Loved the feeling of being on a secluded, peaceful island that felt authentic in design and decor rather than like a Westernized modern hotel. The staff were incredibly nice. There was a variety of delicious and fresh food everyday. The sea activities were plentiful. The massage at the spa was deeply restful and high quality. We stayed at three different places in the Maldives and this was our favorite.

Everything was perfect!
The villa was clean and cozy, ideal for holiday mood.
The food was simply amazing mainly served as a menu, and twice a week as buffet. Excellent taste and plaiting.
And now comes the best part: the house reef accessible from the beach!
The coral reef was not in the best shape, but it was bundled with sea life. We saw so many beautiful fishes and also big turtles, octopuses and sharks(not dangerous).
The vibrant island has something special with so much life: crabs,bats, small lizards and some birds with their weird songs(sometimes at 5am) adding it to the charm.
As a negative point, they were providing only 2GB per device for free.Since nothing about the extra charge was mentioned in the reservation on Hotels.com, we argued about it and they provided free Wi-Fi in the end.
We loved this resort for simplicity and because it is close to nature in all meanings!

Very beautiful island without all the unnecessary things like swimming pool, flat screen TVs etc. It’s a real retreat from the stress of life. Great food. Rustic accommodation, understated elegance theme throughout, no plastic chairs in sight! You relax from the moment you arrive due to the chilled atmosphere the staff create. So much sea life sharks, turtles, eagle ray, sting ray etc.
I will be back someday to lovely Makunudu.

В целом не плохо, но есть два замечания, которые было бы необходимо отметить на вашем сайте.
1. Персонал говорит только на английском языке! Нет никого, кто говорит по-французски, по-немецки и т.д.
2. На вашем сайте указано "WI-FI free". Это не правда, и многие на это жалуются. Вам дают бесплатно 2 Гб, остальное за деньги! Для тех, кому необходим интернет для работы, это не очень удобно.
3. Всё было хорошо до момента отплытия в аэропорт. Нам потратили много нервов. Одна парочка из Германии оплатила свой тур он-лайн ещё до приезда. Во время выезда начались выяснения, платили - не платили... В итоге задержали всех пассажиров в качестве заложников на 30 минут. Мы еле успели на свой рейс. Ребята сумели в последний момент испортить впечатление от такого прекрасного отдыха.

We love Makunudu and have returned there 3 times for its peacefulness and tranquility. A beautifully simple quiet hotel island, with just beach rooms, a single restaurant and bar. Snorkelling a plenty, good dive centre, some other water sports, no gym or pool.

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left the staff were so helpful and friendly. Couldnt do enough to ensure our holiday was pretty much perfect. The resort management, Ali and Sunil, were always on hand for any questions. The island is so beautiful and unspoilt ... the chef is brilliant and the food amazing. I know there are some renovations planned especially to the bathrooms which are now a little tired but overall the standard of the bungalows are very good. The bars/restaurant are lovely and the views over the island/water are breath taking ... the sunset cocktail bar is a must to visit as the sunsets are spectacular to see.
There is no need for towels on sunbeds at 4am! Each bungalow has its own designated beds which are comfortable with mattresses and sit on the beautiful beach outside your bungalow.
I would definitely visit again ... 2 weeks flew by!
My only suggestion would be to perhaps make the island adults only .... there were very few children when we were there ... but they did make themselves heard.
Overall, a holiday at Makunudu Island is definitely a must

Everything is great in this island. The staff, the food, the activities on the island. The only problem is: we were very disappointed with the corals. plenty of them are already dying.
There are often miscommunication with the staff about time, but they are very professional in general.
There are two snorkeling activities:
1) Turtle Point Discovery: don't waste our money. You can do it on your own.
2) Snorkeling Discovery: nice
Two ways to make this place better:
1) don't make fake sushi
2) get a new table tennis bat please

The resort is very run down and in need of total upgrade. The scenery around it, blue sea is beautiful. However the vegetation is so over grown and in kept , you cannot see it. Also there are piles of cegatuon , old leaves etc that are just left and consequently become breeding grounds for flys and mosquitos. Both me and my Wife were bitten to death. We stayed only one full day , the final straw was finding a worm/ leech like insect in the bed. We decide to book flights and leave that day. When we in formed reception we were leaving and neede transfer to Male, no one even asked if there was a problem. Pity could be a beautiful place. However like many resorts in Maldives they are living in the past and believe they are a cut above the rest . Sadly that's not the case any more Abd these overpriced and run down resorts are being shown for what they are. Pictures on website are very flattering , beware reality is different. I pointed out the overgrown and cononeteky unkept shrubs and trees only to be informed the gardener left several months ago. Lack of real care and it shows.

We had a great trip, best part for us was the lack of a tv and very limited internet access. The staff was incredible and the food was good. The hotel could use some updating, the beaches are rocky and you need water shoes or tough feet. There is only one place that you can real snorkel on the island where you can see fish. If you want to see more sea life yo need to go on a boat. I would recommend this resort if you are seeking a rustic vacation with great staff.

Une ile très intimiste (seulement 36 bungalows) et très belle au nord de l'atoll de Malé.
Une cuisine de grande qualité, raffinée et inventive, la meilleur que j'ai mangée aux Maldives.
Un personnel gentil et efficace avec un patron qui parle français !
Des tortues tous les jours à la barrière de corail !
Nous avons passé un séjour délicieux.

Makundu resort is the ultimate gateway place. The island is a small piece of paradise surrounded by blue water and sandy beaches. You can do snorkeling, diving and water sport but if you are looking for some peace and quiet you can just find it in the Beach in front of your room. There are around 30 rooms on the resort so you can get a lot of privacy and quiet in your room area. The restaurant is really good with reach breakfast and set menu dinners (exceptions are Tuesday which is a barbecue night and Friday which is a Maldivian nights, both are buffet). the staff is very friendly and kind. In the evening you can enjoy the bar (average Maldivian resort prices) but also, see shark feeding, stroll around the beach and see the stars. We Had an amazing week and we will definitely come back.

Wir hatten wunderschöne Ferien auf Makunudoo Island. Die Insel ist klein und total naturbelassen. Man kann taeglich Haie sehen, Geckos, Voegel und ganz viele andere Tiere.
Die Bungalows sind sehr sauber gehalten und die Outdoordusche ist wundervoll. Direkt vor dem Bungalow beginnt der schoene Sandstrand. Es ist wie im Maerchen.
Das Fruehstueck ist in Ordnung, bietet nur wenig Auswahl, hingegen das Abendessen ist abwechslungsreich und lecker! Die Angestellten sind sehr freundlich und erfuellen jeden Wunsch. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefuehlt und wersen wieder kommen.
