Alimas Holiday Retreat Maldives

This is the place where you want to be in your next holidays. The place itself is beautiful. Just across the Harbour and 2 minutes away from the bikini beach. Amazing! Rappe, the manager was very kind, and his staff was just incredibly great. The food spectacular. They took care of every detail. We even had a dinner on the beach. They prepared all with so much love. Definitely, a place to be. Thank you! I am grateful I chose this beautiful hotel. Alimas holiday retreat🫶

The hotel was brand new. Everything was modern, comfortable, and clean. The huge bathroom was perfect. I had an issue with the air conditioning not working, but I was given a new room right away. The bed was very comfortable, and I really appreciated having a balcony. The staff was very helpful, and it was great to have the option to book excursions organized directly by the hotel. The hotel is located in the harbor, right at the beginning of the island. Because of this, it’s the furthest point on the island from the bikini beach – about a 15-minute walk (no problem with me). I loved my stay!

The breakfast was a bit underwhelming; I would have expected a wider variety of options for 4 star hotel. But not so bad :)

Tutto meraviglioso. Dallo staff alla pulizia!

The island is great and the local people and staff of the hotel also. The hotel and restaurant are fine.

The manager Rape is totally lost. He has absolutely no idea how to treat the guests to make them feel like home. The main point is just profiting from everything- transfer, excursions, cooking fish you catched by yourself, etc. For excursions better visit the next door hotel- the prices are double cheaper. Even in a resort you can get better prices than this guy Rappe. The small fridge wasnt working and they did not repair for the whole week. The breakfast is basic and the dinner was ok.

We stayed at this hotel in March 2026 and had a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly pleasant and always willing to help. The restaurant was excellent, serving truly delicious food. The rooms were well-equipped with everything we needed. There are at least two nice cafés nearby offering a good selection of dishes and drinks, and the neighboring island is very convenient and pleasant to visit. We did have a minor issue with the sewage system in the room, but it was resolved quickly and efficiently. Overall, a great stay.

Wir haben uns von Beginn an sehr wohl gefühlt. Besonders gut hat uns das Essen geschmeckt. Sowohl beim Frühstück als auch beim Abendessen hatte man immer eine tolle und leckere Auswahl. Wir kommen gerne wieder :)

Es gibt nichts zu beanstanden :)

Posizione di fronte alla bikini beach, staff molto cordiale e ti fa sentire coccolato, per nulla invadente nel proporti le escursioni, si mangia bene ed è possibile chiedere variazioni al menù proposto. In camera c'è sempre presente l'acqua, caffe e bollitore. Nostra Camera superior Deluxe era molto grande, letti larghi e comodi. Ottimo WiFi. L'isola è molto bella, con gli squali nutrice presenti sempre al molo. Ottimo reef per lo snorkeling. Hotel organizza anche le escursioni giornaliere (a pagamento). Insomma, non ci resta che tornare! Grazie Rappe e il team!

Super hôtel avec un service digne d’un resort. Grandes chambres propres et confortables. Petit dej délicieux et variés. Des activités proposées… bon l’île en revanche très calme avec strictement rien à faire mise à part, et c’est déjà pas mal, profiter d’une mer magnifique avec une très belle barrière de corail. Attention beaucoup de courant

Rien

A truly peaceful island experience with breathtaking ocean views. The hotel is very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff were exceptional and genuinely caring. A special thank you to Fahar, Shelat, for looking after me food and any info I required, Shafraz and Mehedi, who kept the room spotless and always made sure we were comfortable during our stay. The service was warm and attentive, and the hotel food was very good. It’s the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the Maldives away from busy resorts.

Breakfast could offer a little more variety each day. There is also no lift, so guests should travel with manageable luggage. Because it is a small island, there are limited cafés nearby, so choosing the all-inclusive option is recommended. Herbal teas should be an option and snacks, little touches to make it more special.

My main focus was the snorkeling and it did not disappointed! The hotel is nearly in front of the bikini beach but, if with proper clothes, we can also use the others, specially if one wants to snorkel around the island. The staff was beyond amazing! Friendly and helpful. I spent my birthday there and they made it very special! I’m very glad with my stay at Alimas!

