I had an exceptional stay at this hotel, and I can't recommend it enough. From the moment I arrived, the service was top-notch. The staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and attentive to every detail, ensuring that my check-in was smooth and hassle-free. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, with all the amenities I could possibly need. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I had one of the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a long time. The hotel’s facilities were impressive as well. The on-site restaurant served delicious meals, and I thoroughly enjoyed breakfast each morning with a wide variety of fresh options. The location was perfect—conveniently close to the beach but tucked away enough to provide a peaceful retreat. I also appreciated the complimentary shuttle service, which was provided when I left the hotel. Overall, my stay exceeded all expectations. The combination of exceptional service, comfort, and amenities made for a truly memorable experience. I look forward to returning and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a perfect getaway.

Imran is an amazing manager! He manages the place like his own and very attentive to every need. Staff was cheerful and attentive all the time as well. To be honest our stay was beyond our expectations 10/10 and if I could give more than 10 I would! A couple of things that the staff did was very heartwarming. Even-though I didn't mention that we came for holidays in Maldives for my mums birthday they've checked the dates and noticed it and prepared a special surprise for us! It was very unexpected and made us feel cozy and happy! The second thing that amazed me is my SD card for the underwater camera didn't work and Imran managed to bring a new one from Male! He organized all our outdoor trips/excursions etc. In short we will be back when we have time for sure. Thanks for everything!!! Darya and Anna

Grand Hotel is a newly renovated accommodation (partly under renovation) the rooms smells nicely and are clean. We had full board and all meals were served in the second floor restaurant overlooking the whole area and partly the sea. The food was excellent, we were surprised how good the Italian specialties were. The local dishes were also good and traditionally slightly spicy. Only water was served with the meal and the portions were not very large but we didn't mind, perfect for swimwear :-) Don't forget to take repellent even for breakfast (repellent gel was on every room for free, it was very helpful). Thanks to restaurant manager who takes a really good care of us during meals. Bicycles were not available and unfortunately it's quite a walk to the bikini beach, and it's over an hour walk to the romantic end of the island we chose it for. Whether you walk along the beach or through the town and jungle, it really is a pleasant walk. The area around the hotel and the beach is nicely maintained and clean. Shaheen is the young but very experienced manager of the hotel, he always helped us with everything and took us on great excursions and especially because of him we were able to snorkel with the whale shark and mantas. Shaheen, thank you for everything again. We will definitely recommend this accommodation to our friends! Thank you to the Sand Grand team for an unforgettable experience

I stayed here for a week with my mother. My mother was abroad for the first time, and she was very happy! The owner of the hotel Ishan did everything possible to make our stay comfortable. The staff tried to change the food for us, first from fruits there were watermelons, and then papaya, from the main course they served fish with rice or pasta with chicken and there were different vegetable salads and even potatoes a couple of times. The fish was cooked very tasty. You can ask Ishan to rent bicycles. We were given the opportunity to ride for one day for free, it was very nice. We will gladly stay with you again if we are in Toddoo.

Staff is the best ever! Amazing people, with whom we shared 11 fantastic days! We became friends with Isha (Ikko), Liv, grandma, Siro, Ali, Nade and pretty much everyone else - cooks, cleaning staff etc. (apologies for mistyping or forgetting to mention your names :)). They helped us so much and made our stay a dream come true! During our stay thanks to the excursions Perla organized for us we saw and swam multiple times with whale sharks, mantas, turtles, pods of dolphins, sting rays and also swam with nurse sharks and went to a beautiful shipwreck for snorkelling. On top of that they sent us amazing go pro footage from the excursions for free! We saw local traditions and sampled exotic food during a local festival and it all felt like being part of one big family. We went for a day to a fancy resort nearby but honestly, we would recommend Perla over any modern resort as in Perla Dhangethi you have everything you need on an exotic local island for the fraction of the price one would have to pay at a resort and as a bonus you meet so many cool people from around the world! We will definitely come back soon!

