We were happy that our first Maldives resort was Vakkaru. The villas that felt like the Maldives was very good, and I stayed in two types, Beach Villa and Waterpool Villa, and both were good. Our butler Suzzane was very kind and delicate, so I was grateful for taking care of us. Many employees took care of our honeymoon to remember. Azzam, which has always been welcomed, His sociable personality and humor makes us feel good. The staff took a lot of pictures to leave good memories of the trip. Among them, Ahoo took a lot of special photos. Rijal is always friendly. Thanks to this, We're able to have a pleasant meal and have a good time. While I was in Vakkaru, I was happy to have a good time thanks to many employees. I hope to see you again next time. The food at the restaurant was delicious and there was a lot to do, so it was fun. 익스커션 강요가 좀 있는 것 같아서 아쉬웠다ㅠㅠ Read less

J’adore Vakkaru~ 特别喜欢这个岛，很舒服，人不算多，沙屋水屋都非常漂亮，架子床和整体房间布置让人感到温暖和惬意，我们住的是164和204，都是带泳池的，非常推荐。有机会会再来～ Read less