Struttura ben organizzata, staff gentilissimo, colazione e cena ottime , bella là bikini beach, spiagge e mare bellissimi

Nulla

Ci siamo trovati benissimo! Accoglienza super e tante possibilità di fare escursioni. La posizione è perfetta, a due passi dalla Bikini Beach. È stato davvero come stare a casa, in famiglia. Con il mio bimbo sono stati tutti dolcissimi, coccolosi e super premurosi. Ci siamo sentiti accolti e seguiti con grande attenzione. Ci mancheranno tantissimo!

Vilket fantastiskt hotell, underbar plats och bästa personalen! Från incheckning tills de vinkar av oss vid avresa har vi blivit så bortskämda av de vänligaste människor och bästa service man kan tänka sig och alla måltider vad tillagade med kärlek och så gott. Fantastiska turer arrangerades enkelt och ja, oförglömlig upplevelse! Tack 🙏

We absolutely loved our stay in Alimas in beautiful Felidhoo. Everything was just perfect and Alimas is in the best location on the island but what we loved the most was the fantastic friendly staff who were always smiling and so kind. We'll definitely be back. 10/10 😁

Nothing, we loved everything 😁

Das Hotel ist sehr sauber, das Personal sehr freundlich. Wenn man mal ein Problem hat dann kümmert sich sofort jemand. Man bekommt täglich frisches Mineralwasser aufs Zimmer.

.

Ci siamo trovati benissimo durante il nostro soggiorno, non ci è stato fatto mancare assolutamente niente! Apprezzatissima la gentilezza ed efficienza dello staff e la disponibilità nel venirci incontro per fare gran parte delle escursioni che ci interessavano e che vengono proposte quotidianamente. Abbiamo optato per la mezza pensione con colazione e cena (buffet). Ottima l’organizzazione di ogni escursione e della speed boat per andare e tornare dall’aeroporto. La bikini beach è a due passi e ben attrezzata con presenza di lettini. Ad Alimas si crea un bellissimo clima di serenità condiviso da tutti gli ospiti. Grazie ❤️

Отличный пляжный отель. Персонал замечательный. Очень понравился номер 204. Вид на море, 2 балкона. Есть все необходимое. 🔥 Уборка ежедневно. Ужины и завтраки шведский стол. Все вкусно. В этом номере большая удобная кровать.

Растворимый кофе на завтрак Запах в ванной комнате, но это не критично

Отель стоит рядом с бикини бич, это идеально. Персонал отличный. В номере есть все необходимое : туалетные принадлежности, пляжные полотенца, утюг, чайник, мини холодильник, тв , ежедневно приносят воду и убираются. Отличные ужины шведский стол (1 раз делали очень вкусно свежую рыбу на барбекю ). Всегда есть рыба,,курица, фрукты, овощные салаты. Все вкусно.

В ванной комнате есть запах, но это беда многих отелей на Мальдивах. Растворимый кофе на завтрак 😥

Personale sorridente Sempre disponibile Organizza escursioni con ottimo rapporto qualità / prezzo

Camere un po’ spartane e buie Al secondo piano sono vista cimitero interno Bagno essenziale Colazione basica e ripetitiva Bikini beach vicina ma non particolarmente confortevole un po’ piccola.

La vicinanza alla Bikini Beach, la camera molto spaziosa vista mare

Forse migliorerei il buffet

숙소의 모든 직원들이 친절했습니다. 음식도 맛있고 대접받는 느낌을 머무르는 동안 느끼게 해주었습니다. 비키니 해변도 숙소에서 아주 가까워요. 조용하고 좋은 섬이고 호텔이었습니다.

Os funcionários e toda a equipa de Rapé (proprietário) são fantásticos. Com a sua simpatia, fizeram tudo quanto lhes era possível para nos propiciar uma estadia agradável e com todo o conforto. Felidhoo é uma ilha pequena, ideal para quem quer descansar e ficar longe da agitação das ilhas mais turísticas.

