We have just returned home from the platinum island for the second time in two years. Hakuraa Huraa is a magical place, and our holiday was even better this time round! We received such a warm welcome from everyone and were treated like royalty throughout our trip. We saw some familiar faces and they greeted us like we were old friends, it was so nice to be remembered. Making friends here is so easy, we met so many amazing people, Paul and Julie, Paul and Donna, Juergen and Roja and their two lovely friends. Before our visit, I was in contact via email with Ricardo who is the assistant bar and restaurant manager for both islands, to arrange our crab restaurant meals. He was so accommodating and arranged everything for us. On our first night he even came to the restaurant and introduced himself, had a long chat and said that if we needed anything during our stay to just ask him and he would sort it. What a genuine man, very professional but with the personal touch. I will be very interested to see where your career takes you in the future because I’m sure you will be the best in your field! Because Ricardo was having a day off on our last day, he asked the bar and restaurant manager Lalaji to come and see us at the crab restaurant on our last night to ensure that everything was ok for us. Thank-you so much Ricardo and Lalaji for your thoughtfulness and amazing service. The food was amazing with so much choice every day that you were never going to go hungry! Big shout out to our restaurant staff, Hannan, Dhaain, Riyaz and Keerthi for their amazing service and attentiveness to our every need, to our chefs Kalum and Mohan, fantastic service and amazing food and to our barman Menaka, who always greeted us with a big smile. Whilst we were there, we visited the Mandara spa on 4 occasions and had a different massage each time, which were all amazing. Massive thanks to the hard-working ladies at the Spa, who were lovely, and very respectful at all times, Willy, Priti, Yeni, Purina and Dinda, you should all be very proud of your skills and the service you provide. We ate at the Crab restaurant three times during our stay as we were celebrating two birthdays and our engagement. The 4-course menu is amazing, and our plates were clean by the end of each visit. Rumesh was the perfect host, he was warming and friendly and nothing was to much trouble, so Thank-you. Nilantha, what a chef and totally nice guy you are, your food was out of this world. It was really good to see you both again. Our room boys, Hummaid and Ali, always ensured a clean room which was well stocked with soft drinks, beer and toiletries. Your bed decorations were the best! I’m sorry to talk so much about the staff, but they are truly a credit to Hakuraa Huraa and they play a massive part in ensuring you have an amazing holiday, you should all be very proud of who you are and what you do. Aside from the staff, the resort is such an amazing place, white sandy beaches (Which are swept clean every day) clear turquoise sea with wonderful sea life. If you are thinking about booking for this resort, do it …..you will not be disappointed. We will be back! Mike and Emma Read less
