Pros:

We were looking for a local island close to the airport while trying to find a flight back to Europe. Hotel Arrival seemed like the most modern and nicest hotel on the island based on our walks around. The island itself is very small and relatively underdeveloped, but it has really beautiful beaches and great opportunities for snorkeling. Our daughter especially loved all the animals - parrots, shark feeding, we saw dolphins from balcony, excursions, and more. The hotel felt almost brand new, was very clean, and the housekeeping was excellent. I would give it a 8.5 stars

Cons:

Except breakfast only minor issues, such as the balcony door being difficult to close and the bathroom not being very comfortable.

Ghuly è perfetta per una vacanza tranquilla e non troppo costasa
Cons:

Il personale dovrebbe comunicare la disponibilità di servizio come i teli , la spiaggia, le dotazioni sub senza che il cliente debba scoprirlo da sé.

Pros:

Great island to visit. Hotel and room was lovely. Great breakfast.

Cons:

Arrived and was given the wrong room, but staff fixed this issue. Chose this hotel for its massage spa. I tried to make a booking and was told to go to the level to do so but there were no staff around to book in all day, so didn't get a massage. I was disappointed.

Все очень хорошо!
Pros:

Отличный отель прямо у пирса. Большой (7 этажей), новый, чистый и современный.
Номера с балконом и видом на море при высоких этажах самые удобные. Вещи сохнут, при открытых дверях не жарко и свежий воздух. Все чисто и комфортно. Есть где посидеть. Кондиционер помогает ночью спать.
Но у детей был номер без балкона, в нем очень сыро, окошки маленькие, темно. Сушить вещи негде. Если есть выбор, лучше брать номера sea view.
В номерах на ТВ работал YouTube, дети смотрели мульты и фильмы. Wi-fi тоже вполне сносный, особо не пользовались, но вроде все работало.
За три дня завтраки шведский стол нам не надоели, почти везде на островах одинаково и нам нормально.
Бассейн на крыше тоже зашел, закаты и вид на океан на три стороны класс. Дети были довольны.
На день рождения мужа заказывали тортик накануне, персонал на завтраке поздравил его с песнями и вечером украсили номер (правда, не наш, а детский, но все равно красиво) - очень приятно было.
Еще из приятных впечатлений в выходные живая музыка в баре, приплывающие большие акулы и скаты ежевечерне в порт. Ходить особо некуда- остров совсем маленький, но отсутствие развлекательных мест подарило по-настоящему расслабляющий отдых с семьей.

Cons:

К отелю вопросов нет, но сам остров из-за отсыпки нового острова порекомендовать можно с ограничениями - пляж мелкий очень далеко, живность на пляж не заплывает, рифа нет. С маской вообще неинтересно, ласты не доставали. Зато с маленькими детьми было бы удобно.
Также понравился опыт вечерней рыбалки - клюет постоянно, рыбы в океане много, с удовольствием провели время.
Еще ребенок-рыбак привез снасти и ежедневно рыбачил на пляже с волнореза. Кому нравится такой досуг, то на острове не запрещено. Рыба мелкая, но разная. Никто из выловленных не пострадал- крючки безопасные удалены, рыба отпущена обратно в океан.

Если хочется спокойно пожить, то Ghuli самое оно. И отель Arrival самый лучший. Транспорт от Мале паром за 1$ ежедневно, очень доступно.

Pros:

Уютный комфортный номер. Близко до пляжа.

Cons:

Были мелкие недочеты в номере, но персонал все решал по нашей просьбе. Мы брали номер Делюкс с балконом, но реально балкона нет, его ширина всего около 20см. Завтраки скудные, не было даже яичницы, только варенные яйца. Шезлонгов не хватает, мы пришли в 9 утра на пляж, нам сказали, что шезлонгов уже нет. Воды в океане по колено до обеда, после обеда по грудь, но это уже не минусы отеля и много мусора на острове.

Çok ilgili çalışanlar, güzel sahil ve hizmet, geliştirilmesi gerek yönleri var.
Pros:

Çalışanlar çok ilgili ve yardımcı oluyorlar özellikle Zaya hanım çok kibar ve ilgili kendisi Türkçe diline de hakim çalışanların hepsi İngilizce biliyor iletişim sorunu olmuyor. Çalışanlardan Rani ye de teşekkür ediyorum ilgisinden dolayı. Balayı için geleceğimizi yazdığım halde oda süslemesi istemiştim ilgiliden hem mail hem telefondan yazdım fakat geldiğimde herhangi bir balayı odası süsü yoktu bu yüzden hayal kırıklığına uğradım Zaya hanım ilgilendi ve çözdü. Booking tarafı ile ilgilenen kişiden biraz daha özverili olması tavsiyem.