This is the 5th time we were in Maldive and among all local hotel that we had been through, Belmar beach gives us the best experienced. Below are the reasons: 1. The hotel room & toilet were clean and very functional - I would give a rating of 9 out of 10. 2. We have a beach front room and was very convenient to the beach with beautiful view and lots of privacy, the beach was clean and not even dry leaves, (everymorning there will be cleaner cleaning up all the dry leaves) - 9 out of 10. 3. The in house reef was also another plus point, without the need to travel any place further and we get to enjoy our snorkeling - 8 out of 10. 4. Everyday , we enjoyed our lunch and dinner there because the hotel has a very good chef. We are not easy to be please with food but for this chef , we give a thumbs up - 10 out of 10. 5. Activities - we went for lobster hunt and we had 2 lobster plus 1 fish catch for our dinner. we went for sunset fishing trip and we caught 19 fishes in 2 hours. They knows exactly which is the spot to catch the fish, so Sunset fishing is a must go activities, likewise for Lobster hunting. and we have 4 fishes for our beach front dinner , which was a surprise arrangement by the hotel staff - 9 out of 10. 6. The island is very well located , as most activities are not too far away from the island and that make it convenient without having to take hours just to reach the activity location - 9 out of 10.

Our family had an unforgettable stay at Aria Beach, Ukulhas — truly a gem in the Maldives. Every corner of the resort reflects thoughtful design and heartfelt hospitality. The spacious room was perfect for families, especially with child-friendly touches that showed genuine care and detail. Our children’s favorite spot was the pool, while the beach right at our doorstep offered crystal-clear waters and sea life that made snorkeling a joy for all of us. Brother Sam is not just a host — he is a visionary. His sincerity, humility, and passion for developing Ukulhas in an eco-friendly way deeply inspired us. Listening to his journey of building Aria Beach and his dedication to uplifting the local community reminded us that barakah comes when we serve others with purpose. May Allah bless his efforts and those who work with him. Stories like this deserve to be shared with the world. We left Ukulhas with full hearts, and inshaAllah, we look forward to returning again soon.

Excellent value for money! Spacious room and bathroom, very comfortable king bed, shower that provides a relaxing bath. The owners, Ahu and Mapple, did everything to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Each day, you can choose between two types of breakfast, the continental and the Maldivian. Without a doubt, a great option!

We can’t recommend this place enough! The staff at Sun Beach Dhigurah were incredibly kind and accommodating to both me and my partner during our 3-night stay. They even arranged for us to go snorkelling -free of charge. It was an unforgettable experience, and we had an amazing time being shown all the aquatic wildlife the corals had to offer. The staff were also very helpful from the moment of arrival - taking our luggage for us and getting us to the accommodation. They were great with organizing excursions, getting us to them and making our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. We asked for some bikes to cycle the island and they delivered them to the door of the accommodation and accommodated us when we asked to keep them for the next day- even though we asked around 9pm. The room was spotless, and the bed was so comfy- enough for a 12 hour sleep after lots of sleepless travelling. They always topped up the coffee, tea, and water, which was helpful for our early starts hunting the sunrise on the sandbank and for the whale shark tour we did. If you're looking for a place with warm hospitality, great experiences, and top-notch service Sun Beach Dhigurah is a great place to stay. For the cheapest accommodation we could find on Booking, it surpassed all expectations and then some.

What can we said about this wonderful resort, except that it is Paradise. A small tropical island (100x250m) with beautiful lush vegetation. There are only 51 villas on the island, so there is a maximum of 100 people when its full. The villas are beautiful. We were in a duplex villa with a private pool overlooking the sea. The villa is extra luxurious with a huge double bed, with two bathrooms (one next to the bedroom upstairs) and the other on the ground floor with a semi-open style. There is also a small jacuzzi tub. The villa is cleaned twice a day. Lot of very quality towels. There are also two huge terraces with swings and deckchairs. AC is very good. All the staff at the resort are very friendly and helpful like almost anywhere I have met. Shan, the manager, is especially kind and available, and he was happy to fulfill our every wish and need with ease. The food is very tasty and there is something for everyone. In 6 days, it was always different. There are some pebbles and corals on the beach and in the water so I suggest water shoes. A beautiful infinity pool with a depth of 1.5 m overlooks the sea and is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Immediately there is a bar with wonderful staff. The resort has a gym, SPA and diving center. Transportation to the resort is by seaplane for about an hour because it stops at two other resorts. It was an advantage for us, because we had a wonderful panoramic flight for a long time.

We chose this resort for our honeymoon and we were very happy with our decision. It's been our first time in Maldives and for both of us it was the best trip we ever had. Villa Park is a great place to relax, enjoy the sun, nature, the beach, the walks and so on. It's a nice destination not only for honeymoons but also for families and friends's trip. The staff has been professional, friendly and kind. Our host Nizam really took care of us: he helped us to change room smoothly and greatly managed our request. We recommend choosing the all-inclusive package as you will be able to enjoy drinks at any time. Food selection at the buffet was excellent. The best room we stayed was the private pool villa by the beach.

