We didnt really enjoy staying at this hotel at all. We felt like an inconvenience to the staff. There was no ambience at all - you feel like you are walking into an abandoned room. Simple changes would really lift this hotel - - staff that smile, laugh & are happy. - Our room needed a deep clean - there was mould growing on the bathroom glass. - Some minor repairs & maintenance to doors. - at least add some flowers to the tables or placemats & play some soft music so people feel welcome Its not a bad hotel - it just needs some love.

What I loved about the stay at Vista beach Retreat was the staff friendless, their willingness to help with visa extension or obtaining a covid test, the view of the beach, and proximity to small Male' shops/stores for shopping

Why only photos of the good parts are shown? The least you could do is to show the chosen room before confirmation. I got a room with a balcony as stated, but in reality it was a pitiful space with a chair and small round table facing the opposing wall. It is a rip-off, to say the least!

Better options available in the area

Stayed here for one night before travelling to another resort. It was ok for a one night stay in that the bed was comfy and it’s right on the beach. However the room was very small and looked quite tired plus the restaurant on the ground floor is more like a school canteen. Also their website says there’s a terrace with sunloungers and a jacuzzi where you can get served. This wasn’t the case during our stay, it was being used for storage and an area for laundry. We checked afterwards and there are nicer hotels in this area at a similar price.
