Un séjour parfait! Un vrai coup de cœur.
Pros:

Un vrai coup de cœur ! Ambiance calme et reposante, lieux très propres, nourriture excellente et accès direct à la plage et à la mer. Les masques, tubas et palmes sont mis gratuitement à disposition, ce qui rend l’expérience encore plus agréable. Le personnel est très gentil et discret. Mention spéciale à Naeem, toujours disponible, même via WhatsApp.

Cons:

Il n’y a rien que nous n’ayons pas aimé.

Pros:

La struttura è accogliente, Mr. Naeem viene a prenderti direttamente al molo con la sua lapa e si occuperà della organizzazione in loco.
La comunicazione pre-soggiorno con Toriq è stata eccellente!
Nella bikini beach ci sono delle sdraio disponibili per gli ospiti della struttura, insieme ad attrezzatura per snorkeling.

Cons:

I letti sono davvero troppo morbidi e scomodi. Colazione molto minimale e sempre uguale. Non eseguono pulizia giornaliera e non cambiano gli asciugamani (ho soggiornato per 3 notti, non so se per soggiorni più lunghi possa essere diverso).
L’organizzazione per le escursioni va sollecitata e si programma giorno per giorno; in ogni caso siamo riusciti a vedere quello che desideravamo (anche se a volte con 10 minuti di preavviso)

Pros:

Хозяева гестхауса ответственно подходят к делу и всегда идут навстречу гостям: предупредили об отмене парома, раньше времени заселили в номер, дают необходимую информацию по острову. В связи с отсутствием свободных номеров нашей категории предоставили лучший без дополнительной оплаты. Также бесплатно предоставили поздний выезд. В гестхаусе имеются ласты и маски, которыми можно пользоваться бесплатно. Можно заказать ужины на территории гестхауса за дополнительную плату. В номере чисто, имеется все необходимое, в том числе и пляжные полотенца.

Un séjour 18 étoiles! Nous avons passé 11 nuits à Manta réserve, tout était toujours propre et facile d’accès. L’équipe
Pros:

Tout était incroyable! Nous avons mangé comme des rois (un énorme merci à Abinesh qui nous a régalé et était toujours soucieux de savoir si nous avions assez) et surtout… merci à Thoriq pour les activités, les conseils, les discussions nous avons pu nous immergé dans la culture et avons été chouchouté! Naeem qui était toujours présent, aux petits soins avec son humour discret et bienveillant. L’endroit va beaucoup nous manquer et nous avons rencontré des hommes avec le cœur sur la main! Nous vous conseillons vraiment d’y aller, durant nos 11 jours nous ne nous sommes pas ennuyés un instant! Nous n’avons pas les mots pour dire à quel point nous sommes reconnaissants d’avoir séjourné chez vous!

Serenity stay for family
Pros:

It was really peaceful, lovely place and all the staff were very helpful. They helped to arrange our speedboat transfer from Male. We booked a room with patio for a family of 4. There was a connecting room that was available and not occupied. We decided to take the room as we could have more space. The guesthouse was so generous and allowed us to have the room complimentry for our stay. Very thankful for the generous gesture.

Cons:

Wish there was more hot water available for shower as there are days that are slightly colder. Otherwise all was excellent

Maalhos
Pros:

Die gesamte Anlage ist schön gestaltet, sauber und gut ausgestattet. Für ein großes Angebot an Aktivitäten wird gesorgt - sofern gewünscht. Die Abholung vom Hafen war sehr gut, weil die Straßen nicht ausgebaut sind.

Cons:

Die Einstellung der Klimaanlage hat nicht so richtig funktioniert- es war sehr kalt. Eine dritte Alternative beim Frühstück wäre toll. Das ist jedoch Meckern auf hohem Niveau.

Très agréable séjour !!!
Pros:

Guesthouse très mignonne.
Chambre spacieuse et jolie.
Personnel très gentil.

Cons:

Juste, j’avais lu d’excellents commentaires concernant les repas et le chef, à priori il n’est plus là (où du moins pas durant notre séjour). Et le seul repas qu’on a pris était vraiment cher pour ce que c’était (comparativement aux prix des restaurants locaux).

Perfect stay
Pros:

Had the most amazing stay among the three islands we stayed during my trip. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and in the perfect location just steps from the beach. The staff were like family and helpful, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Excursions were unforgettable, especially snorkeling with manta rays and turtle point snorkeling. Truly a hidden gem – will definitely be back!
