This is by far the best hotel on Guraidhoo Island. It is located on the central street with shops and at the same time on the beach. The hotel has its own bikini beach, fenced with deckchairs and canopies. Postcard beach. The hotel staff are extremely friendly and helpful people. All requests are fulfilled immediately. Great apartments on its own upstairs with a huge terrace and a wonderful view of the ocean. Rooms and bathrooms clean and tidy. Cleaned daily and bottled water provided. Air conditioning and fan work perfectly. Manager Zizu very helpful, competent and patient. The cuisine is indisputably the best on the island. People from other hotels booked our restaurant reservations and that means something. Varied and delicious meals. I recommend Zizu's sandbank trips, swimming with sharks and manta rays, snorkeling and traditional fishing followed by grilling. To sum up, this is a great family hotel that offers really high quality for a good price. Dear Abdul who helped us with practically everything. Paradise holidays, jaw-dropping views and great attractions with a thrill. With a clear conscience. We highly recommend.

“Rustic island without the frills of bigger islands”

Our 2nd week on Maldives having been to Maldives 9 years ago. New to this island. It reminds me of what Maafushi was probably like 20 years ago.

Our 2nd week on Maldives having been to Maldives 9 years ago. New to this island. It reminds me of what Maafushi was probably like 20 years ago. I can see it ending up like Maafushi with 50 hotels and tons of restaurants. At the moment it is quite untouched. Very reasonable priced hotels. I paid £50 a night for our room for 2. This was more a rustic guest house rather than hotel. There is NO LIFT. I have severe walking difficulties so found our room on the third floor difficult to get to. Everything you would expect in this rustic guest house. Although there for 6n not once was ANY of our 3 rooms cleaned. No towels changed etc. Breakfast was sufficient but basic buffet. toast and croissants provided as well as boiled eggs, 'chicken' sausages and kind of turkey bacon. Usual cereals and 'fruit' juices/tea/coffee. Took about 10 mins to walk to bikini beach. Don't be fooled with the hotel photos as it looks like they have their own beach. There is a terrace on the top floor with an old indoor jacuzzi bath (but not switched on or any water). This terrace had beautiful sea views. Also bikini beach is very beautiful but not very good due to seating. It is clean. sea is beautiful but it lacks basic amenities. There are about 8-10 double sunbeds covered areas but that's it. There's the odd couple of broken damaged sunbeds but that's it. Only a couple of palm trees providing shade. Think this island could make a fortune if they had sunbeds for hire. As previously stated I have mobility issues so getting actually down on the beach is difficult for me so this impaired my experience. Limited number of places to eat at night and more expensive than other islands. Much quieter pace of life on this island. My party of 6 preferred this island than the busier Maafushi (however, I preferred Maafushi). I think in the future this will be a very populated island. So if you like rustic, quiet islands with very little to do it will suit you. But your options are limited here.
