Hilton Iru Fushi Maldives room tour -- King Water Villa

Lots of info in the full description, so click it to see: Here's a room tour of a King Water Villa at the Hilton Maldives / Iru Fushi Resort & Spa, soon after check in. Built just over two years ago (2008), the hotel was originally built by an independent investor as the Iru Fushi Resort, but the economy led it to be leased to the Hilton group (which also has a Waldorf Astoria and Conrad property in the Maldives). Like all major Maldives resorts, this is located on its own island and has two rows of these "water villas" in addition to the beach rooms and is located in the Noonu Atoll, about a 40 minute seaplane flight from Male (you are required to use the very expensive seaplane).

If you want my honest opinion: you have to take into account that, once you factor the very high price of food and beverages and the mandatory flights, the per-night cost here is roughly $1000 per night. For that price, I'd give the room a 9/10 but the resort is only 7/10. The food quality isn't as good as the prices, and the service was good but uneven. For that price (which makes a guest rightfully picky) I expect the same or better service than what I've seen at places like the Encore Las Vegas, and that really wasn't the case here. The snorkeling, however, was as awesome as you'd imagine!

I hope this helps you make a decision on where to stay, see what's available, or just provides entertainment!

we're going there for our honeymoon yay! thou the TV looks really small..

[Bobaklives]

@cc428 It is a bit, relative to the extravagance of the room, but you really aren't going for the TV I suppose (yet I admit we did watch a bit on one of the evenings we stayed in --this was while all the street revolts were happening in Egypt).

[javsrock52]

[Bobaklives]

@javsrock52 Yes, saw plenty of families. There are also multi-bedroom water villas.

@HDscreenerX 3 weeks might be a bit extreme! Not only are we talking close to a grand a night, but you're stuck with whatever's available at that particular resort and could get bored. With that said, they have free snorkeling, diving, kayaking, excursions to nearby Maldivian towns, tennis, badminton, a half-dozen restaurants, two pools, bars, evening activities, fishing, cooking class, and a few more things. Prices on food can get up there, though due to their monopoly.
