Star shell
Pros:

I already stayed here previously. Convenient location (and they also arrange airport pickup/drop off service). Short ride to airport, walkable to seafront and restaurants and local main street.
Clean facilities and room with aircon

Cons:

Room is very cosy in size.
( but fine for a brief stopover while waiting to catch a flight or to board a liveaboard)

Pros:

Izba pekne zariadena, dobra lokalita.

Cons:

Izba velmi hlucna. Okna maju velmi zle tesnenie, ako by ste spali vonku na ulici. Stravili sme 2 noci a nemali sme ziadne upratovanie.

We´ll be back
Pros:

We stayed in this hotel just for one night before our flight from Male. It´s a 15 minute ride from the airport with their shuttle which they provided for 15 USD per room for both ways. We had a nice, clean and quite spacious room with a double bed. There is a lot of storage space, comfortable bed, modern bathroom. Water was provided. Staff at the reception was very helpful and friendly. There is an elevator in the hotel. We had a half board included, dinner was in their restaurant and we had to choose from some food from their menu. As we had to leave early in the morning, breakfast was not ready yet, but at least they made us a coffee. You can walk on a nearby beach, which is nice and there are also a lot of restaurant options in the viscinity. We would love to stay again! It´s a nice product for it´s price!

Cons:

Nearby mosque can be disturbing if you are staying for longer and if you are sensitive for noise, as it is quite loud. But this is not something uncommon in Maldives.

Tolles,modernes Hotel mit freundlichen Personal.
Pros:

In 2 bis 3 Gehminuten war man am Strand,der aber nicht lohnenswert ist. Das Frühstück war lecker und ausreichend. Der Kaffee war mega. Das ganze Personal war toll. Betten sind super bequem. Wir hatten Halbpension. Man könnte sich abends ein Essen aussuchen inklusive Getränk.

Cons:

War bisschen laut durch den Verkehr. Kaffeekapseln fürs Zimmer nur auf Nachfrage.

Απογοητεύτηκα από την διαμονή μου στο συγκεκριμένο ξενοδοχείο .
Pros:

Το κατάλυμα είναι σε καλή τοποθεσία , το δωμάτιο καλό και την πρώτη ημέρα καθαρό και κάποια άτομα του προσωπικού πολύ φιλικά .

Cons:

Το All Inclusive πακέτο που αγοράσαμε ήταν εξαιρετικά φτωχό και δεν ήταν All Inclusive , στο δωμάτιο μας την δεύτερη ημέρα δεν μπήκε καμαρότος και μερικά άτομα του προσωπικού ήταν αδιάφορα .
