Pros:

Unfortunately because of a cyclone i was not able to stay at the property but the owner still helped us with the ferries and logistics. Would reply quickly to queries and with useful information (which was not the case with other hotels). Did get to see the property briefly and wished I had been able to have stayed there.

Znovu bych si tohle ubytování nevybrala
Pros:

Personál byl opravdu milý a ochotný, všude bylo čisto.

Cons:

Bohužel voda v pokoji strašně smrděla a když jsme to sdíleli s majitelem, řekl, že to tak je a ať to vždy necháme 15 minut odtéct. Během toho ale začal z té vody smrdět celý pokoj a fakt to nebylo příjemné, i zuby jsme si čistili pitnou vodou, protože to se nedalo… Nevím, zda to byla jen smůla na pokoj, ale měli jsme porovnání s o polovinu levnějším ubytováním, kde čistota byla stejná, personál také milý a voda hlavně nesmrděla…

Soggiorno piacevole sull’isola
Pros:

La struttura era accogliente e lo stile da guesthouse ci è piaciuto di più rispetto ad altri hotel dell’isola. Lo staff é stato sempre estremamente gentile e disponibile

Cons:

In tutta l’isola c’è questa regola per cui servizi ed escursioni possono essere prenotati solo con il proprio hotel/guesthouse. Abbiamo dovuto insistere per organizzare un’escursione che non veniva offerta nei giorni in cui abbiamo soggiornato e il prezzo a volte era più alto rispetto ad altri posti

Tutto fantastico. Isola meravigliosa
Pros:

La cosa più bella è la terrazza dove si faceva colazione. Impagabile!

Cons:

La stanza era bella e grande ma un po’ all’ombra per cui un po’ umida.

Preis-Leistungsverhältniss ist okay
Pros:

Freundliches Personal. Zimmer werden tgl. von super freundlichen und zuvorkommenden Angestellten gereinigt und wir haben tgl. 1 Glasflasche (!!) Wasser bekommen. Ein Wasserspender zum Nachfüllen gegen Bezahlung wäre toll - würde den Kauf unzähliger Plastikflaschen in den kleinen "Supermärkten" und somit Müll vermeiden.
Große Zimmer, die jedoch renovierungsbedürftig sind (z. B. bei der Duschkabine fehlte eine Schiebetür komplett, Spiegel kaputt).
Schöne kleine Gartenanlage.
1 Minute zu Fuß vom Anleger des Speed Bootes (Begrüßung direkt am Pier - Gepäck wird bei Bedarf durch ein Taxi ins Hotel gebracht), ca. 10-15 Minuten zum Bikini Beach und Gebiet mit den Restaurants, kleinen Supermärkten und Souvenirshops.
Taucherbrillen, Schnorchel, Flossen usw. können gegen Gebühr geliehen werden (5US Dollar/ Tag). Strandhandtücher gibt es kostenlos.
Hotel bietet Massagen und organisiert Ausflüge, Speed Boot für die An- und Abreise usw. an.
Kooperation mit eine guten Tauchschule (Island Divers - zu finden im TME Retreats Dhigurah).
Frühstück war gut und abwechslungsreich. Das Abendessen können wir nicht bewerten, da wir dort nicht gegessen haben.
Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist gut.

Cons:

Wir hatten leider keinen guten Start mit dem uns zugewiesenen Zimmer (Nr. 103). Es lag direkt neben der Rezeption und war nachts entsprechend laut.
Vom gebuchtem Gartenblick war nix zu sehen (Ausblick auf eine Mauer), aber nach mehrmaligem Nachfragen konnten wir dann das Zimmer wechseln, dann war es für uns gut.
Das Restaurant im 2. OG schließt um 21 Uhr. Vielleicht sollte man die Sitzecke vor der Rezeption ins Restaurant verlegen, damit Gäste dort gesellige Abende verbringen können, ohne die Gäste der an die Rezeption angrenzenden Zimmer "wach zu halten" (in unserem Fall nach der langen Anreise. Wir haben um 0:30Uhr Nachtruhe "eingefordert".)
Die Dachterrasse ist komplett verdreckt und wird anscheinend nur von Tauben genutzt, was sehr schade ist. Da steckt viel Potenzial, das leider nicht genutzt wird.
In der Nachbarschaft sind gerade viele (Hotel-) Baustellen, aber dafür kann das Hotel nichts. Wir hoffen nur, dass diese Insel Ihren tollen Charm durch zu viel Tourismus in der Zukunft nicht verliert.

Bien
Pros:

Chambre spacieuse et bien décorée ! Nous avons profité des massages offerts avec notre réservation, c’était formidable ! Le petit déjeuner maldivien était très bon. La réceptionniste était très sympathique et accueillante.

Cons:

Hôtel un peu loin de la bikini beach. Il n’y a pas de vraie option végétarienne pour le petit déjeuner (ils m’ont proposé des cornflakes). La location de vélo dans l’hôtel est plus chère que dans d’autres endroits de l’île.

Disappointed
Pros:

The location and the Wi-Fi were good

Cons:

The room wasn’t very clean, broken toilet seat, bathroom window that wouldn’t open, bed uncomfortable. Never anyone on the Reception, they give you number to Call and then they don’t answer or respond to texts.

I’ve been looking forward to this trip for a long time, and I’m afraid the Hotel was a letdown.

Good value for money, nice stay
Pros:

Friendly informative staff
Pick up/ drop off to pier
Nice size room, hanging space, tv, hairdryer Toiletteries etc
Tea and coffee kettle in room
Good location

Cons:

Pillows too hard for me
I had the unlucky draw of room next to reception so my chairs outside the room were facing a grey concrete wall and dark, the upper floors and other rooms get a view of the gardens and sunny space
