Crown Beach Villas -Private Beach

Location was good.

Staff / service terrible . Accommodation extremely dated

Me gustó la ubicación. La habitación y cama era cómoda. Es verdad que el exterior no tiene nada que ver con las fotos. En un principio yo pagué una villa deluxe con playa privada, me dieron una habitación con una hormigonera delante donde estaban trabajando, de playa privada nada en esa zona. Además, tenia que tomar el desayuno en otra zona.Antes de firmar quise ver la habitación y cuando la vi, dije que no se parecía a las fotos. Me dijeron que esa noche me quedaba ahí pero que al otro día me cambiaban a otra, y así fue. El hotel está bien, el problema está en que tu te haces unas expectativas con las fotos que luego no son. La habitación estaba bien, grande, cómoda, pero las zonas comunes estaban un poco dejadas, y suciedad que no quitaban aunque lo vieran. Si volviera a ir no pagaría más por la villa, ya que es lo mismo que alojarte en una habitación con balcón y además me costó 100 eur más. El desayuno del primer día fue buffet y los demás días nos lo prepararon. Las excursiones que nos ofrecieron estuvieron bien, las cogimos con ellos porque decían que nos dejaban buen precio,pero una de ellas la vimos mucho más barata en otros sitios de la isla. Los hoteles que hay alrededor de la isla tienen mejor presencia y son más baratos que este. Cosas buenas, que puedes ver un buen atardecer. El personal al final se portó bien, ya que el último día al tener la opción del checkout más tarde, nos dejo una habitación libre para estar, ya que la nuestra estaba ocupada ese día. Desde mi punto de vista y como crítica constructiva, pienso que tienen una joya de isla, pero no lo cuidan suficiente, si se cae una botella ahí podía estar el día entero, había botellas que quitábamos nosotros de otras personas. Es una isla preciosa y auténtica y volvería a la misma, pero no a ese hotel, me sabe mal por el personal porque se porto bien. Pero sinceramente veo una mala organización y no pasaría nada por renovar las fotos y poner las fotos reales.

La dejadez de limpieza en el entorno del hotel. Las fotos que se publican no son la realidad del hotel.

The hotel was very close to the beach and the staff were amazing

The toilets smelled bad

Staff was very helpful courteous polite

It was a good experience overall

The staff were friendly and helpful, Limited English Place was clean and tidy Anything we asked for we were supplied Bedding lovely and clean , rooms cleaned when ever you requested , not just on set days

No beach , pictures are years out of date, But nice beach other side of island Rooms nice and clean , but little touches needed to upgrade Shower clean but taps and shower head rusty, need renewing Just little things needed to upgrade to make it better , New toaster needed as only cook 1 side , and 2 out of 4 slots working , but was OK once you knew how to use it

Everything was perfect !

Breakfast was good and tasty

1. Staff mentioned that breakfast will be packed and sent to us on the last day of departure but we didnt receive anything. 2. when ask to make the room, the soap was not replenished and the towels were not changed either. 3. when ask for details of activities didnt respond too.

Very helpfull personel, nice part od the beach, although there was obviously a storm recently, so the beachfront is damaged. The on-site store is well stocked and their resturant is good compared to others on the Island. Also their beach is very private, and you can also find shade under the palmtrees through the whole day.

Very friendly staff, helpfull. Location was very good

There is not privat beach more than 10 years, so they need upgrade photos. Room without sea view was very small window and view on the wall, so dark room.

