Nice location, but no service standard at all. Poor customer service
Reviewed By ShaaahDXBTo begin with, I must agree that the hotel is located at a very convenient location and on beach front. Rooms are spacious and fitted with all required amenities. On arrival, I was met by a maldivian staff in reception who struggled to find my booking eventhough I had reserved my room on booking.com. after about 15 min it was sorted out and i was asked to sit in the lobby while a drink was served. I was taken to my room within 30 min of arrival and it was around 3pm. I clarified the roof top restaurant opening hours at the reception prior to check in as I intended to dine at the hotel and did not want to go out. I was informed that the roof top restaurant would be open daily form 2pm in to the evening. So, around 1900hrs, I went up to roof top. It was empty and no staff was visible. I stayed for about 20 min and saw one kitchen staff passing bye. I walked up to him as he did not bother to come n ask me what I was doing there. I told him I was there to get a meal. Then he just went out saying nothing. After few min a waitress came to me with a menu. No greeting as she approached me. No smile at all. Seems like she felt I dont need to be respected as a guest. Maybe my skin color was not her taste n she maybe feeling I was a poor guy with no money. Then I asked her why she was so rude and why even others did not care to talk to me even when I was seated there for morethan 20 min . I told her i was paying the amount hotel demanded me to pay and that it was the same rate anyone would have paid to stay and that i did not even negotiate for the rate. I asked her to provide me the service that would reflect value for what i paid. Anyway she listened and as i asked for manager she said he was not there and was in male. Finally i got my food which was tasteless . My point t here is, when you check the hotels in hulhumale on various booking sites, it is clear that this is one of the most expensive hotel charging you premium rates. But the service is horrible. Also the hotel housekeeping works at odd hours causing a lot of disturbance as they move noisily on the floor. Also the linen does not smell fresh and toiletries were not refilled. The general cleaners there have no intention to listen and help you. For the rate this hotel charges, I would recommend everyone to really avoid this fake hotel. Poor service n no value for money. You could have a better experience in many other good hotels in Hulhumale for much more less amount than what this hotel charges Really, horrible service and I will never return to this place.

Clean but owner is shady
Reviewed By TiffanyKahlRoom was very small but clean. Decent for an overnight stay to catch a seaplane. Breakfast was lovely. Don't request a wake up call because you will be told to set an alarm on your phone. Owner, Thomas, told me upon check out that he "had a problem with me" and said Agoda (who I booked through) hadn't paid him for my stay. I figured it was pay upon stay as I wasn't charged at time of booking 9 months prior or since. I paid him, even though it was significantly higher than the rate I booked via Agoda, and was on my way. I got home a few days later and realized Agoda had ALSO charged me for the room. I contacted Thomas immediately about a refund, less the water we took from the minibar, and was never responded to. I tried to dispute the charge on my cc and he fought it and so has now been paid twice for my stay. Agoda will also not respond to me. The cleanliness and breakfast was certainly not worth what I paid. Steer clear.

Horrible experience- terrible hotel
Reviewed By ScubaKim28We unfortunately had to quarantine while in the Maldives. They put us in this hotel and it was AWFUL. The room smelled like mold and had Rats in the walls. The room was very dirty. It's supposed to be a quarantine hotel for covid positive or people in close contact with a covid positive. They let everyone mingle and had buffet style meals. The staff, including the owner, didn't wear masks. We were told meals would be brought up to our room but we had to argue with them every time to get the food delivered. We didn't want to eat buffet style and increase our chances of testing positive. The food was AWFUL. The owner said we could order anything off the menu and it was included in the price we were forced to pay. That was a lie. If it wasn't their buffet food they charged us for it. Every meal was a battle to get it delivered. The staff was incredibly rude. The Maldives government says unvaccinated travelers need to quarantine for 14 days, the hotel let them out after 4 days. They did a covid test that wasn't real.... then let us leave before we got the results. It was all a joke and a ripoff. Do everything you can to avoid this hotel. Way overpriced, dirty and rude. They obviously don't care about the safety of people.
