Everything was great! It is a very short ride from Malè International Airport, which we loved. The island is small and you have privacy. We really enjoyed that there is kind of semi-private beach in front of every house, and the reefs are very nice for snorkelling. The food was great, and the stuff was amazing. The resort is very small, which on the one hand is very quiet and relaxing, but on the other side in case it's raining continuously, you have limited options on how to spend your time.

We really loved the small and intimate feel of the resort. The staff really went out of their way to create a great experience for all the guests. One of the highlights of this location is their home reef just steps from the beach. They will give you snorkel equipment and if the weather had been nicer when we stayed (during August Monsoon), I could have spent the whole day out there. We did bite the bullet and go out snorkeling when the weather showed no signs of letting up and still saw a lot of sea life, including both a white tip and black tip reef shark. The rooms were very nice and the all-inclusive package was probably one of the best I have seen. We didn't part-take in the alcohol in the room, but it along with the snacks were very well stocked. We booked the jacuzzi room, which could have been a really nice, but the water to fill the jacuzzi was coming out brown. Likely due to rust of the pipes. A sign or something stating what it was might have helped us look past that. Their main restaurant was very nice and had a good selection of foods for our taste. The bar was also wonderful and exceptional service. This is not a couples-only resort and it did appear we were out numbered by families. We have our own children (who stayed with grandma) so this didn't bother us at all, but something to note. We were most impressed with their teams attention and efforts to make our trip fantastic from the moment we landed to the moment they brought us back to the airport.

Everything is absolutely perfect: the hospitality, the service the food, the rooms, the beach, all. only thing stopping me tl give this a perfect 10 is the fact the island ( i assume) wants to be orientated towards family friendly, but it went overboard. It was full of toddlers, a mean i have never seen so many toddlers in one place in any hotel in my life. As the island is very small, you can't have any place to hide from them. It would have been better if they would at least split the island in half: one side family friendly and the other for couples. At least the couples can have some quiet.

Best Island reef in the Maldives

This island is a gem when it comes to marine life; some of the best snorkelling I've ever had worldwide, period, and I snorkelled and scuba dive in a lot of places. Half of the reef is in excellent condition, and for a Maldivian island this is pretty spectacular. This was my 5th time in the Maldives, I first came in 1997, and this is the best island I stayed. No water bungalows, motorized sports, or useless luxuries, absolutely great. this is what a Maldivian island should be. Great Spa, very good beach Bungalows, excellent service, and overall decent food (just a bit repetitive at times). Take your snorkelling gears (or get it on the island free of charge) and you will enjoy Turtles, Black / White tips and Nurse Sharks, sting and eagle rays, and of course all the usual suspects to be found in the Maldives. We stayed in Angsana for 7 days, and didn't even feel the need to scuba dive. Thanks to all the staff, we had a great week, and I can assure you that if I travel back to the Maldives, I will stay at Angsana Ihuru.

We booked 2 villas with whirpools for a 3 night stay for 4 adults and 1 child. The rooms are old and hence a bit worn out and dated. Fairly basic amenities and not certainly 5 star by any standard. The jacuzzi didnt work the first night so we called someone to fix it which they did. It worked for a day and then again broke down.... and this time we just left it alone. The staff are good though and do their best to accommodate you. its a very small resort so there is only one restaurant and a bar and the food choices are fairly limited with just a few types of cuisines. The reef is cool and snorkeling around the reef is great! Other water sports activities are fairly limited . Scuba is only for certified divers and after a couple of days you run out of things to do and also for cuisine choices for food....

Good resort close to Male.

Angsana is an older resort, so the rooms are a bit dated, but they are very clean and everything was still functional. Food is very good and staff are exceptional. A lot of fish on the local reef. Best rooms 38-28 for great sunset view. 1 is next to the restaurant, the garden of 46 has not much privacy and 40 to 46 have less beach in front of the room. WiFi is slow.

Amazing resort. Beach is very quiet and private given the small size of the resort and the fact that each villa has its own beach area. Good activities for free (snorkeling, kayaking, yoga, etc) and also a good assortment of reasonably priced guided activities offered by the resort. Food at the resort and the neighboring Banyan Tree island is very good. Service is outstanding and people really go out of their way to make sure you are happy and well taken care of.