Nada

Tutto, a partire dalla gentilezza di Rafe. Il personale fa di tutto per farti sentire benvenuto. La struttura è una guest house molto confortevole, dotata di tutto ciò che può servire. Il cibo è molto buono, e la pulizia è discreta. Due parole sull'isola: non è per chi cerca divertimento, ma per chi cerca il relax più completo. E' stata ideale per noi, per immergerci nella cultura locale, vedere le vere Maldive e goderci il mare. Bikini Beach è a due passi, e spostandosi un po' più in là via mare (coperti, per rispettare la cultura locale!) c'è una fantastica barriera corallina da esplorare.

Forse varierei un po' di più sul cibo anche se, ripeto, ci è piaciuto molto. La pulizia della stanza è buona, ma un po' più di attenzione alle superfici dei mobili può rendere il tutto perfetto.

All the staff are very polite and helpful. Good breakfast. In front of the port.

N/A

Замечательный отель. Близко а пляжу, все очень милые, устраивают тусовки с барабанами и танцами. Надо танцевать, а не сидеть - физическая нагрузка и драйв вам обеспечены. Будьте острожны с солнцем- мы сгорели в первый же день!

Взяли один раз ужин за 20 долларов с человека - и не очень понравился. Но другие говорят, что бывало довольно вкусно. Но мы потом ели в заведении рядом местную вкусную еду по хорошей цене, перепробовали все).

La camera è grande e pulita, la struttura è proprio davanti al porto e la più vicina alla bikini beach. La colazione è buona, ci sono sia dolci che salati, qualche piatto tipico e qualcosa invece di più internazionale. Lo staff gentilissimo, così come tutti gli abitanti di Felidhoo. Il Wi-Fi funziona bene. Propongono anche delle escursioni giornaliere ma non ne abbiamo usufruito. Per la cifra spesa e il livello medio delle guest house, più che soddisfatti.

Unico suggerimento: per la doccia sarebbe più comodo avere una tenda o cabina così da non bagnare il bagno

Great location, friendly helpful staff, clean spacious rooms

That there was not a separate smoking area in the dining space so other guests could smoke anywhere which I didn’t love at mealtimes

Buon rapporto qualità / prezzo per il soggiorno. Possibilità di organizzare belle escursioni.

Pochi servizi e intrattenimento. Vicino a bikini-beach ma su un’isola di pescatori con poca vita; pochissimi negozi, bar e ristoranti. Vicino alla moschea per cui notti interrotte dalle preghiere alle 5 del mattino. Poca trasparenza sui costi extra e costo del buffet eccessivo (20$ a persona).

Tæt på stranden og et fint husrev. Venligt personale der er behjælpelig med alt.

Posizione perfetta per la bikini beach con la barriera esattamente accessibile e grandi quantità di pesci ! Servizio di pulizia più volte al giorno. Forniscono telo mare , pinne e maschere. E hanno un sup a noleggio. Ragazzi dello staff eccezionali e servizio velocissimo durante i pasti. Cibo vario a buffet e abbondante. Per la notte di Capodanno super cena con extra di solo 30$.

Durante il ns soggiorno (9gg) poca varietà di escursioni.. volevo fare il reef ma non c è stata l escursione. Estrema vicinanza alla moschea considerata isola piccola ma per noi era il ns fascino. Durante il nostro soggiorno c erano un sacco di turisti che purtroppo non rispettavano la cultura locale facendo perdere molto del fascino delle isole locali maldiviane (abbigliamento non consono alla cultura araba)

Tutto veramente perfetto. Staff gentilissimo, possibilità di organizzare escursioni in banca, hotel a due passi dalla spiaggia bikini. Cucina buonissima! 🇬🇧Everything was absolutely perfect. The staff was extremely kind, there was the possibility to organize excursions. The hotel is just a short walk from Bikini Beach. The food was excellent!

Nappe, lo chef, Shelat e Fahar mi hanno trattato come un principe. Stanza pulitissima, controllata 2 volte al giorno, ottimo cibo soprattutto pesce. La struttura si trova praticamente davanti al molo. Scendi dalla barca e sei nella guesthouse. Wifi copre tutta la struttura. Ottime escursioni con una barca di proprietà loro. A pochi passi la bikini beach, mai affollata. Mare caldo di colore turchese.

