"This place seems like somebody used to care but not any more. Despite prior notice there was no-one to meet us off the ferry as the guy had fallen asleep. He then walked us to the place, photocopied our passports with his phone and someone nodded to our room. That was the last we saw of anyone in charge. We had paid for breakfast but there was no sign of that or any facilities to provide it. The room itself was dirty, empty for a long time and clearly just given a quick clean 5 minutes before...

"The owner is cool but friendly. The food price is reasonable and enough to get you full.
The snorkeling is strongly recommend because the view is amazing.
All in all, good memory with hotel staffs."

"We booked Rasdhoo view inn but owner Ali transferred us to his Cousin hotel Banana Residence without delay as his place was full. The stay was good and staff are friendly.
The islands visits were well arranged. Ali's Cousin Azeed and Hussain Brought us to local diving centre "RasdhooScuba" was an excellent choice. The well recommended centre run by Locals (Ibu, Nishar and Simon and team) gave us an unforgettable and wonderful diving experience. Indeed we 'celebrate happiness in Pressure'(the...

"Staying here is like being in someone’s home with really good personal chefs available. You only need a pair of slip ons to leave at the front door and you can walk everywhere on the Island. On days when we didn’t have an excursion we quickly developed a routine of a few hours at the beach , coffee at the local cafe then an afternoon rest. This isn’t a tourist resort with lots of bars and restaurants, more a local way of life experience and relaxing time."

Great property well kept for the most part even though its a bit old. Very clean and the cleaning team does a good job of keeping the inside of the rooms clean.
Fantastic food in all of the 3 restauraunts. Friendly and polite staff. Very mellow vibes. F&B manager is lovely, its not often that you get the f&b manager taking your order at lunch and recommending things to do.
Lovely scenery , nice house reef and the spa was great. Not much to do other than laze around and snorkel which is great...

We absolutely loved the resort. First is the location, it is only about 10 minutes from the airport. We were so happy as we got a free transfer to/from airport because island transfers can be expensive. Second the views from all parts of the property are just stunning. Third the food! We took the all inclusive package and wow the options they had were amazing. We were so full every time. Desserts are the highlight. Fourth the staff, very cooperative and very friendly. Fifth, the rooms! The villa...

This is without doubt the ideal tropical retreat, no motorised vehicles just 46 beachside bungalows spread out around the perimeter of the island, which means that you can walk completely around the island on the beach in 15 minutes! This is the place to come if you want nothing more than water activities, sunbathing,eating,drinking and catching up on your favourite novels.
The ratio of staff to guests is one to one although you may never see the majority as they are working behind the scenes...

Great location in-between islands, about 25 minuets speedboat trip from airport. Welcome tea with iced towel was refreshing and helps sickness from the waves. Private beachfront villa is the best choice with its personal pool and a warm massage pool. The in-villa dining was not expensive with all kinds of options, kids and vegetarian friendly. One restaurant and a bar on the island could cover all your needs. Their steak from the grill was nice and juicy. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was...

We had an amazing stay here. Staff where all excellent especially Hussain and Midhun! But I will say the prices for anyone who is staying non all-inclusive is extremely high! $22 for 2 corona is steep. But overall the hotel and facilities are incredible