Nothing

we paid for sea view room, there was no sea view, hotel is very dated, not clean, food is so limited, is beyond anyone expectations

The location

The person who is managing the property is very irresponsible

Location was perfect. Breakfast was good with amazing setting Staff were friendly and helpful

We paid for a room with front view patio but was given a room at the back without even a window. We had no tv remote and requested 3 times but never received one Shower was cold no hot water Our transfer never collected us to return us to the ferry despite confirming

The villa room was nice and very comfortable, with a great sea view. The staff were friendly, nice, and quick to respond to my requests. The breakfast is okay and reasonable price and has a great sea view, and the on-site restaurant was perfect for romantic dinner. The hotel's location is superb and walking distance as Dhiffushi is a very tiny island. My only minor complaint was the broke kettle and the air conditioning loudness which is normal. Overall, a fantastic stay, and l'd highly recommend this villa for anyone especially solo travelers visiting Dhiffushi. To the staffs thank you very much for your truly excellent hospitality and service.

The staff was very helpful, doing their best, working at different stations and locations to satisfy the guest nees

Our stay was a total disappointment at all levels: 1- We have booked 2 seaview rooms since 3 months, once arrived after 7 hours flight, and 1 hour boat, the manager says that they did mistake and there is only one seaview room the other one will have the "city" view. Believe it or not, he says "I can offer you an extra bed for free and a dinner, take it or cancel the booking and find another hotel" !!!!! Totally irresponsible !!! Never seen this in more than 20 years in booking .. 2 - This is NOT a 4 starts hotel impossible 3 - They have two locations PAY attention: one well maintained for the villa (rooms on ground floor), the other one at around 500 meters with no dirty place, plastic tables and chairs and 4 beach chairs for all guests (check the pictures) 4 - All the other hotels nearby were on a perfect condition, with clean beachs and plenty of beach chairs ..

It was peaceful and nice

You could make it a bit more fun or lively, like play some soft music in the background and put more lights outside when it's dark so people can enjoy sitting out late.

Comfortable room, kind team, cozy yard and beautiful nature

The hotel is located on a small island in the northern part. It overlooks the beach where no one swims. Yet it wasn't any problem at all. The food was substantial, yet a bit unvaried. The staff were very polite and nice. Thank you!

All the staff were very helpful. The private beach in front of the hotel is amazing. We could organise various activities at the hotel. Anil was excellent 👌. The breakfast chef too, cooked omelettes to order.

All

Eat portions

Very good location

Overall facilities need more attention

All

We had a beach villa which was located directly on the beach. It had a great view with the palm trees and the ocean. They made fresh omelette for breakfast. The whole staff was super kind, they even gave a gift to our son upon arrival and when we left as well. They also help us getting to the island and getting back to the airport. Outdoor breakfast area is amazing!!!

Breakfast was quite boring for 10 days, Sortiment was poor and they offered the same type of food every second day. They served only instant coffee that you can make for yourself with hot water. For this amount of money I would accept better service for breakfast. Bathroom is outdated and a bit stinky.

The beach of this hotel is stunning, the terace right next to the ocean, the bed is very big and comfortable. The staff is friendly, helpfull, and especially thank to the manager, he was very nice

I’m really sorry i have to say this, but the property needs urgent improvements. The pictures from booking were taken when the hotel was new i suppose, but meanwhile the bathroom especially is awful(see pictures below). The breakfast it’s extremly poor, and the restaurant menu aswell. A real coffe machine would be quite necessary to have, most of us don’t drink instant coffe. Also, during our stay for 7 nights there, they did not clean the room once, or change the bed sheets or towels. This hotel has huge potential, but the owner should invest a little bit in it.

