Kihaa Maldives in Baa Atoll

I would never recommend anyone to book this hotel, they are scammers they put the hotel price cheaper and then you will be given with the bill of USD 800 for flight when you arrive and once you pay that only you will be allowed to go into your room.

Also the meals are terrible everyday same meal and there is no other activities to do during stay. This is not a 5 star hotel can be are 3 star or even low.

What is heard was this was used to be a top 20 hotels in Maldives before 2 years now it’s terrible.
If you plan to book think twice.

Never before I wrote negative review but after this visit I must do it! It is not our first time in Maldives resort, but this what we saw in Kiha 5star is really terrible!!! Do not go there if you dont want lost your time and money! All review with 1 star are true… terrible food, ( rat in dinning room) terrible bar offer( we payed for all inclusive gold…it means include alcohol and soft drink) wine, beer was not in bar all time of our vist…one day was vodka, next day just whisky, gin… everything missing! See and underwater life is nice. But in island are too much mosquitos, that you can not relax on the beach! You still have to kill mosquitoes, which leave painful bites. In mattresses was some isect, which leave painfull bites too…. The employees are fed up with so many complaints and the guests are desperate because even after several emergencies at the reception, nothing has changed. Everybody are in this place unhappy and atmoshere is terrible! We were soooo happy if we can go home! You can see photo of my son bites from mosquitos and housband bites from bed.

Im so sorry that finally we reached our dream destination, but we choose the wrong hotel to stay. It is maximum a 3* hotel with very out-dated rooms and facilities, the food was just simply horrible and its a shame that they provide this to high quality guests. On the whole island there were no wine and beer during our 1 week stay, fruit was just uneatable, boring low quality breakfast, untasty dinners, really just simply unaffordable for european standards. 1 week was not enough to prepare the safety box in our roon. Drainage and bad smell in bathroom, mudy aircon, very low-maintained areas. Once it could be a glamurous hotel, but theese days just struggling with demotivated, missinformed staff. However waiters was very friendly, thats to only point I can give connected to the hotel.
Last but not least Maldives itself, the white sand and blue water and spakling under-sea life is breathtaking, therefore it is even a bigger dissapoint to stay in a hotel wich is not harmonised with the surrounding.

The room was not cleaned for three days, there was no food in the restaurant, the waiter had a bad attitude, it was a very disgusting experience, a very bad hotel

Kihaa Maldives ruined my honeymoon. This was our 5th visit to Maldives and this resort changed my perspective about Maldives.

This place has a list of cons which i would not be able to list down here, but here are a few:
1. The buffet spread is beyond horrible. You will get the same set of items like - oats, omlette, salad without any sauces for breakfast. The same tuna and chicken grill for lunch and dinner. Even our honeymoon special dinner hosted by the sea had the same tuna grill and chicken grill just that it was presented marginally better. To be precise each lunch / dinner has the same structure without any difference in taste - sauted veggies, roasted potatoes, some Indian curry which is tasteless, grilled tuna with a basic butter sauce, grilled chicken, a beef / lamb curry which is again very ordinary, steamed rice and some tasteless pasta / noodles. The salad section has the leftover lettuce as the only salad item. No selection of cheese / sauces. The dessert section has 4 items which is repeated almost daily.
2. The resort is literally in ruins, you can see the water villa literally getting submerged in the sea. There are no lights in the passage, water flow in the washroom is low, they dont give you laundry bag / slippers.
3. The waterlife is also average with zero efforts on restoring the corals. Even the snorkeling experience was upsetting.
4. The bar literally has no stock at all. They even tell you to upgrade to All Inclusive at the time of chevkin by paying 120$ per night per person only to get upset later.

The only good thing about the resort is the staff. They gave us a room upgrade out of sympathy. They went out of the way to ensure the stay is manageable despite all the mentioned cons. The 1 star i am providing is only because of the staff who are struggling to get out of the resort. Kihaa is one of the three resorts blacklisted in Maldives.

The 5 night stay here felt like a jail experience where we could not even leave the place since this is super far from Male and boat / sea plane is super expensive. They also make sure you pay the sea plane fee right at the time of check in so that the guests cannot run away.

The staff looks at you empathically seeing that you have lost your money for this disappointing vacation.

Please dont believe their youtube and instagram videos, everything is misleading.

This hotel is horrible!!!! Not even 2 starts worth!!!! Without any explanation I will upload some pictures so you can assess it and take decision. On pictures look good, and it was good years ogo, but now apparently this hotel is under sale so no one cares about it!!
