The only thing we didn't like was the aircononditioning that was too strong for us but fortunately we could used ceiling fans.

The staff was kind and always ready to satisfy our requests. We had an excursion early in the morning and they prepared the breakfast to take away before the opening hour. They know also the meaning of "spaghetti al dente". ;) The guesthouse is cozy and in front of the bikini beach. Super recommended.

Rooms were clean and comfy, very close to small but beautiful beaches. People there were very friendly and helpful. Food there was simple but very tasty, always 2 or 3 options for choose. Our son is celiatik and they had no problem to cook for him. Big thanks ❤️

I wouldn’t mind bit more detailed information about daily boat trips

It does say “dive” in title but there isn’t a dive facility attached. They will organise diving for you. They said their boat was out of action so divers had to go to the next island.

It was clean with unusual features. We had an open air shower which was a great feature. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Other than Nescafé coffee (which could be substituted for something better), the property is great value for money.

Helpful and friendly staff, wonderful location, love the outdoor shower, likely the best accommodation on Felidhoo.

absolutely nothing at all

typical Maldivian guest house with chill out laid back style - the staff cannot do enough to please you they are all just amazing. Sandro the housekeeper and Mr Shukur the owner met us off the boat with their luggage trolly and walked us to the property where we were greeted by Sushil the reception manager and Anthony the chef. After a refreshing coconut water we were shown to our lovely room. The food is like Indian, Maldivian, Italian fusion. Anthony is a great chef and again just wants to please with his culinary talent. we had a romantic dinner on the beach for Valentines and the time and effort that Sushil and his team put into making it just perfect blew us away. We will definitely be back

Nothing about the guesthouse. Just the bikini beaches have not that much sand (but also depends the month of year) but the snorkeling is very nice!

very good guesthouse, the staff is so so kind and helpful!!! very good room, bed, air con, big and very nice bathroom with an open air shower, loads of space to beach stuff. Very good food at dinner, nice breakfast with eggs made to your order. Clean, comfortable, water, tea and coffee every time. They help you with the luggage at the welcome and departure . Very nice people and ambience.

The internet was a bit slow, however when we told them about that they solved this issue by giving us the access via another network and even suggested the SIM card with the internet in case it would be still slow.

it was amazing vacation! the guesthouse is very clean and well designed. I really liked the restaurant area, it is outside and has a lot of plants with the roof made of wood and palm leaves, very authentic. You can hear birds and the ocean while having dinner. The bathroom is also very cozy, the shower room has no roof so you can see stars while having shower😍 the room itself has a lot of light and beautiful view on the small garden with banana trees. The food is very good, we had a full board option, and we enjoyed it a lot. The chief Antonio is very friendly and his food is amazing! After we caught the fish during the tour they cooked it and served this fish for dinner, it was great! The beach looking like paradise is 5 mins walking from the guesthouse, in addition the property has another beach in 20 meters from the guesthouse however there was no sand there at this time of the year. The staff was very welcoming and friendly, they were trying to help with any inconveniences. We loved this place and we will definitely come back again!

Our main problem was, that we didn’t get the room that we booked. There are two properties next to each other, working together, one is “Vaali Maldives Island Escape” (as you can see on booking.com), with beatiful rooms, as you can see on the pictures, the other is “Magic Life Guesthouse”, with a lower quality overall. Of course, we didn’t know this beforehand, we booked a room in Vaali Hotel, but we got placed into the neighbouring guesthouse, into an old-fashioned room with no window, concrete floor, and terrible smell in the air. We contacted the boss at Vaali Hotel and asked to get the room we booked, but those were all full. Long story short, we couldn’t really find a solution with him and had to leave. The price we would have payed for the windowless room would have been so excessive, you can easily find better accomodations in Felidhoo for a better price. Just to be clear, the room we got isn’t necessarily a very bad room, the quality is just so far below from what we booked and what it would have cost. (The beach next to the hotel is also not functioning as a whole, there is a fence around for the most part, there is a small bikini beach though.)

The reception staff is very nice, the location of the hotel is near the harbor.

What We Didn’t Like: 1. Beach Quality: • The beaches accessible to foreigners were poorly maintained, with pollution and sharp rocks both on the sand and in the water. Proper footwear is necessary to avoid injuries. 2. Limited Food Options: • The hotel operates on a fixed menu for the entire week, with no flexibility to choose specific dishes like steak or lobster. This made the dining experience repetitive and less enjoyable. 3. Extreme Heat: • The weather was extremely hot (40-42°C) with very little breeze, making outdoor activities uncomfortable. 4. Transportation Costs and Scams: • The transfer from the airport to the island costs $65 each way, totaling $150 for a round trip. Additionally, some boat drivers have reportedly scammed guests by charging them again during the trip, even though the transport fee had already been paid to the hotel. We witnessed this happening to other guests, so be cautious and confirm payment details with the hotel in advance. 5. Activity Providers (External): • We encountered a scam during a fishing activity organized by an external provider unaffiliated with the hotel. After catching 14 fish, the organizer attempted to take the catch for free and charge us for cooking just one fish. This was frustrating, and it serves as a reminder to be cautious when booking activities through external providers, especially in the surrounding area. 6. Cultural Considerations: • Due to local customs, visitors need to dress modestly and are restricted to certain beaches, which may limit their freedom. Foreigners’ beaches are often less well-maintained compared to those reserved for locals. 7. Value for Money: • For the price we paid, the overall experience fell short of expectations. The quality of the beaches, limited dining options, and issues with external providers suggest room for improvement in terms of value for money. The hotel itself offers a pleasant, welcoming atmosphere with friendly staff and comfortable accommodations.

1. Comfortable and Homely Atmosphere: • The hotel had a cozy, home-like vibe thanks to its well-maintained plants and friendly, welcoming staff. The team was incredibly kind and made our stay pleasant. 2. Room Comfort: • The air-conditioned rooms were a great relief from the intense heat, providing a comfortable retreat during the day.

No escape, no dive - boat was unavailable due to maintenance, and any other arrangements with other owners, failed. If you have any expectation about a Maldives trip as you can see in any commercials, please forget. This location should not be graded over 7 when you compare it with other Maldives representative locations. I have realized this when I booked here, but as a minimum: room comfort should be provided (room was spartan: concrete floor, no tv, toilet is under the clear sky but bad smelling, slow and poor internet), the towels should be cleaned (I have repeatedly requested unspotted towels, and even the best towels provided were found partially cleaned, not replaced), decent meal should be provided (minimal menu and the same combination was used every day).

The report price vs quality is well balanced. Close to bikini beach. Personnel is very well intentioned. The transfer arrangements were facilitated by the owner.

The bikini beach had eroded and there was very little to do on Felidhoo. I would suggest staying on nearby Thinadhoo instead as its much more set up for tourism with a bigger beach and cafes and restaurants etc.

It was comfortable and safe

Stayed in October 2024

Bathrooms are smelly could not tolerate the bad odour of the allocated bathroom, changed the room but it was the same. Breakfast buffet has no choice, very poor. Food has no taste and no options too. We stayed for 5 days and our rooms were not cleaned for full stay, slept with rubbish inside the room, imagine rubbish for a family of 7 pcs. Very old and wasted beach 5 towels provided for 7 people.

Location is great. Staff are kind and very helpful.
