty. The Island: Perfect for families, but also ideal for couples. There’s plenty of privacy and space to relax throughout the island. The Villas: We stayed in both the Beach Villa and the Overwater Villa—both were spotless, modern, spacious, and beautifully designed. We loved them! The Food: As a professional chef, I was blown away. From the authentic Thai restaurant to the ultimate steakhouse, there was something for every taste—absolutely sensational! The Staff: The team treats you like family—attentive, warm, and truly professional. Every wish is anticipated. A heartfelt thank you to: Gasim, our butler, who made our stay truly special. We had such a wonderful time with him thank you for everything! And thanks to mmm Lahiru, Ita, Cindy, Samira, Reny, Syaag, Manish, Asrafrul, Mala (Sorry if I forgot any names—the chefs were also fantastic and so attentive!) Words can’t fully capture the experience—you simply have to live it for yourself. Thank you for everything. We truly hope to see you again very soon! Warmest regards and keep up the amazing work!

Great stay.. the staff of this resort is exceptional and they make you feel at home immediately.. they take care of you and your needs with warmth and smile. Malla, our villa butler, was amazing in his service and assistance! The resort need a bit of freshening up especially on the wooden deck side and overall food and beverages / activities prices are a bit on the high side (but you are in the Maldives and that should be expected anyhow). Overall it was a very relaxing and joyful holiday thanks to the warmth of the staff.. indeed a 5 star rating!

We had the pleasure of spending our Honeymoon on this island and although the vacation was extremely expensive it was one of the best experiences our life and worth it for our special occasion. We ended up spending 15.000 USD for 5 nights which is an average of 3k per night. We opted for all included in food but still it was a price extremely high for our expectation. The staff has made the experience special, from our personal assistant Naawish to the chef who made specially handmade gluten free food for me, his name is Rohit. He made me experience for the first time in my life Prata and other Indian food thanks to his skill in making everything gluten free for me. There are 5 or 6 restaurants in the island so there are plenty of option for you to eat every day in a different place. They also surprised us during the stay with small surprises for our honeymoon like giving us special seating on the dock during our last night and few other small gestures that were highly appreciated. The island is gorgeous and I think it's quite private so you have so many time in which you have the beach all for yourself. We stayed in both Overwater Villa and Beach Villa and I recommend doing the same so you can experience both during the stay. There are few reason that made me give though 4 stars and not 5 and here are some of the consideration if you plan to stay here: - Missing points as Marriott Bonvoy Platinum Member: For some reason the points received after the stay as Platinum member are less than what I was expecting. I reached out to them and they called me and sent me various emails acknowledging that I have not received what I and they were expecting. Up to this day (3 weeks from my stay) I still haven't received the missing points. Unfortunately they after stay support hasn't not been great and this has affected the overall experience. (Hopefully somebody from their staff will read this and follow up from my emails) - this brings to the second point. All activities, photo shooting, Taxes, GST, seaplane are not eligible for Points. For us was 33% of our overall spending (only 9.8k out of 15k spent were eligible for points). That's a lot of points and honestly I wasn't expecting to miss so many points from the stay. - This island is extremely expensive. We have traveled a lot around the world and this has been the most expensive place we have been. be ready to spend way more than you plan. Between villa, food and other activities we had planned 2k USD a day but we ended up spending 3k a day. Anything you do is expensive, even something simple like Shisha that anywhere else would cost you 30$ here will cost you more than 100$ . We had some photos taken by the photographer and it cost 450 USD to have a digital copy of them. I was honestly expecting to have it included in the package since we spent over 15.000 $

