Find the Cheap Rasdhoo Hotels

From the minute you walk through the orante wooden front doors you can tell this was a well looked after place. All amenities were at hand including outdoor showers and foot taps. There are also sunbed/loungers in the garden area for those after a suntan without going to the nearby beach. We recieved a really warm welcome from Nxaam who went out of his way to ensure we had an enjoyable stay. It was very apparent his priority was to ensure we had a nice stay, he provided an outstanding level of service, which includes transfering all our luggage to & from the Harbour area for the Speed Boat from/to Male. We had two rooms booked both of which were very modern, each with hot water shower, plenty of towels, in fact when we arrived Nxaam quickly provided us with good quality beach towels as we simply dropped off our luggage and headed straight for the nearby ( 5- 8 minutes walk) ”BikinI” beach designated for tourists. The Beach was spotless with plenty of free sun beds/loungers. Back to Beach Cottage, there was a plentyfull supply of botteled drinking water readily available. Even fridges in each room to keep it nice and chilled. If you ran out of anything there was a small supply held in the lobby you could help yourself to to replenish any water bottles or bathroom bits and pieces. The rooms were immaculately presented and comfortable. There were plenty of choices for eating out nearby and all within 5 minute walking distance. The island of 1200 population is not large and can be wlaked around in a very short time. Back to the resurants we used the Shallow Lagoon and the Lemon Drop both offering a varied menue of local, Indean, Thai and European dishes. lots of choice for any discerning customer. So a massive Thank You to Nxaam for making us feel really welcome for providing such a high standard of accommodation for such a good rate - very much great value for money. A cracking place to stay.

The island is small, but the location is good. The visitor's beach is very close and is perfect for supermarkets and restaurants. The staff is friendly and the breakfast was there when I wanted it. It is great to accept Sandbank when needed. However, when I booked the speedboat from the airport to the accommodation, I was very annoyed because I had to be anxious for an hour because I did not pick up the airport or contact me. There is no soap or shampoo in the bathroom, so you need to bring all toiletries and no hair dryer. Because the foreign matter on the bedding is very clean, it is very wet And when checking in, I felt a little forced to visit. The owner of the hotel is friendly but very helpful.

This is a very nice island, the environment is very beautiful, the scenery is very beautiful, the hotel staff is very warm and friendly, recommend everyone to come and play!

I was provided a room at this hotel due to my original hotel booking advising they had temporarily closed due to a maintenance problem. I had no problem with the room apart from the fact it had no TV which my original booking stated was included. The only problems I had related to boat tours. After checking in I made bookings on 3 shared tours. My first tour was the evening fishing trip advertised from 4pm to 9pm. I was picked up from my hotel at 5.30pm and taken to the port then shuttled out to a big boat where we started fishing at 6pm. We were returned to the port at 8.45pm. Even though I lost 1.5 hours of fishing time I was still charged the full cost of the tour. My second tour was to Madivaru Island & Madivaru Finolhu sandbank departing at 10.30am. I waited in the lobby area of the hotel until 11am. No appearance and no communication from anyone. My third tour was a morning fishing trip departing at 5.30am. I waited in the lobby of the hotel until 6am and again no appearance or communication from anyone. I was also owed $5US but on the day I checked out the reception guy was no where to be seen. and no attempt to repay me had been made earlier.

Very good stay! The service is very good and very friendly! The hotel service is very meticulous, the service is very good, the breakfast is very good! Give five stars a good review!

We are just back from a fantastic week in Rasdhoo where we lodged at Club Gabbiano. I really wish I could give a higher mark to this hotel because in the end we had such a good time, but there are some things that I really have to mention for the other fellow travellers. HIGHS The location is the best on the island, hands down: right on the beach. The two best rooms (601 and 701) as well as the restaurant/breakfast room on the terrace have amazing views of the bikini beach.Our room was very big with a lovely balcony with bean bags to lounge on, we used it every day, it was really worth the little extra price! Iti is very basic, way more basic than it looked in the pictures but I have no complaints at all (you also get a water boiler, plenty of instant coffee and a fridge and filtered water every day). Airco is temperamental but it worked fine for us. The beds are super comfortable, lovely soft sheets and nice pillows so sleep quality was amazing. They give you plenty of shower and beach towels, all you have to do is ask (mindful of the environment of course, but they will not skimp on giving you fresh ones at all!). The staff of the hotel was super attentive. I didn't catch any names but: The person who manages the whataspp chat: whatever we asked to organize or clarify he was always promptly answering, always kind with a solution even when we kept changing our mind, really really great service (if you need anything also for the booking or the speedboat, don't email just whatsapp!). I had no idea if WE actually met this guy at the hotel (we jokingly called him ”the chatbot” :-)) but HE was great. Also the other guys at the hotel (sorry I didn't catch any names) the one organising the excursiones (which we called ”the artist” because he painted all the colorful drawings around the hotel and beach restaurant and was playing the guitar in the lobby) and the guy minding the reception (called ”the guy with the ponytail”) were super kind and amazing to deal with. Thanks guys, you really bumped the rating up! LOWS The hotel simply does not look like the pictures: apparently the structure was built in 2019 and considering that it should have been empty for quite a long time during the pandemic, it looks like it has been hit by a hurricane. The place is really not well maintained. It looked shabby and ran down. The reception was messy and unkempt, the common areas barely kept together. Building on a tiny island is not easy (and we have been to other local islands as well so we have comparisons) but this hotel has either been built in a rush or not mended at all. It is ok for a little hotel in a local island to look simple but this was beyond it: it was not cared for. The open bathrooms are a disaster: they do not look exotic just shabby. The idea was good but the execution is not ok. Our shower didn't drain properly so the entire bathroom floor was constantly soggy and swampy. When the shower got properly clogged they came promptly to drain i
