"Mukavan pieni majatalo jossa oli ystävällinen henkilökunta ja hyvä palvelu. Huoneessa tehokas ilmastointi ja jääkaappi johon mahtui hyvin juomat ja muut kylmää vaativat elintarvikkeet. Erittäin mukava siivooja ja siivouksen taso. Sijainti hyvä, keskellä saarta joten jokapaikkaan lyhyt matka. Aivan saaren pääkadun vieressä mutta silti rauhallinen sijainti. Vieressä yli 600-vuotta vanha Bayan -puu joka oli vaikuttava ilmestys. Kalastusretkeä voi suositella. "

"I usually do a lot of research on my dive trips, this shop pop up right away and booked my trip as we only have few days left to fly to the Maldives. Busy life!! I have been diving for 20 years now. I usually get paired up with someone i have no knowledge of their diving profile, so its always a hit and miss. Well, the experience did not disappoint me. They went above and beyond. Because of what I do for a living, and I know where to tell my hard earned to go ... I know what is GOOD AND BAD. I...

"My friend and I had a very nice time during our stay at Endheri Sunset guest house. The staff were friendly and charming. The island was mostly very beautiful. The food plan we had while fairly basic, was mostly filling, tasty, and good. The diving was generally very good, and our guide Eaman was very professional. The snorkelling was good too although some of the surrounding reef was a bit sparse or dead in parts, I still spotted octopus, rays, small reef sharks etc. Just one word of caution,...

However we were all expecting air conditioning throughout in the water villa especially it’s an enclosed bathroom. There was no AC nor fan in the bathroom and was recommended not to open the door in between the bedroom & bathroom which caused condensation.
