Snorkeling in the reef was the best i ever seen. The beach was AMAZING the food was delicious and everyone was very very nice and helpful
Best snorkelling I've ever had. Beach bungalows are great, other rooms looked a bit tired. Food plentiful and good but don't expect lots of variety. Spa and gym excellent. Take the sea plane not the boat.
Very nice island, fantastic environment, especially for snorkeling, and accommodation and food are adequate for the price. Only downside was spraying of insecticides in the afternoon, which made using the tennis and batminton courts impossible.
Hotel staff are excellent super friendly ... overwater bungalows needs updating .. beach bungalows were updated already ... best thing is u don't need to go far for snorkeling ... shoutout to iqbal and Gus for a great experience ... all staff are so hard working ... thank u ellaidhoo !!'
Mediocre outdated hotel. Staff lacked enthusiasm. Meal options were repetitive and had very little variation over the duration of my stay.
I took my shoes off upon arrival and didn't put them back on until I boarded the speedboat to the airport. If you're looking for a low-key, chill vacation - look no more. The staff are friendly, the rooms comfortable, the reef is great. There are only 2 restaurants and the one that you're allowed to use it dependent upon your room. But despite one restaurant choice, the menu choices are amazingly varied - and all quite tasty. The bars are open at 9 am till - -who knows, since I was in bed by midnight. If you're loking for a package that includes - or has available - excursions other than diving or snorkelling - keep looking. If you want great snorkelling and diving right outside your door, quaint accommodations, an almost eco-tour feel, at a very reasonable price, then the Ellaidhoo is for you.
Had a really bad experience here that cost me more money. Booked through Orbitz and the website told me that they would reach out to me through email; never got an email after a month and a half of booking. Had to reach out to Orbitz offline team since he hotel never picked up the phone even with calculating the time difference. After a while of going back and forth and give the hotel all my Details's of arrival and departure so I could have my sea plane on arrival and speed boat on departure. Got to the airport no problem got to the room there were holes and cracks everywhere on the floor; black stained on the floor plastic covering one side of our water bungalow. Smh I would expect that from a 3 star or 2 not a 5 star. Long story morning day before I'm suppose to leave out party of 5 all get calls at our rooms telling us that we won't be able to accommodate your flight times. Are you kidding me ?! Why even give the arrival times and departure times if you ended up making booked a later flight which cost me a whole new ticket to get home so I didn't miss my connection. And have the other people in my party wait at the airport for 6 hours ?! And all you could do is give them VIP in the lounge. NEVERAGAIN BEWARE OF THIS PLACE
I like the reef at this hotel and the night swimming/ snorkel is excellent . Ask for a renovated room and if they dont give you one walk back to the management and ask politely but firmly. Food is pretty good but all inclusive drinks are TOTAL bottom shelf liquor. Get the all inclusive or you will be spending a lot of money here!!
