Beach Hotels in Mandhoo

We recently had the opportunity to stay at a family-run guesthouse on five different islands in the Maldives, and we can confidently say that the guesthouse we stayed at was by far the best of them all. Not only was the service and hospitality exceptional, but the island itself was a true paradise. The beautiful nature and stunning beaches were truly breathtaking. The crystal clear water and white sandy beaches were like something out of a postcard. We spent many hours exploring the island and its surroundings, taking in the breathtaking views of the ocean and the lush vegetation. The island is surrounded by coral reefs teeming with colorful fish and marine life, which made snorkeling a highlight of our stay. We were lucky enough to see mantas, dolphins, sharks, sting rays and many more fascinating sea creatures during our stay. The snorkeling and diving opportunities were truly exceptional, we even came close to seeing a whale shark by an hour but unfortunately missed it. But what truly made this family-run guesthouse stand out was the exceptional personal service provided by the staff. The owners and staff went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. They were always available to help with any requests or questions we had, and they truly made us feel like valued guests. A special touch to our stay was that we were served breakfast and lunch directly on the beach (different spots) which made our experience even more special and memorable. In short, if you are looking for a Maldives vacation that offers the best of both worlds - exceptional service, beautiful island, stunning beaches, amazing marine life, and a family-run atmosphere - then this guesthouse is the perfect choice. It was hands down the best stay we had on the whole Maldives, and we cannot recommend it enough.

breakfast, dinner options were exceptional apart from the atoll restaurant buffet on the sunday evening which was v. poor

Mandhoo island is the undiscovered treasure. Meanwhile it is a half resort island, there are almost no tourists in local residential part. On the beach You could feel like Robinson Cruz. Infinite lagoon is a small hotel (only three rooms) with cousy inner yard. Owner is very helpful, but You should be prepared to pay US dollars by cash with aditional taxes for services. Despite this unconfortability everything is perfect.

- The alpha & omega of this resort is the staff. So friendly, smiling and willing staff I haven't experienced yet! From the cleaning service to the restaurant staff to the reception - all of them are very helpful and you have felt that they are only for you there! A huge praise for the personal manager who is in charge of this. - You often feel like the island is just for you. Great privacy. This is perfect for INTROVERTS. - Resort was very clean including beaches. - The village walk tour outside the resort was amazing and strongly recommend to you if you want to see how the local people live! Big thank to the Zee (If I remember correctly the name) from reception for a guide.

Great Resort, we stayed in the over water villa and it was fabulous. The hotel organized the sea plane transfers from Male at our request and had a representative waiting at arrivals to make the transfer stress free. This is also the same on the return leg of the journey and they assisted us with check in and security checks. All food we had tried during our stay was excellent, Raha provides plenty of options for food breakfast and dinner. All the staff were extremely friendly during our stay making conservation with guests and making them feel welcome, with particular mention to Zar who we got talking to on multiple occasions in Raha. There are lots of watersports activities to choose from.

The resort was just the right size; neither too big or small. They seem to cater for couples rather than families which meant there were less people at the resort allowing the staff to be more attentive. Everyone was super friendly and the service was 5 star along with the food. We know of a few couples who visited Meeru island for their honeymoon and we did a lot of research and comparisons with Meeru but chose diamonds Thudufushi, and we have absolutely no regrets. Highly recommend this resort for couples.

Drift is a small small resort with a wonderful house reef. We saw sharks, plenty of dish, beautiful corals and was fortunate to meet two turtles several times. We stayed in a water villa and a beach villa. Both was very nice, but the water villa felt lux and we really enjoyed the direct access to the reef. The staff was extremely professional with a polite yet relaxed attitude. The food was also great, good selection and everything we ate was fresh and tasty (we are gourmet eaters..) Execpt enjoying the ocean, there is not much to do except relaxing. Our daughter had a massage and it was very good. Don't miss going down to the yetti at 21:00 to watch the large amount of nurse sharks and other fish, feeding in the light from the yetti.

The service was topnotch Spacious Villas with incredible views and access to crystal clear waters Decent snorkeling experience if you're willing to swim further out

"food" was exceptional - absolutely delicious, the cuisine varied and the Maldivian themed night dinner was just incredible! "reef" was exceptional - excellent snorkelling, for all level of swimmers, they even offer you a free diving experience. "water villa" was exceptional - it was beautiful, well maintained, well located and the housekeeping services excellent. The staff are amazing, they are kind, warm, helpful and welcoming. The beverages are of very high quality. Truly an incredible experience - a must-see on any Maldivian tourist list. And we've been to the Maldives 10 times. This was by far the best experience - the resort and island has an incredibly serene vibe.

We had stayed Centara Grand Island Resort for 5 days over the year end and the new year with our family of 4 including an infant & kid. We enjoyed swimming together with lots of beautiful fishes and leaf sharks in quite transparent sea having lots of corals. In the evening, we could see a beautiful sunset and stars. All of staffs in the hotel have a great hospitality and service spirits that fully satisfied and enjoyed us until the end. The water flooting villa and its amenities always had been kept clean and meals served were really wonderful. We would like to say thank you all in the hotel as our children looked so happy and the trip became an unforgettable memory for us. If we will have a chance, we definitely would like to visit there again.