Not a 4 star hotel, maybe 2

Cleaning,

Il soggiorno al Crown Beach Hotel è stata una piacevole scoperta per una visita autentica delle Maldive. Hotel direttamente su una spiaggia veramente privata dell’isola protetta dai venti e da turisti (si accede solo tramite reception). Tutti gli altri hotel dell’isola hanno spiagge comuni senza protezioni da ombre o vento. Al Crown beach siamo stati all’ombra di bellissime palme su lettini dell’hotel messi a disposizione di tutti e fatto tutti i pasti guardando il bellissimo mare delle Maldive. Consigliamo mezza pensione per poter provare altri locali anche se la scelta di cibo in generale sull’isola è molto limitata per problemi logistici (arriva realmente solo Tonno, Pollo e pochi altri ingredienti). La cucina è OK (lo Chef sa cucinare, anche la pasta, ma la scelta è comunque limitata ai pochi ingredienti che arrivano sull’isola). Il servizio è rapido (grazie Shamil, sempre con il sorriso!). Colazione molto basic. Abbiamo soggiornato nella stanza vista mare (ce ne sono solo due in tutto l’hotel) ed era tutto perfetto: no insetti, umidità o altro. Condizionatore potentissimo!!! La pulizia della stanza va richiesta con un po’ di insistenza, ma una volta richiesta poi vanno a pulirla. Pacchetto escursioni proposto con Anil veramente mozzafiato. Necessarie da fare sono: Coral Reef, Tartarughe, Squali e visita ad Asdhoo (che sono le più belle escursioni da Dhiffushi). Flessibilità e cordialità al centro, grazie per questo a Rashid (gestore dell’hotel).

Very friendly staff. Catered to our needs with smiles all the time. The manager took special care of us - seemed like family. Would recommend to all.

Superb value for money, helpful and smiling staff, very helpful manager :) Nice food, location is really the best! Excursions are great, the lead of the tours is really experienced and caring ☺️

Terrible The staff and manager were super nice and helpful except for one staff called Anil he was super rude and talks in a provocative way. We were 3 and asked him to provide us with the snorkelling gears (it’s written in the description that it’s free) and guess what he refused saying that there are many guests !! Thankfully the manager interfered and requested him to bring them to us and he did in few minutes (maybe he was just lazy to go and bring them to us 🤷🏽‍♀️) The over all experience was terrible that we felt obliged to check-out before the departure from the hotel date of course there was no reimbursement since it was out decision. We are definitely going back to the Maldives and to Dhiffushi island but never back to Crown Beach hôtel/villa (both are the same establishment)

El alojamiento nos ha gustado mucho en general, sabiendo lo complicado que es disponer de todo en una isla tan pequeña. Lo mejor del hotel era el personal, muy agradable, en especial Shamine (camarero) y el cocinero. También muy simpático Ivan, el encargado. Mención especial para Anil, q se ha portado genial con nosotros y nos ha explicado la historia de Maldivas. También destacar la seguridad de todo el recinto y su ubicación, es perfecta para ver puestas de sol y para darse un buen bañito.

I thank all the staff, the hotel, everything is beautiful, the sea, the hotel, and the people are good. God willing, I will return to it next year

location.. very close to the beach, in the touristic part of the Island. Breakfast and dinner with tables on the sand. Late check out for free and small souvenirs provided at the check out. the receptionist Ivan was very kind and helped us during the vacation

Initially the room was with a building under construction view. We claimed and obtained a better room. The cleaning service only after specific requests. Immediately when we arrived, the owner stressed us with the excursions. No hot water in the shower only warm. Poor breakfast (mainly omelette).

It was very close from the white sand see!

The room was very simple, but you can forget it immediately, because any other - very friendly and helpfully staff, beautiful sand, sea and everything - was perfect!

Hotel muy caro para lo que ofrece. Restaurante pesimo!!

positiv: direkter Strandzugang war toll freundliches Personal-hervorzuheben Shamim kostenlose Standtücher negativ: Frühstück sehr sparsam und übersichtlich; knappe Essensauswahl bei Halbpension; lange Wartezeiten und kalte Speisen; kaltes Duschwasser; keine tägliche Zimmerreinigung; Zimmer renovierungsbedürftig und mäßiger Ausstattung; katastrophales Internet und unbrauchbares TV Programm

close to the beach

nothing worth to mention

All staff are very friendly & helpful, food is good & a lot of vararities.

