What the verified scores rest on, with the public pages we checked.
Each score is out of 10 against a fixed rubric (how we rank). Scores we cannot support with evidence are left blank.
House reef: 5 out of 10 medium confidence, checked 2 Nov 2026
Official experiences page: 'Reethi Faru has its own house reef directly accessible from the island - ideal for snorkelling without needing to take a boat trip.' The all-inclusive package lists a daily guided house reef snorkeling tour with complimentary equipment. Direct access and a guided tour are evidenced, but no distance, entry-point count or coral detail is held and no independent source exists, so the score stays at 5.

Dining: 6 out of 10 medium confidence, checked 2 Nov 2026
Official factsheet: 'one of our six restaurants' and 'one of our six bar outlets', including a buffet (Vakaru), a 24-hour restaurant and bar on stilts, a grill, set dinners in cabanas, a 'Veggie n Vegan' outlet and a poolside cafe, with an all-inclusive package and a 'Full Dine Around' all-inclusive premium package. Formats and plan choice are documented, but no independent quality evidence is held, so breadth tops out at 6.

Families: 5 out of 10 medium confidence, checked 2 Nov 2026
Official pages: 'Little Explorers, Big Adventures' kids activities (kids' sea scooter, dolphin safari, games room, sports complex), 'Kids Stay and Eat Free' for two children under 11.99 with two adults, and family-sized villas such as the 146 m² two-bedroom suites. The FAQ says the resort does not have a kids' club but has a supervised play area, and high chairs and cribs on request. An activity programme with some family facilities fits 5; there is no kids club and no independent corroboration, so it stays at 5.

Activities: 6 out of 10 medium confidence, checked 2 Nov 2026
Official factsheet: a water sports centre ('one of the best-equipped water sports centres in the Maldives'), a PADI 5* and SSI dive centre, a marine centre with reef restoration and citizen science projects, a health club with indoor and outdoor sports complex, yoga and a spa. The package adds a sunset dhoni cruise, transparent canoeing and daily evening entertainment. A broad programme is documented, but only by the resort itself, so the score tops out at 6.

No total yet: the room price has not been checked. An incomplete estimate is never a total.
Each line comes from a source we looked at: the resort's own booking system or website, or the Maldives tax rules. Not included means unknown, not free. Meals beyond the rate, drinks, excursions and flights are never guessed. Live prices are confirmed by the booking partner, never invented by us.
Choose Reethi Faru Resort if it fits. Skip it if the catch matters more.