Se cerchi baldoria hai sbagliato isola. È molto tranquilla. Alle 5 di mattina il muezzin chiama alla preghiera. Munirsi in aeroporto di sim telefonica locale con almeno 100 Gb. Felidhoo si raggiunge in 90 minuti di speedboat. Se il mare è agitato è un tormento.

Sehr gut geeichnet für Leute, die nicht im Urlauber-resort wohnen möchten, sondern auch Interesse daran haben, das wahre Malediven kennen lernen möchten. Das bedeutet dann wohl, passende Kleidung und kein Alcohol. Gibt ein schönen Bikinibeach für uns Gäste.

I really enjoyed my stay at Alimas holiday retreat which is right by the seaside. The island itself is very calm and has a non-touristy vibe for those who want to have a quiet holiday away from the honeymoon and teenage crowds. The corals and tropical sea life around the island is exceptional, and you can see nursing sharks by the pier every night and also Rays. I also want to thank the staff for the excursions Hassan, Waiters Fahar and shelat, Room boys Shafraz and Mehedi, and Chef Zoysa who took exceptional care of the guests.

Everything was good including WiFi.

The staff and the island itself were amazing. The people are warm and so hospitable. The bikini beach is nearby, and the view over the marina is great. The local food is deliciou. Alimas is a great place to spend one week of your life if you want to relax or celebrate an important personal occasion.

Sauberes Hotel, mit freundlichem, hilfsbereiten Personal und gutem Essen. Der Bikini Beach ist auch gleich in der Nähe. In der Nähe gibt es auch sehr gute Riffe zum Schnorcheln mit vielen Korallen und Fischen (wen man Glück hat auch mit Riffhaien und Schildkröten).

Amazing staff

Posto meraviglioso a due passi dalla bikini beach. Mare fantastico! Personale dell'hotel eccellente e disponibile in tutto, cucina squisita! La più bella vacanza della nostra vita, ci siamo trovati bene come non mai! Grazie della vostra infinita professionalità.

Niente

Un vero hotel con uno staff cordiale e professionale. Ancora complimenti allo chef!

manca l'ascensore per i piani alti

Struttura accogliente, posizione ottima, ottima cucina, il gestore Ibrahim una persona gentilissima e sempre attento alle nostre esigenze, soprattutto alle esigenze di pesca di mio marito Marco, personale della GH fantastico ( Shelat adorabile). Ci siamo sentiti a casa. Consiglio vivamente l’Alimas. Un grande grazie a tutti

Tutto!! Dalla posizione vicino alla spiaggia alle camere e al ristorante, tutto perfetto! Siamo stati coccolati per tutta la vacanza dallo staff e un particolare ringraziamento va a Shelat, che non ci ha fatto mancare nulla. Le zuppe dell chef erano spettacolari.

Funcionários muito simpáticos, sobretudo o que nos servia a mesa 5* mesmo 😍, o quarto era grande e confortável em geral, o espaço das refeições eram muito agradáveis. O gerente era muito atencioso para nos ajudar. Recomendo vivamente está acomodação.

Struttura recentissima e gestita ottimamente da Ibrahim. Si vede che ha esperienza alle spalle e sa come rendere un soggiorno eccezionale. Lo staff è gentilissimo, colazioni e pasti con diverse scelte, abbiamo mangiato sempre bene e vario. Abbiamo anche usufruito della lavanderia e in più ha gestito il nostro trasfert per thinadhoo all’ora che desideravamo. La bikini beach si raggiunge in un minuto, ci sono lettini e ombra per tutti. Il reef è vicino ma può essere che la corrente ti trasporti più avanti dove non è più bb, motivo per cui è meglio indossare un pantaloncino così si può uscire senza problemi anche dalle altre spiagge. Felidhoo è un’isola local vissuta e ancora non troppo turistica. Lo consiglio !

