"The value you get for your money when you stay at Dhamana Beach is unmatched in every sense of the way. You obviously should not expect a five star experience on this budget but what you get when you choose Dhamana is actually far more than we expected in this price range. The value is incredible. Especially the crew make this place what it is. They stopped at nothing to make sure we had the best stay possible and even agreed to customize one of their excursions quite a lot to make sure it...

"This property is very recommendable. It is very clean. The food is done with love. The employees are very attentive and accommodating.
Unfortunately, the infrastructure (e.g. beaches) is not really usable due to religious reasons. Burning waste in the neighborhood sometimes causes odor problems. Combustion should also be optimized here for environmental reasons (this is a task for the local public administration).
Overall, the accommodation is definitely worth recommending. The aforementioned...

"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,...

"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...

"We had a great stay here. Rishwan is an amazing host. So kind! The room is big, clean, cozy and the available bikes made a big difference. It allows you to explore the whole island with ease. The island is more beautiful than expected as well. There’s a really nice island vibe going on and everyone is very friendly and welcoming. Food options at the hotel and the rest of the island are good. But what really did it for us where the amazing excursions that we did with the guys of seaside. The have...

"Besonders schön war der Blick aufs Meer! Zudem hat das Personal bei allem geholfen und war sehr freundlich. Man konnte zwischen maledivischen und kontinentalen Frühstück wählen. Zu meinem Zeitpunkt gab es draußen bis in die Nacht Bauarbeiten, was ein wenig laut war, aber mich persönlich nicht all zu sehr gestört hat. Mir hat im Zimmer ein Mülleimer gefehlt. Das Wasser ist sehr schwefelhaltig und mein Schmuck wird hat sich nach 5min verfärbt. Ansonsten war ich aber zufrieden mit der Unterkunft....

"Una piccola guest house vicina alla bikini beach. Camera non molto grande ma pulita e con tutto il necessario.
Hazim che si occupa della struttura è un ragazzo davvero gentile e disponibile.
La cucina del ristorante semplice e buona.

"Banyan Villa is a wonderful place to stay! I really enjoyed my time there and the very homey feel of the villa. The staff, especially Husnee, Ashraf and Habib are all so incredibly friendly, accomodating and I can't thank them enough for their hospitality. The villa was very clean, the food was wonderful, very healthy and so fresh. Thank you to all the staff at Banyan Villa for making our stay in Dhangethi so wonderful and memorable! We will definitely be back! "

Machchafushi Island Resort & Spa Maldives, The Centara Collection
10/10 Excellent
"Stayed 6 nights at the Machchafushi resort. An amazing experience overall. Great location with friendly and helpful staff. Enjoyed the stay and food. The room was spotless and the minibar daily replenished. Siva and Shafiq at the bar made some excellent mocktails and Yuvi explained everything to us on arrival. Credits to Nasru from house keeping . An overall great experience. Very unique given we had never stayed before on an over the water villa. "
"Constance Hotel has a rustic feel n a very relaxing atmosphere. We saw many types fishes, ray n squids from above or during snorkeling . Food variety is good, service staff always wanting to please . A highly recommended resort hotel ! "
"Absolutely amazing trip from start to end. The water bungalow was incredibly spacious and well equipped. The all inclusive was excellent value for money and the food was delicious. The staff were friendly and welcoming and provided an amazing service. Thank you so much for an amazing time. We didn’t want to leave."
"The only reason I did not give an overall excellent for this property is the food. Breakfast and lunch were excellent but sometimes the dinners were less than great. There was no choice only what was cooked on the night. Also it could be because as a westerner I am used to only the best boneless cuts of meat, but on occasion the meat was inedible due to bones and gristle. A shame because the flavours were very good and the staff were excellent. For future reference a description of the food would be useful. If I was to return to this venue I would probably only eat vegetarian. The island itself was quite small (not a criticism) and easy to walk around, the people were quite friendly. Overall I would say this property fit in the backpackers / divers niche. As I was not looking for the usual Maldives experience this was an advantage for me. The only issue as far as the accommodation was concerned is that my bed linens did not appear to be changed the whole 2 weeks I was there, but I could be mistaken if the sheets were washed then put back on the same day. The private beach at the property was wonderful and very private - I had it all to myself for my whole visit. Didn’t worry me that I had to be covered from neck to knee for religious reasons but would not recommend swimming in your beach cover up. The public beach at the other end of the island (10 / 15 minutes walk) did not look all that well kept so I only went for a look once and then stayed on my private beach."
"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."
