Hotels near Felidhoo Kulhi, Thinadhoo

I was here in low season, so the rates were extremely reasonable for what was offered. Plumeria bills itself as an affordable resort experience and, on the whole, they do not disappoint. From the first greeting to check-out, the staff is exceptionally good and the entire experience is well organized with a group WhatsApp chat keeping everyone informed of daily activities – many of which are complimentary such as an afternoon tea or a snorkel to a nearby reef. The rooms are a good size, with comfortable beds, toiletries and free drinking water. The next time, I’d request a sea view because the standard room I had was directly across a new addition – with about 10 feet between the balconies of each room. The new building is under construction which meant that any time the curtains were open, construction workers could look directly into one’s room. The Plumeria has large grounds, though the beach area directly in front of the hotel is small. However, it’s only about a 5 minute walk down the beach to the bikini area that is designated for the hotel. The reefs on that side of the island are spectacular – very broad and shallow with lots of sea life and interesting corals. The best part, as others have mentioned, is the food. Compared to the other hotel I stayed at in the Maldives- this was on another level. The choices and quality were better than on many higher end resorts, with at least 5 different delicious salads on offer, a variety of breads and desserts, pre-cooked buffet items and freshly cooked stir-fries, pastas, among other things. I was really impressed with what the kitchen was turning out every day and the service was wonderful as well. The paid excursions were very good, but it should be noted that most require 6 participants, so if your heart is set on seeing whale sharks, for example, don’t count on it happening unless you get 5 other people signed up. Unless you’re there for a longer time, you may never get the required number of people. The only other criticisms I’d have, is that during my stay, there were no working TV channels, and the Wifi signal was very weak – at least in the room. Other than that, this is a wonderful hotel and I’d definitely recommend it for an affordable but excellent Maldives vacation.

We stayed at Ecoboo during our trip to Maldives this year in 2024 July. We booked it through their website and the Staff member who attended us (Jessica) was extremely responsive We stayed for 14 nights, and loved every bit of our stay. We were very warmly greeted by the Product Manager Hugo and the front desk officer Dhamsara when we arrived and the staff was kind and helpful throughout the stay. The room experience was pretty great and calming to the nerves I would say. The staff was so active , we left our room even for a short while and it was all dressed up again when we were back, thanks to Kudos and to Ronald, who is the sweetest honestly, catered to all my requests with a big smile. :) During my first snorkelling trip I freaked out quite bad to see the open waters and refused to jump but the excursions crew i.e Shabeen, Inkey & Jambay were very patient and helped me through each step from helping me go through the stairs (grandma style) to breathing exercises to calm my nerves down when i finally got in, it was worth every penny and every bruise, as Maldives has the most clearest waters and there is a whole beautiful world under that most people don't know about. ;') Food was good too, and i could definitely sense that the chef and the kitchen crew took it to heart if you dont show up for lunch/dinner some day, which shows their strive for excellence, very sweet people honestly. Thinadhoo is a quiet and peaceful island and Ecoboo is a very thoughtfully constructed property i would say, its on the beach so you dont have to walk too far to chill, the eating area is right beside the beach too. All in all a very exotic and calming experience. Loved every bit of it, and would definitely recommend to friends and family.
