Everything was perfect. The rooms, the food, the staff, the manager, the excursions, the weather, the beach, etc.. - highly recommended! Many thanks to the Whaleshark Team! Our highlight was the full day boat tour. We were able to swim/snorkel with whalesharks, mantas, sea turtles and many others. That was something very special for us. Don't miss out on this unique experience!

It is family run guesthouse. And they do it properly. Food is great, especially local dishes and fruit. Snorkel equipment and bikes are free. It is reasonably clean, you shall get beach towels. Main front desk person, Musa will be ready to give you information, help in any logistic issue, organize excursions or solve any problem. Overall it is nice. Village shops are nearby, beach is 5 minutes by bike. Sun beds are relatively scarce on sunset beach, so go early morning and take good sun beds. If you visit Thoddoo you will share experience of real life Maldives. It is affordable, very good for recharging. It is not luxurious as the resort, but beach and sea life is fantastic, local fruit too, and you feel spending time in real community. And you will enjoy Maldives for fraction of resort cost

Exceptionally well-run and comfortable guest house! Things we liked: - The work ethic and friendliness of Areef. He worked nonstop to make our stay perfect. When we departed he came down to the harbour to make sure there were no complications with our boat and we left on time - The room was fantastic. Immaculately clean and very functional. Internet 10/10. Cleaned every day. The shower was piping hot and like something from a 4-star hotel - Location is excellent just a 5-minute walk from Bikini Beach and a similar distance to the brilliant Compass Restaurant located on the beach - Beautiful quiet and clean inner courtyard where everyone has breakfast. There is somewhere to wash off the sand before going into the building which ensures everything stays clean - Areef as mentioned does everything in his power to ensure a good time is had. He even pointed me to the local football pitch where I was able to join a game of 5 a side - The price of the accommodation is excellent and offers unrivalled value for money from our experiences of travelling the Maldives - Dhangethi is a lovely community island. Here you experience the real Maldives. There are only 5-6 guesthouses so tourists do not overwhelm the atmosphere like they do on other islands - Dhangethi is a great place to base yourself if you want to see Dhigurah. Dhangheti is much more intimate and enjoyable to stay on. We did a speedboat day trip to Dhigurah for $10 each way which was a sufficient time there. It felt great to 'come home' to Dhangethi after

We loved everything especially the staff are all so friendly and welcoming, they made our holiday special. Thank you to everyone there especially Nizam, Ahmed from the restaurant, Kalam the chef, Shalahuddin the chef, Faruq from house keeping, Jugal from green fingers, Kamil and the team from water sports and the main bar. The property is beautiful, clean and modern, the island is relatively big to do so many things. Everything exceeded our expectations and 120% recommend to anyone planning to go to Maldives. We will definitely come back to Villa Park!

    A wonderful resort on a beautiful island. We stayed in the Deluxe Overwater Villa, which was luxuriously furnished and equipped. The entrance directly from the terrace to the water was amazing. They cleaned twice every day and refilled the water bottles in the morning. They cook excellently in the restaurant. A large selection of local and Italian cuisine at dinner. Also fish every day. The kitchen staff also took care of our gluten-free diet - they baked gluten-free bread and pastries and prepared gluten-free pasta. Free water served at dinner. Beautiful sandy beaches with a coral reef with fish, turtles and reef sharks. Attentive staff. We recommend it to everyone.

    An amazing snorkelling beach -no boats or travel required -just thousands of colourful fish and turtles, perfect white sand and palm trees. The concession stand sold delicious, fresh-picked fruit-watermelon, papaya, bananas. We loved the Coccoa beach restaurant and the Black Anchor and the Mango House had fabulous lattes and desserts.

    Dhigurah is a beautiful island with a long sandy beach,...

    Dhigurah is a beautiful island with a long sandy beach, without sunbeds and umbrellas, the palm trees lining the island will provide you with sufficient shade. At the end of the island there is a sandbank, which can be reached by walking, cycling or scooter through the tropical forest. There are several shops with groceries, souvenirs and restaurants on the island. There is a lot of accommodation in different places on the island with quality services. The local people are smiling and friendly. There is a hospital, a police station, the Maldivian office and mosques on the island. Waste from the island is taken to the forest, where it is burned in the afternoon, we only felt the smoke from the waste when there was a strong wind. You can get to the island from the airport by speedboat, the journey takes about two hours, if you suffer from nausea, I recommend taking anti-nausea medicine, you will definitely need it when the waves are bigger. There is a coral reef around the island, you can see many colorful fish, we were lucky to see a turtle and a small shark. There are resorts on the surrounding atolls, to which seaplanes fly daily. What we didn't like on the island is the massive construction of new accommodation facilities, I'm afraid that in a short time, there will be more tourists on the island than locals and the island will lose its authenticity and beauty.

    Great Island, plenty to do and good snorkelling straight off Villa. Food, people and facilitiies were great - cannot fault. Deluxe water villas were a bit tired and really need a refurbishment - other than that great time in Kuramathi...

    We enjoyed 7 days on the island. The rooms are very clean. The food is AMAZING! Everyone from staff are kind. The resort is sustainable, they try very hard to recycle and repurpose almost everything which is really nice. All inclusive is the smarter choice, trust me😄 The snorkeling is really fun! The whole island stands on coral reef and there is a lot to see! Maybe bring your own equipment, although you can rent. I don’t recommend the visit to the local island, nothing to see there We absolutely recommend

    I didn't like that the island lost most of it's green and I didn't see the wild nature I prefer. There was a lot of construction going on the moment I was there, I felt discomfort because of that. And maybe in 1-2 years it's going to be over I think. But on the other hand there's just amazing diving on the house reef and nearby reefs. There's a lot of nice restaurants and there was no day I felt bored.

    It was not my first time in Maldives and my experience there was disappointing compared to my previous trips in other resorts. The quality of service is poor and it’s a shame because the resort is lovely and the staff are nice but lack professionalism.

    Great for diving but not so great for snorkeling.

    Great for diving but not so great for snorkeling. The reef is very far out and at times the current was very strong. Prices for trips to see the whale sharks were quite expensive at 75 USD. And there were tons of other boats at the same spots - very zoo-like. Bikini beach, the only beach you can swim at in only your bathing suit is fairly shallow and windy. The better beach beside it requires you to be clothed. However, the local people are super nice and helpful.

    You need maximum 3 days to complete all trips, any more than that would have to be someone who loves water sports as these are the main activities in this country, anyways. Bring a mosquito or any insect repellent, you will need these after a stroll on the shores or anywhere there are plants. Also have an anti-nausea pill if you are the seasick type. Taxis have a fixed price for each location, check that out. Alcohol in the resorts is expensive but then again that's all you got. Best to pay all meals or include dinner in your package as there are almost no restaurants outside, depending on the island, and if you find one it's either a chips or coffee spots.

    A Wonderful Beach Holiday.

    A Wonderful Beach Holiday. Necessary structure: shops and cafes are available. The ability to pay with a bank card, as well as in cash (USD, MVR). Good exchange rate in all places. I was pleased with both Mathiveri and Mathiveri Finholu: the beaches are clean, the sand does not burn your feet, and there is a comfortable "coolness" in the shade of the trees.

    Feridhoo is an island inhabited by locals.

    Feridhoo is an island inhabited by locals. They are Muslims, so respect them and wear decent clothes when walking through the village. The island has 2 restaurants with good food and fair prices, one dive base (Noohiri) and one small shop next to Shifa Lodge. We came for diving and found an abundant maritime life. There are 2 beach areas, one at the east side with the best snorkeling ground, the other at north/west side with berths for relaxing.
