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.

Pros:

Perfect nice hospitality, rooftop restaurant, helpful staff and the scenery itself in the center of paradise :) They will care about You since arrival!

Cons:

Local Maldives like Dhigurah are not yet so tourist crowded but it is going to change soon - many construction sites around... Last chance to feel its virginity...

Zdecydowanie polecamy !
Pros:

Obsługa hotelowa od samego wejścia dbała o nasz komfort. Dostaliśmy na powitanie schłodzone mokre ręczniki i zimny napój. Oczywiście zostaliśmy odebrani z portu i przewiezieni do hotelu. Czuliśmy się bardzo zaopiekowani. Personel był bardzo uprzejmy i pomagał w organizacji transferów, nawet na sąsiednie wyspy. Podróżowaliśmy z dwójką małych dzieci i obsługa bardzo je rozpieszczała. Personel bardzo uśmiechnięty i gotowy spełnić każde życzenia. Śniadania były urozmaicone, więc każdy znajdzie coś dla siebie. Codziennie świeże omlety smażone na zamówienie. Bardzo dobre jedzenie w obiekcie. Dostępne są dwie restauracje (jedna na parterze, a druga na ostatnim piętrze na dachu). Pokoje w bardzo dobrym standardzie i codziennie sprzątane. Łóżka duże i bardzo wygodne. Sprawnie działająca klimatyzacja, więc w pokoju było bardzo przyjemnie. Hotel zlokalizowany bardzo blisko bikini beach. Codziennie organizowane są wycieczki. Korzystaliśmy z wycieczki na pływanie z żółwiami oraz rekinem wielorybim. Polecamy z całego serca! Zobaczyliśmy jedno i drugie, w dodatkowo snurkowaliśmy na rafie koralowej oglądając niezliczone rodzaje ryb. Whaleshark to hotel, do którego bardzo chętnie wrócimy!

Cons:

Nie było minusów.

Pros:

Na plus :

personel
działający internet
czysto
winda
transfer z przystani
trip na snorkeling

Cons:

Na minus :

UWAGA obiekt znajduje się odległości kilkuset metrów od MEGA hałasującej "power station". Jest to generator prądu dla całej wyspy, który BARDZO GŁOŚNO pracuje przez 24/7 !! Powoduje to ogromny dyskomfort i potrafi zepsuć całkowicie pobyt. Nie można nawet posiedzieć na balkonie. Chcesz odpocząć w ciszy i spokoju? To nie w whaleshark beach hotel. Hałas potworny i uważam to za wielkie nieporozumienie. Po zgłoszeniu manager Anna zlekceważyła zgłoszenie i chęć wymiany pokoju, tłumacząc że wszystkie pokoje mają zajęte i nie ma możliwości wymiany.

Słabe śniadania

Nie działająca lodówka
