Lankanfinolhu Paradise Island Resort & Spa

The Hotel is fantastic and the view cannot be explained and should be experienced.Paradise is one of the best hotels with a short distance from the city and with a less cost for the speed boat transfer of $104.However, there are hotels far away from the city which has unbelievable views and environment, however it's very expensive to transfer to those islands.Paradise is one of the best, close to the city and what's in the photographs are actually the same and it has that nice view.The food is too expensive though inside the hotel.

We were told that our booking for the hotel come with wifi but when we are there, the hotel staff told us there wifi is chargeable. Even in public area, there is no free wifi, very disappointed.

Stayed 4 nights in a water villa in Jan 2015. Room: Stunning sea views and direct access to lagoon from verandah. Beach/lagoon: However lagoon is full of dead corals. If you like smooth sand, this is NOT for you. Food: Can't complain about breakfast, as it is included in the package and there is quite a wide selection of food. However if you are not on full or half board package, dining a la carte anywhere within the resort is extremely expensive - note everything is priced in US dollars. Add to that 10% service charge and 12% government tax! Amenities: Everything is chargeable - including gym, pool table, tennis court - which is RIDICULOUS. The only thing that is free is swimming in the sea (duh). Service: Not particulary bad as staff are generally friendly, but not excellent either. Pros: Near to airport, only 15-20 minutes by speedboat. Shark feeding show at 630pm daily. Overall: An average resort. Considering the amount of money spent, the service and experience is mediocre. Better to go other resorts in Maldives. There are plenty of other competitors providing better experience at a lower price.

It wasn't a good experience. The staff was not helpful. For scuba diving we had to go to dive center, clinic and reception so many times and still i wasn't able to do it, because doctor was not available. At last we had to drop it and leave the island without any water excursion. Our trip was highly disappointing.

The location of hotel is great. Staff is helpful and service is good. Food is good provides a lot of variety.
