アンガガはとてもすばらしかった。ビーチはとても綺麗で、ハウスリーフの珊瑚、魚の数は今まででダントツ素晴らしかったです。バーにあったココナッツのお酒入りのクルンバコラーダ、レストランのパスタと魚は忘れられません。全てのスタッフは親切で、特に私のウエイター、パスタと魚を調理してくれたシェフやフルーツをカットしてくれたシェフ、部屋担当のスタッフ、ジンベイザメスノーケリングのスタッフに感謝します。 さらなる要望は、ジンベイザメスノーケリングの回数をもっと多くし、ジンベイザメサーチの時間がもっと長かったらなと思いました。 近い将来、また必ず、再訪します。 本当は、すぐにでも、戻りたいです。 ずっとずっとアンガガにいたいです。

The Maldives is always nice. The value for money here was good. The food is buffet style and reasonable - although the islands which do not include half board and are also in a different price category offer much more varied and tastier food. The staff was not unfriendly, but a but a bit careless. Again unlike on other islands where I have stayed, I did not feel they had much of a service mentality. The island is eroding on one side and it seriously impacts some of the villas (bungalows) - I guess a consequence of climate change. Not sure whether guests would happily stay in those.

Great resort with its own reef.

My husband and I had a wonderful 7 night stay at Angaga Resort recently. We loved arriving by sea plane and seeing the crystal clear water and beautiful sandy beach. It really felt like we were in paradise and didn't want to leave at the end of our stay. We came home feeling so relaxed and refreshed.

Avkoppling i underbar miljö!

Avkoppling på HÖG nivå i en underbar miljö, så oerhört vackert! En ynnest att bara kunna öppna balkongdörren, ta tio steg och därefter vara omsluten av turkost vatten. Lite slitet på sina håll, men tänker att det tropiska klimatet sliter rätt hårt... Bra frukost- och middagsbuffé om man har half-board. Rekommenderar inte All Inclusive, utan menar att det räcker att ta något lätt från barmenyn på lunchen. Servicen fin rätt igenom. Ta med USD cash för dricks... Vattenlivet skiftande... Underbart att se alla färgglada fiskar, mantra, rockor, hajar, sköldpaddor och delfiner - MEN korallerna mår inte bra! Ledsamt att se denna korallkyrkogård... Kan varmt rekommendera Angaga, var dock medvetna om att detta är en liten, liten ö!

Wunderbare Tage im Paradise

Das Hotel Angaga ist wie ein kleines Paradies auf Erden. Alles ist perfekt! Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich, nett und zuvorkommend.Wir hatten eine Wasserville welche einfach wunderschön und perfekt war. Direkt vom Zimmer in das blaue Wasser zum schnorcheln oder baden, einfach himmlisch. Den ganzen Aufenthalt über waren wir barfuss, weil die ganze Insel, Reception und Restaurant mit Sand gefüllt ist. Gnial und sehr entspannend! Wir hatten Halbpension und das Essen wir immer sehr lecker und reichlich von allem bis zum Schluss. Gerne wieder und besten Dank für alles!

Als Familie mit drei Kindern im Alter zwischen zwölf und 17 Jahren haben wir wunderbare Tage in Angaga verbracht. Das Personal war überaus freundlich und hilfsbereit, die Tauchbasis perfekt organisiert. Die Insel bietet hervorragende Möglichkeiten zum Schnorcheln und einen tollen Strand. Sie ist herrlich klein und überschaubar. Das Essen war sehr gut. Besonders lobenswert sind auch die Massagen.

シュノーケラーには最高の場所、しかし…

今回滞在の目的はシュノーケリング。7泊の滞在中、毎日ハウスリーフを堪能しました。ハウスリーフのサンゴはほとんど生きていませんが、魚影の濃さが魅力です。様々な色鮮やかな魚が楽しませてくれました。 残念なことが2つ。1つは女性スタッフが少なかったこと。たぶんスパのスタッフしか女性はいないかと思います。男性スタッフがダメという訳ではないですが、やはり細やかな気配り、心遣いは望めませんでした。そして、私たちにとって最大の不満は食事です。7泊だったので最後は飽きてしまい、食が進みませんでした。種類が少ない訳ではないですが、味覚が私たちには合いませんでした。 全体的には、価格に見合った素晴らしいリゾートでした。

ホスピタリティの高い南国リゾート

ハネムーンで7日間滞在しました。従業員のホスピタリティが高く、どの方も気軽に声をかけてくれ、且つ片言の日本語まで喋れる方がいたのには驚きました。客の年齢層が高く落ち着いた雰囲気のため、ゆったりとすごしたい方にはおすすめできるリゾートです。ドイツ人が非常に多く、室内の案内も英語、ドイツ語、イタリア語、日本語、という感じでした。スタッフの話では、最近は日本人の数が減って中国人が多くなったとのことです。残念だったのは（致し方ないのですが）、乾季と雨季の変わり目頃にいったため潜ったときの透明度がそこまで高くなかった（10ｍ程度）ことでしょうか。

Ruhe und Zweisamkeit

... war unser Ziel in diesem 10-Tages-Aufenthalt. Dafür ist das 'Angaga' bestens geeignet. Wundersamer Weise geht man sich hier trotz 90 'Wohneinheiten' (50 Beach Bungalows/40 Water Bungalows) auf einer kleinen Insel, die man in 10 min locker umrunden kann, erfolgreich aus dem Weg. Nur hier und da (außer bei den Mahlzeiten) trifft man Miturlauber - in großer Mehrheit aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum. Unnötiger Smalltalk kommt also kaum auf - auch in den beiden Bars kann man sich so auf seinen Partner, seinen Drink oder den Sonnenuntergang konzentrieren. Das Schönste ist das - korallenmäßig zwar fast komplett tote - Hausriff. Wer also nicht gerade bunte Korallen, dafür aber jede Menge verschiedenster, auch großer Fische genießen möchte, ist hier genau richtig. Selbst Schildkröten, verschiedene Rochen, Riffhaie, kleine Zitronenhaie (über 10 Stück inmitten eines Fischschwarms täglich direkt im Flachwasser am Strand!), große Tiger Prawns, 'Nemos', Drückerfische, verschiedenste Papageifischarten, Lippfische kann man täglich sehen. Ausflüge an andere Riffe sind also unnötig, es sei denn, wenn man einmal - wie wir es taten - Mantas sehen möchte. Dann empfiehlt sich die Teilnahme an einem Vormittagsausflug zum sog. 'Manta Point' am westlichen Außenriff. Diese Tiere dort zu sehen, scheint hier wohl fast 100 % sicher. Das gemeinsame Schnorcheln mit möglicherweise 100 anderen Manta-Fans muss man allerdings mögen....

Fantastic island

This was my third stay at Angaga and once again it didn't disappoint. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the rooms are cleaned twice a day with an abundance of clean towels. The food offers a variety of dishes in a buffet style at each meal. There is a fantastic German run dive school on the island - Sub Aqua and we dived every day. The dive staff are very helpful and accommodating. We would highly recommend this island.
