A wonderful hotel. The room is clean. They clean up on request, but they don't bother you. We liked the breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Everything is delicious. It's almost monotonous every day, but there are plenty to choose from (rice, pasta noodles, potatoes, fish in various interpretations, chicken, salad). They take it out a little, but when they sort it out, they report. The juice-smoothie in this hotel is incomparable (I didn't like the juice at the resort as much as I did here). Excursions (to the resort, sharks, turtles, fish) can be purchased at this hotel, and Zizu will help you with this. If you have any questions, you can contact him, he will explain everything. The beach is nearby. The island is small, it's interesting to get around it and look into every corner.

The price-quality ratio is adequate. The rooms have a little tired plumbing, but everything is clean, the water is always hot without interruptions-rating : like a good three in Turkey and better than a four in Egypt. the service is not intrusive - but they do everything on request: they changed the non-freezing refrigerator for me. cleaning is only in your presence, because you will have the key to the safe on the room key (tips will speed up the process). There are no balconies on the ground floor (if this is important, keep in mind, although you can smoke in the lobby), but I was comfortable, since mosquitoes mercilessly eat me with the windows open, take a balcony - take repellents. The breakfasts are monotonous, but you will not stay hungry, there are shops and restaurants nearby. Bikini beach is a 3-minute walk away, along the way there is a wonderful restaurant Chambao where Russian-speaking Elena creates a cozy atmosphere and very tasty lunch -dinners 15-20 and a wonderful hookah 15th (I recommend). regarding excursions, it is better to take a Ziza from the hotel guide, of course there is also a Bubbles tour, but there you yourself should gather in a group, because all excursions in the Maldives are carried only from a certain number of people, the price difference is not big.the shallow beach is good for relaxing with children, you can swim with a mask near the port - the half-dead coral reef (alas, it suffered from the storm and local pollution) is quite saturated with fish, black-finned reef sharks swim.

excellent hotel and very friendly staff. there are not many guests, this leaves its mark and makes it necessary to save wherever possible, but if you are unassuming and ready to understand some of the disadvantages, then you will be quite satisfied with your vacation

This is not a typical Maldives. This is an island with locals, not a resort. No one will lick your heels there.
Excellent, measured rest, with water activities. I swam with sharks, stingrays. I enjoyed the underwater world. Not a bit worse than the red sea.
I advise this atoll, it is very rich in various types of fish. There are living, breathing corals within 3 meters from the shore.

Hello everyone!
It's been a few days since our trip to the Maldives.
Initially, I chose the tour, as it came out cheaper, taxes, transfers do not need to think about anything, and this is not the country to buy everything separately, as a result it will turn out more.
After buying the tour, we received an alert from sun fun that they say your arrival is not like that, you do not want to change tickets for more expensive, otherwise we are not responsible if you are not picked up, thinking that we arrive at 6 a.m. well, obviously someone will pick us up, so we did not change anything. And
We flew gulf air Moscow-Bahrain, Bahrain-Male (back the same way)
The docking there was 8 hours, back 11.
Having taken care in advance, I wrote to gulf air by mail, having found out all the details of the flight, and the docking, that is, what we have included, from 7 o'clock they issue a transfer, a hotel, visas (you need to pay $ 15 in any case if you go out)
But we decided not to worry and refused to leave, we were provided with an excellent hotel at the airport, already at the boarding gate, we slept and rested. Everything was fine with us .
The airlines are not bad, we flew in the morning from Moscow, breakfast was well, the omelet turned out to be very spicy, we ate salad and fruits from everything, and there were juices and alcohol, but already from BAHRAIN in Male there was a very decent lunch, spaghetti or rice with chicken, a little later they brought a snack of nuts, not bad in general.,the films are mostly Indian, which was confusing .
We arrived in Male at 6 a.m., we have a Local island of Gureido, called the administrator at the hotel, they took us away, but asking if we wanted to wait for a free speed bot or if there was an opportunity to sit down now and leave for $ 25, we decided to wait, since we work online, we could work this time at the airport, where there is Internet .
They put us in a boat and took us to Male, where we waited for the boat to fill up and went to our island. We arrived at the hotel for lunch, 45-50 minutes drive from Male to Guraido.
We got out of the guest house ocean retreat and spa, we expected the worst, but it turned out to be very good.
The room was given on the 2nd floor, there is a towel in the room, 1.5 liters of water per day, coffee,shampoos and gels are not available, they were cleaned every 2 days or on request.
We had meals for breakfast, lunch.dinners , I read a lot that the food was not very tasty, we really liked it, a variety of food, sometimes a buffet, sometimes they brought it themselves, they ate too much. Fruits, freshly squeezed juice were given. Rice with vegetables, plain rice,potatoes, beef, chicken, vegetables are all in abundance.
Not far from bikini beach, we bought an excursion to swim with sharks, liked it, bargained up to $ 50 per person, had lunch, a sandbar, stingrays,turtles, dolphins, in general everything was cool.
We rested for 9 nights, 10 days.
The flight back at 19:00 was to Bahrain, we were picked up and brought on time.
This is our first time in the Maldives and we really enjoyed it. Especially the price of the tour was very tasty, I caught this tour at different sites for 4 days and caught it for 159,000 for two people in 10 days.
Souvenirs were bought on the island all for a dollar 😀

