Ocean Retreat & Spa

Our 2nd week on Maldives having been to Maldives 9 years ago. New to this island. It reminds me of what Maafushi was probably like 20 years ago. I can see it ending up like Maafushi with 50 hotels and tons of restaurants. At the moment it is quite untouched. Very reasonable priced hotels. I paid £50 a night for our room for 2. This was more a rustic guest house rather than hotel. There is NO LIFT. I have severe walking difficulties so found our room on the third floor difficult to get to. Everything you would expect in this rustic guest house. Although there for 6n not once was ANY of our 3 rooms cleaned. No towels changed etc. Breakfast was sufficient but basic buffet. toast and croissants provided as well as boiled eggs, 'chicken' sausages and kind of turkey bacon. Usual cereals and 'fruit' juices/tea/coffee. Took about 10 mins to walk to bikini beach. Don't be fooled with the hotel photos as it looks like they have their own beach. There is a terrace on the top floor with an old indoor jacuzzi bath (but not switched on or any water). This terrace had beautiful sea views. Also bikini beach is very beautiful but not very good due to seating. It is clean. sea is beautiful but it lacks basic amenities. There are about 8-10 double sunbeds covered areas but that's it. There's the odd couple of broken damaged sunbeds but that's it. Only a couple of palm trees providing shade. Think this island could make a fortune if they had sunbeds for hire. As previously stated I have mobility issues so getting actually down on the beach is difficult for me so this impaired my experience. Limited number of places to eat at night and more expensive than other islands. Much quieter pace of life on this island. My party of 6 preferred this island than the busier Maafushi (however, I preferred Maafushi). I think in the future this will be a very populated island. So if you like rustic, quiet islands with very little to do it will suit you. But your options are limited here.

這間居民島很休閒，很適合來放空。 我是買含三餐的住宿，很早以前就預定了，價格實惠。 環島的浮潛點很多，到處都很美。 我們另有包船出海，大約4小時100美金。來回船票US$25/person，以maldives算是很經濟的地方。 建議不要進MALE，真接到這裡來再安排一島一飯店

More then I was expected I just want to thanks to all staff in hotel there are amazing and helpful. First of all you can come to there via private tranfer or public depends what you preferred more but it’s very good both off. Near to the hotel is port few minutes walking. Hotel has amazing welcome room and very clean dining area. Room are very clean with all cofeee tea water just no soap and gel(that you need to take from home) . Beach is the best that I see there in few island oround. You have sun beds and umbrellas for free and it’s only for tourist . Area oround is that you have one small cafe to buy drinks and in the island you will find also a lot to eat . All in I just want to give 10 even I am sure that they will upgrade something after my stay. Thanks a lot for beautiful stay.

Relax Buono X quello che si paga

Extremely Bad Excursion Staff As someone who has traveled to more than 30 countries, this is the first time I will write such a comment. The excursion manager of the hotel is an incompatible person named Zizu. He discriminated against us among other guests because we did not participate in the trip he wanted. He scammed us and charged us $20 extra per head. Moreover, despite this, he always ignored our questions and requests until the last day. Almost everything we dreamed of was ruined because of him. The hotel's biggest problem is Zizu. Apart from this, the kitchen staff was friendly and attentive. Room attendant Khalek was a respectful person who did his job extremely well. The reception was also polite and respectful. The meals were sufficient and satisfying. The rooms, facilities and location were very satisfactory. Guraidhoo is a small and quiet island. Don't go with high expectations. It can be preferred for tranquility and plenty of siesta. But because of Zizu, I would never consider going there again. Thank you to other employees for their interest and concern.
