The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives

S manželkou jsme se zamilovali do Malediv hned při naší první návštěvě v roce 2022 a začali objevovat kouzlo jednotlivých resortů, každý byl jiný, svým způsobem originální, prostředím, přístupem, jídlem i ubytováním. Vždy jsme zkoušeli jiný resort a hledali ten pro nás nejlepší… až jsme se rozhodli vrátit zpět na Standard Huruvalhi, místo, které nejvíce vyhovovalo našim potřebám… krásné ubytování ve vodní vilce, kde kolem plavou hejna ryb, manty i rejnoci, malí i velcí žraloci (jenom ty želvy se nám letos schovali), výborné jídlo v hlavní restauraci (i v těch “vedlejších”), zvlášť dezerty byly vynikající a zejména pak lidé, kteří se o vás starají, nemůžu jmenovat všechny, tak alespoň ti nejúžasnější… hned v úvodu se nás ujala Eva, energická, vždy usměvavá, se vším pomohla, vše zařídila a nikdy nezapomenu na její … “ja vás miluji”, to musí odzbrojit každého, my ji milovali také 😍… pak tu byla Ayu, z restaurace Kula, našla ten nejlepší stůl, vždy si pamatovala co pijeme a stačilo se zmínit že máme rádi hovězí maso a druhý den jsme dostali ten nejlepší t-bone steak co existuje 😁, no prostě úžasná manažerka směny … a nakonec Shakh, ten nejlepší číšník ze všech, na obědech v hlavní restauraci, na večeřích v restauraci Onda, ten se o nás vždy skvěle staral, rádi jsme si s nim povídali a vždy se rádi zase vraceli… a co závěrem… Standard je místo, kam se chcete a budete vracet, protože je tam vše, co od dovolené čekáte… brzy nashledanou .

The Standard is a very special place. It's like paradise on steroids!! From the moment we arrived we received amazing attention. Their app was a convenient way to access staff. We asked for a pink inner tube to enjoy in our personal room pool. It arrived in less then 20 minutes! We asked for more towels. Delivered fast! We needed dinner reservation. Yoseph contacted us with place and time at Onda. Front row table nearest to the water with sunset views. We initially felt like we were the White Lotus Series. The Standard is beautiful. Lots of pool side lounge chairs with umbrellas. The sand is a white soft powder. The views beyond beautiful. An incredible array of mesmerizing blues. Food is good. Nice variety of items. Breakfast and dinner buffets AMAZING! Each night there is a special event. One night was the manager having a cocktail party. Drinks and appetizers were served as the manager warmly welcomed all of us. At that moment we became family. One night was music/movie trivia night. So fun! A very energetic DJ/Host got everyone involved with dancing and singing. Our last night was movie night. Big white screen was set up on the beach. Chairs in place. You sit down and a headset is brought to you, along with a bowl of popcorn. So fun! Every staff member was warm and friendly. We stayed 4 nights. We saw familiar faces every day. Always welcoming and pleased to serve any of our needs. When we wanted to add a meal plan, the manager personally assisted us. The best ambassador for The Standard was Yoseph. Always smiling and personable. We saw him a couple of times each day. He would literally find us all over the propeety to check and see if were ok. He was like this with everyone. So warm and friendly. Leaving The Standard was like leaving your favorite relatives house. A little sad. We will return to The Standard Maldives again. Definitely highly recommend. Come to relax. To smile. To see beauty and people like no where else. Thank you for such a wonderful vacation in paradise on steroids.

Truely lovely place. From the moment we arrived the staff could not do enough to ensure we had a great stay from the lounge at the sea plane terminal to the hotel. We had a beach bungalow with plunge pool which was amazing. It opens up to your own section of beach - we opted for the lagoon side which had the best view of baby island. Staff to mention are Si in the BBQ restaurant and Shack in the Onda restaurant and Bilau behind the bar around the pool area who where all fabulous. This is the third island we have visited and by far the best. There are golf style buggies around which you can hitch a ride on or book and there are bikes everywhere for you use. The island really isn't that big though which was part of the appeal. We got the sea plane transfer in when we booked, plus a free boat trip, use of snorkels and life jackets and an hour free a day of non motorised water sports. There is a gym, kids club and a tennis court you can use which we did not utilise plus we each got 45 min massage free as part of the booking. The food was so good in all the restaurants including the Buffet , you do need to book at busy times but we would guess the hotel was only half full for the time we stayed. Such a great stay - I would recommend going All Inclusive as the individual costs of everything is quite high if you were to do room only.

We had a lovely stay at the Standard and really enjoyed the beauty of Maldives ✨ An extra special thank you goes to Eva, who was an absolute rockstar, and made sure each and every one of our questions, concerns and wishes was answered. She is wonderful. The rest of the staff here is amazing too, special shoutout to the chef who was most often behind the Omelette Station, as well as one of the servers who was helping us at the BBQ Shack, lovely people. Thank you and we hope to come back!

We had a truly wonderful stay at The Standard, Maldives. Our host, Shamaau, was excellent throughout our stay. He was very attentive and communicative, always making sure we had everything we needed. He would often catch up with us around the island for a chat, and his passion for the Maldives really shows in his work, especially when talking about the local flora and fauna. He also made sure we were in the perfect spot to witness an epic Maldivian sunset, which was a lovely touch. We also received great service throughout our stay from Saikumar at Todis, Sai during breakfast and at Guduguda, and Shak at Onda. Shak always had great meal recommendations and even pointed us towards the best place on the island to watch the sunrise. The food and drinks, the overwater villa, the reefs and, above all, the staff made this a genuinely memorable holiday. Everyone we met was warm and welcoming, and the whole experience felt very special. We would absolutely recommend The Standard, Maldives and would happily return.
