Guraidhoo Homestays

Sincere gratitude to the host Hamdhaan and all his team who made our holiday in Feb 2022 unforgettable We felt like home! I booked 3 Rooms in Ithaa Beach, however when we arrived the host offered to chose between Ithaa and another his hotel Sigeny View. The second one was located at bikiny beach, we chose this one. So the review is not about a hotel but the service, which I beleive is the same in both hotels. We took full board: it was not big choice of dishes, but very fresh and tasty. The portions are big. My favorites: penne with reef fish, tuna fried rice and chicken curry. Amazing seafood bbq: fish, octopus, lobsters. Guys can arrange romantic dinner at the beach or bbq party. Fruits, fresh juses and icecream are available as well. They adore kids. And even played with my restless toddler so I could have my dinner in peace:) My son became best friends with our waiter mister Kalam. Guys made their best to make us happy. And they really did. Hamdhaan organised snorckling excursions for us with dolphins, sharks and reef fishes. Great experience. Two hours ride with dolphins is 20$ per adult and 15$ per child. 4 hours ride with sharks and dolphins is 40$/20$. 2 kayaks, snorkling masks and fins are available in the hotel for free The island itself is very good for family holidays. 40min ride from  Male (speed board is 25$ per person one way). There is a nice beaches where you can find shallow water for kids and dip water to sweem and free dive.  There is an instagramy sand bank and reach home reef for snorkling. We saw muray, baby sharks, stingrays, lobsters there.  Big sharks and sting rays come to marina every evening to feed. Once we saw dophins and a tutrtle near the shore. Even if you don't go for excursions you'll see a lot of animals at the island. There is a manta cleaning spot near the iseland, but manta season is from Jun  to  Sep. We found a badminton playground and played with locals (they have a net, otherwise take your own net with you). And there is a good kids playground. Both located near the  pupblic beach. There are two dive centers. We went to Manta divers: 80$ for intro dive and 55$ for those who have PADI license. Good service, we recommend them. SUP serf - 20$ per hour. The owner, whose name is Chai, gave my 5 years old son a free lesson on SUP, while I was riding mine. Not for tips or make me come again it was a sincere expression of love to kids. Locals are very friendly and always try to help. The hospitality ob  the island is one of my biggest impressions of the holiday. If you want to feel the vibes of Maldives then defenetly come to this place and pass a warm hello from me to mister Hamdhaan!

This is a small guesthouse, it gave us (the budget travelers) a chance to have vacation in Maldives with such a low price. Room rate is budget, value for money. The staff are friendly and helpful. The facilities and cleanliness of the hostel could be improved. Guraidhoo island is quiet and less tourists. This is the place to experience local lifestyle. Speedboat is convenient to go to the nearby maafushi island, which is full of tourists and the beach side there is nice. We know that we couldn’t de***d more as the price we paid is relatively lower compared to other luxurious hotel.

Our company gave us 10 days holiday and our last hotel destination was Marina Bay Retreat and Spa. I and my other 5 colleagues was amazed with the services they have specially diving and snorkeling in Guraidhoo Island. The Hotel is located in front of the beach and if we only know we would have not stayed in a water villa resort. The new manager of Marina Bay is pretty amazing. I feel like I was in Boracay island since the new manager is from the Philippines. He shared his vision to the hotel and well enough, he showed us the real customer service and the value of money we spend during our stay! Definitely we will comeback here!

I came to Maldives not knowing the genuine authenticity of this place and how wonderful and welcoming the community was. Our first point of contact was the phenomenal staff at Moodhumaa Inn. In particular, the owner Mr Latif who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was superb. Our trip and stay were smooth because of this kind man. Upon arrival at Velena airport, we were greeted by the hotel representative who happened to be his son. Our luggage was escorted to the airport’s speedboat station. Our speed boat trip to Guraidhoo Island (where the Inn is located) was arranged by the hotel and all we had to do was pay in USD the boat staff when aboard. Payment can be made upon boarding or upon arrival to Ghuraidoo in cash. The duration of the trip from Male to Guraidhoo was approximately 50min. Upon arrival to the island, Mr Latif personally greeted us at the harbor. Our luggage was handled by the hotel staff and delivered to our hotel room. The Inn was only a short distance walk from the ocean. A cute boutique hotel with very comfortable & spacious rooms with complementary continental and Maldivian breakfast that will bring joy to your heart. HIGHLY recommend trying their tuna-coconut dish with chapati, a true staple! I literally looked forward to breakfast every morning! the wonderful thing about this is that breakfast time is super flexible and all you have to do is inform Mr Latif the night prior of your wishes. You will be provided with a booklet detailing all the local activities and pricing, all of which will be arranged safely by the hotel. We chose to go on a couple of fishing trips (morning and night fishing) which was nothing but spectacular! We got a chance to meet local fishermen like Mr Ibbu who showed us the ropes and took us deep sea night fishing. At the end of our trip, the hotel arranged for a delicious grilled fish dinner (caught by us) which we enjoyed by the end of the night. Everything was paid for in USD, matter of fact USD is accepted everywhere on the island. The hotel will provide currency exchange at anytime which was very convenient. Other excursions including visits to other islands (eg the nearby Maafushi island), extravagant resort day trips, sand bank picnic trips and scenic photo session locations are all options. Simply inform Mr Latif and he will make it happen. Payment for the hotel room can be made in cash upon arrival or anytime throughout your stay. The Inn itself is only a couple of minutes walking distance from the beautiful bikini beach and local top notch restaurants. Everything on the island is walking distance from the Inn. Highly highly highly recommend considering Moodhumaa Inn when visiting the Maldives!
