Hotel di Fihalholi

This is an amazing privately owned island, which is a gem of a find. If you want calmness, relaxation and great service, then this is the place to go. This is our second visit and would happily come back again. The island has lovey, clean rooms and does not have crazy numbers of people, so at meal times, the beaches are deserted. The island offers some great snorkel trips but i would advise you to be strong swimmers (the sea can be rough and many of the trips are in very deep water, as you jump into the sea from a boat). The views around the island are breathtaking and the food is awesome (they also cater for vegan/lactose intolerance and gluten intolerance) vegetarian food was a little sp****, but we ate vegan at lot of the time, which we still lovely but can get a little boring due to limited options, especially when you see all the other delights on offer, but are not vegetarian (including cakes etc) The service was outstanding, the staff could not do any more for us. There was a wide range of visitors from all sorts of countries (a large proportion of German/Russian people) the library was more geared towards German, which suggests the larger number of visitors were probably from there. We stuck to our Amazon Kindles, so didn’t need the library anyway. There were also options to hire boats, jet skis and snorkels if you needed them, plus the possibility of gaining a full PADI diving license for anyone who wanted to do it (all had extra costs). There was a little shop on the island, but it is expensive for essentials (such as snorkels or suntan lotion) because it all has to be imported in, which is understandable. Therefore, make sure you take whatever items you need with you. If you want to experience the Maldives without the commercial craziness or the major corporation chain aspect, this is a great island to visit.

The island and room were clean , the resort was overall fine, the reef was beautiful and we generally enjoyed our stay, after all it’s the Maldives and a bucket list tick. Why 3 stars? Well we really found the all male staff (other than the spa ladies who I believe were from Bali or Thailand or the like) really unfriendly . The bar staff simply didn’t smile or engage in conversation at all. Ever. We felt like we were imposing. The wait staff were ridiculous, we were absolutely not allowed to change our allocated seating which was in a hot elevated area. We refused to sit there given there were multiple empty tables elsewhere that were more suitable and closer to our friends. Well what a drama that was and totally unacceptable at that. In the end I had to tell the aggressive waiter to not speak to me and go away. Attention management, whatever your reasoning it was a hot topic amongst a large group of us and not in line with a quality resort. Our room was fine, the cupboard drawers were hard to open but that was nothing compared to the sewer issue. Out toilet water was brown and the bathroom Stank for the first 2 days until after 3 requests was fixed. On the last day our boat left at 6pm so We requested a late check out. We were told the resort was full the next day and it was not possible as were our friends . Turns out that was a lie . We did get a late check out after I reminded management that we had a sewer issue . Amazingly our friends who also had the sewer issue also got a late check as compensation. We were then required to sign a waiver . We enjoyed our stay but to be clear, the staff were careless and really seemed like they wanted to be somewhere else . Exception was the spa girls, the room cleaning boys and the gardeners who all had happy smiles and a friendly wave . Also we had an overwater bungalow and the steps to the water were not maintained, they were covered in a lot of algae making them incredibly dangerous , the steps had a paint finish too which was so slippery . Day trippers , whilst expected, had drones that were invasive to our bungalow and not controlled when reported to management . I feel there are much better options in the Maldives.

Nous avons séjourné dans l’hôtel avec la chambre avec piscine, celle ci était très bien mais le service laisse à désirer. L’hôtel contient 3 îles, il n’est pas possible de manger sur une autre île que la nôtre par rapport au buffet et les prix des restaurants sont hors de prix. Quand aux activités rien n’est gratuit prévoyez un gros budget activité (plongée sous marine à 350$ par personne par exemple), point positif vous trouverez 4 piscines dont 2 adultes only. Pour ce qu’il en est de notre « référent » il a été totalement absent et inutile nous devions aller à la réception pour demander tout et n’importe quoi comme pour le Check out par exemple. Cependant le reste du personnel a été très agréable tout le séjour et vraiment à notre petit soin. C’est un petit coin de paradis dans lequel nous avons pu voir des baby shark magnifique et un aquarium de poisson mais si nous devions revenir ce ne serait pas ici. (Petit déjeuner dans la piscine a éviter)

Our company gave us 10 days holiday and our last hotel destination was Marina Bay Retreat and Spa. I and my other 5 colleagues was amazed with the services they have specially diving and snorkeling in Guraidhoo Island. The Hotel is located in front of the beach and if we only know we would have not stayed in a water villa resort. The new manager of Marina Bay is pretty amazing. I feel like I was in Boracay island since the new manager is from the Philippines. He shared his vision to the hotel and well enough, he showed us the real customer service and the value of money we spend during our stay! Definitely we will comeback here!

+ delicious breakfast: we requested vegan (fruit, veg curry, roshi, bread) and traditional Maldivian (mashuni roshi) + immaculately clean + air con + good wifi + bottled water provided every day + the host is very polite and a beautiful person. He’s happy to organise anything for you: speedboat in and out of the island, takeaway food, excursions. We felt like at home, with dad looking after us 😊 + only a few steps to the bikini beach - there was nothing we didn’t like. PS: if you’re island hoping, make sure you visit the stunning small island of Fulidhoo (our favourite out of Guraidhoo, Gulhi, Fulidhoo, Hulumalle & Diffushi).

You can play billiards at the accommodation, and the area is popular for windsurfing. Guraidhoo Beach is a few steps from Rosy Villa Hotel.

The experience at Guraidhoo island was really amazing. The island is local, so you have to take in count that it will not be residences and staff like this. This hotel is really pretty, clean and familiar. The food is really good. The staff is absolutely the best; all the people there is so kind and helpfull. I stayed here for more or less one week and every day we went to another trip/excursion. My favourite excursion was the shark excursion, but also the others (we saw the coral reef, the turtles, the dolphins, we went fishing…) were so spectacular. During all the trips the staff will make for you the lunch, that can take on: fresh fruits (orange, coconut, watermelon) some rice, salads etc. One day after an excursion they took us (like always) in another island or it could be a sand board and cooked for us a typical maldivian lunch. So delicious! The staff really take care about every details. You can see in their eyes the real kindness! After my holiday I can say, that the magnificent landscape and the wonderful animals take a back seat. I will always carry with me the memory of the caring and heartfelt people I left on this island.

We arrived very late to Male. Due to Ramadan, our pre-booked speedboat was cancelled, so I asked Ilham to help us with arranging speedboat transfer. He did his best plus he was waiting for us at the airport and guided us to Guraidhoo island. From La Isla Tropica they arranged a mini van for our luggages. Rohan is a very kind person, I have never expected such hospitality and support. He help us in everything: getting medicine to the hurt shoulder, offering great suncream, preparing takeaway breakfast and organizing boat trip. Whatever we needed: he was always there to help. I cannot thank him enough for his great personality. We all like the breakfast and dinner, which were tasty and more than enough :) I would defienetly like to return, we had gorgeous 6days in La Isla Tropica and in Guraidhoo.
