    Amazing experience swimming woth sharks and stingrays

    Wifi is very poor No tv in the room ( this was the deluxe room ) and it’s 2024 even 2 stars motels has tvs The food is very limited mostly fish we had full board included but we end up eating in other restaurants some times as the food very boring Now the negative things about the island I’ve been on other local islands and private resorts so I can tell the difference Not much vegetation on the island there are more buildings then palm trees, a lot of rubbish around and a lot of artificial staff that takes away the true feeling of a tropical Maldivian island A lot of construction going on that takes the tropical vibes away If it wasn’t for the sharks and stingrays I’ll say that I’ve regretted visiting this island, as it’s definitely not a cheap island to visit

    The location it’s very good, we had the top floor room with an amazing balcony and view The room is big and spacious, the bed it’s very nice and big The staff especially the lady manager she is very very helpful with everything you need Positive things about the island itself: water is nice and clear, the bikini beach it’s very nice with soft white sand Good snorkeling if you adventure further on the left side of the island We had amazing experience swimming with a lot of nurse sharks We played with a lot of stingrays We found a local guy that given us private and cheaper deals then most of the guest houses can offer ( walk around and talk to the locals, they will look after you )

    The double room was quite small for three of us, but if we were about to go back to Fulidhoo, I think we would still book again.

    Absolutely fantastic location, a few minutes walk from the bikini beach. Delicious local food, with enough options for each of us. Big thank you to the staff. You were amazing! Nothing was too much trouble, always smiling and very welcoming. The manager came to greet us on arrival and to say goodbye when we were leaving at 6.00 in the morning. They also prepared cooked breakfast for us on that day. The rooms were cleaned every day, cleaning staff always smiling and helpful. They were renovating the rooms when we stayed, so it's going to be even better going forward. We had a fantastic holiday ♡

    Very nice beach hotel, near the bikini beach, easy to find/reach from the jetty, like 2 steps from the jetty. Nice room, cozy with AC. Cleaning was made every day, the options for the breakfast, lunch and dinner can be found at the hotel/area, food tasty. There are some small shops in the area too. Personal very polite and helpful with the speed boat transfer, excursion and other additional information. Special thanks to Faisal and Shaa for the help. In the future for sure will book again.

    Slow WiFi

    Very close to the beach, they have the best part of the island (not windy and sandy beach without rough elements) Gamili the Chief makes so delicious food! It’s not true the food gets monotonous after couple of days. For breakfast you have buffet and it’s different every day. For sweet meals one day pancakes, another handmade bread and sweet croissants ( sooooo delicious )or french toast. For savory meals one day you get Maldivian mas huni, the other boiled egg, etc. Dinner is different everyday and so tasty! Recommend dinner cause they serve it on the beach! The staff so friendly and helpful!

    No box at the shower, so the whole bathroom gets wet. Lack of ventilation (difficult to dry wet clothes). Insuficient lighting in the room. Wooden structures that do not go well in a humid environment. Shallow communication during the excursions.

    Airco and ceiling fun worked very well. Friendly staff (specially the chef who always did his ultimate best). Easy communication during the planning phase of the trip. Great location!

    Very helpful Employees, nice terrace on top room, dinner was lovely prepared at the beach. Especially because of our early domestic departure flight, Faisal arranged, that the morning speedboat operated half an hour earlier, we got the flight. Thanks.

    The rooms are very neat and just beside the beach. The service here is extremely delightful. People are very caring and helpful. They arranged an exclusive shark and turtle watching for us. Extremely happy with our stay here. They specially made Indian food for us which was very tasty
