A Dream Honeymoon in Paradise We spent 10 unforgettable days at Hideaway Maldives Beach Resort & Spa for our honeymoon, and it was absolutely perfect. The resort is the definition of luxury — romantic, peaceful, and beautifully maintained. Our personal butler, Zaryr, was incredible. He made our stay so special by being attentive, professional, and always available to help with anything — from organising excursions to sending us daily updates on activities. His service was faultless. The 24/7 buggy service was quick and convenient, and the staff were always friendly. The food across all restaurants was delicious, with a great variety and stunning settings. We stayed in an overwater ocean villa with an infinity pool — pure paradise. The villa was spotless, spacious, and beautifully designed. The island itself was breathtaking, with crystal-clear water and soft white sand. We enjoyed magical experiences like a private beach dinner, sandbank picnic, dolphin cruises, jet ski tour, floating breakfast, spa treatments, and even a cinema under the stars. The seaplane transfers were smooth and the welcome and farewell from the team were really touching. We made memories that will last a lifetime and truly cannot fault a thing. Highly recommended for a luxurious and unforgettable island escape.

3.0/5 fine

We stayed in hideaway from 22/4/24 till 26/4/24.It’s a little disappointing when you go to a high rating place like this and have the following issues arise: 1.) after all of what happened below, we went to speak to the manager, and he told us to come at 6:30 am before we left to meet with the other manager. However there was no manager on the island at 6:30am 2.) we paid for half board and ended up paying around $7.5 for tap water every time we had a meal when you assume that it’s included for dinner. 3.) left our belongings at the sea activities desk and was told it would be taken care of, after we were done, we came back to find our belongings were taken by other guests. Whilst waiting, they only offered 1 small bottle of water to me and my wife. 4.) rented a jet ski that had mechanical issues. 5.) we wanted an umbrella sun bed, and the worker told us that 4/5 were broken. He then Fixed one with adding a pin that looked as if it was deliberately taken out, and waited as if he was waiting for a tip. 6.) the servers at one of the bars would completely ignore us unless we raised our voices to be heard. 7.) went on a dolphin boat ride and were there were 6 of us. The worker only offered 4 bottles of water. 8.) last day we ordered a low fat latte, and the worker said that they have never had low fat milk after we have been ordering it for 4 days straight. 9.) we were told to get up at 6 am to leave the island at 7 am when our half board package includes breakfast from 7am

Wannabe 5-Star boutique resort

15 mths, 5 Maldives trips, 6 5-star hotels, all happy EXCEPT for Hideaway. I was assured during booking that a seaplane-ride directly to hotel, no long domestic/speedboat trip, or no booking. 3 days before departure, no seaplane info, usually within a wk from booking. Repeatedly called to obtain until 2hrs before flying. In Male, waited in Hideaway/Lily Lounge, "plane is coming", 2hr delay not hotel's fault, but no lunch items offered, usually ample food/drinks from other hotels. Samsara: Salad with avocado, no sign of avocado. US$25 edamame badly cooked and not fresh, London Zuma or Nobu would not dare to price like that. Poor manager tried to redeem situation on our next meals when we complaint. Breakfast: nightmare from noise level, droves of all-inclusive Chinese groups. US$16 for a green coconut, locally grown wild, in Conrad Rangali US$7, Shangri-La US$6. Spa SUBPAR, good therapists but CHEAP and old constructions. Taj Exotica, Conrad and Shangri-la beautiful spas. Rm Service never return to pick-up trays. PRIVATE US$825 dirty dhoni charter was a joke, unsafe upper-deck banister. Snorkeling guide was the ONLY good thing. Sunset Pool Cafe, GREAT professional Indian chef saved a few dinners by making special meals, making up for many things offered but not available, and not taken off the menu. Hotel pen, usually a give-away asking US$20!! Poor Villa Host pushed to "sell". Return transfer was a disaster.
