Staff were very helpful (proactively contacted our onward resort before we even arrived, and arranged return transfer to airport accordingly).

We stayed at the Ocean Grand for one night on arrival to Male, the hotel staff were great, Sanjay the hotel manager was very helpful. The hotel is small but well kept and it is just across the road from the beach. The hotel is very convenient as it is located on the same island as the airport, so transfers are very quick.
The room was a little on the small side, but was sufficient for one night.

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.

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...

I approached Oblu Ailafushi with some hesitation due to mixed reviews but was thoroughly charmed upon arrival. The resort's willingness to accommodate an early check-in for our family, especially with a young child in tow, was a relief and set a hospitable tone for our stay. The food was a highlight, offering a delectable spread of various cuisines, including exceptional local Maldivian dishes that deserve every bit of their 5-star rating.

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.

We stayed there for a day before going to our resort next day. Somerset is a perfect transit hotel for staying in Male. 5 minutes ferry ride and 5 more mins taxi ride from Male airport.
The complementary pickup and drop from airport was very well arranged by the hotel staff. They even contacted our next resort and arranged the transfers accordingly.

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

Spent a week there and it was amazing!
Staff is so helpful and willing to help in any way they can.
I stayed here and travelled to different islands which I think is better to see the Maldives rather than been secluded to one place.
I will miss it so much and I will definitely be staying there next time.
