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 .

This was our first trip to the Maldives, and we felt looked after from the moment we arrived. We got to the resort early in the morning, well before check-in. Eva was so welcoming and arranged a temporary room for us to freshen up and rest after the long journey. We really appreciated that. We tried Kula, BBQ Shak, Guduguda and Onda, and the service was great at all of them. Onda was our favourite though. It was quiet, had a lovely atmosphere, and we really enjoyed the food. A special thank you to Shak at Onda. When we mentioned that the following night would be our last evening on the island, he arranged a lovely table for our final dinner. The chef and kitchen team also surprised us with a special dessert. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made the evening even more memorable. Thanks to Eva, Shak, the chef and everyone at the resort for making our first Maldives holiday so special.

Such an amazing resort with incredible staff. Everyone was kind and welcoming and happy for a chat - we loved hearing where everyone was from - India, Morocco, Indonesia, Zimbabwe! Eva was amazing - she booked everything for us - thank you!! Kids club was fantastic - our 9yo had a fab time - thank you Riddhi, Lama, Marina and Shammi!!! I had a fabulous massage - I am so sorry I forgot his name but he is also the yoga teacher! I would love to come back one day - the fishing trip and snorkel trip were also stand outs as was the dolphin cruise! Thank you for such a wonderful holiday!!!

The Standard is a beautiful island with an amazing atmosphere. I’m so happy that The Standard was my first experience in the Maldives. All the staff on the island are incredibly nice and friendly, and they always say hi whenever they pass by. A special shout-out to our host, Fiona. She is incredibly attentive, warm, and professional. She went above and beyond to help us with all our needs and promptly solved any questions or issues we had. We truly appreciated her hospitality and care, which made our stay even more wonderful.

From the moment we stepped onto the island, we knew we were somewhere special. Zianu welcomed us so warmly right from the start, seamlessly sorting out our restaurant bookings and setting the perfect tone for our entire holiday. Thank you Zianu! The cuisine across the resort is absolutely truly spectacular, Oh my days levels of delicious! We had the absolute pleasure of meeting the culinary masterminds behind the food: Chef Ashish at ONDA and Chef Rajhi at BBQ Shack. They possess extraordinary talent and are just the loveliest people to chat with. The staff here are next-level, and we genuinely miss seeing these wonderful faces every single day!! Shaka (ONDA Restaurant) is an absolutely lovely human being with incredible customer service. On my birthday I was completely overwhelmed by the effort the team went to. Shaka had a table ready for me with "Happy Birthday" beautifully written out in coffee beans! I couldn't believe he took the time to do that. He made it my most memorable birthday celebration ever. The Todis Bar Team (Inaz, Dorah, Billal, and Saikumar) just absolute superstars! They brought such amazing energy to our days, making us feel so welcome and looked after every time we dropped by. Humja mixed us the most amazing cocktails on the island and consistently went out of his way to make us feel incredibly special. Sai, we first met him at Kula and gladly followed him over to the BBQ Shack! We loved our daily interactions with him, especially chatting about cricket, his love for King Kohli, and of course, Ricky Ponting. He constantly ensured we had everything we needed and recommended the most fabulous dishes on the menu. Thank you to Rubel (Housekeeping) you kept our room absolutely pristine and added such a wonderful, thoughtful touch to our daily island experience. Eumi, you truly touched my heart with your genuine kindness, warmth, and hospitality. I hope you enjoyed your break with your family. Thank you again to the entire team at The Standard for a beautiful, heart-warming stay. We cannot recommend this paradise enough!
