Wonderful local experience
Pros:

I stayed here 2 weeks and had a great experience. It was more than I was expecting and Wilson looked after me well. Breakfast was included, alternated continental and Maldivian. Dinners were also good. Room cleaned regularly and was comfortable for that amount of time. The bikini beach is close as well with a good area to swim and snorkel. The hotel also do snorkelling tours which was very handy and at very reasonable prices. Dharavandhoo locals were very welcoming and enjoyed evenings down at the fish market watching the rays and sharks. Would definitely come back again.

Allez y et prenez le tout compris c'est hyper bon.
Pros:

Alors pas où commencer? J'y étais hier alors que la je suis chez moi dans mon canapé...
C'est la première fois que j'hésite entre un 9 et un 10.
J'ai la chance d'avoir vu énormément de pays , de logements décevants à d'incroyables surprises.
Le violet n'est pas le palace que j'avais au mexique ni l'hôtel de miami ou était Will smith...et pourtant...
J'ai adoré.
On a choisi ces vacances sur le coup, marre de la pluie.on a fait au moins cher en se disant on s'en fout de l'hôtel on y va pour le soleil et la plage ( formidable en passant).
Donc on a pris tout inclus à 500 la semaine, au maldives c'est vraiment donné.
Et la, problèmes reccurent de bateau qui n'est pas l'heure pour nous emmener de l'aéroport à l'hôtel, on s'inquiétait, on appelle l'hôtel...
Il a tout géré, il a appelé le bateau pour savoir où il était, nous a rappelé pour nous dire que ça allait qu'il arrivait( c'était vrai).
Ils sont venus nous chercher au port en voiture alors que ce n'était pas prévu.
La chambre très propre , clim et ventilation.
Très propre.
Les repas, franchement prenez en tout inclus, il y a pas beaucoup de restaurant l'as bas et celui là est top.
Babu ( le cuisinier, homme d'accueil, et notre référent) est au top.je pense qu'on a grossis à manger tout ca.( prenez Chili chicken, c'est top, j'en mangeais tous les soirs).
On avait l'impression d'être dans un hôtel mais presque maison d'hôtes, c'est bizarre comme découverte. On a adoré.
L'emplacement est top , plage 20metres.
Les habitants tous super gentils.
Île très très propre.aucun dechets.vraiment aucun.
Fond marin au top.
Nous avons choisis excursions tortues avec l'hôtel à 80 dollars pour deux. On a vu pleins de tortues.le soir le responsable de l'hôtel, nous a rendu 10euros car selon lui on avait payé trop cher par rapport au prix du dollar par rapport à l'euro...( qui fait ça?

Cons:

La chaleur!!! J'ai brûlé en une journée...mettez de la crème !!!!

Pros:

Great location in the built-up part of the island, very friendly and helpful staff. Stylish lobby where breakfast was served. Breakfast was tasty, but portions were smaller especially for teenage sons :-D The rooms were furnished sparingly, but functionally, we didn't miss anything. Fine sand is part of the location, it was also in the hotel, unfortunately it also got into the room, but the staff cleaned it diligently every day. The hotel is a great choice, affordable. It does not offer luxury, but an authentic stay in the part of the island where the locals live. The owner is able to organize a number of activities, including a trip to Hanufaru Bay. The location is quiet, the terrace has a beautiful view of the ocean, it is a few steps to the beach, restaurants and shops (as on the whole island :-D) And the snorkeling at the reef is truly spectacular!

Cons:

The air conditioning is quite noisy, I had to turn it off at night. I then had to keep the window open, but there were air conditioning units from other rooms underneath it. Moreover, the window wouldn't stay open, I had to make do with a wedge.

Good economical hotel close to bikini beach and harbour
Pros:

Staff were excellant in arranging pick-up from ferry and drop-off at airport. They also run their own excusions even for one person!
Bed was one of the most comfortable in 5-6 weeks of travelling
Beach towels and snorkling area were available at no charge.

Cons:

Not a fan of the sandy beach interior.
Bathroom had a lingering odour.

Pros:

Великолепное расположение, близко до пляжа. Хозяин очень приветливый. Встретил у причала, вызвал транспорт, чтобы отвезти рано утром в аэропорт. Вместо завтрака с собой очень рано приготовили хороший завтрак! Удобно останавливаться для дайвинга, на экскурсии в Ханифару Бэй. Очень близко к пляжу и порту. В номере чисто, номер большой на втором этаже. На балконе можно пить кофе. Внизу есть кипяток, чай, кофе. Спасибо большое, все очень понравилось!

Pobyt cudowny
Pros:

Bardzo dobra obsługa, korzystaliśmy z dwóch wycieczek na rekiny wielorybie i manty. Super wycieczki - polecam. Plaża blisko, chodziliśmy na boso, leżaki i ręczniki prane codziennie. Wszystko na miejscu było zgodne z opisem. Transport łódką też załatwili, a samolot na koniec pobytu też. Nic nie musieliśmy same robić, wszystko załatwił hotel. Jesteśmy zachwycone!!!

One of the best times in my life
Pros:

I spent 2 weeks at the violet inn and I can highly recommend it. Thanks Wilson, who managed all (inkl. Pick up airport, transfer to airport) and Babu the cook who prepared me as a vegetarian a phantastic vegetarian dinner every day. For breakfast you can choose international or Maldivian style. They offer toast, butter, marmelade, eggs, tuna, bread, orange, apple, coffee, tea.. Both guys were very friendly and helpful.
I had a very nice spacious room with a new bathroom on the first floor with access to a shared terrace with view to the ocean. Der room service was also perfect. Wifi worked every where in the hotel perfectly.
I will also recommend Afu and his guide. They give you actual informations about the places where Mantas and Whalesharks are seen. I had a few unforgettable boat trips with Afu.. It keeps unforgettable.
I were so so lucky to swim with 100 + Mantas and 7 whale sharks. It was the best I've ever experienced under water.
I'm more than happy and more than grateful for my beautiful stay on Dharavandhoo in the violet inn hotel.