L'accoglienza e la familiarità di Rafee, la sua disponibilità, il piacere di averci nella sua struttura. Il servizio sempre attento e premuroso. Le cene ottime ed anche l'escursione al relitto è stata speciale (abbiamo visto anche i delfini)

Non si può che dare 10 a questa struttura. C’è un’attenzione al cliente davvero straordinaria: lo staff è gentile, professionale e sempre disponibile. Le camere sono ampie, pulite e curate nei minimi dettagli: spazio per appendere la biancheria bagnata, cassaforte, pantofole, accappatoio, ogni genere di articolo per l’igiene personale, caffè e acqua sempre a disposizione, una mega smart TV e un balcone stupendo. E la colazione? Semplicemente fantastica: abbondante, varia e davvero deliziosa, con prodotti freschi e di qualità. Il rapporto qualità/prezzo è eccezionale. Il gestore è una persona amabile, gentile e genuinamente ospitale, che fa davvero la differenza. Dopo aver provato varie strutture alle Maldive, posso dire con certezza che questa è stata la migliore guest house in assoluto. Super consigliata – top!

Era tutto perfetto. Grazie ancora per l’ospitalita’

Great customer service and communication prior to visit. Lovely big room with 2 balconies. Good advice regarding where to go. Excellent help to meet our requirements eg taxi etc. A lovely welcome.

Nothing re accommodation. once work is complete the beach will be bigger.

What an absolute paradise! A perfect stay for romantic vacations. Stunning views, clean beaches, snorkelling, perfect food! Truly magical experience ☺️

Amazing personal and manager! Everything was great: food, room, service, snorkeling. Don't even know what to highlight I booked hotel self, not via travel agency. But they meet us at the airport and helped with trasfer Thanks to Manager Ibrahim and all the staff for one of the best vacations.

The staff are honestly a 11/10 star team. Everyone is very friendly and accommodating. I can’t say enough about how great the staff was.

Perfect food, professional and friendly staff.

We booked a room with breakfast, lunch and dinner. All the meals were delicious. The rooms were all the time cleaned and has full equipment. The communication with Raphael was easy, he helped us always with sweetheart. Our trips was setted up by him, and everything were perfekt.

Everything was perfekt :)

Clean and welcoming.

Back rooms oversee a cemetery.

Great customer care and enjoyed the stay... Friendly and welcoming environment 😌 😊

We had amazing 3 days at alimas! The clean, tidy hotel with their friendly employees definitely exeed our expectations. The food was also great! We would definitely come again!

Next to the Hotel is a mosque and the prayers start at 4:40am which woke us up every day. This is something you should probably know.

Staff was very good and friendly.

The breakfast was ok-ish, the dinner was much better, the cook was great, very friendly and kind. The bikini beach is nearby, kinda small, but great water and fish in it, they were currently working to make it bigger. The manager was friendly, he agreed to shorten our stay from 12 nights to 6 nights with 50% payback.

The mosque was loud in the early morning, woke me up every time. The island is not as clean as we expected.

This hotel will stay in our memories for years to come. We travel extensively and have seen many hotels along the way, but this one is truly memorable. - Communication with Raphael was easy and timely. All necessary information was provided quickly and in detail. The meeting with Raphael was extraordinary: he told us the story of the island, its attractions, and much more, including interesting details. - The organization was convenient, and most importantly, the prices were affordable, especially compared to the prices on other islands and the cost of airport transfers. - The rooms were a haven of modern decor, exuding a sense of freshness, tidiness, and order. The pleasant scent that always greeted us added to the feeling of comfort. Our beds, adorned with flowers, were a testament to the hotel's attention to detail and commitment. - Everything was well thought out down to the smallest details: from beach towels, always ready and clean, to daily excursions, such as snorkeling with sharks and turtles and observing stunning underwater landscapes with colorful fish, and night and morning fishing. Everything was at hand, from swimming equipment to boats and service staff. - And, of course, the excellent chef! The food was always varied and delightful! And if you're lucky enough to catch fish, the next day, you can enjoy your catch or order something exotic – like sashimi from your own catch. The superb sauces and exquisite preparation added a unique taste to the already superb selection of dishes. We left this hotel with a nostalgic feeling—as if we were leaving our home, where we always wanted to return and where we were always welcomed with joy! A huge thank you for your hospitality!

