Budget Hotels in North Ari Atoll

"The rooms were lovely and comfortable, and the house reef was very enjoyable for snorkeling. The ongoing construction across the way did not bother us at all during our stay. The restaurants and bars outside of the pool area were quite good and offered a much better experience overall. What disappointed us most was the pool service. Drink options were very limited and not very tasty or appealing. The sunset appetizers were also extremely limited and underwhelming. While there were definitely some positives, overall the stay was just okay and unfortunately not somewhere we would choose to return to."

"We stayed nights at Bandos then went to another resort for 6 nights. Bandos is great value. We stayed in the Premium Beach Villa. Definitely would pick that room again, IMO the water Villa is not worth the money. We also paid for the All Inclusive option, which was absolutely worth the money. Pros: amazing snorkelling from beach, great for families, good value. Cons: Lacks the luxury that you find in the Maldives. Food/Drinks quality was just average. Bandos was a perfect addition so we could stay longer in the Maldives without break the bank account. However, if we spent the whole time at Bandos, then we would’ve disappointed (because it’s hard not compare resorts)."

"A Tropical Paradise with Unmatched Hospitality ​Our stay at Centara Mirage Lagoon Maldives was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, the beauty of the resort was matched only by the incredible warmth and professionalism of the staff. ​While the culinary offerings across the entire resort were excellent, a special mention must go to Suan Bua. This Thai restaurant truly stands out—not just for the delicious, authentic flavors that transported us with every bite, but for its beautiful and serene atmosphere that makes for an unforgettable dining experience. ​The level of service we received was truly world-class, led by Tommy, an excellent restaurant manager who ensures everything runs seamlessly. The entire team is a credit to the resort, specifically: ​Nae, our waitress, who is incredibly beautiful and charismatic, making every meal feel like a special occasion. ​Chi, who defines professionalism with his attentive and expert service. ​Dele, the photographer, who has a fantastic eye and captured our memories perfectly. ​Overseeing this exceptional operation is the General Manager, Anastasia. She is an amazing leader—deeply professional, attentive to every detail, and incredibly friendly. It is clear that her dedication to guest satisfaction filters down through the entire team. ​If you are looking for a resort that combines stunning surroundings with a team that feels like family, Centara Mirage is the perfect choice. We cannot recommend it highly enough!"

The room was lovely and cleaned every day to a high standard Would highly recommend and will most certainly be back!"

"A very nice holiday"

"Wow."

"An absolutely incredible week at Oblu Select Sangeli. The staff were amazing, friendly, attentive and went above and beyond to make our trip enjoyable - we never had to wait for service for anything (drinks, when ordering at live cooking stations) which is just beyond expectations and a credit to the amazing staff. The range of food at the buffet with themed nights was amazing and meant we never got bored, and the dinners at Just Wok and Just Grill were delicious. Cocktails and wines were impeccable also. Rooms were turned around twice a day and amazingly clean, we sometimes spent time in our water villa during the day but never had to wait for cleaning service as it had already been done so efficiently whilst having breakfast or whilst at dinner. If you are snorkelling fans, the house reef is incredible and we saw thousands of tropical fish, reef sharks, stingrays and eagle rays just at the drop off near our villa. "
