Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Very safe place, every room has a tiny garden with seats and shower. Outside is shared open place , great for children. There is a free water from the filtration, no littering. You can have tea, coffee anytime for free. Outside there is a big fan, very comfortable. Everything is very clean. So many places for drying clothes, great for family with children and divers too. Staff is so nice and speak a good English. Maybe this us not the most luxury place but very usefull and comfortable. I felt like at home.

Perfect spot! The bed was very comfortable and had plenty of pillows. There was lots of space in the room as well as a little patio that was enclosed and private. Also had a shower out there so you could get the sand off before you went in your room. Adam and the family had everything I needed and a delicious breakfast!

The first was in 2018. Things have changed. They sell fruit on the beach, there's water-shower... A lot of turtles. Went fishing in the evening. She was doing pressure. I'll be back. Adam, thank you for your hospitality! Always will. We had breakfast and dinner with the baby. Parents breakfast and lunch.

We stayed at the guest house in August, 2022 and it was great! Our speedboat trip to Thoddoo was a bit frightening because of storm and we didn't expect much of the holidays, but Adam managed to make our vocation wonderful. We booked only bed& breakfast (which was tasty and different every morning), but decided to try dinner as well. I would definitely recommend having dinner in Palm Garden. It is always delicious and Maldivian)) The staff are very friendly, responsible and easy-going and did their best to help us. We had to change our plans and Adam helped us to arrange everything we needed. Moreover, there were some nice surprises while our stay in Palm Garden: my mother and daughter had their birthdays and two big tasty cakes were cooked for them! If we have an opportunity to go to Thoddoo in future , we will stay at Palm Garden again)

I only could recommend Palm Garden. Very nice place and people in there, we had everything what we wanted, even more! Food delicious, rooms always clean and beds extra comfortable. Location also good. Pretty close to both beaches, sunset and sunrise.

We have booked 2 double room with patio at Palm garden on 28/Dec/2017. When we reached the property the hotel manager denied us to provide the both rooms in spite of booking confirmation. He told us that he have only one room available. He offered us 2nd room in some other cheap guest house. He 1st told us 2nd room is under renovation, so cannot provide now. But we discovered that we booked room with patio were not under renovation. Then he told us his general manager has booked our patio room to some other guys. He left us with no choices. The person ruined our holiday. Don't trust this hotel manager Adam. They are terrible.

We stayed 18 days at Palm Garden and still, it was hard to leave and get back to France ! Adam is a wonderful host, and his guest house is a precious gem in a wonderful island. The garden is incredibly peaceful, beautiful and romantic :) The room are very nice and very confortable (the bed was amazingly confortable !) ; cleaning is done every day. Every day, new towels for bathroom and for beach. Bikini beach is 10 mn walking and 4 mn biking across the papaya plantations. And it worth it !!! The beach is awsome ! The food is delicious (we took breakfast and dinner). Adam can organize octopuss hunting (and we ate it after, it was so good !), fishing at sunset (and we also ate the fishes) and a lot of others wonderful activities. It's a 20/20 holidays at Palm Garden !

1 - VERY KIND StAFF- the twins brothers who run this guesthouse pick up us from the speed boat, they give us a lot of info and show us the island, we highly aporeciated it. They were always very Kind, they prefer to be paid with USD but they accept rufya. Really very kind and recommended to stay with
2- BREAKFAST- its not buffet its only a maldivian breakfast without juice... so for me its not enough food... but I usually eat a lot, so it could be enough for you
3- DiNNER - we paid breakfast and dinner, the quantity was not enough for me... the last night it was ok because we had 2 kind of fish, boiled potatoes , salad and fruits... but the other 2 nights only fruits and a little dishe of mixes rice or something like that... for the price we paid (10usd for dinner) it was not enough because this kind of dishes + juice + water cost around
4- QUIET- so you can relax and take it easy at night, its very good, so you will be fun of energy for doing tours or diving...
5- BEACH- the bikini beach is around 7 min walking... and its well worth because its very nice
6-PRICE- we paid 225 usd for 3 nights, breakfast and dinner included, we choose this option because there are not so many restaurant in this Island...
7- PLACE- you can visit Rasdhoo and picnic Island.... dive.... and visit Ukulhas island (it has a very nice beach) You can reach thodoo through local ferry (10usd) to rasdhoo and after to thodoo or by spead boat (50usd) , the twins are very kind and they will send someone to welcome you at the airport and to guide you to the speed boat, at Malé! So you will be very pleased
8- WiFI DoESNT work properly... the wifi doesnt work properly and the last night it doesnt work until next morning.
