Sands Grand Hotel

I have to say I was sceptical that we choose 4*. In my opinion it was clearly 4*+. We were delighted by the hotel and most importantly restaurant. Service (Thuwan and sorry I dont know the name of the girl) in restaurant was very professional. Hand behind the back and very polite behavior. Love it! And the kitchen did very good job in cooking and I wanted to take him home :) . Next thing, manager of the hotel Shaheen is very good person and dealt with a small issue we had with speedboat and tried to fix it himself (he was not obligated to do that). He was also very well informed and very educated, so it was very easy to speak with him about anything and he also made time for us for a small talk. Yoosuf is very good young man with very good personality and he is a very good trip guy there. He knows everything literally and if he does not, he will find it as soon and possible and learn it. The only thing I have to say are mosquitos (not the issue of hotel) and the electricity. It has some weird behaviour, but not a deal breaker. Rooms are very clean although I would change toilets and showers. This is why I put 4*. This can be done easily and I think they will get it done very soon :) If I could I would go there again since this hotel and island is a paradise and I got in love with this place :)

Camere grandi, pulitissime. Semplici ma arredate con gusto, unico neo i letti duri. Però veramente un attenzione al cliente che ho faticato a trovare anche in Italia. Il cibo meraviglioso preparato apposta per noi (no buffet a pranzo e cena) fresco e davvero ottimo, perfino la pasta era buona! Il ragazzo delle escursioni Yoosuff è veramente esperto, gentile e affabile. Dhigurah è magnifica e soggiornare qui è stata davvero un'ottima scelta.

Di base le Maldive ti restano nel cuore, spiaggia fantastica, tramonti unici, e le persone sono meravigliose, abbiamo solo che da imparare da loro. Abbiamo soggiornato 1 settimana in questa struttura e ci siamo trovati benissimo. Stanze pulite ogni giorno, compresi teli/asciugamani etc. Lo staff anch’esso fantastico Ci ha accolto il manager “Shaheen” persona molto gentile e disponibile. La nostra guida per le escursioni “Youseff” molto giovane ma molto esperto, molto gentile e simpatico Speriamo un giorno di tornare in questa isola e che resti sempre così! Basically the Maldives stay in your heart, fantastic beach, unique sunsets, and the people are wonderful, we only have to learn from them. We stayed 1 week in this structure and we had a great time. Rooms cleaned every day, including towels/towels etc. The staff is also fantastic We were welcomed by the manager "Shaheen" very kind and helpful person. Our guide for the excursions "Youseff" very young but very experienced, very kind and nice We hope one day to return to this island and that it always stays like this!

Ok property

The food is good. But its not clean, has cockroach. Smell awfull. You have to say to change towels and sheets. Otherwise they wont change it. Towels smell bad. Water you have to buy. Overall not recommended. Staff is nice and polite.

We spent seven nights at this hotel, from the moment we arrived, we were greeted with genuine friendliness and kindness that set the tone for our stay. We were two couples and both the rooms were spacious, clean, and well-maintained throughout our visit. Fresh towels, including beach towels, were always readily available. The food was consistently nice, thanks to the talented chef and the kind waiter that always tried to fulfill our needs. Each meal was a delightful, served with care and professionalism by the attentive staff. Special thanks to the wonderful waiter, who always delivered service with a smile and kind words, making every meal feel special. One night he also prepared a special dinner for us with fresh grilled fish. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our time was filled with meaningful experiences, offering excellent advice on what to see and do in the area. Nothing seemed to ruffle their calm demeanor—they were always ready to help with anything and everything, making us feel like family. The people, the service, and the attention to detail made it an experience I will cherish forever.
