Mar 05,2024Makunudu is a quaint small island in the Maldives, the service and food is exceptional as is snorkelling for those interested. Holiday organised by Angelfish travel, no problems whatsoever, kept in regular touch throughout booking process, 1st class, will use again.

Feb 28,2024We started to use Angelfish Travel following a recommendation from a couple we met in the Maldives back in 2016. Since then we have trusted Jo, Dan, Clare and Kate with all our Maldive holidays and they have always delivered the very best in friendly, personal and thoroughly professional service. With an extensive website, regular Newsletter and their encyclopaedic knowledge of all things pertaining to Indian Ocean travel, their advice and guidance in respect of destinations and resorts is always personally tailored and spot-on accurate. We have recently returned from the Maldives following another Angelfish recommendation and have just completed the booking procedure for our next Maldivian holiday. For any travel in or around the Indian Ocean, I would never consider using any other travel company and would thoroughly recommend them to anyone looking for expert travel opinion and smooth, hassle-free selection and booking procedures.

Feb 28,2024Just returned from CoCo Palm D’huni Kolhu, our fifth visit and the island is as magical and unspoilt as ever. We have always used Jo and Clare at Angelfish, including two holidays to Mauritius. Their detailed knowledge, professionalism and prompt help gave us confidence in our choice, and we know they give very good attention to their clients needs, as was demonstrated in year 1 when we missed our connection. They pulled out all the stops to help.

Feb 22,2024We started using Angelfish following a recommendation from a friend and and this has proven invaluable, particularly when seeking advice about new islands and arranging holidays in more than one island. Angelfish were very accommodating when we chose to postpone our holiday twice during the Covid years. In 2023 we finally went on our holiday that was planned for 2021. This was a complicated three island holiday with transfers. All worked smoothly and efficiently then and again this year when we visited two islands. As a snorkeling fanatic I particularly value Angelfish's advice about the quality of the snorkeling on different islands while all members of our group value insights into other aspects of island life Full marks to Angelfish for a friendly, helpful and efficient service. I am already planning my next trip to Maldives with Angelfish.

Feb 09,2024We are on about our 10th holiday with Angelfish Travel and for the Indian ocean wouldn't look anywhere else. They have an encyclopaedic knowledge of the islands and individual resorts and go to great lengths to get to know their clients so they can confidently match their requirements. Charming, efficient and utterly professional, Jo and her team of 'Angels' are a dream to work with !

Feb 07,2024Angelfish have been our go to travel operator for the past 8 years. We have always used them to travel to the Maldives and Mauritius. They are very knowledgeable and will always recommend resorts within your budget, type of holiday in mind , have great offers and have fantastic customer service. For example, On my most recent trip to Maldives, the resort where i was staying did not have me booked as all inclusive even though i had booked it and had shown my booking confirmation. The hotel were not being helpful at all so i called Angel fish and with in 10 mins my problem was solved. ( Hotel booking error not Angelfish)! We are looking forward to booking our next holiday with you guys!

Dec 15,2023Truly an outstanding and professional company who put us at the heart of their efforts. From the moment we contacted them until we arrived back in the UK we were made to feel special. They tailor made everything to make us happy and achieved their aim. Sri Lanka: Our driver in could not of helped us more. He was courteous, charming, knowledgeable, friendly, and couldn’t do enough for us. The activities were adventures but very safe, magical and gave us a true feeling of the country and its beautiful people and wildlife. Maldives: My wife and I have travel a lot but we can honestly say the resort Angelfish chose was the best we have ever had the privilege to stay at. The staff were outstanding with the Luxury - Inclusive being the golden thread through everything and everyone. From the moment we landed in Male to the moment we flew back we felt again to be in safe, caring and expert hands. This place is truly paradise and is faultless throughout. The attention to detail cannot be overstated. We love snorkelling and the house reef is amazing (came across baby shark, turtles, Moray eels , beautiful Coral to name a few). Thank you to all staff and Angelfish for making our dream come true.

Sep 07,2023Angelfish offer superb quality service; this was our 6th trip to the Maldives and at least our 4th trip booked through Angelfish. Clare and the team offered expert advice and tailormade the holiday to meet our requirements. We needed to postpone this trip last year due to illness and they sent me a lovely bouquet of flowers to wish me well. We will use their services again and definitely recommend them to others.

Jan 21,2023Absolutely superb customer service & attention to detail and totally customer focused. We have just booked our 10th holiday to The Maldives with Angelfish (that fact alone shows how happy we are with them) and as always they couldn’t have been more helpful.Their knowledge both of different resorts and their understanding of our requirements & preferences is first class. Absolutely no hesitation in answering numerous questions about different resorts & providing recommendations & comprehensive information. They have visited many of the resorts & have first hand knowledge which helps significantly. We can’t recommend them highly enough.

Aug 25,2022Well what praise can you give to Jo and the team that is high enough! After lots of very helpful initial discussions we booked a trip to Helengeli in early 2019 for travel in July 2020 which got moved thanks to some pandemic first to 2021 then had to shift again to 2022. Over numerous rebookings and change to flights Jo was always by our side, her same professional and helpful self. If you are travelling to the Maldives with a family Helengeli is great with a fabulous reef, food and super friendly staff. It was so great to arrive there and so hard to leave! If you are travelling to the Maldives use Angelfish. You will never regret it for a moment!

Apr 29,2022We decided to book our honeymoon with Angelfish having heard several good reports - those reports weren’t wrong. We originally booked our trip three years ago, over the last three years the team at Angelfish have had to deal with numerous cancellations and changes. Throughout this time they have communicated really well with us and ensured all are needs have been met. We have just returned from a holiday of a life time - many thanks to the tan at Angelfish travel.

Apr 25,2022We have used Angelfish for maldives holidays for as long as they have been around and even before when they were Maldives Direct. Always been well served and expect no less when we look at future holiday trips to their other specialist areas such as Seychelles, Mauritus, etc.

Apr 12,2022We have just returned from Kuda Fushi Resort & Spa in the Maldives. I tried a few travel companies but booked through Angelfish Travel. Absolutely the best decision. Clare was totally brilliant, professional, extremely knowledgeable, attention to detail was fantastic and any questions I had, Clare or her colleagues answered immediately and with additional information that we may have required. Would definitely book through Angelfish Travel again and would highly recommend them for anyone wanting to visit the Maldives. Kuda Fushi was a small gem of an Island in the Raa Atol, 45 mins by sea plane. Plenty of activities if that's what you want or just relax on your own piece of beach and the azure ocean to gaze at. Fabulous choice of food, a different theme each night, wonderful Maldivian hospitality, definitely an Island to visit. Coral starting to return and lots of fish to watch whilst snorkelling on eh house reef.

Mar 22,2024Recently returned from the Maldives having booked through Angelfish. You can be sure in the knowledge that they actually do visit their featured destinations. A few months before departure we had a query on an aspect of the island, which was quickly answered through their professional contacts out there. With a reminder received shortly before departure regarding immigration requirements & flight check in, they clearly have a finger on the pulse. Their knowledge gained through years of experience together with efficiency & friendliness means we'll be booking with them again.
