The room is clean and tidy, with well-equipped, new facilities. It offers great quality for the price. Gaafaru Island is an ideal choice for relaxation and entertainment, with very friendly locals. Tourists can see stingrays and sharks by the shore in the evening. I booked snorkeling and cruise activities through the room host, and the experience was fantastic. The host was warm and welcoming, addressing most of my concerns.

I honestly don’t know where to begin. I have never experienced such genuine kindness and warmth before. The people here are incredibly calm, gentle, and full of heart. It doesn’t feel like staying somewhere, it feels like being part of a family. ❤️ At Niru Isles, you’re not just a guest, you’re welcomed, cared for, and truly seen. Every smile, every small gesture carries so much sincerity and peace that it touches your soul. Even the island’s locals, so open, so kind, so pure-hearted, make you feel surrounded by warmth and authenticity. I left with an indescribably beautiful feeling, filled with gratitude, serenity, and love. This place stays with you, not just in memory, but in your heart. 🌴✨ Jade has been amazing and made the best out of our day trips, even if the sea and weather were rough at times. He took such good care of my son and me. The trips, the transfers to and from Malé, the room, the service, everything was pure perfection! As a single mother traveling with a 9-year-old boy, I never, not for a single second, felt unsafe or uncared for. We travel a lot, but this was by far the best experience we’ve ever had. It’s better than anything any luxury resort could ever offer. Authenticity beats luxury! Hashan, the cook, was incredible, his food was just wow, and he accommodated every single wish we had. You will all be missed so, so much. 💖

After being welcomed at the jetty we received a wet towel, tasty sandwiches and a refreshing drink. The staff was super friendly and we also liked the island, the room and the breakfast. We got water every day and beach towels.

Everything was great! We loved the Kagi resort, we can highly recommend it! Very beautiful reef, great friendly staff, delicious food, interesting excursions. If you want to relax and see the incredible underwater world, this is the perfect place to do it! I would also like to mention the diving center. Tried diving and liked it so much that I took a full course for basic certification (Skuba Diver).

Truly great place, seemed like paradise. The villa by the beach was beautiful. We particularly liked the amazing staff, everyone was so nice and helpful and the great food (I can be a picky eater). I never saw such good and high quality food in an all inclusive hotel.

The reef, the snorkelling - turtle paradise, dolphins off the reef, crystal clear water, excellent staff - polite, helpful, extremely accomodating, the brilliant food/cuisine headed by Maldivian Chef Satheeh, especially the buffet at The Spice, the water villas - private, they provide beach slippers, raincoat, umbrellas, life vest and bag, along with being well designed, environmentally friendly, are all worthy of 5 stars. The best resort of the 10 Maldivian resorts we've been to.

Niru Isles is a lovely guesthouse, ideal for families. Gaafaru is a very chilled small island, with a beautiful bikini beach (though all the coral is dead :(). So in a nutshell: great hotel, although if you are like me very sensitive to noise, tell the manager early on, as with the families, he might have to adjust the rooms etc. M. Hashan is very nice, and in general people on Gaafaru are very amenable with tourists.