One of the best hotels on the local island of Guraido. The best rooms are on the 3rd floor, overlooking the sea. They have a wonderful balcony from which you can see stunning sunsets and sunrises. Half of the hotel rooms, with city views, have no balcony at all (!) The rooms on the 1st floor have only a semblance of a balcony. On the 4th floor of the hotel there is a spa area, that is, sun beds and tables. There is an outdoor Jacuzzi (on the roof, overlooking the ocean) not filled with water, but it is only for guests of VIP rooms. The food at the hotel is edible, but monotonous. If you take breakfast + dinner, then it is quite enough. Lunch can be purchased for $ 6 per person. Room cleaning needs to be caught. The sign on the door and the magic dollar left behind helped. Shampoos are given only on arrival, once, then they are not replenished. The room has a kettle and refrigerator, safe, air conditioning. At the entrance to the hotel, you can take flippers and a mask to use, for free. There are several beautiful beaches near the hotel, the purest water, corals and fish are amazing! At the hotel, you can buy excursions from the Zizu guide. We traveled in a group from the hotel, 8-10 people each, he always gave us low prices. Be sure to come to the local island, do not hesitate! It's a great vacation, 10/10

If there are any questions, it's more about the island, not the hotel. The beach is three minutes away, but the beach itself is not equipped. Initially, it was blocked by a grid, but over time the entire grid broke and the sight is depressing. There are good "tents" (I don't know what else to call a structure made of wooden pillars and a thatched roof. You can hide from the sun under them and they look very interesting, but there are few of them, about 10 and of course there are not enough for everyone. There are no sun beds. More precisely, there is, but almost all are broken. 4-5 pieces on which you can lie, the rest should be arranged on stones, put something. The guest house is not bad. The rooms are clean, and that's the main thing. The room has a kettle, cups, tea, coffee, sugar. Refrigerator, air conditioning. The food for the first two days did not seem bad (we took breakfast and dinner). And then it's the same thing and very little of everything. Three people put it on their plates and there is nothing else. Of course, they still take it out, but not immediately and not quickly. We came to dinner several times right at the beginning, we were fifth in line and there was nothing but rice. It's a small thing, of course, but... We did not regret choosing this particular island and hotel because of the sea. Of course, the beach is poorly equipped, but the sea itself, the sand, the entrance to the water - everything is perfect. We enjoyed the sea every day. The beaches on other local islands are worse. We didn't see it ourselves, but we talked with tourists who visited several local islands in one trip and everyone says that this island is better than others because of the sea

The island itself is interesting. It's not long to sail from the airport, good transport supply. The guest house left an unpleasant impression. Concerned manager and staff. They immediately try to buy excursions at a very high price and to buy everything from them at once for the entire period of stay. Breakfast according to the principle of who did not have time, he was late, because the buffet is not much updated. Careful, girls! On excursions, the staff tries to take pictures of you secretly. Two stars for the price, but does not compensate for the service. And in no case do not take a room on the ground floor because there is a musty smell of humidity

I liked everything, the rooms are cleaned on demand. A small, cozy hotel on the island of Goraido, Maldives.
