Beach Hotel Dhigurah

Extraordinary stay at beach hotel Dhigurah. From pick up to drop off it was by far one of the best places we have stayed at. Starting off with the staff/management. They went above and beyond to help you, probably some of the hardest workers we have seen during our travels. From dusk to dawn these people are working hard and always have a huge smile on their face and go out of their way to greet you at all hours of the day. They are so well organized from pick up at the airport, boat ride to the island, transfer to the hotel and during our stay it was hassle free. Isham (the manager) was there to greet us upon arrival at the hotel. He gave us information about the island and exchanged WhatsApp’s so if we had any questions during our stay he would help us (which we did and he always responded quickly!) he organized, along with his staff excursions for whale shark snorkeling (which we were lucky to see !) fishing (which they cooked our catch the next day) scuba diving and even our sea plane back to Male (

Pros: - Great location, very close to bikini beach - Lovely, friendly staff (Farhad, the Myanmar girls, Metun, everyone was wonderful and made our stay pleasant) - Tasty food & good breakfast - Comfortable beds Cons: - Ishan from the hotel booked us a whale shark & manta combined excursion. During the excursion we overheard it was only for whaleshark and we only saw the manta because we didn’t find the whaleshark for a few moments in the end in non clear water as the sun had set. Also, no one informed us about the plankton in the water and my husband got an allergic reaction which meant he shouldn’t sunbathe or swim (then what’s the purpose of being in the Maldives?!) - Limited space in the room to hang wet clothes from the beach - No communication beforehand about the booked speedboat, we had to figure it out ourselves in the airport - European standards pricing but I don’t believe the staff is getting paid at the same level.

We were very pleased with a great stay at Beach Hotel! The sea view is through the palm trees
