Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
it’s nice and I love the fact that the location is very close to the sea

food specially breakfast and all sweet menu were nice.Staff and service is amazing.

súper good service!! the place is as you see in the pictures.

Rooms are basic but clean and the bed is comfy. It is definitly not a luxury hotel but it is cosy and the food is nice. It is a bit overpriced and I would have given it 3 stars out of 5 if it wasn't for the staff. They are the best! The philipino girl in the reception, the restaurant staff, Shafu and especially Nasir, they all make you feel at home!

Friendly Staff and Well maintained rooms...nice n clean..enjoy the stay..Location was grt all activities nearby. Night ambience was awesome

The staffs were very friendly and accommodating. The GRO or their tour guide took care of us really well.

The staff were exceptional, extremely helpful and accommodating! Helped us book tours and transfers. Breakfast was really yummy and varied, and good vegetarian options.

WIFI was OK, but poorly working on the room. Good food, very attentive & friendly staff. Convenient location on the island. Good price/value racio.

We liked the location, near the boats and water sports facilities. The garden and the architecture is pretty. If you are there to do a lot of water sports activities with kids (scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing, parasailing 🪂…) it’s the right place to stay!!! Food was good and authentic !

Staff at property were really helpful especially Mr Jack who facilitated my return trip to Male last minute! Can’t thank them enough.

Legal information
Private hosts
Hosts who have registered with Booking.com as a private host are parties that rent out their property or properties for purposes which are outside their trade, business, or profession. They are not officially traders (like a global hotel chain) and therefore may not fall under the same consumer protection rules under EU law, but don’t worry, Booking.com provides you with the same customer service as we do with any stay. This doesn’t mean that your stay or experience will be any different than booking with a professional host.
