Great managers and staff! They accompanied me to the local hospital to take my PCR test. Booked my ferry and helped with the transfer. Great food and view! Thank you so much dear Canopus team. You are amazing! I think this is the best place to stay in Thulusdhoo. I got lucky to have chosen them without knowing before.

The hosts were very nice and caring. They were concerned about our travel and extended all the help they could. The view from the room was outstanding. In the afternoon we could see dolphins right from our balcony. The restaurant area outside was very nice too. The hosts packed breakfast for us with homemade cakes as we very leaving early (which btw was really awesome). Our stay was only for a night here. Next time it will surely be longer. Really enjoyed our stay here.