Everything was perfect!

La pulizia e la cordialità

Niente

Staff were amazing. Lovely rooms . Very clean and large

Quite limited choice of hot buffet breakfast

Hotel and staff are trying hard to come closer to the resort feeling for guests. GM Ibrahim takes time on arrival to converse with guests, explain the basics and answers any questions. Staff is VERY well trained and they seem genuinely kind and happy to see you - something very unique to Maldives. Room we had was very spacious with a TV with Netflix, bed was large and comfy and bathroom solid. Location is good, at the port (which is not busy, so no noise) and 5 mins walking from Bikini beach. We had a full board option and while it was nice to not take care of the food, the selection gets a bit boring after a few days. Breakfast is good, with a decent selection and chef makes eggs on request. Lunch and dinner also had 1x fish, 1x meat and 1x pasta option. The island is small and boring. It's nice to be able to relax and do nothing, but beware that there are no other restaurants /bars, maybe at max 2 places besides the hotel to get a drink (non alcohol).

Breakfast served only until 9 am (it was the same at other hotel we stayed at, so not sure if it's a regional (because of the prayer?) standard, but it feels early when you are thinking resort type of holidays). Prayer call is quite loud and starts at 4am and lasts several minutes. While it's not something the hotel has a saying in, it is important to note that you can hear the imam singing all nights and it happens 5+ times between 4am and 10pm. I was a bit surprised by the lack of activities organised by hotel. It seemed that they catered to larger groups staying and the activities were offered based on what those groups wanted. Price of activities is also more expensive vs. Maafushi. Experience on Maafushi was that there was always many activities happening every day, while at Felidhoo it was more of a one day - one activity at most. Bikini beach is quite small, there are some (not many) mosquitoes and we saw sea snakes. The island is planning to expand it and protect it with large boulders, but in March the beach where you can sunbathe in bikini was at most 200m long and feels quite squeezed in. It is normal with Felidhoo being the local island, but still - the island has a lot of unused space, so it would be nice to expand the beach to a bit larger zone. Neighbouring island Thinadhoo seems to have this sorted out better.

After a horrible experience in Maafushi (high rise buildings, constant construction noise, overcrowded) we really enjoyed our stay in calm & welcoming Felidhoo. Great place for relaxing, amazing snorkeling experience (loved that Alimas provides beach towels and the snorkeling equipment without charges). What the reviews say is true: the staff is truly sweet. So are the locals. The hotel is extremely neat, they have a good eye for details.Would love to come back!

The mosque is fairly loud, early in the morning and throughout the day. I missed more variety at breakfast also, during 5 days it was fairly the same.

Guys, have been here several times already. Best index is that nowadays Alimas is always almost fully booked - people are coming and enjoying a lot. Comparing to other local islands nearby - Felidhoo is still locally charming. Not overcrowded 🙏 You can enjoy the food, all activities and hospitality of the whole team. New bikini beach is on the way to be built.

Everything was wonderful! Very nice staff who are caring and welcoming every day. The food is delicious, there is a variety every day. Free rental of snorkeling kit and fins. It's a couple of minutes walk to the beach. Large coral reef. Be sure to take coral slippers with you. There is little infrastructure on the island; there are small shops. Cleaning every day. I really liked the hotel!

Outstanding Hospitality We spent one week on the wonderful island of Felidhoo, and as an experienced travelers we can confidently say that we managed to book the best stay in Felidhoo. We have received a very warm welcome,when we arrived to the island with the speedy boat.The manager of the hotel Rafeeu was right there waiting for us. At the hotel, we were greeted by the wonderful staff with wet face towels and mocktails, which was very nice after the 26 hours journey. Then we received all the important information about the hotel and the island also. The hotel is only few minutes walk from the bikini beach and is located directly at the pier. We had a very big room with 2 balconies with see views on the third Floor. The room has everything what you need for comfort (super comfy bed, bathrobes, slippers, toiletries,minibar, 2 liter of bottled water/day,tea,coffee and a big smart TV). The room was cleaned every day. The food is very tasty and the service in Alimas is outstanding. The hotel itself organise various types of trip on a very good price. Felidhoo has everything what you need for a perfect relaxing holiday. The people on the island are very kind and friendly. Huge thank you for Rafeeu, Fahar and the whole team to being so kind and helpful to make our first experience in the Maldives incredible. We recommend this place with all our heart.

