We stayed in this hotel for 4 nights on April. This is our second trip to Maldive. . Given its price, which is realatively cheap compare to other resort in Maldives, Holiday Inn is quite good and value for Money. We stayed in Beach villa and pay about 250 USD per night, the room is clean painted in white so... More

I booked this resort via an online travel agent, based on the recommendations. It was a 3 night short break. It came across as a mid-range resort. The hotel representative was there at the booth of the airport and the transfer to the hotel (45 min by speedboat) went well. No frills. The hotel's main arrival pier was a bit... More

We came to this hotel for the second part of our honeymoon. I must say, on arriving on the island, I hated it! The hotel was a surprise for my honeymoon and my first view was a big 'Hotel Inn' sign and I was worried because I've stayed in a few in the UK and they're not that good! Then... More

We recently went for our honeymoon in April. This was the second insland we visited in the Maldives, we were not disappointed however it wasn't fantastic either. - Overwater bungalow is great! Layout and colors is refreshing (it's a pity the beds didn't face the water) - The only negative about the villa is the outdoor shower. I loved it,... More

The island: 3 main beaches. Access to the sea at other places is sometimes difficult. We didn't mind as we had direct beach access from our villa and went diving at least twice a day. The beaches and the island in general are very tidy. Everything gets cleaned several times a day. Fauna and flora highlights: Flying foxes (very cute... More

Your great team of staff have made an ordinary resort extraordinary! Your restaurant managers and wait staff were very friendly and knowledgable. I enjoyed talking to one of your staff who was in charge of the thursday night West Beach BBQ. He was a fine gentleman from Bangladesh and he used to work in Singapore, our hometown.

We visited 5 islands during our trip to the Maldives, this one was the worst. Most islands have beaches all around and beautiful nature, here there are two beach "areas" where you will see many people, boat exhaust and a pool with a cheap resort feeling. Very disappointing we even had to make day trips to other resort with less... More
