Our recent stay at JA Manafaru felt like a slice of paradise, with gorgeous overwater bungalows and some of the best food we've ever tasted. The staff were mostly attentive and friendly, making for a wonderful experience, although the journey to get there and the disconnect between service expectations and actual all-inclusive offerings left a bit to be desired.

My stay at the resort was a dream come true, with breathtaking views and an incredible atmosphere that embodied the essence of paradise. The beach suite was fantastic with private access to the beach and a lovely pool, perfect for unwinding with family. While the service was top-notch, I did find the dining experience quite hit-or-miss, especially with the high prices. Overall, it’s an unforgettable getaway, but prepare your wallet for the food costs.
