Once in a life time snorkelling experiences, at a great hotel with delicious food!
Pros:

We loved our stay at Whaleshark Beach, the excursions are world class. Majuudee the snorkelling guide, is calm, kind and very knowledgeable. You can snorkel with whalesharks, manta rays, nurse sharks and sting rays, it is incredible! All staff in the hotel are helpful, the chef is amazing - we loved all the food. It's a quiet time to visit at the moment which made the snorkelling even more special. It was a holiday of a lifetime with ocean experiences we'll never forget.

Cons:

Nothing!

Brilliant!
Pros:

The staff were amazing!! I was greeted at arrival with a welcome drink and little grass fish necklace which was a cute gesture. They were very helpful with booking excursions and transfers to and from the harbour. Communication was also spot on with ordering my speedboats prior to arrival and departure.

Cons:

I don’t have anything negative to say about this property.

Pros:

Das Personal war extrem freundlich und zuvorkommend. Der Service war ausgezeichnet. Wir wurden bei unserer Ankunft bereits am Hafen erwartet und ins Hotel gebracht. Die Organisation der Ausflüge ist sehr gut, alles funktioniert reibungslos inkl. Transport zum und vom Hafen. Die Guides bei den Ausflügen waren nicht nur sehr bemüht uns das bestmögliche Erlebnis bieten zu können, sie waren auch sehr freundlich und auf unser Wohlbefinden bedacht. Das Zimmer ist top ausgestattet, sehr sauber und die Lage des Hotels ist ausgezeichnet.
Jeder Wunsch wird einem in diesem Hotel erfüllt.

Cons:

Es gibt nichts zu beanstanden. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt

Pros:

Das Hotel ist insgesamt wunderbar, das Personal ist sehr aufmerksam und zuvorkommend. Kudus war besonders hilfsbereit, und alle drei Kellnerinnen waren sehr freundlich. Das Hotel wirkt neu und komfortabel.

Cons:

Ich habe versehentlich einen billigen chinesischen Aschenbecher zerbrochen, den ich gar nicht benutzt habe. Ich habe den Vorfall selbst gemeldet, und sie verlangten 15 Dollar. Das ist kein angemessener Preis für einen alten, billigen Aschenbecher.

Krásný hotel a milý personál
Pros:

Skvělý a moc milý personál, každý den usměvavý a ochotný se vším pomoci. Ubytování je krásné, čisté a na pláž je to 50 m. Nic nám nechybělo. Snídaně příjemné. Moc se nám pobyt líbil a určitě se vrátíme.

Cons:

Vše se nám líbilo.

Definitely book here!! Amazing
Pros:

We had the most wonderful stay at this resort. Everything was spotless, beautifully maintained, and felt truly relaxing from the moment we arrived. The snorkeling right off our doorstep was absolutely incredible — such an unforgettable experience.

The staff were outstanding, warm, and attentive throughout our stay. A special thank you to Lola, the manager, who went above and beyond. She personally met us at the boat after I experienced a medical event and made sure we were so well cared for. Her kindness and professionalism were second to none. She organized everything from boat transfers to daily activities. The food was actually so damn good! We had done a few other islands where the food was nasty.

We would absolutely return and highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a beautiful, well-run island escape.

Cons:

Nothing

Dhigurah is beautiful local island
Pros:

The bedroom and staff were lovely - breakfast was varied and great tours on offer

Cons:

The sound from the diesel generators that run the electricity on the island across the pitch I got used to the hum but initially was like what is that sound.

Excellent place to explore Dhigurah.
Pros:

- Perfect location just 30 meters away from the beach.
- Very attentive and kind staff from check in to check out. Any issues that we had (e.g. some minor AC issues) were fixed very quickly and without any further issues
- Good dining options (rooftop) and around
- Clean rooms and comfy beds
- Diverse breakfasts despite being quite basic. Omelette and egg station available if you are not very much into sweet or local flavors.

Cons:

- Availability of hot water. We had issues with getting hot water, sometimes we had to wait for a few minutes to have it "sauna hot" and this was the only advice we got from the hotel. While this worked most of the cases and even with a lukewarm water in this climate it was not an issue, it's not very eco friendly if you have to flush dozens of liters to get to the warm / hot water.

Pros:

Personel bardzo miły i uczynny. Pokój rodzinny to tak naprawdę dwa pokoje połączone korytarzem, co było bardzo wygodne.

Cons:

Bardzo kiepskie kosmetyki, wyposażenie pokoju było słabej jakości, Drzwi od szafy w pokoju masakrycznie trzeszczały przy otwieraniu i dodatkowo blokowały wejście do łazienki. Klimatyzacja w jednym z pokoi bardzo słabo działała.
