The staff all the way from the receptionist David to our waiter haris to our housekeeper Didi was exceptional. They make you feel welcome and at home. The snorkeling around the reef was so much fun as well as the excursions. Me and my wife went for our honeymoon and are already talking about going back.

The service was great! The staff friendly. The place was like paradise.

It was a great Island, nice back to nature feel.


Only minor area for complaint was safety and privacy:

Need an internal rail around the water bungalow walkways, dangerous for kids and drunks.
Another screen down the side of water bungalows, so your neighbours can not look in would be nice.
Our great whaleshark boat tour was overloaded and breached boat safety, 1 of the non paying hotel staff should have stepped down, rather than overload a boat safety guidelines.

Amazing tropical paradise! We enjoyed our honeymoon on this little island.

My stay at this stunning Maldives resort was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the fantastic team made us feel welcome and ensured our experience was unforgettable. The resort offers great activities and affordable excursions, with highlights including incredible snorkeling right off the island. We encountered a vibrant array of marine life including turtles, sharks, angel rays, and beautifully reconstructed coral reefs.

Dining at the resort was a delightful experience, with high-quality food that catered to various tastes. Each meal was a culinary adventure, showcasing the best of local and international cuisines.

if I had to mention a couple of areas for improvement. I would suggest adding fans at the pool table area to enhance comfort. Additionally, while the food was outstanding, the desserts tended to be overly sweet. A bit more balance in the sweetness would elevate the dining experience to perfection.

Despite these minor points, our stay was magical. The natural beauty, attentive staff, and variety of activities made it a perfect getaway.

Thank you for an amazing time in this little piece of paradise!

Tutto è ben curato, la gentilezza del personale il punto forte. Isola molto bella, piccola e girabile a piedi

* I paid full price with Expedia but when got to the resorts they charged me extra green tax fees.
* in their page they said have tv in public area but they don't
* there is no hotel in the world rated 4 stars and has no tv in the room
* they said laundry included in their page but they charged for laundry in the hotel

Small ressort with only 70 rooms
Perfect service
Ideal for snorkeling

We arrived during a storm in the off season and that was a difficult journey. Upon learning this the team at Sandies Bathala then did everything they possibly could to make sure the remainder of our stay was incredible and it was! We'll have memories to cherish for a lifetime. The food is delicious and varied. The staff are kind, warm and attentive. The island's features really well thought out, eco friendly and well maintained. The coral reef is awesome and the ability to go snorkeling directly from your villa is a highlight. We stayed on the beachfront and in an overwater villa and they were both great! We'd go again on a heartbeat. Highly recommend staying at Sandies Bathala!

The stay was nothing short of amazing, I loved my experience and didnt want to leave. The scenery was to die for and worth every penny.

Juste magnifique, un petit bout de paradis sur terre.

My little hut out on the water was pure heaven. I came home yesterday so relaxed and chill. It was the best holiday I've had in a while.

It was a wonderful relaxing holiday and the staff were all so happy all the time. It was the closest thing to a ZEN holiday I have ever had. Cant recommend it any higher!

Isola incantevole circondata completamente dalla barriera corallina. Cibo, pulizia e cortesia impeccabile. Abbiamo alloggiato in un water villa ed è stata un esperienza incredibile. Le escursioni (a pagamento) sono ben organizzate e ci hanno permesso di nuotare tra: squali balena, mante, tartarughe...qualcosa di veramente incredibile!. Ringraziamo Alice, Alessia, Silvia e Noemi per la loro cortesia e disponibilità. Avere delle biologhe nello staff è veramente un plus. Il reef attorno all'isola è pieno di vita, tra squali, razze ed un infinità di pesci tropicali. Vacanze super!!!

Mi aspettavo una struttura un pochino più curata nei particolari, eccellente la pulizia e tutto lo staff, ha una splendida barriera corallina per fare snorkeling e immersioni .

All the staff went the extra mile to ensure our stay was perfect. Food was excellent and the over the water bungalows stunning.

5 giorni che sono volati, super piacevoli. Mai visto così tanti pesci, compresi squali (assolutamente inofensivi) intorno ad un'isola e spesso visibili dalla stanza. Non siamo grandi fan della animazione ma era piacevole e non invasiva (ti lasciano partecipare quando sei interessato, altrimenti non sei disturbato). Molto interessante lo snorkeling con il team di biologhe. Siamo stati molto bene

Wonderful!!!

We hadden een waterbungalow en dat was heel fijn want we konden vanaf een trap zo het water in om te snorkelen.
Het eten is goed, veel Italiaans en vers.
De bungalows staan wel dicht bij elkaar en er is geen afscherming van je buren.
Klein eiland met eigen huisrif. Koraal is niet meer zo mooi maar er zwemmen heel, heel veel verschillende vissen wat echt prachtig is.
Helaas hadden wij veel regen en veel wind, ongebruikelijk eind december dus dat was een beetje pech.
Watervliegtuig was geweldig.
Dank aan al het vriendelijke personeel.
