Food was good but would be nice if it would be more Maledivien food. (Kitchen staff is Indian)

Perfect location at the bikini beach. Lovely staff. Diving center in the hotel.

Nothing to complain, everything was just perfect. Only thing which could be improved to update bed linen and towels to newer ones.

The hotel is located at the sea shore and has direct access to bikini beach with nice area for snorkeling. Personal of the hotel is very friendly and helped with everything I asked for. Very nice place to stay in Dharavandhoo Maldives.

Comfortable rooms right at the bikini beach. Good communication with staff before checking in, they booked the flights for us and picked us up at the airport. Good food. Diving and snorkeling on offer, on one of the best places in the world for admiring marine life at its best. Always on alert for manta spotting at nearby Hanifaru bay, they make sure not to leave anyone behind when those beauties show up. Very quiet local island with a couple of local restaurants worth trying.

The staff there are so nice and helpful. The location of this resort is perfect. Our intention for this trip was to swim with the Manta Rays and we're lucky to be able to see them 2 days in a row thanks to Mr.Risheen and the Liquid Salt diving staffs. The place is very clean the food is reasonably good. We'll definitely be back. The trip was unforgettable good experience.

We did miss our international flight cause our domestic flight to male was delayed so maybe best to give yourself tilde to get to the airport instead of cutting it close.

Fantastic!! They are so attentive about the mantas! It literally is manta madness there! Our room was super nice and beach lovely! Saw sea turtles, dolphins, reef sharks, rays and lots of fish right in their house reef! Staff super friendly and attentive! We got half board and it was worth it! Good food and a good quantity!

Nothing much, maybe would be nice if the Wi-Fi can be stronger inside the room. But we don’t really mind it, we were busy swimming anyway.

We really enjoyed our stay at Aveyla Manta Village, cause all the people there are so nice and genuinely kind. I will never forget how eager they are to ensure we get to see the Manta even tho it’s beyond their control as they are wild animals. Everyday the owner contacted the Ranger who do patrol around Hanifaru bay and once got permission he will fly his drones to see if any Manta sighted before letting us go to hanifaru bay. I was too keen to see this majestic creature, so we go on snorkeling trip everyday and remain standby in case any manta sighted. Luckily after 3 consecutive days of waiting I got to swam with Manta Ray up close for the first time in my life. Thank you so much for all the effort to make this happen! I really recommend to stay at Aveyla, the property is right in front of the bikini beach and they have a lot of sun beds for their guests!

Nothing, only wish I could stay for longer :D

Loved that everyone there (staff and guests) are super dedicated to seeing the mantas, the entire hotel would be on standby and be one of the first ones at Hanifaru Bay if mantas are spotted. The building is beautiful with a delightful courtyard, the rooms are spacious and clean, the beach front home reef is thriving, the food was delicious. The service was impeccable, Zimam confirmed my flight transfer within 1 day, Ryshyn and the Liquid Salt dive team are always brimming with passion.

The weather at the beginning of my stay, but hey ho, it was monsoon season so no surprise there. The second part of my one weeks stay was just brilliant and sunshine from morning till late!

What a lovely and welcoming place right at the bikini beach! The hotel is cared for, very clean and staff are friendly. Ahmed was always there to help and to give advice. It is nice to stay on a 'local' island to experience Maldivian life. There are shops, a restaurant and many boat activities on the island. The diving with the Mantas was fab. It was just the very beginning of the season but we were spoiled on our first dive and encountered 9 manta rays, all in touching distance. The dive centre is attached to Aveyla and great care is taken to choose the right sites for the day you are diving. If you are not diving then you will enjoy the house reef snorkling. Oh, and the breakfast offers you the best possible start into the day!

Nothing! Yes it's true there wasn't anything to complain about

The staff didn't leave a stone unturned to make us feel comfortable & give the information what we needed. Their hospitality was outstanding!! The location is superb!! 10 on 10 Ahemad was really helpful throughout from the time I enquired about the activities till I booked the room. I will def come here again & will recommend others to stay here. It's worth every single penny.

Nothing to not like although just one point; bring sea pumps for swimming because the coral is quite close to the beach front and whilst there are gaps it is easier to navigate through wearing the pumps. Once through the coral barrier, the sea is just magical.

You arrive, kick off your shoes for the entire stay and just exhale! It was one of the most relaxing holidays I have had. Hotel right on the beach, which is a bikini beach. Water clear and warm, grounds cleaned every morning. From our booking enquiries, which were handled by the consummate professional Ahmed, to the pick up at the local port- airline transfer from Male organised by Ahmed. Then there is wonderful Manesh our waiter who was always pleasant and willing to go the extra mile to give great service. Ahmed even bought us our walnuts and almonds from Male and my cigarettes, when I ran out. Furthermore they went fishing so that we had fresh fish on the menu which Ahmed prepared on the barbecue. This is such a laid back vibe that is good for the soul encouraged by Ahmed and the really cool owner Ryshyn, who is also good fun. This is a pretty hip place.

The hotel's location is fantastic, right in front of the beautiful Indian Ocean in a peaceful setting. Mr. Ahmed, owner of property is extremely kind and staff is prompt. All aquatic activities, including suba diving, were organised by them.

everything was perfect

Everything was perfect! The staff was super kind and helpful with everything. Ahmed helped us with organizing all transfers, what was real support for us. The room and the hotel is clean, you can walk barefoot everywhere. The breakfast is nice and plenteous, and the kitchen is good. The garden is beautiful and calm, and the beach in front of the house is bikini beach with a very nice housereaf. The dive centre (Liquid Salt) and Rishin is a real professional with uncountable experience and different programmes. Highly recommend them all! A real tropical feeling! :)