The Maldives is a nation of over 1,000 islands and atolls spread out across 90,000 square kilometres in the Indian Ocean. Visiting any of its resorts requires flying into Malé, the Maldavian capital island and then taking separate transportation, usually via seaplane or speedboat, to the resort itself. For most of the Maldives resorts, once you’ve made a reservation, the resort takes care of all the pre-arrival logistics so that you don’t have to worry about anything. The JW Marriott Maldives was no exception, confirming our seaplane bookings on our behalf and having staff members at the International Airport to take care of arriving and departing guests. Upon arrival into Male, our JW Marriott hosts took our passports and completed check-in with Trans Maldivian Airways on our behalf. After check-in was complete and we had our boarding passes in hand, we boarded the JW Marriott private transport and driven across the airport towards the dedicated lounge facilities for guests who are awaiting their seaplane journey. Along the way, the driver let us know there was complimentary wifi onboard, the first of countless acts of going the extra mile service that we experienced on this trip. We were invited to make ourselves comfortable for the 30-minute wait before it would be time to board the seaplane. The JW Marriott Maldives, which completely encompasses Vagaru island in the remote Shaviyani Atoll, is a spectacular 50 minute seaplane ride and has to be one of the highlights of your holiday. It has to be said, that hotels here are very few and far between, so there’s pretty much uninterrupted views without another island in sight. This island won’t disappoint, with its amazing pure white sandy beaches and electric blue waters, plus, seclusion and serenity are the signature offering here! Vagaru island was a former resort adopted by JW Marriott with the designers having to work around many of the existing buildings. The result is a quirky take on a contemporary style with natural elements. All 60 villas have been designed from the outside to mimic the lines of a traditional Maldivian Dhoni boat. Each has a decent sized outdoor deck as well as a private pool. We booked the duplex villa option which gets a separate second en-suite room. This worked particularly well as we were travelling with two kids and gave us all our own space. Villas are categorised by their sunrise or sunset views and you can choose between overwater or beach, although do note, the overwater villas are set along quite a lengthy jetty. These villas also have bathrooms that overlook the walkway, so you will need to drop the blinds for privacy. For those staying in overwater villas which do not have the direct beach access, there are a plenty of designated sun lounger spots. The JW caters very well for both families and couples alike. There’s a large T-shaped family pool and then a separate pool called Pool 18, designed for adults-only. Pool 18 reaches out over the sea with am

2nd time back in Maldives because we had such a magical trip the 1st time in Sept 24. My partner decided to choose another resort within Marriot Bonvoy Group so that we could capture new experiences. From the moment we arrived at the resort, about a 50-min sea plane ride from Male, it was clear that we were going to have a great time. We were greeted warmly with Maldivian drums and staff by the jetty. Our Butler - Hassan was assigned to take care of us for the week at the resort. The service provided by him was not only seamless but attentive without being intrusive. He was always just a message away, arranging our floating breakfast, photoshoot, spa, beach dinners, even personally delivering sweet treats to us on some days after his work shift. Honestly, we were so blown away by his dedication after our disastrous encounter with our previous butler from our 1st trip. We bumped into 1 of the staff member - Sovia (Aailaa restaurant) who was working at the previous resort we were at. That was a nice surprise seeing a familiar face! After which,we also found out another staff member - Uzam had transferred over. We had such a wonderful time catching up (truly happy and proud that their career progression is going well), exchanging contacts to keep in touch this time around since fate works in mysterious ways of allowing us to cross paths again. Every staff member, to name a few (Bhgyashree, Rameez) that we have encountered, from our villa attendent (Nabeeh), restaurants hosts (Sovia, Tia, Zahuvan, Reni, Zahir, Aalif and many more - I tried my very best to remember their names) and chefs (Dinesh, Upali, Kenika) were genuinely invested in making our stay perfect. We met Chef Dinesh and Chef Upali, Sovia, Tia every day when we were at Aalia Restaurant to have our breakfast.  Seeing them was our way of knowing that we were going to have a great day, every day. I was utterly spoilt by them like royalty, my expanding waistline and weight gain can attest to it. We also met Chef Kenika who handles the Thai restaurant - Kaashi on the island. We had our 1st dinner - Treetop Thai Night (only on Mon). The menu was curated well that we went back for more thai food over the next few days. It was like having a piece of thailand in Maldives - what a perfect combination. Chef Kenika cooks from her heart and you can tell that from the flavours of the food. Zahuvan , who was stationed at Kaashi (lunch), Hashi & Shiro (dinner) was so attentive in his service and we always look forward to seeing him. We also had a great pleasure to meet and connect with GM Mohit Dembla during our stay. We were very surprised when we were invited to have drinks with him which followed up by dinner. It was such a warm and personal setting of conversations and personal outlooks in life. The dinner at Hashi & Shiro was perfect. Unfortunately, I was too engrossed in the dinner conversations that I forgot to take pictures of the food. In a destination as beautiful as the Maldives, it