Lying in bed watching palm trees, sand and many hues of turquoise ocean through your terrace door - does this sound like Heaven to you? You've arrived. Crown Beach Villas, a 2min stroll away from Crown Beach Hotel with it's own sandy white beach are the number One location on Dhiffushi island, where locals live among tourists in perfect harmony. The Villas might be pretty tiny rooms and there certainly are no tennis courts or water bungalows, the locals themselves call their lodgings guesthouses. And that's exactly how you feel, like a guest who's visiting his/her friends Rasheed the manager who has always a smile on his face, Vidad who runs this place, Anil, guide to places where you can see dolphins, huge stingrays, sharks and turtles. His knowledge of everything is endless, even compared to worldwide academic standards. All of this island gives you a tranquility no resort island of the Maldives could ever offer you.

The future outlook of this island might be bleak if construction of high risers has started in full. Today it's only one unfinished house with five or six floors.... Visit this gem in the Indian Ocean as long as it's still sparkling.

Vidad and his team are simply excellent hosts. We stayed there for 6 nights in the beach villa & anything we needed was given to us straight away. The room itself was very comfortable with soft orthopedic mattress for very comfortable sleeps , on the last night in maldives Vidad himself came to another restaurant to give us both a parting gift. Even the guys in this other restaurant said "he's the owner" but is the nicest owner you can meet . We loved the activities the sandbank and turtle point excursion is a must , we were looked after on these trips by Anil, hes an absolute gentleman of a young man . Rashid was the duty manager and was always there to help as was Ivan who spoke very good English, the young waiter also looked after us very well at meal times . we chose the half board option and there was a great variety of foods to choose from , the breakfast with freshly cooked ommeletes was a very good breakfast . I will definitely go back one day ..

There was very little that we did not like so ignore the sad face :) At first we were surprised that there was no alcohol available on the island but we embraced this & decided to use it as an opportunity to have a much neededed "retreat in paradise" having daily massages, swimming with the fish/turtles & relaxing in general ! Even when we discovered that we could go to a bar on a floating boat we decided not to go :)

A fantastic location and hosts. Good value for money, everything was as expected, and all in all great experience.

Everything went easy and smooth. Someone got me from the airport, and Evan( management) guided us to the hotel in the island then to my beach villa.

The room size was a little small.

Great hospitality and friendliness

Byliśmy tu5 dni. Miła i pomocna obsługa. Pyszne jedzonko i prywatna plaża bikini przy hotelu. Wszystko dobrze zorganizowane. Na koniec czekala nas miła niespodzianka w postaci pamiątek. Dziękujemy

atención esmerada del personal, exquisitos platos de su cocina, la mejor playa de la isla, excelentes precios

Hotel molto carino, essenziale ma completo di tutto. Posizione perfetta direttamente sulla spiaggia, personale gentilissimo e disponibile per tutto. Posto ideale per le vacanze.

スタッフのホスピタリティが高い。空港までの送迎をきちんと手配してくれた。

La location è ottima e lo staff molto gentile e disponibile. L’unica cosa che non ho apprezzato è stato il costo e la modalità del trasferimento. La modalità perché la speed boat era molto piccola e il pilota un po’ incosciente e invece per il prezzo, sulla vostra prenotazione, c’era scritto che il trasferimento sarebbe stato gratis (su richiesta)...? Quindi non è chiaro cosa si intendesse. Invece sulla prenotazione dell’hotel è indicato che sarebbe costato $ 25 a persona per trasferimento. In realtà abbiamo pagato quasi 50$ a persona, sia all’andata che al ritorno e, per il ritorno, abbiamo anche dovuto discutere per avere lo stesso prezzo dell’andata, altrimenti ci avrebbero fatto pagare 100$ a persona! Questa questione sarebbe da definire tra voi e l’hotel, perché c’è discordanza tra quello che indicate Voi e quello che in realtà applica l’hotel. Un’altra discordanza riguarda un’escursione gratis per persona durante il soggiorno, ma che In realtà non esiste. Quindi, nonostante sia un bel posto e non ha deluso le mie aspettative, queste discordanze non mi permettono di dare il massimo della valutazione.

