This place is heaven on earth, it's a complete package of luxury, comfort and world class experience, we cycled, snorkeled, fed the sharks, swam with the ray fish, saw some beautiful corals, played with colourful fishes, clear blue water, mesmerized seeing the sunset and we never wanted to come back, it was a dream holiday in our water villa, pictures don't do justice to this place, highly recommend this resort

The most amazing place I've ever been to.. Not just the beautiful scenery, amazing amenities, and food to meet every taste bud but the staff, hands down, met every desire imagined. My most favorite is Razzan. He remembered things and set up events for my group. He gave me an entirely different expectation of guest services.. I can't praise him enough for how special he made us feel during our visit. I can honestly say, we will be back very soon. Thank you for everything Razzan!

One of the magical place on earth. Amazing place curious staff, good food and good indoor facilities. Outdoor activities are also available and wonderful however just that they are costly.

I recently had been there. Its a great place. I visit this place with my husband and 20 months old daughter.Here I would like to tell something
1. Resort is very big and having almost 260 rooms( including water villa)
2. Staff is very nice, polite,friendly and helpful.
3.Resort have its water sports center where they have Canoeing,seabob,caterman sailing, scooba, snorkeling etc.
4. Personally I find the price for watersports very high.eg. for scooba you need to spend 195$ per person.
5. They have great spa centre too which is quite reasonable.
6.They dont have baby sitter so couples going with kids can not do the activities together.
7 . They have a cycle on rent system too so that you can roam everywhere on the inland.
8. Beach bungalow are large spacious.
9. Water villa are very beautiful and quite a great experience.
10. Food is ok ok. Must go for half board.
11. Pizza from italian restaurant is very delicious . They prepare every pizza in medium size.
12 every evening they have shark feetand stringray feeding.
13 they accept payment only in $.
14. Must carry lots of $ to enjoy the fullest.

Its a wonderful place to stay.

Its a wonderful place to stay.
Superior beach bunglows are good and are relatively budget friendly.
But one must stay at least a night at water villas.
Its a lifetime experience.

Watersports are amazing. Must try is Scuba diving, parasailing.
One should preferebly schedule water sports during their beach bunglow stay.

If you know the swimming, you should carry snorkeling kit with you which is available at decathlon stores at quiet cheaper prices.
You can just jump from water villa and enjoy the wonderful fishes. Its better to carry a go pro camera along with its waterproof cover to record underwater videos.

Food is awesome.
Indian tourist will definitely love the food at all the restaurants in the resorts.
They do serve good desserts as well.

Wonderful place even if compared to the other islands it lacks coral reefs .. very kind staff. Convenient because with 15 20 minutes you're bad a nice spa engaging evening entertainment naturally all inclusive is worth eating good
I recommend it to everybody

Beautiful Island. Good option for Indians as they have separate Indian food counter & Vegetarian food options. Little bit high priced maybe due to it's popularity. Water Villa's & Beach Houses are available. Prior bookings suggested as they charge very high at the reception. Indian Rupees not accepted here, please carry US Dollars. Easy WiFi access available across the Island. Still if You want to buy a Sim, You must buy at Male Airport only.

For a 100 dollar per pax Day trip, Only lunch buffet is worth, they provide snorkeling gears for free tats it all other water sports are chargeable, Its worth if yu stay one night but bit costly Minimum 550dollars for 2persons, the Island is really beautiful though

Loved the resort.if you planning trip to maldives its a perfect resort to choose but please try to plan your trip not more than 3 days because its located in secluded island so nothing much to explore.

The area are almost stunning. Food is very tasty and the selection too. The water villas, probably not worth the price. All inclusive, is not including everything, like not any alcohol in your room and extras for a lot of things. Also seafood restaurant is not part of all inclusive. Good tip, bring your favourite from taxfree to your cottage.

Blissful location. Calm, serene and everything you look for in a beach resort. Food menu was the same almost everyday. Italian restaurant at the resort had tasty options. Not many activities at the resort and water sports are expensive, however ideal place for relaxing.

It's the most amazing resort I've been to date. After thoroughly researching and planning, we agreed on Paradise and upon arriving we knew we'd made the right choice. Water was blue, staff were friendly and food was AMAZING. We stayed at the Haven Villa with the Jacuzzi which was the best ever. I can go on and on but Paradise Island will blow your mind

Superb destination for experiencing value for money luxury. The resort has all facilities to make the vacation memorable. Be it accomodation, food, sports activities, hospitality.... Everything was just wow. We stayed in beach villa for 3 days and water villa for 1 day. Both types of villas have its own experience. I would recommend to try both the villas. I personally loved beach villa more. The cuisine was highly diverse. My wife s a vegan. We were apprehensive of vegeterian food choices. But resort didn't disappoint us. For those apprehensive of lack of Indian food choices, there are plenty of them. But I would recommend to try other cuisines. Food is delicious. A number of Water sports are available. We tried Scuba diving and jet skiing.
Really amazing experience. Looking forward to revisit the place.

