How guests scored the stay

  • Service10.0

    Strongly positive personal service noted (e.g., 'butler Tina was amazing', staff repeatedly praised), though one review criticizes management/leadership—overall guest-facing service is described as excellent.

  • Location10.0

    Location/island explicitly praised in several reviews ('Остров', 'location'); consistently described as a highlight.

  • Overall Experience10.0

    Split experiences: many guests say 'absolutely everything' was wonderful and unforgettable, while others felt misled/overcharged. Aggregate impression across reviews is strongly positive.

  • Amenities9.9

    Amenities are frequently praised (restaurants, facilities), though some guests cite additional charges for certain services/transport; generally described as high quality.

  • Food and Beverage9.9

    Food is frequently listed as a pro (Еда, breakfast, restaurants) though a few reviews describe food as mediocre and mention unexpected charges for menu items; overall sentiment skews positive with some pricing/meal-plan caveats.

  • Room Quality9.5

    Rooms mentioned positively by guests (comfort and presentation praised), no major structural complaints beyond cleanliness concerns in one review.

  • Cleanliness9.3

    Mixed signals: one detailed review reports cockroaches and poor maintenance in villa/common areas, but multiple other guests praised the property generally; isolated pest incidents reported but many guests experienced a clean environment.

  • Value for Money9.0

    Several strong complaints about pricing, hidden fees, restrictive/full-board charges and expensive transfers; despite these issues, other guests felt the overall offering justified a high score—rating reflects reported pricing concerns while aligning with overall guest praise.

    “Everything is wonderful. Our butler Mira always helps us promptly and allows us to enjoy this journey to the fullest. The housekeeper is also kind and helpful, bringing me a band-aid quickly, and always keeping the room tidy and lovely. The artist from Coconut Club is also kind and passionate, we enjoyed the handcrafting so much. For Merana, we enjoyed the couple’s escape massage and it was extraordinary, possibly the best massage I’ve ever had. For Splash, we enjoyed the scuba diving and snorkeling so much, the marine life in Baa atoll is stunning; the coaches and crew are also kind and helpful, and this experience would be another reason for us to come back to Vakkaru. We also enjoyed the tree house destination dining, the lobster menu was awesome and the atmosphere was memorable. I’m very glad I chose a destination dining experience during the stay. We would definitely be willing to come back to Vakkaru. This is an experience I wish to have more than just once.”

    “Kahvaltı yeri iyi bir konumda. Açık büfe olması, ürün çeşitliliği oldukça fazla. Restaurant sayısının fazla olması ve değişik mutfaklardan oluşmasını sevdik. Barlar konum ve hizmet bakımından oldukça iyi. SPA hizmetlerinden memnun kaldık. İnişimizden dönüşümüze kadar transferler ve rahatlığımız bakımından çok özen gösterilmiş olması. Özellikle tatilimiz boyunca yanımızdan hiç ayrılmayan ve tüm ihtiyaçlarımıza çözüm üreten asistanımız "ADİL" mükemmeldi.”