Awesome experience. Very friendly staff. Best excursions out there for snorkeling and swimming with turtles, sharks ... for a very reasonably price. Will come again and again. Thank you!

Muy buena vista al mar! Habitación sencilla, con buena ropa de cama de algodón. Bano aceptable. Todo en muy buenas condiciones de limpieza. Muy buen wi fi. Excelente la atención de todo el staff, sobre todo de Rashhed, Imra y otros que no recuerdo su nombre.

Excelente vista al mar. Hotel sencillo pero muy limpio. Buena habitación, pero con muebles muy básicos. Buena calidad de ropa de cama. Bano aceptable. Muy buen wi-fi.TODO el staff muy amable, sobre todo Rasheed, Imra, Masud, Alam.

Staff were excellent, friendly and helpful. Food was average. Rooms would benefit from a refresh. Location is good

Super Lage, gutes Preisleistungsverhältnis. Z.Z. wahrscheinlich beste Lage auf der Insel.

Location was good as there is a beach right outside the hotel. However, service wasn’t great, we were overbooked and transferred to another hotel for the first 2 nights of our holiday, and then there was a lot of confusion as to whether we would be coming back to the hotel after the transfer. This made our stay rather frustrating as we couldn’t settle in until we knew what was going on. Rooms could be better, especially the bathroom as our toilet was blocked. No shower screen so bathroom would get covered in water and no hot water. Menu could have more variety aslots of food items were unavailable. Prices seemed to change once ordered. Staff were not forthcoming and rather uncommunicative.

Küche so lala. Normalerweise mindestens 1/3 der viel zu umfangreichen Karte nicht zu haben. Einige Gerichte auf der Karte mit Thunfisch aus der Dose!!! Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sauberkeit und Atmosphäre gut, Klimaanlage und Kühlschrank funktionieren einwandfrei. Vielen Dank an Vidad und seine Leute.

Humble staff...food was delicious may be more dishes can be added to the menu

No Alcohol on this Island. If you want alcohol go to island resort. Very Nice hotel, Staff is very Helpful and will do excellent service for you. Very quite island its good with families.Food was excellent they make us nice Non Veg dishes for us.. we had 8.30 Flights so we have to hire private boat at 5.30PM. Hotel staff came to drop us at Boat where we see Manager came to say Good buy. Very nice experience and very good down time we had.

Muy buena situacion frente a una buena playa con snorkel aceptable. Se desayuna y come en la agradable playa debajo de unos arboles. Muebles de habitacion muy sencillos y sin mesitas de cama La comida tambien sencilla. Wifi en la habitacion.

Con la mejor situación de Diffushi, todas las comidas en la playa debajo de los árboles, muebles y comida muy básica .Personal muy amable.

A nice & cozy hotel facing ocean . They have friendly staffs accomadating to your requests. Food served are delicious n well done to chef , Buffet breakfast more or less sumhow e same .. overall nice place to stay

Crown beach har en egen strand men det är väldigt långgrunt så man får gå långt om man vill simma. Inga bra rev för snorkling heller. De ordnar däremot utflykter till rev och bankar. Kassaskåpet satt inte fast i väggen så det var inte mycket till säkerhet. Ganska lyhört och man väcks från minareten varje morgon. Tråkig omgivning då det byggs överallt. Personalen väldigt trevlig och hjälpsam. God frukost.

El hotel está en la playa y el personal te ayuda siempre en todo. Estoy deseando volver.

Everything was fine, friendly staff. Just bathroom smells.

Mr. Vidad has created a true gem here! Loved the hotel’s private beach, and the service was out of this world! Although breakfast was a bit basic and the mattress was on the firm side, the snorkeling they arranged for me was unforgettable (got lucky enough to see a turtle AND a reef shark!), and the staff was very accommodating when I wanted to extend my stay. Staying here, I got to see a side of the real Maldives that is hidden away from the resorts. I would not hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend this facility.

