Best stay in the Maldives !
Pros:

We loved so much our stay. From the beginning until the end, the staff helped and assisted us. They came at the harbour to pick us up, they organised the excursions for us, they made breakfast, which was very good.
The room is well equipped, clean and the bed is very comfortable.
The beach is at 2 min.
The terrace is very agreeable.
It really felt like home, it was our best stay in the Maldives !
Thanks

Wspaniałe miejsce z pomocnym personelem, komfortowym pokojem i świetną lokalizacją blisko pięknej plaży.
Pros:

Nasz pobyt w GH był wspaniałym doświadczeniem. Personel okazał się niezwykle pomocny i zaangażowany – wsparli nas we wszystkim, od organizacji transportu po zakup biletów powrotnych do Male. Czuliśmy się naprawdę zaopiekowani na każdym etapie wyjazdu.

Sam pensjonat zrobił na nas bardzo dobre wrażenie. Pokój był wygodny i przestronny, świeża, pachnąca pościel, klimatyzacja działała bez zarzutu, a duża łazienka była dodatkowym atutem.

Prawdziwą perełką jest jednak lokalizacja – zaledwie kilka kroków od przepięknej Bikini Beach. Ogromnym plusem jest również wspólny, klimatyczny taras z widokiem na otaczającą zieleń, idealny do relaksu po dniu pełnym wrażeń.

Z całego serca polecamy to miejsce i z przyjemnością wrócilibyśmy ponownie ❤️

Cons:

Wszystko idealne

Awesome staff, great place to stay
Pros:

Amazing place to stay on Maamigili. Very close to the bikini beach/guest beach. Rooms are clean and bed is comfortable. The island is very calm and has a nice relaxing vibe. But the personal is of White Sand Inn is why you want to come here. Holy cow, they step it up when it comes to service. They really try to make your stay as comfortable as possible. First of all we got picked up from the ferry, nice! And from that point onwards they tried to facilitated in every manor possible. Amazing. Big shout out to Farid and the main man, Rakib. Thanks for making our stay a 5 star experience.

Pros:

Отель очень близко к бикини пляжу(2 минуты). Пляж не плохой ( есть с чем сравнивать). Полностью оборудованный( душевые, туалет и т.д.) Отличный хозяин Umar Zahir. Лично встретил в порту. Всегда на связи. Оперативно решает любые вопросы в пользу клиента. Персонал тоже старается. Мы брали полный пансион - всегда были сыты. Отличный вариант за свои деньги !

Perfect location
Pros:

Absolutely everything but mainly the staff, they make sure that you spend the best time ever.

Cons:

The only thing i can say is that the sink in the bathroom is really small and not really comfortable. But it’s a really minor thing.

Great
Pros:

Nice manager and Service give awesome experience and great breakfast. The room is clean and comfortable and the AC .shower is convenient. And well done. The activity we ordered has super surprised. Every time the landlord picks us up to go to the speedboat that’s very kind .Six days is so short for a nice invitation. So I think I will back in the future.

Superb
Pros:

The accommodation was very clean and located just a few minutes from Bikini Beach. The surroundings were very calm. Rakib, the person who took care of us at the accommodation, and the owner were both very helpful and friendly. They helped arrange various interesting trips for us, as well as transfers to Maamigili and our next destination.

Cons:

Mosquitoes - don't forget to bring mosquito repellent — although you can also buy it in local shops. Also, Bikini Beach could benefit from a bit of renewal.

A peaceful and welcoming stay in a relaxing and quiet location
Pros:

The guesthouse arranged our pick-up and drop-off to the transfer boat, which was very convenient. They can also assist with booking transfers to and from Malé, which is a helpful service.

We especially enjoyed the outdoor terrace - it was a lovely space where we spent long evenings playing cards and peaceful mornings working. Having access to a water station and complimentary coffee throughout the day was a great touch. The staff were friendly and responsive throughout our stay.

The guesthouse is located away from the main centre but right next to Bikini Beach, which was perfect for us as we preferred a quieter, more secluded setting.

We also really appreciated the thoughtful touches and overall hospitality!

Cons:

A couple of suggestions for improvement: it would be great to have a larger duvet that properly fits the double bed - we had a single-sized one, which felt a bit small. The mattress was also quite firm, so a more comfortable option would be appreciated.

Adding some extra drawer space for clothes would help with organisation. Since we had access to the outdoor terrace, the office table in the room wasn’t essential.

Lastly, while breakfast was pleasant with eggs, fruit, and bread, it could be improved with additional options such as sausages or a traditional Maldivian dish.
