"We had a wonderful time @Whaleshark beach hotel. We felt very welcome and safe. Good location right in a middle of the village, close to the beach and shops. Strong wifi, good restaurant and possibility to book a tour. Special thanks to the friendly staff! "
"Beautiful place and great service. Food is great. Walkable to sand bar. Otherwise take taxi. The hotel can arrange for this. Affordable fishing activity. "
"This is a very nice place for the area. Staff way very helpful, and arranged or incoming and out going transfers, also the dives. But a must was the scooter to drive to the sandbar, trust me it can be walked but u will not enjoy it was much vs taking the very inexpensive scooter the hotel can arrange "
"Staff went over and beyond to make sure everything was good but to a point where it felt overboard. Room doors didn't shut properly and a lot of bugs were in the room, continually killing large ants that crawled on everything including in bed. "
"Our stay had highs and lows. The best part was the incredible staff - always friendly and helpful. The hotel was also spotless, thanks to the amazing cleaner. Another highlight was its location, just steps from Bikini Beach, making it easy to enjoy the beautiful shoreline.
However, there were several issues. We booked a room with a balcony and sea view but got a small window facing a brick wall. Management first denied the mistake, then blamed Expedia, despite Expedia confirming the hotel...
"What a lovely guesthouse in Dhigurah. We spent 6 nights here and tbh we could stay here forever. Felt right at home from the start. Haseef and his crew were so friendly and Abel to organise trips and rides for us. I enjoyed the traditional Maldivian brekkie but only had it once because my wife don't eat eggs or tuna so we tended to have coffee and biscuits in the room.
The area is very safe, it's close to the local Mosque so you will hear the prayers daily but we didn't mind that as it's...
"Lux* South Ari is a great choice for a vacation in the Maldives. The island is beautiful, great facilities, excellent service. I’d definitely recommend the all inclusive option (def worth the money and offers many options). They offer many activities and the spa is fantastic. The Lux Cafe is also a great touch. I’ve tried both the beach villas and the over water villas and you def can’t go wrong with either. "
"We’ve stayed at the Kudarah island for 10 night May 2024 and had an outstanding vacation. The personal was so kind, all the food was perfect, the diving options are amazing, plus the beach villa with private front pool was so great. "

"My friend and I had a very nice time during our stay at Endheri Sunset guest house. The staff were friendly and charming. The island was mostly very beautiful. The food plan we had while fairly basic, was mostly filling, tasty, and good. The diving was generally very good, and our guide Eaman was very professional. The snorkelling was good too although some of the surrounding reef was a bit sparse or dead in parts, I still spotted octopus, rays, small reef sharks etc. Just one word of caution,...

"Modern, beautiful property designed with intention for detail. Located in a quiet, yet central area. Outstanding breakfast and solid dinner/lunch options, on par with the best restaurants on the island. Stellar staff that provide great service throughout. Laundry service, bike/scooter rental & snorkling gear is available aswell. Hotel also arranged transfers and trips including drop off and pickup from the Harbor. Rooms were always perfectly clean.
Only complaint we had during our entire stay, was the absolutely awful dessert in the restaurant, but if you stay away from that you will have the best possible stay on Dhigurah."
"Our stay had highs and lows. The best part was the incredible staff - always friendly and helpful. The hotel was also spotless, thanks to the amazing cleaner. Another highlight was its location, just steps from Bikini Beach, making it easy to enjoy the beautiful shoreline.
However, there were several issues. We booked a room with a balcony and sea view but got a small window facing a brick wall. Management first denied the mistake, then blamed Expedia, despite Expedia confirming the hotel controlled the listing. The hotel refused to take responsibility or offer compensation.
The bathroom had a persistent drain smell, which returned every time we used the shower. With no balcony or large window, airing it out was impossible. Breakfast was meant to be European-style but was a strange mix of foods—though you could order an omelette.
Many excursions were cancelled due to low sign-ups. The whale shark trip, advertised as exclusive for hotel guests, was shared with 16 others from different hotels, some of whom paid less than we did. It lasted seven hours instead of four, with no proper food provided.
The house reef excursion was lovely, but guides seemed more focused on filming for social media than helping guests.
While the staff were fantastic, management lacked accountability. With better organisation, this hotel could be amazing."
"What a lovely guesthouse in Dhigurah. We spent 6 nights here and tbh we could stay here forever. Felt right at home from the start. Haseef and his crew were so friendly and Abel to organise trips and rides for us. I enjoyed the traditional Maldivian brekkie but only had it once because my wife don't eat eggs or tuna so we tended to have coffee and biscuits in the room.
The area is very safe, it's close to the local Mosque so you will hear the prayers daily but we didn't mind that as it's part of their culture and we found it quite grounding.
The guesthouse is in the village part so lots of locals living around you but everyone just goes on about their own business anyway. The room was always clean and although simple ie no TV, we didn't mind as spent more time either on the beach (2 mins walk right as you leave the guesthouse), on excursions or asleep.
Highly recommend this place and absolutely would love to come.back. Maldivians are extremely laid-back so don't expect lots of contact beforehand to arrange transfers, I have OCD and must of sent a dozen emails and text messages lol."
"My vacation was very enjoyable thanks to the wonderful staff that always accommodate to us, especially Raju who always went out of his way for us. Thank you also to Go Divers for the great excursions. I highly recommend them if you plan to snorkeling in the best spots and see the best of Maldives. "