It was amazing experience! This hotel was the perfect affordable hotel in Maldives. It is situated on the beach with white sand and palm trees. I highly recommended, the staff were excellent, the food was specially good, the facilities are clean and powerful WiFi. This is a charming, safe and nice place to be. Surely the best of the hotels at Dhiffushi

Very quiet place nice and clean. Staff are very nice. Cozy and comfortable. Amazing diving

到着前にメールでやり取りして空港への送迎を依頼していましたが、空港で待機していてくれず、空港到着後にこちらから再度連絡し、少し待つことになりました。到着は夜便で、その日は移動だけの予定で支障はなかったのですが、昼便で到着する方は余裕を持ったプランニングが良いと思います。 オプションツアーは安いのですが、他の島々に比べると満足感は低かったです。 ただ、スタッフは親切でフレンドリーでした。施設も金額の割には清潔で快適でしたが、シャワーは温かい塩水です。

Wonderful boutique hotel right on the beach. Very friendly staff and owners who are always helpful and smiling. Beautiful ocean view at the hotel restaurant and great food (delicious maldivian breakfast). Amazing sunsets. Great excursions organized by Anil especially snorkeling and romantic dinner. The island is small and beautiful, local people are very nice. In my opinion Dhiffushi in several years will be the top local island destination on Maldives. We spent 9 wonderful days and for the first time we hope to come back again...

Io e la mia famiglia siamo stati benissimo. Il personale dell’hotel ci ha fatti sentire come a casa, gentilissimi, sorridenti, sempre pronti ad andare incontro alle esigenze degli ospiti. Posto perfetto per immergersi nel clima maldiviano e godersi tramonti meravigliosi. Da non perdere le escursioni con Oneill! Thank you very much for everything!!!!

디푸시의 아름다운 바다와 리조트보다는 상대적으로 저렴한 비용으로 몰디브를 즐기기 적합하며 호텔 바로 앞 비치 그리고 비치 파라솔과 비치의자 만족한 여행이었음

Superb! Resonable! Excellent place to enjoy Maldives

We stayed 20days in crown beach. Staff are really helpful. And since it was our honeymoon trip we had a wedding photoshoot. And the guy who works in the hotel as a guest relation manager (anil) helped us with everything. Nice and quite funny guy. He showed us around the island and thought us about history of island and maldives. The island it self is quite new to local tourism. But the people on the island is doing pretty good job to keep the island clean. From the hotel they gave room service everyday for 20 days and its cleaned pretty well. Hotel Resturant food was awesome. Breakfast need to be improved by adding more options other than that I could give 10 out of 10. Excursions and fun activities from the hotel was amazing. We went for snorkeling and sandbank dolphin trip and sunset fishing. They tried there best to make everything perfect for us. Thanks to crown beach hotel staff and specially Anil. :)

Albergo splendido. Bikini beach a 5 metri dalla camera.

Very friendly staff, beach is very beautiful, food is delicious.

The hotel is right on the beach where you can enjoy the meals with the amazing ocean view.The bed is very big and comfortable,the staff is nice and helpful.You have towels,beach towels,shower gel and shampoo in the room.Dhiffushi is a small island and you can visit all in 20 minutes.The meals are good and tasty.Every morning with the breakfast you get a complimentary bottle of water and fresh fruits ,papaya or watermelon.The maldivian breakfast is amazing.Anything you need you can ask the staff and they are doing everything in their power to have a great holiday.We booked ocean view room but first night we got a different room on the other side with no balcony but next day we were immediately moved to a nice room with balcony and best view.Thank you to all Crown Beach Staff gor taking care of us and provide us an amazing holiday.

