Dhonfulhafi Beach View

We vacationed as a family with two children (8 years old and 2 years old). At the moment the hotel has the most favorable location! Rooms overlooking the sea, a gorgeous beach, rich marine life, you can see all sorts of fish, stingrays, turtles, octopus, starfish, moray eel, those who swam away from the hotel saw sharks. At the end of our vacation we already felt at home, we got used to a measured life! I would like to note that during our two weeks of stay we never got bored) I am once again convinced that the main thing is the inner attitude! A little about the disadvantages (which caused us discomfort), because... a lot has already been written about the positive side) - The room on the first floor is dark, although there are two windows, but you can’t open the curtains, as you will be in full view, - We washed ourselves several times in the evening in cold water, there is not enough boiler (although they promised to fix this point after the spring renovations), - Sometimes there is no fruit, but as I understand it, it’s not the hotel’s fault, but the lack of fruit on the island, as there are supply interruptions. There are also few vegetables, no tomatoes, no peppers, and cucumbers are limited. - there aren’t enough umbrellas on the beach (the shade of the trees didn’t quite suit us, but that’s enough). - the beach is cleaned by locals, so they do it as needed, the sand near the water is good, but the bushes are dirty, - By the time we left, they changed the food area and it became cozy), thank you Alexander for listening and hearing! - For now the island is quite secluded, but in the near future tourism will be very developed. But this is a minus for some, a plus for others) - It’s a difficult trip on a speedboat, it makes you very sick, but you can prepare for it. And I would really like to note that for some reason in one review on another site, in the minuses, a large presence of Russians was noted. It was even a shame for all those wonderful guests from Russia with whom we spent our two unforgettable weeks! There are also a lot of Italians in this hotel, in general there are mainly Russians and Italians in the hotel. So, Russians behave quietly and modestly, unlike the loud and noisy Italians. Apparently the characteristics of the nation).

My wife and I visited at the end of January - beginning of February. It took us a long time to choose an island/hotel. We found a review somewhere here that the owner is Russian - and wrote it. Alexander wrote everything in great detail with detailed manuals on where to go and what to do with screenshots. He is always online :) We booked with him, the travel agent turned out to be 100k more expensive for the same dates (but the flight was a little different). An excellent reef (we saw turtles, sharks, stingrays, lobsters and octopuses (the last two at the pier) and all sorts of small fish), 1 km away there is an uninhabited island that we went to, there is just a super color of water and a beach (there are many different excursions and prices 2-3 times less than at resorts). Probably one of the most beautiful reefs in Baa Atoll for sure. By the way, part of the island is occupied by the jungle, I often walked through it, there is an insta-palm tree on which everyone takes pictures. The island also has banana palms and a lot of papaya (from the locals). The holiday is super, who wants to see the life of a local island, a good reef, a sociable attitude and many other good things - I recommend it!

Location with a wonderful view, the room is also very nice .. perhaps some more attention to detail is needed .. the towels should be changed more often, the menu varied a little more and perhaps give guests the opportunity to drink or eat something even out of hours. And then the water... with 30 degrees you should have the possibility to drink much more when you want .. for a fee also ..... but the water "supplied" is ever very little.

We rested for 12 nights from 06/18/23 to 06/30/23. Fairytale island. A wonderful hotel on the ocean. Warm welcome. Punctuality of hotel staff at pick-up and check-out. Homely atmosphere. The hotel staff is very attentive and friendly. The locals of Maalos Island are always friendly and smiling. Everything worked perfectly in the room: WI-FI, air conditioning, fan. White sandy beach, jungle, flying dogs, dolphins, stingrays, a very beautiful reef with a huge variety of fish, crabs, fishing on a boat, an unforgettable excursion to the UNESCO reserve to see manta rays. We celebrated our wedding anniversary at the hotel and were pleasantly surprised by a gift from the hotel in the form of a cake and the romantic holiday atmosphere created. The farewell dinner was also very emotional: to the sound of ocean waves by candlelight. We sincerely thank Alexander and Hanif for spending time relaxing on this paradise island in your hotel. May God grant you all the best, success and prosperity!