Resort is top class with all amenities. The restaurants are perfect .
I stayed for 5 days , in superior beach bungalow and water villa , had a great time in both the places. Rooms are spacious , room service is prompt. Staff is awesome and very polite .

The beaches and natural beauty is beyond words.

They have excursions - scuba , male city tour , submarine etc.
They have spa with different packages and is worth trying. Spa charges here starts from 85$ per person.
Pizza from Italian restaurant shall cost ( starts from) 15$ veg pizza
Beer 4$ for can and 6$ tiger(Sri Lankan beer ) draught mug.you will get heniken , Budweiser too.
Cocktails is for 10$ and paradise lagoon was our fav.
They will provide 1.5liters of water per day per person which is enough as they provide water with food too.

I would love to visit this place again.

Staff were great, they recognised us after 3 years after our first visit. Hostesses at the restaurant remember our names after the first encounter. Great to be acknowlege by our names everytime we stepped into the restaurant to take our meals.
But food on the buffet spread need to be improved, taste and varieties.

The beach is white sand and the sea is azure blue. It really is most gorgeous. We stayed in a beach bungalow which was very spacious and had free WiFi. You have your own sunbeds allocated to the room. Finding a spare one on another bit of beach is a problem though. Our room was 50m from the waters edge and the beach is well shaded with palms.

Avoid rooms 170-243 as the beach is not good here, also rooms 140-169 as you will have the constant noise of the generator here. The rooms on stilts look nice but are quite a lot dearer.

The snorkelling is superb right from the beaches and they do trips to another island for $43 per head. You don't see much more!

There is squash, tennis, billiards and table tennis.

Now I come to the problems...but don't let it detract from the beauty of the sea and beach.
We were All Inclusive but if you are used to AI in the caribbean or elsewhere this is not run on quite the same lines.
They charge $12 a day for snorkel and flippers. I am used to it being included.
Similarly they charge a fair wack for water sports. Yes motorised ones are usually are charged for but here all are charged for.
When you order a drink in the bar or restaurant you have to sign a bill each time. It is $0 as All Inclusive but why? It is seriously annoying and time consuming waiting for a bill to be delivered. What is the point of the wrist band I ask?
The restaurant has a good choice of at least 6 curries every day and varied rice dishes but only one western meal choice. Why? 50% of the visitors are western!!! The food is often luke warm at best.
They serve odd choices of food. Of course curry is available for every meal, no thank you. But they had steak medallions in pepper sauce, nice, but for breakfast?
They don't keep the cheese in chilled cabinets so it gets rather sweaty.
There is beef bacon, chicken bacon but no pork bacon. Well it is a Muslim country....But you can get ham as a pizza topping if you order one. How odd.
There are other restaurants to the main buffet though I have to wonder at their pricing structure. We are All Inclusive but have the "opportunity" to try other restaurants at a supplement of $150. Oh, less 15% as we are not using the buffet. This seems a bit high to me as it does to most others as the restaurants rarely have more than 2 people in them, but the buffet is busy. I can't help but think that if prices were a bit lower more people would use them and a bigger margin would be achieved.
They allow smoking around the pool and real glass glasses.
The bar needs a serious shake up. There are plenty of waiters but they don't seem to have territories so we might place an order with one and in the 15-20 minute wait for a drink be asked another 3 times by different waiters if we wanted a drink. The people pouring the drinks can't keep up and it was not even busy. Again the wait and signing of the bills was annoying.
There is only one bar in the evening so if you want a quiet drink once the music starts forget it...

I had high expectations, but Paradise Island was even better than I had hoped it would be. From the moment you arrive, the service is excellent. Nish from reception helped us plan our whole stay. We were able to check into our room early and were also given a bottle of champagne and a cake at dinner on my husband's birthday. We opted for the haven villa and loved the jacuzzi and steps to the ocean. We saw sharks, fish and stingrays in the water daily. The scuba diving center was also great and the instructor explained everything so well. We really enjoyed snorkeling too, but I would advise you bring your own snorkeling gear because the equipment from the aqua shop wasn't the best. Since we had paid for the snorkeling adventure and went out on a boat to other sites, the instructor had extra gear that he lent us. I really appreciated how prepared they were with extra gear. It was truly the dream vacation I always hoped for!