The resort was just the right size; neither too big or small. They seem to cater for couples rather than families which meant there were less people at the resort allowing the staff to be more attentive. Everyone was super friendly and the service was 5 star along with the food. We know of a few couples who visited Meeru island for their honeymoon and we did a lot of research and comparisons with Meeru but chose diamonds Thudufushi, and we have absolutely no regrets. Highly recommend this resort for couples.

Gangehi Island resort was a dream resort - this is one of the best places to visit in Maldives. Myself and my wife had requested vegetarian meal - the breakfast and dinner had so many options that we were eating 3 plates every day. The rooms were amazing. The shower idea that has you hearing the ocean while shower just brought that extra special feeling. To be able to open your balcony door, go out and straight into the Indian ocean. Amazing friendly staff - always wishing you well.

An amazing snorkelling beach -no boats or travel required -just thousands of colourful fish and turtles, perfect white sand and palm trees. The concession stand sold delicious, fresh-picked fruit-watermelon, papaya, bananas. We loved the Coccoa beach restaurant and the Black Anchor and the Mango House had fabulous lattes and desserts.

The most beautiful sea I have ever seen in my entire life.

The most beautiful sea I have ever seen in my entire life. And mind you, I have visited many seas in many countries! For food, I recommend the restaurant at the Dhiguveli hotel and the Teapot restaurant. Getting around the island is very easy; you can reach any place quickly on foot. Don't miss going to the sandbank at one of the ends of the island.

Great Island, plenty to do and good snorkelling straight off Villa. Food, people and facilitiies were great - cannot fault. Deluxe water villas were a bit tired and really need a refurbishment - other than that great time in Kuramathi...

I didn't like that the island lost most of it's green and I didn't see the wild nature I prefer. There was a lot of construction going on the moment I was there, I felt discomfort because of that. And maybe in 1-2 years it's going to be over I think. But on the other hand there's just amazing diving on the house reef and nearby reefs. There's a lot of nice restaurants and there was no day I felt bored.

It is a small enough island to walk around.

It is a small enough island to walk around. The locals are extremely friendly - always saying hello. There are 3 restaurants all along the west coast. Compass seems most popular. But all are good with same offering of food. There is a fair amount of building going on at the moment as they gear up for more tourists. We used South Ari Dive for our diving trips. They are professional and friendly.

It was not my first time in Maldives and my experience there was disappointing compared to my previous trips in other resorts. The quality of service is poor and it’s a shame because the resort is lovely and the staff are nice but lack professionalism.

We enjoyed 7 days on the island. The rooms are very clean.

We enjoyed 7 days on the island. The rooms are very clean. The food is AMAZING! Everyone from staff are kind. The resort is sustainable, they try very hard to recycle and repurpose almost everything which is really nice. All inclusive is the smarter choice, trust me😄 The snorkeling is really fun! The whole island stands on coral reef and there is a lot to see! Maybe bring your own equipment, although you can rent. I don’t recommend the visit to the local island, nothing to see there We absolutely recommend

You need maximum 3 days to complete all trips, any more than that would have to be someone who loves water sports as these are the main activities in this country, anyways. Bring a mosquito or any insect repellent, you will need these after a stroll on the shores or anywhere there are plants. Also have an anti-nausea pill if you are the seasick type. Taxis have a fixed price for each location, check that out. Alcohol in the resorts is expensive but then again that's all you got. Best to pay all meals or include dinner in your package as there are almost no restaurants outside, depending on the island, and if you find one it's either a chips or coffee spots.

A Wonderful Beach Holiday.

A Wonderful Beach Holiday. Necessary structure: shops and cafes are available. The ability to pay with a bank card, as well as in cash (USD, MVR). Good exchange rate in all places. I was pleased with both Mathiveri and Mathiveri Finholu: the beaches are clean, the sand does not burn your feet, and there is a comfortable "coolness" in the shade of the trees.

Superb new facility and well connected atoll with great diving spots close by, the diving crew is well experienced and friendly, and they conduct PADI certification courses as well. All inclusive includes free kayaking for one hour every day (depending on sea conditions), free SUP for one hour every day (depending on sea conditions) and free rental of snorkeling gear for the entire duration of stay. There were several other water sport options like jet sky, dive tours, night snorkeling as well. The active coral reef need a bit of a boat ride to reach but they are filled with fishes. The whale shark viewing was amazing!!
