Personale sempre gentile e disponibile e accogliente. Escursioni previste dalla struttura e dal diving molto belle Ma forse un po’ limitate. Camere spaziose isola non molto grande e mai caotica. Buffet sempre ricco e abbondante di tipo internazionale per tutti i gusti. Alcune stanze sono un po’ più interne e non sulla spiaggia.

島の大きさに反し、大きなハウスリーフとキレイな砂浜が特徴のリゾート。プールは、無い。また、部屋にTVも無い。 砂浜は、キレイだが、海に入ると落ち葉や枯れ枝が、沢山海中にある。キレイな海なのに残念であった。 部屋は、良く掃除されていた。大きな殺虫スプレーがあり、これを撒くと、あちこちに虫が落ちて来た。バスルームの窓口を、開けると虫が入る様だ。 ダイビングセンターのWebサイトがあり、翌日の案内や、ダイビングポイントの説明が詳細に載っているのが、とても良いと思われた。 比較的安いリゾートで、もっぱらダイビング、シュノーケリングに専念したい人には良いと思われた。

la struttura rispecchia le mie esigenze, apprezzo di non avere animazione, moto d'acqua, tv. e qualsiasi altra cosa che tolga tranquillità e silenzio.. Non mi piace che nelle immagini si vede ancora la lunga lingua di sabbia bianca che purtroppo non c'è piu in quanto erosa dal mare.

Buon compromesso qualità-prezzo. L'isola è parzialmente erosa, sono presenti muretti e scogli per salvare il salvabile ma le spiagge sono veramente limitate e non hanno più il fascino dei colori tipici delle Maldive. I bungalow sono divisi in più camere, semplici ma funzionali. Il punto forte del resort è sicuramente la barriera corallina, che sul lato più ventoso dell'isola è molto vicina e permette di nuotare con una spettacolare varietà di pesci.

Lækkert sted med super service

Dejlig ø, godt hotel og rigtig god service. Fine værelser lige ud til stranden, god buffet og bar. Mangler måske en lille kiosk med snacks, drikkevarer og is. Flotte fisk kan ses både fra strandkanten, snorkel og dykning. Vi var så heldige at se Manta Rays. Små sorttippede revhajer patruljerede ved strandkanten hele vejen rundt om øen.

Nice Resort

Nice place to relax. Lots of chairs and hammocks around. Very beautiful water. Couple of beaches to relax on. During low tide, shallow enough for children to play in. The rooms were nice and clean. Keep in mind, you may see occasional ants or cockroachs in them, just how nature works. If that bothers you, bring a can of roach spray (I'm sure most resorts have this issue) Food was average. A mixture of Western Food and local food. Not really that impressed. Water was reasonably priced at 3 USD per 1.5 liters. Staff were good in my opinion. Seperate dive shop on the Island. Didn't dive, but the prices for the snorkel and kayak rentsl were reasonable. Though I realized they overcharged me for a kayak. Pay attention to the prices when paying at the dive shop which is not part of the resort. No coral around the island, it's all been destroyed, so that distracts from the beauty but some fish can be seen.

シンプルで気楽な心地よいホテルでした。

2019年のGWに行った初めてのモルディブでした。GWだったので日本人は私たちの他10組くらいいらっしゃいました。客層はファミリーからお一人まで様々でした。ホテルのある島はこじんまりとしてちょうどいい大きさでした。ビーチコテージに7泊しました。シンプルな部屋でしたが、掃除はきれいに行き届いていたと思います。バスタブはありませんでした。ビーチタオル、シャンプー、ボディウオッシュ、石鹸１つは備え付けてありました。水はビンのボトル（１L)に一日2本もらえます。湯沸かしポットがあったので、毎日紅茶を飲んでいました。冷蔵庫も空っぽですが、レストランで大きな1.5L入りの水を買うことができます。レストランの人たちや客室の清掃担当の人たちはとても感じよく接してもらいました。 シュノーケル目的で行ったのですが、残念ながらサンゴはほとんど死んでしまっていましたが、魚は大小色々見ることができ、また数も非常に多かったです。 チェックイン時に日本語のホテルや海での説明が書かれている紙をもらうのですが、それに海へ行く際の注意や説明を18時からフロントでやりますあったので、行ってみたのですが、行ってみると「ドイツ語でしかありません。分からないことはダイビングルームまで聞きに行ってください」と言われました。英語での説明があると思っていたので残念でした。

Ile hôtel sympa, chambre grande et propre, sympa d'avoir 2 b d'eau par jour. Rasheed très sympa nous a changé de chambre selon notre souhait. Au niveau marin : corail blanchit mais pareil pour toutes les iles des Maldives. Par contre faune aquatique extra. Tortues, muraines, requins pointes noires, requins pointes blanches, poulpes, et bien sur tous les poissons colorés des Maldives petits et grands. Les deux points noirs de cet hôtel à notre avis sont : 1/ la dureté des matelas (pb ds toutes les chambres). 2/ les consommations (pas d'eau à table ds la pension complète). Surtout soyez très attentif à signer à chaque fois le reçu de vos consommations et bien garder ce reçu, car le boss du bar et les serveurs n'hésitent pas à vous compter 2 fois les boissons (ils fonctionnent sur un carnet A3 sur lequel chaque serveur note les boissons consommés par chambre et cela varie bcp en fonction des serveurs, bref comme le système n'est pas informatisé, il faut palabrer pdt des heurs pour justifier ou non d'une consommation non prise ou prise) donc résumé bien garder vos tickets de boisson si vous n'êtes pas en all inclusive.

Stunning island, a real paradise! The bungalows were OK, nothing fancy, but clean. I didn't sleep very well though during my 7-night stay because of the super hard mattrasses, the fruit bats feasting over my roof the whole night which was extremely loud and the ants in my room that even made it into my bed. The staff was so lovely and friendly, the food was spectacular and the island itself was the most beautiful place you can imagine, so it was a pleasant stay overall.