We loved it, very HAMBLE ... divine place..I'm from Argentina ... very good he has 4 singers ,, the girl who does Danish Arabs ,, and the duo very good .. congratulations .., very good to give food sharks and blankets ,,

Heaven ! The people are very friendly. The buffets offer a wide range of dishes from starters to dishes, cheese and desserts. No need to take the all inclusive. Full board is more than enough. Fresh water at will during meals and in the room two bottles of water available each day. The excursions are well organized but a little expensive for my taste. I highly recommend massages that are just wonderful.

We had a very good experience of Your resort , everything was perfect ,programs were very entertaining ,we enjoyed every facility ,food was just awesome . Only complain is ,you get around 80 % of tourism through lndia but still its Flag is not in any of the rows in your bar area.This made me sad ,kindly acknowledge this.

booked a beach bungalow. as soon as we arrived we were assigned room 169, the last one at the end of the village with the island generator behind it (noise and smell of diesel oil 24 / h per day) obviously we asked for another accommodation paying a difference of 1700 dollars they assigned us a toilet villa
impossible to stay out on the veranda from the wind in addition to the poor maintenance of the outdoor sofas tub chairs and tables we never sat on the outdoor sofa reason for cleaning.
poor cleaning in the room.
the quality of the food is subjective the only thing is the lack of fish on the menu
in short, an experience not to be repeated
BAD value for money

Well maintained... Many outdoor sports activities as well as water sports activity. Shell feeding and stingray feeding every eve along with some entertaining shows in Eve.
Stay is water villa is a must try and experience thing.

It truly is a paradise. All around the island are alive colorful corals and lot of marine life (friendly sharks, rays, turtles). But you can easily swim if you prefer (unlike in other islands where the reef is too shallow with no way to get into deep enough water to swim). The food is tasty and varied and even during pandemic you can have a buffet. Every day they do stingray and shark feeding which is a must to see. You can also hire a bike to get around the island more quickly. We were also lucky enough to see magical bioluminescence plankton after a storm.

We have been here for 3 night,everything was good ,the last day we asked because of the covid if there any thing that we need to do before leaving they said no,so we left at 5 am toward the airport to leave maldives we where surprised that they asked for the negative test,we said we don't have it we asked the hotel and they confirmed that we don't need anything,we asked the ministry of tourism to help us,they didn't we called the police we called the paradise hotel ,nothing we have been abandoned for 7 hours,no money ,no food,we spent all the money that we had, no one helped us,we went to the office of the ministry of tourism to complain,they said by law the hotel shouldn't let you go to the airport without negative PCR ,i am taking this to the end to see how this hotel said he is not responsible,

Awesome

This was the dream destination for my family.

Very beautiful resort with good Indian Food. The rooms are good in condition but since it is near beach there are many lizards in the room. The water sports cost you from around 50$ to 500$. The water villas are a must visit place. The staff is good. You need to book your slot for water sports one day prior.

Amazing just wow

It's a heaven on earth... Really a paradise... The hospitality, the place and Nature all are exquisite... The reason for 4 star is being a vegetarian food was not upto the mark, ofcource not blaming them for the Maldives situation like the food has to be imported etc...

A few years ago we were at this resort for the first time and it was already wonderful. Even now, a few years later, it's still just fantastic.
In just under 30 minutes you can reach the island by speedboat and land directly in paradise and we were warmly welcomed.
The staff are very accommodating and very friendly too. We felt at home ... especially in these difficult times, we of course always paid close attention to all regulations regarding hygiene and distance. We felt safe and in good hands at all times.
The resort as such is very nicely done, neat and clean. The water villas are just awesome. You can swim or snorkel directly from the apartment into the water. The underwater world is incredibly diverse and you simply have to see it. In addition to many colorful fish, we were also able to observe various rays and sharks up close! WOW
The rooms are well furnished, so you just have to feel good!
There is also no shortage of water sports activities. This time we tried the Seebob and went kayaking for a round. Both are very recommendable.
The food in the restaurant was very good and varied. Always try everything, because it tastes good!
I can only warmly recommend a vacation on Paradise Island. We had such a very nice and relaxing time ... it is really just heavenly

It was a wonderful experience living in the Paradise Island Resort & Spa. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The bungalow was well furnished with high level of cleanliness. Pool was extremely beautiful and I loved the activities in the Hulhangu bar. Hats off to Muhammad ( Beebo) and his partners for organising such exciting events. Moreover, the beach and the water villas were super gorgeous. Food was of good quality and taste.
Would love to visit again!!

Perhaps the best place in the world to spend your Honeymoon. You'll enjoy this place only if you want to do one of these two things : need to spend quality time with your better half with absolutely no travel or you are complete water baby and live being around water the entire day.
Paradise Island is definitely one of the more affordable options amongst all other properties in Maldives. The water is crystal clear... I mean you can look upto 7-8 meters to the depth of the ocean bed without a problem. The resort itself is amazing especially the water villa, don't miss it for anything.
Definitely recommended!!!
