Perfect for Me

Perfect for one night at the end of my holiday in the Maldives. Got off my live on boat at 7 am and walked to the hotel from the jetty on Hulhumale. The lovely staff were able to give me an early check in - having been WiFi deprived for a week I was happy to be on my phone for 15 minutes while they cleaned the room. Lovely spacious super clean room with ensuite bathroom on first floor. Little table and chairs on the landing overlooking the road towards the sea. Very comfortable bed and a delicious breakfast - my last Maldivian breakfast and staff organised a very reasonably priced taxi to the airport for me. The sea was close but I didn't swim. Very easy to walk along the beach and very close to local shops, supermarkets and restaurants. Would definitely recommend especially for a night in Malé after or before a holiday in the Maldives.The staff were always so lovely and price was very reasonable.

Location by the beach was nice but the place needs help. We had to fight ants all night and we were on the top floor. The safe didn't work. It was impossible to lock the unit from the inside! No elevator but the staff will carry your luggage. When we checked in, they asked us what time and where we would like breakfast. On our terrace at 9 was the answer. At 9:30 I called to ask where our breakfast was and they had no idea we were supposed to have it!

Friendly, helpful staff, clean rooms

I would give a 5 out of 5, for this one night stay except for some safety issues. The staff was great, room clean, all was as expected. The safety issues were that the bathroom window was falling out, and the stairs were uneven and slippery. My husband fell but fortunately he’s athletic and didn’t get too hurt. Overall it was a clean, easy overnight stay and I would recommend.
