"We liked the fact that the property is next to the beach, however they forgot to book our boat from the airtport to Liberty and they did not arrange alternative accomodation while we waited for the afternoon boat. After providing an offer for one excursion they were not proactive in offering other activities. While we understand the issue of poor logistics in getting food to the island, food quality was poor and lacked variety. I would give it one star. I will not be a repeat custumer. "
"Beautiful place and great service. Food is great. Walkable to sand bar. Otherwise take taxi. The hotel can arrange for this. Affordable fishing activity. "
"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...
"Leider kein Frühstück im Gästehaus, mussten in eine Snackbar. Jeden Tag das exakt gleiche Frühstück. 3Toast mit 1Spiegelei, 2 Würstchen , ein Klecks Butter und Marmelade. 2Flaschen Wasser. 1Kaffee oder 1 Tasse Tee. Leider auf der ganzen Insel das einzigste zum Essen, die anderen hatten alle geschlossen. Schöner erholsamer Urlaub, viel Ruhe.
Der Gastgeber ist sehr nett und Hilfsbereit, mit etwas Geduld kümmert er sich um Alles. Die Strände sind traumhaft."
"We had a wonderful time @Whaleshark beach hotel. We felt very welcome and safe. Good location right in a middle of the village, close to the beach and shops. Strong wifi, good restaurant and possibility to book a tour. Special thanks to the friendly staff! "
"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! "
"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...

Machchafushi Island Resort & Spa Maldives, The Centara Collection
5/5 Excellent
"Our holiday was nothing short of amazing! The rooms were comfortable, with AC and a mini fridge replenished daily. Housekeeping was impeccable, and stepping outside led directly to the beach. Safety was a priority, with life jackets for the whole family.
Snorkelling, paddleboarding, and kayaking were available at the Best Dive kiosk, with helpful and knowledgeable staff. We took a sunset boat tour and saw hundreds of dolphins—truly unforgettable! Joe and Alex made scuba diving an excellent experience, guiding my husband step by step.
Beyond the sea and infinity pool, there was plenty to do: a well-equipped gym, tennis court, and a games room with pool, darts, ping pong, PlayStation, and air hockey. The spa was the perfect place to unwind—Pin’s full-body massage was bliss! The island shop stocked essentials like sunglasses and sunscreen.
To keep mosquitoes at bay, the island was sprayed daily, though bringing insect repellent is wise. Dining was spectacular, with three restaurants: The Reef (buffet), Mare Azzurro (Italian, booking needed), and Suan Buan (Thai, booking needed). The staff were outstanding—Kal ensured my son got his burger, and May, June, Vivek, Sunny, and Habib provided top-notch service.
Refreshing drinks by the pool added to the experience—Siva and Ajith made dreamy caipirinhas and perfect milkshakes! The kids' club was a hit, with creative and sporty activities led by Yummi and Naba. Our time here was unforgettable, and we can't wait to return!"

"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 at Conrad Maldives Rangali Island was nothing short of amazing. We stayed in a beach villa that offered the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and direct access to the pristine shoreline—waking up to the sound of the waves was pure magic.
Dining at Vilu Restaurant and Sunset Grill was a highlight—both offered incredible food, beautiful views, and impeccable service. The team across the resort truly made us feel welcome and taken care of throughout our stay.
We enjoyed a great mix of relaxation and adventure. The snorkeling and sunset fishing excursions were memorable, and we had a blast with the watersports—especially kayaking, paddleboarding, and jet skiing. The spa was a serene haven; an experience that left us feeling completely refreshed.
This trip was the perfect escape, and we’re already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend Conrad Maldives to anyone seeking luxury, tranquility, and top-notch hospitality in a breathtaking setting."
