"Great place to stay, the staff are nice, good breakfast, they were able to do us an early breakfast before our dives. Shariq was able to sort out our delayed baggage from male which was a life saver!"
"My experience at Ocean Retreat & Spa was overall disappointing. While the hotel is clean and initially felt welcoming, that impression quickly faded. The manager was very warm and friendly when we arrived, but his attitude changed drastically once the payment was made—he became cold, distant, and uninterested. It was clear that he was more focused on profit than on guest satisfaction.
As for the island of Guraidhoo, it’s quiet but there’s very little to do. It might be suitable for a short...
"Como Cocoa is paradise on earth. This is now our favourite resort and we can’t wait to return. The resort is stunning with all rooms sitting over the water in the beautiful lagoon. The house reef is exceptional and the dive staff were knowledgeable and safe. The staff are friendly and professional, often greeting you by name, and are clearly happy in their work. Special mention goes to the chef, who makes the most delicious food and is very accommodating with the menu choices. "
"I had a pleasant stay at Alaika Hotel in Maafushi. The hotel is clean, well-maintained, and the staff are very professional. Everything was well-organized, and I felt taken care of throughout my stay. Maafushi is also the most active and tourist-friendly island I visited, with plenty of activities, restaurants, and excursions available.
One small downside: there are only two rooms upstairs that get natural light, and unfortunately, we didn’t get one of them. Still, it didn’t take away from the...
"Incredibly friendly place, always trying to help you in whatever they can, if one day I'm coming back to Maafushi I'm staying there again for sure.
Thank you for everything."

10/10 Excellent
"Food was amazing, but the same food every day, except for one BBQ day.
The room was excellent with a spectacular view of the sea and birds chirping.
There was no problem with the internet, but there were times when there was no signal.
Overall, I recommend everyone to stay, and the employees treat customers with the same level of class as the customers treat them."
"Great island with great clean beaches and calm environment with so much experience of the stad. So everything was so professional. Food was the top most great thing. And the nearby reefs are great for snorkeling. Diving center, evening activities at the club were also perfect. "
Adaaran Club Rannalhi - 45 Minutes away from Male by Speedboat
10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay at Adaaran Club Rannalhi and would definitely recommend it to families and couples alike. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed with a comprehensive and professional briefing by Ollie, who set the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable stay.
The stunning white sandy beaches, crystal-clear water, and excellent snorkelling make this a true Maldivian paradise. Whether you want to mingle or find a quiet corner to unwind, there’s plenty of space to do both.
The buffet meals at breakfast, lunch, and dinner were a standout — probably the best selection I’ve come across in my extensive travels. The food caters to a wide range of tastes and dietary needs. A special shoutout to Moosa in the restaurant — his warmth, humour, attentive service, and even napkin artistry added a personal touch that made every meal feel special.
Housekeeping was also excellent, with twice-daily service that was always prompt and of high quality.
A few areas for improvement: the inclusive drink selection is lacking — low-end spirits, frequently substituted brands, only one beer on tap, and cocktails made from overly sweet, pre-mixed syrups. Also, the spa services and excursions are priced far too high for the all-inclusive market segment the resort is targeting, which seems to deter many guests from taking part.
Overall, a great resort with friendly service, incredible scenery and outstanding food — just a few tweaks would take it from great to exceptional."
"I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the wonderful experience we had at your beautiful island resort during our anniversary celebration.
From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning surroundings, including the beautiful water and the luxurious new villas. The complimentary chocolate, bottle of wine, and free photo shoot were delightful touches that made our stay even more special.
We were fortunate enough to witness the vibrant marine life, including sharks, a large stingray, and a variety of fishes during our snorkeling adventures. The overwater villas were remarkable, allowing us to jump right into the water and snorkel every day, which added to the overall enjoyment of our stay.
The buffet spread was impressive, offering a wide variety of delicious options. I would also like to commend your amazing staff, particularly Mr. Nasir from the restaurant, who greeted us with a contagious smile that truly warmed our hearts.
We look forward to returning to your resort for another unforgettable experience!"