Odalar yeterli büyüklükte, klima, buz dolabı ve diğer ekipmanlar mevcut. Kıyafet dolabı biraz küçük. Adanın tamamını 30 dk da gezebilirsiniz. Özellikle bu adayı seçmemiz köpekbalığı görülme ihtimali çok düşüktü. Adanın liman kısmında gece gündüz köpek balığı görülebiliyor lakin yüzdüğümüz tarafta hiç görülmedi, saldırmayan cinsten insanlar ekmekle besliyorlar liman tarafında :) Otelin keyifli terası ve havuzu var biraz küçük olsa da.

Ada da marketler pahalı her şey dışarıdan geliyormuş. Otelin kendi teknesini kullandık rahat oldu. kişi başı gidiş-dönüş 20 dolar adayada 30 dk lık mesafede ulaşım rahattı. Havalimanından çıkınca sizi görevli karşılıyor bota yerine kadar eşlik ediyor. Dolar bozdurmak adada karlı değil 15.2 den bozuyorlar otel 14.2 den bozuyor tavsiye etmem. Dolar her yerde geçiyor. Para bozdurmak istiyorsanız ben yapmadım ama siz male de bozdurabilirsiniz. Ada da alkol satışı yok(ülkeye getirmekte yasak) sadece resort adalarda oluyor. Eşinizi köpekbalığı korkusu yoksa resort otelleri tavsiye ederim.

Cons:

Kahvaltı çeşitliliği daha fazla olabilirdi. Türkiyeden gelecek arkadaşlar yanlarında peynir getirebilir maalesef ada da bulunmuyor. biz de öneri üzerine yanımıza aldık kahvaltılar keyifli hale geldi. Omlet ve salata dışındaki tatlar bize hitap eden tarafta değildi.

Denize gitmek için havlu istediğimizde kalmadığını beyan ettiler maalesef bu çok üzücü otelde konaklayan sayısı belli ihtiyaç duyulan havlu sayısı belli planlamaları gerekiyor. Aynı şekilde şezlong için de geçerli sahile de yeterli kadar yok bizim için sorun değildi kumda oturmak tercihimiz olduğundan bilgi amaçlı yazıyorum.

Oda kahvaltı olarak aldık yorumlardan akşam yemekleri için başarılı yorumlar göremediğim için. Fiyatı kişi başı 25 usd açık büfe, biz her akşam farklı otel restoranlarını denedik yan otelin yemeklerini daha çok beğendim.

Ms Gold işletmeci olarak daha özverili çalışmasını bekliyorum bunca mesaj ve mail karşılığında standart bir hizmet hoş olmuyor.

TOP HOTEL FÜR EINEN TOP PREIS
Pros:

Das Hotel ist unglaublich sauber. Das Personal ist unglaublich zuvorkommend, kompetent und aufmerksam. Ich habe ein StandardZimmer gebucht und muss sagen dass ich sehr zufrieden war. Sauberes, großes Bett mit einem geräumigen Badezimmer. Das Frühstücksbüffet war was das Niveau betrifft durchschnittlich: es enthielt Rothi, gebratenes Gemüse, Toast, Eier, Würstchen, Saft, Cornflakes... Es ist im Grunde für jeden was dabei. Ich kann wärmsten empfehlen sich etwas Mittags oder Abends im Restaurant des Hotels zu bestellen, da waren die Speisen die ich bestellt habe fantastisch (Chicken Sandwich und Spaghetti with meatballs).
Das Hotel organisiert, soweit ihr dies erfragt, für euch den Transport mit dem Speedboat vom Airport ins Hotel und vom Hotel zum Airport (Dauer: ungefähr 30 Minuten). Dies kostet für eine Person insgesamt 40 Dollar.
Nach Anschluss eures Aufenthalts sind 18
Dollar zu zahlen ( umfasst: Standard Room for 3 nights (1 Single), Service Charge, TGST und Green TAX).

Innerhalb von 4 Minuten seid ihr am Strand, ein Mini Market befindet sich auch in der Nähe.
Die Wege die zum Hotel führen sind gut beleuchtet, weshalb ich mich als Solo Travlerin sehr wohl gefühlt habe.
Der einzige Grund warum ich dem Hotel keine 5/5 Sterne gebe liegt daran, dass es nur kaltes Wasser beim Duschen gab und dass das Fenster in meinem Zimmer nicht sauber war...
Other than that - TOP HOTEL.

Traumurlaub
Pros:

Sehr freundliches und zuvor kommendes Personal! Essen ist der Wahnsinn. Strände, Lage etc muss mann glaub ich nicht erwähnen einfach traumhaft. Unsere Nachbarn unter uns waren leider etwas höhrbarer, da kann aber das Hotel nichts für. Sehr zu empfehlen :)

We liked staying here so much that after two days away we cancelled our other accommodation and booked another 4 nights
Pros:

The staff were available 24/7, they are polite, helpful and understanding . The food was served fresh and the kitchen is very clean.
After staying on other Maldives islands I would recommend staying here at Arrival Brach and Spa.
The pool is cool and the views are amazing.
