Hazim che si occupa della struttura è un ragazzo davvero gentile e disponibile.
La cucina del ristorante semplice e buona.

"The accommodations are clean, reasonably priced, and offer engaging activities. Located just steps from the sea, the property provides easy access to a beautiful beach and stunning ocean views. The host is exceptionally kind and attentive. He also serves as a skilled captain, guiding guests to the most spectacular diving spots nearby."

"Our stay at Azul Retreat was wonderful. Mohamed and team were great at making sure everything was ok. We stayed in a sea view room with stunning views. Highly recommended. The hotel is in the quiet part of the island which was great. Although the balcony faces the street you still feel secluded like having your own piece of paradise. Breakfast was cooked from fresh every morning and it was plentiful. You have continental or Maldivian options. Both lovely. Mohamed arranged a shake shark tour for...

"Leider kein Frühstück im Gästehaus, mussten in eine Snackbar. Jeden Tag das exakt gleiche Frühstück. 3Toast mit 1Spiegelei, 2 Würstchen , ein Klecks Butter und Marmelade. 2Flaschen Wasser. 1Kaffee oder 1 Tasse Tee. Leider auf der ganzen Insel das einzigste zum Essen, die anderen hatten alle geschlossen. Schöner erholsamer Urlaub, viel Ruhe.
Der Gastgeber ist sehr nett und Hilfsbereit, mit etwas Geduld kümmert er sich um Alles. Die Strände sind traumhaft."

"Banyan Villa is a wonderful place to stay! I really enjoyed my time there and the very homey feel of the villa. The staff, especially Husnee, Ashraf and Habib are all so incredibly friendly, accomodating and I can't thank them enough for their hospitality. The villa was very clean, the food was wonderful, very healthy and so fresh. Thank you to all the staff at Banyan Villa for making our stay in Dhangethi so wonderful and memorable! We will definitely be back! "

"The value you get for your money when you stay at Dhamana Beach is unmatched in every sense of the way. You obviously should not expect a five star experience on this budget but what you get when you choose Dhamana is actually far more than we expected in this price range. The value is incredible. Especially the crew make this place what it is. They stopped at nothing to make sure we had the best stay possible and even agreed to customize one of their excursions quite a lot to make sure it...

Top South Ari Atoll Hotel Reviews

LUX* South Ari Atoll
10/10 Excellent
"This resort definitely lives up to its 5 star rating! Top quality service, gorgeous food and amazing amenities. "

Noovilu Suites Maldives
10/10 Excellent
"Great"

Radisson Blu Resort Maldives with 50 percent off on Sea Plane round trip 03 nights & above
4/10 Poor
"Not “All-Inclusive” – Very Misleading for the Price
We booked an all-inclusive package only to discover at the resort that it was highly restricted.
You only have access to selected restaurants, meals are limited to three courses, and the drinks menu is extremely basic. The wines included in the package were very low quality (roughly $5–$10 bottle range), and cocktails were noticeably watered down.
If this were a few hundred per night, I would consider it acceptable. However, at over €1,000 per night, this is completely unreasonable. What’s more concerning is that once at the resort, we were told that a “full” all-inclusive package existed - but required paying a significant additional amount per person, per night. This was never clearly communicated at booking.
Activities on the island were also priced excessively high, which made the overall experience feel transactional rather than premium.
The food quality was average at best, and service was often slow.
On the positive side:
The villa and island are beautiful, spacious, and offer great privacy. The staff were friendly and welcoming.
However, communication issues started from day one. Our seaplane transfer was booked incorrectly twice, despite providing exact flight details in advance. A friend had warned me about similar issues from their stay 1–2 years ago, and unfortunately the same problems persist.
I will avoid Radisson properties in the future"

Lonuhiri at Dhigurah
10/10 Excellent
"The three bed room is amazing, it is large and comfortable. It is probably the best room type on the island. "

Whaleshark Beach
10/10 Excellent
"This is a very efficiently run hotel with lovely staff. Everything from arranging our speedboats, transfers to and from the dock to housekeeping to checkout was perfectly organized. The bed was comfy and the room had everything we needed. "

OUTRIGGER Maldives Maafushivaru Resort
10/10 Excellent
"Everything was incredible and all the staff extremely kind and professional. "

Beach Hotel Dhigurah
10/10 Excellent
"Extraordinary stay at beach hotel Dhigurah. From pick up to drop off it was by far one of the best places we have stayed at. Starting off with the staff/management. They went above and beyond to help you, probably some of the hardest workers we have seen during our travels. From dusk to dawn these people are working hard and always have a huge smile on their face and go out of their way to greet you at all hours of the day. They are so well organized from pick up at the airport, boat ride to the island, transfer to the hotel and during our stay it was hassle free. Isham (the manager) was there to greet us upon arrival at the hotel. He gave us information about the island and exchanged WhatsApp’s so if we had any questions during our stay he would help us (which we did and he always responded quickly!) he organized, along with his staff excursions for whale shark snorkeling (which we were lucky to see !) fishing (which they cooked our catch the next day) scuba diving and even our sea plane back to Male ("