The hotel was lovely, overlooking the beautiful harbour and just insane sea view. The water is beyond belief. Snorkelling is a main event here, and rightly so. The room was just amazing, and the food here was very tasty, a different theme every night. The staff, were so helpful and go the extra mile to make your stay comfortable. I cannot fault anything, or anyone. Well done to Rafael, Fahar and team 👏🏼👏🏼

This is a personal preference. There is nothing much to do here, you have to remember it’s a deeply religious country, so no bars, or discos. But to be honest, that’s a good thing.

We can only recommend accommodation in Alimas. The staff deserves a big thank you! Cleaning, service in the dining room, organization of trips - maximum satisfaction. The chef prepared amazing meals. Hotel manager Rafeeu runs it very well. He helped us with transfers from the airport and also to another island. The guesthouse has four floors without an elevator, we lived on the third, daily training on the stairs was great. The room had a wonderful view of the ocean. We completed swimming with Nurse sharks and it was an incredible experience. The local bikini beach has a beautiful coral reef with lots of fish. Felidhoo Island is well worth a visit. Thanks to Rafeeu!

O

Great team. It's a medium-price hotel, but the staff doing the job exceptionally well. Thanks a lot for your hospitality and responsibility. The island is a 1.5-hour (60$) boat trip from the airport, there are several hotels and locals' houses. The main activity is to do snorkeling because the reef near the island is amazing. There are no cafes on the island, so it's better to choose at least breakfast and dinner or more. It can be boring to stay here for more than a week if you like active holidays.

More options for breakfast and dinner, maybe a 2-week changing menu

We were delighted to have an affordable way to enjoy the Maldives without sacrificing comfort. This hotel really punches above its weight in terms of value for money. The friendly and competent staff function flawlessly as a team, giving every guest the feeling of being cared for. Snorkeling in the area, despite Tsunami damage and recent coral bleaching events, remains very good, with lots of different kinds of fish. The pier in front of the hotel where you can see nurse sharks and rays at night is a very special experience. We appreciated receiving a free upgrade to a larger room. The island has a very well stocked pharmacy with helpful staff.

Some of the guests stood and walked on the reefs— not a good thing when a fragile ecosystem is struggling to survive. Possibly the hotel could offer a little orientation to help preserve this precious resource. The sink and shower in our room are in need of a little maintenance

The hotel itself was very clean, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful and had amazing service throughout my stay. The beds were comfortable and rooms were a great size.

Nothing! Only thing I wish was better was the weather for the first few days but that isn’t in anyone’s hands

A thousand stars for Alimas Staff, very kind and professional! It was our first time in Maldives, we felt in love with this small island! People are friendly, the bikini beach and the reef are very nice. We had the chance to do several excursions organized by the guest house and we enjoyed a lot, everything was perfect! We had the chance to swim with the nurse sharks and turtles, we saw also the sting rays and the mooray. We want to special thanks Rafeeu, Hassan and Fahar, you made our stay very special and we want to say it from the deep of our hearts. We hope to come back soon! Alice and Ejaz

Not Applicable.

