Very nice stay in Dhangethi
Reviewed By 36sandratEndheri sunset is a small hotel right at the beach with nice friendly staff and many excursions available. Good communication beforehand. Everything can be arranged before and during the stay. I booked the all inclusive package. All inclusive doesn't mean what it usually means at other holiday resorts, so be prepared. There is no bar or buffet. Three meals a day which you can choose from a small menu. (There is a bigger menu but this is not for guests with all inclusive packages...) The meals are very good. No snacks in between. Only water and softdrinks from a fridge that is only open when staff is on site. So "All inclusive" is relative. Very comfortable bed, hot water and great view from the room. All meals at the beach. Great excursions, however only possible when weather permits. For me that meant I was not able to do all the excursions I paid for, but they tried to offer something else. All in all, good value for money.

Amazing stay
Reviewed By 565evgeniiiThis was our first time in the Maldives and we wanted to keep accommodation costs on a budget, so we could spend more on activities and try out new experiences. After a bit of research, we found Banyan Villa with quite convincing reviews and decided to contact them directly to make the arrangements. They replied to us quite swiftly and could consult on the most important questions before the journey, so we felt secured and informed from the beginning on. After arriving to Male airport and nearly 2 hours trip on a speed boat (which was actually quite bumpy, so be prepared), we finally came to the Dhangethi island. We were picked up on a pier by a hotel manager who organized a transfer of our luggage to the guesthouse and showed us the main parts of the island while walking to it. After a few formalities and a detailed explanation where to find what on the island we got the keys and could check in in our garden view room. It turned out to be commodious, clean and had all necessary things in it except for a safe, but the manager assured us that it's not necessary and there is a surveillance system outside of the rooms, so that was fine for us. Also later on we noticed that there is no soap provided for general hygiene purposes, but we could get an extra bottle of shower gel instead.? After that we had a meal in the villa, nicely prepared and pretty delicious. It tastes more like a homemade dish rather then a usual hotel-like food, but we actually appreciated it even more because of this. You can really taste local food there. In the coming days we had different types, usually fish and everything was tasty and prepared with love. A big thank you to the cook there! Btw a small tip: ask the guys to prepare you a maldivian breakfast, it's amazing. I wish we did this earlier and not only on the last days. And another tip: try out night fishing, it's not only fun to do so, but also guys will grill you the fish you catch on coconut shells, that's really something to try out. So we left our belongings in the room, picked beach towels provided to us and headed to a beach. It's good to mention that there are 2 types of beaches: touristic one also known as a bikini beach and a local one where you should be covered (i.e. it's not allowed to wear close where one could see a swimming suit underneath). The bikini beach is public for all tourists staying on the island, but it's not very occupied, there were around 15 people tops at the same time. You can find wooden sunbeds there if needed. Sand there is trully white, water is clean, warm and looks amazing, like on the pictures. The only downside is that it's pretty fleet, no more than 60 cm at the deepest point.. but that seems to be normal for Maldives. We found a deeper spot in 10 minutes walking/swimming distance in direction to the local beach far end. Aside from that, we tried out many different activities: snorkeling, diving, fishing and so on. The underwater world on Maldives is terrific and magnificent. It's fun to watch different kinds of fish, turtles, mantas on a close distance and swim with them. Definitive recommendation. Also many thanks here for the villa manager Husnee (hope I spelled the name right), who was very supportive, optimistic and enthusiastic. He showed us so many cool places, guided us in many snorkeling sessions and was easy going and always ready and happy to help. We appreciated it very much. The vacation went too quickly, but we carry on a lot of good memories from it. And the hotel stuff made it went by easy and positive, so a definitive recommendation from our side, we'd come by again with pleasure. P.S. at the time of writing, it was mandatory to have PCR test results upon departure required by maldivian government, so it could be arranged by the stuff at the villa for a fare price and you don't need to go somewhere else to do so. A small, but convenient thing.

Very professional diving team
Reviewed By sergey_sixamssI didn't stay in the hotel but dived with the Ariston Dive Center: did the 5-dive Advanced Open Water course plus a number of leisure dives, including night dives (and rented the diving gear from Ariston, too). All the dives are perfectly organized, the Ariston's own diving boat is newly repaired and very nice, with air tank holders, freshwater shower and sun deck. The crew is very attentive, skilled and professional, they take care of anything you need or might want, so you can relax and just enjoy the diving experience. Very special thanks to Haibe — the best dive instructor.

8. Dhangethi Inn
Overall Ratings
5 based on 9 reviews
Dhangethi Inn is much better experience than my other (much more expensive) stay in Dhangethi.
Reviewed By masha1810Dhangethi Inn was my second hotel at the island and i can highly recommend it. Clean, spacious room, perfect location. There is a kitchenette guests can use (but local cafes are great/inexpensive). There is a laundry (big plus!). The host Tholal is exceptional - very helpful and i felt as if i am staying with my family. Pros: guest rooms are on a second floor (less /no mosquitos that practically ate me alive in my first hotel). Make sure you bring mosquito repellent and (very important) anti motion sickness pills. Transfer from/to Male can be rough and also some of the executions can take few hours. Breakfast is at the water front restaurant nearby (separate from the hotel, you get a coupon). It was my favorite time of the day to enjoy my morning coffee overseeing the harbor. Met new friends too ! The layout of the dining room encourages socializing over coffee/tea and fun conversations. (Which was important for me as a solo traveler to not be alone all the time). Plenty of drinking water provided (important in the heat). No Cons. Everything was as good as it gets. Do not hesitate- the island is great, lots fun activities and the host will help you navigate through the exertions options. Also, in the Maldives, host arranges ferry from/to the airport, so everything goes smoothly.

very nice place,very nice people,very nice island
Reviewed By Dan BThe place is in Dhaghethi island, 90 minutes from Male with speedboat. It is a small island with dirt roads,but no dust in the air,with rich tropical forrest and beaches of white sand all around,but only a small bikini beach.The rest of beaches require t shirt and shorts knee long.Excelent place to see whale shark,manta ray, reef fish...The inn collaborates with an excellent dive center.The restaurant is on the sea shore,so you eat all meals in a fantastique landscape.Only terrestrial mammals are cats,which are good hunters,like little tigers.
