Probleme mit dem Wasser

Location, staff and value for money.

Loved the outside decking, staff were very friendly and bed was comfortable. Honestly the stay was pretty much perfect for what I wanted.

Shower head wasn’t good. Maybe could alternate breakfasts, if you’re staying for a decent amount of time it can get repetitive.

- Helpful staff. - Excursion whale sharks / mantas (but expensive). - Comfortable bed. - The breakfast on the beach is really enjoyable, especially when they serve mas huni (tuna maldivian specialty). You can observe baby sharks in the water while eating. - Wifi is fast enough for youtube. About Dhangethi: - Good snorkeling at the bikini beach but shallow water (beware of low tide). - The water is marvellously beautiful (like everywhere in the Maldives). - One of the best places in the world to see whale sharks and manta rays. - Several small supermarkets open quite late (until around 10-11 pm). - Several good restaurants, relatively cheap, including two open until midnight everyday. - The island is pretty small, so you can walk everywhere very easily and there is almost no traffic (just a few scooters).

- No excursions/activities organised. Only if you ask and expensive. But instead you can go to the nearby dive center. - Rooms are not soundproof. Some of them are even only separated by a mild door. - Old furniture, shelves on the verge of collapsing. The window in the bathroom is broken and you can't close it completely. Everything seems old and bad quality except a few things like the bed. The hotel needs a complete renovation. - Not very clean: unidentified stains on the linen, insect stains on the walls. In 2 weeks they cleaned the room only twice and they just swept the floor. - Shower water not always warm. - The maldivian breakfast is really good but most of the time it's just a sausage, an omelet and a few toasts. - The beach nearby is not very clean. The bikini beach is around 5 minutes away. It's fine but worth mentioning because the other comments let you think the nearby beach is the bikini beach. Overall it was disappointing for a hotel rated 9.2/10 on booking and 5 stars on google maps! About Dhangethi: - Prices at the supermarket are not displayed and vary depending of who is at the checkout (sometimes a bottle of water is 6 rufiyaas, sometimes 10). - The ATM is brand new but some days it doesn't work and supermarkets don't take credit cards. So you'd better bring some rufiyaas with you just in case. - No drinking water on the island, you need to buy bottles (at a random price). - Plenty of broken chairs on the bikini beach, toilets not very clean. - Don't forget to bring mosquito repellent. You can also buy some at the local supermarkets.