Literally everything was perfect 1. Amazing host, manager Rafeeu and his whole team. I was greeted with warm hospitality and exceptional customer service from the moment I arrived. Rafeeu and his smiling fantastic staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. 2. Exceptionally delicious food, cooked and nicely arranged on the plate by Dilantha, the accomplished Sri Lankan chef cook. The very tasty New Year Eve gala dinner was outstanding, worth of a 5* hotel. 3. Well organised transfers from airport to Felidhoo and back. 4. Very clean, well equipped, spacious rooms. 5. Large variety of excursions and activities at very decent price (swimming with nurse sharks, shipwreck snorkeling, two reef snorkeling, sunbathing on a sand bank, island hopping, picknick on a deserted island, among others) . 6. Beautiful, interesting island with friendly, lovely locals. 7. Nice Bikini beach and home reef for snorkeling. Special thanks to Rafeeu for a wonderful vacation, to Hassan for guiding us underwater and for his amazing underwater videos, to the boat captains and crew for sailing us safely to the snorkeling spots or islands, to chef cook, Dilantha, for feeding us so well, to Fahar and Pradeep (who took care of me at every meal), to the 2 young cleaning boys for carrying the luggage and taking care of the room. I will back again soon and definitely recommend Alimas.

Having to say goodbye to this paradise place

We had a wonderful week in Alimas... everything was perfect! Perfect place... delicious food... super staff! We will stay in Alimas again without any doubt.. Thank you Rafeeu..Thank you Fahar and all the staff for making this holiday unique!!

Nothing

Alimas retreat is centrally located. Upon arrival only a few steps to the entrance. We were greeted and escorted to our rooms cordially. The room was very large and had a nice balcony. The food was really good. My husband took part in some fishing trips and he was very successful. What we liked the most is the staff and a very welcoming atmosphere in the guest house.

Nothing I can mention.

- very helpful family-like staff responding to every request you have - delicious breakfasts and dinners, with a chef making sure you loved everything on your plate; dinners are different each evening, and you have a choice of dishes; fresh seafood! - rooms are cleaned every day, with water and coffee provided, as well as clean towels - I absolutely loved the excursions! I took two of them, every time being assisted by mr. Hasan in open water, i didn't have a thing to worry about! I also got nice video shootings of me snorkeling 🤿 - managers are always here to help you find your boat to the island in the airport; also you are met on the shore on your arrival to the spot - free beach towels every day and snorkeling equipment available - beautiful spacious room; I especially loved the balcony for you to have late coffee in an open air - I was also given a free little trip around the island on my first day by mr. Hasan! It's very comfortable as soon as I didn't know a thing about the location

- none

The employees were outstanding; they were always grinning, helpful, and kind. With particular gratitude to Mr. Ibrahim, the manager.

There was a sound emanating from the nearby construction.

Absolutely perfect, we were well taken care of. Whatever we needed they arranged for us ( excursions, diving). We needed a waterproof patch ( my wife had an accident while diving) - they arranged for the purchase and delivery from Male. We would love to return. Hotel and staff meet European standard not 4* but 5*.

Nothing, except perhaps the termination of the stay.

We had a wonderful 5 days at Alimas and we loved every minute. Perfect place to stay in the Maldives - Delicious food - Fantastic staff - Super fun activities Nice big room with AC Swimming with the sharks was fantastic, shipwreck snorkeling was amazing, great night fishing.

Everything was great!

Great staff, fantastic food, overall very nice stay. Rafeeu - the manager is an extremely nice and helpful person. Each of meals was served like in high class restaurant and was of a great taste. I highly recommend the place.

Beach was nice but not great, however snorkeling at house reef was quite nice. We did not particularly like the open shower in the bathroom - however we knew how the bathroom looks like before arrival - so no negative surprise.

Really good value for money, the staff are very helpful and they organise the best excursions. Big thanks to Rafeeu and Fahar for making our stay wonderful. Will highly recommend. The food menu is very good and the chef also takes time to take care of any requirements, simply amazing.

A hair-raising speedboat trip from Male, to be greeted by Rafeau on the quayside, and a 20-yard walk to the residence. Food great - simple breakfast, but just what we wanted, and evening meals demonstrating the variety of local seafood. There are 'Western' alternatives but for us the fish was always first choice, apart from a memorable curry feast provded by Dilantha, the accomplished Sri Lankan chef. Other Sri Lankan staff including Fahar and Pradeep (the only names we could remember, but all staff were excellent) looked after us so well.

No fault of the Maldives, but I could have done with a cold beer!
