Filitheyo is a beautiful island where you can move around a bit. You walk the sandy paths several times a day, as you always go back to the restaurant... where the food is very curry-heavy and unfortunately offers little for vegetarians. The food was diverse at first glance, but then it was a bit of a pain for us to find something. But: there is always fruit and salads to put together. The bungalow is spacious, we even made use of the TV. There is an English-language channel showing movies and a few pre-installed movies, not all of which are playable. But an option for rainy days. At some point the flush in the bathroom didn't work, there were loose elements on the sink on arrival, at some point we had to take the box apart and call the service staff. A fitter came straight away and repaired it, but probably didn't try to see if it worked. We left it as it was and helped ourselves to other things as we were almost ready to leave.
The mosquitoes on the island and in the room, bathroom and on the terrace were absolutely annoying. Sitting on the latter was no fun, not even with mosquito coils, which we turned on daily without success. We were bitten like crazy. The entire island paths were also sprayed with mosquito poison once a day. Sometimes when we were sitting at a bar in the early evening, the man with the machine came by and sprayed the whole bar. Very unpleasant and smelly. Why this is done during the day is inexplicable to us.
The always begging and hungry cats are also inexplicable to us, especially as someone must have brought the first ones to the island. They only seem to be fed by the tourists. Very sad.

The island of Filitheyo can be warmly recommended. If you are looking for a barefoot island with peace and quiet and a top house reef, you have come to the right place. The island is beautifully overgrown and is almost a "jungle" in places. Simply fantastic!
Despite the age of the hotel complex and the bungalows, the condition can be described as very good. The family bungalows were very nice and well built. Great importance was attached to cleanliness everywhere.

The service was very good and courteous throughout the island. The Maldivian management does a great job! Great importance is attached to environmental protection (own water in glass bottles with swing tops, self-made glass coasters in the bar, no PET bottles anywhere, etc.).

Price/performance with all-inclusive is top! The food at the buffet was varied and did not repeat itself even after 10 days. The quality can be classified as high. All the staff are very friendly and courteous.

Nice quiet hotel, with good food and good service. The standard bungalows are unfortunately double bungalows and quite noisy.

It was a very relaxed diving vacation, very nice little barefoot island. Everything worked out perfectly, but you have to reckon with excess baggage costs for transportation by seaplane if you have diving equipment with you (20 kg including hand luggage).

We didn't dive, we just snorkeled. The fish and the corals were unique. We will give Fabienne some more information in person.

Hoi zäme
So diving was great, especially the house reef. 8 different entry / exit points. Really great!
But the hotel facilities, especially the rooms are in need of renovation! Really come into the years, nothing was done more. We had 3 times for half a day a mechanic in our water villa (2x because of shower water, which flowed directly into the sea! And once 4 wooden floor slats from the terrace had to be replaced because we almost collapsed. Very dangerous! They should have done that before our arrival). Too bad... many guests who have already come 3, 4 times were disappointed and will not book again.
But as I said: diving was great! But the water villa almost an imposition...
Best regards
Carole & Tamara

We felt comfortable from the very beginning.
The staff were all very eager and friendly. We had a lot of fun with the guys even before tipping.
The double bungalows are already somewhat brighthörig, you need luck with the neighbor. Very green island which would always maintained.
We were there in March so high season and yet we never had the impression the island would be crowded.
Food was always sufficient and in good quality selection. If you don't find anything here, it's your own fault. At home there is also in 14 days the one or the other double. Always keep the ball flat.
Topic WLAN a week 120 € outrageous before the cost? One hour 6 €.
There is no WiFi in the whole complex before free. This is not up to date especially at this price level.
I got a SIM card at the airport 17 gigabyte 30€. Had wifi router with it, has been perfectly sufficient for two phones in normal use.

The accommodations are basically neat and clean, but a bit outdated. The water villa is not worth the money. WiFi unfortunately not free but very expensive to book. Approx. 125€/week

Except on the east side, the house reef, around the entire island, is diveable from the beach and very beautiful. Different schools of fish, turtles and also reef sharks are constantly there and can be seen practically on every dive.
The dive sites that are approached by the boats are a cool change, especially in the places where there is current.
For beginners and advanced divers there is always a suitable dive site.
The rooms are great, everything works, the staff is helpful and very friendly and the food is plentiful and varied.
What is a bit strange is the fact that Nitrox is included in the dives, but you only get 1 liter of water per day and person for free.
You have to drink more than one liter of water per day. (1 liter of water = 3.5 $)
At least they produce the drinking water on the island itself and you get it in reusable glass bottles.
All in all, we had 10 wonderful and very relaxing diving and vacation days.

Wi-Fi very expensive, overpriced. 250 $ for 14 days and still weak in quality.
Otherwise very satisfying and relaxing.

The island is small, dive sites were marked in stages from three sides of the island. Merküprdigerweise we could go after a first dive with guide the rest of the time diving alone. This was great, but also not without danger, not recommended for insecure divers. The current changed very fast, in the morning one direction, later in the other. Thus, there were usually only a few options where you can go in to make it out again if the current went in the unplanned direction. We made it to the wreck only twice. Once we had to go up before we got out, because the reef was too far around the bend and we ran out of air. This was a new experience, snorkel should not be forgotten here, we had to swim!!! From when one would have really looked for us???
In principle, however, we liked it, we like to plan our dives and have all already around the 100. As a beginner, I would find it quite daring there.

The island on which the resort was built is beautiful. Gorgeous sandy beach with palm trees down to the water. The entire island is a beautiful and lovingly maintained jungle.
The food and service is without question one of the highlights on Filitheyo. Every day a large selection of mainly Indian dishes with fresh fruits and the buffet leaves nothing to be desired.
However, all-inclusive is recommended, as the prices for drinks and food are very high (Coke/Fanta 0.33 $4, Club Sandwich $17, buffet $40).

The rooms are getting on in years but still ok.
Nice goodies for repeaters, we were in 2005 for the first time on Filitheyo.
Food good but with little pizzazz, for us a little too European, especially the curries were bland, but always a large selection,
partly lack of competence of the receptionist.

Very worn bungalows, but extremely friendly staff and varied, delicious food. Unfortunately, no value is placed on environmental protection and cleanliness. There is plastic garbage everywhere and there are hardly any trash cans. The resort regularly feeds sharks and rays, which we absolutely refuse. On my request before arrival, this was denied.

The resort is first class, the staff very friendly and the bungalows were absolutely top. My favourite: the open air bathroom. When do you ever see flying foxes taking a shower ;)
The resort is designed for adults, which I found very pleasant. Recommended for couples as well as for me as a single traveller!