Il personale si è dato da fare ma struttura insufficiente nel complesso e nei pasti in mezza pensione

One of only two hotels on the beach in Dhiffushi, with a fab view of the sunset. The hotel is very nearly excellent, but needs to pay more attention to cleaning, maintenance and tidying, both in the public areas, especially outside, and the rooms. It would be good if ashtrays were on every table outside as so many people smoked and it would stop cigarette ends being thrown down on the sand.. Food in hotel is so so and overpriced for what they offer. The manager, Vadid, is great and does his utmost to please. The rest of the staff need to follow his example. All in all we had a great stay (room 7 has great view of beach) and hope that with a few improvements this will be one if the best places on the island.

+ Malediven = Wetter + Wasser top - Sehr viel Müll (Plastikflaschen) auf der Insel, Strände sauber aber 10m daneben Häufen sich die Müllberge - Insel ist reine Baustelle, sehr viele Hotels befinden sich noch im Rohbau - Baulärm ab morgens um 7 bis 18 Uhr Hotel: + engagiertes Team, leider sehr langsam und schwierige Verständigung + Zimmer sind sehr sauber + Aktivitäten (z.B. Schnorcheln) (Preis/Leistung ok) - Einfallloses, liebloses Essen -> nur Tunfisch (Dose) kein frischer Fisch und Hähnchen - fast jeden Tag das selbe Frühstück (2 Toastscheiben, Butter, Marmelade und Spiegelei) + Instantkaffee - Bezahlung und Abrechnung sehr schwierig und intransparent (Halbpension nicht verrechnet, etc.) - Hausstrand nicht badetauglich, da Algen/Tang und scharfe Korallensteine -

Freitags Anreise sehr ungünstig wegen Moslemsonntag. Im Hotel alles reibungslos. Sehr nettes und aufmerksames Peersonal

Soweit alles in Ordnung. Die Transferbedingungen lassen jedoch zu wünschen übrig! Transferkosten relativ hoch. Es gibt keinen direkten Transfer vom Airport!!

従業員はフレンドリーで親切です。オプショナルツアーも十分でした。建物も新しく快適です。スノーケリングもサンゴ礁と熱帯魚が十分楽しめる内容でした。イルカも海亀も見れました。 但しリゾートアイランドとは異なりアルコールは提供されていませんので酒を飲みたいならオプショナルツアーでリゾートアイランドまで行く必要がありますが酒を飲まない人にとってはいいホテルです。

It was a pleasant trip and breakfast view was great

From the photos this hotel and island looked amazing. We were not disappointed. We had a fantastic time and an authentic experience of the local culture and island. The local people are also very warm and friendly. When we arrived we were greeted by hotel staff who organised our trip on the speed boat. The staff are helpful, friendly, warm and accommodating. They assisted us and answered any of our questions. We went to relax...and relax we did. The room is very clean and if you ask them to change the sheets or clean the room, they are happy to do this to make your stay better. The bed was very comfortable.The room has a TV but no cable (yet). If you want to wind down at the end of the day take a usb stick with some movies etc to watch. We streamed movies and the internet worked well most of the time. The water (at times) had a distinct smell and although it is desalinated, it is still salty. Our room did not have hot water. This did not ruin our experience. The food was lovely and the local dishes are a real treat. There is a limited selection but it is enough for a week long stay. This is a small hotel with limited staff so ordering well before time is recommended when the hotel is full. If you have children, I would buy snacks from the mainland to take. There is a local company hiring water recreational equipment and offers local diving and trips. The water is spectacular. You can see sharks, sting rays, reef fish, manta rays, dolphins and all other types of marine life

Здравствуйте. Вы благоразумно упредили наше намерение обратиться с претензией:)))) Спасибо за компенсацию. Но не знаю, сможем-ли мы теперь доверять секретным ценам, да и вообще вашему сайту, т.к. получили хорошую порцию негатива. Надеюсь вам будет полезна эта информация о несоответствии рекламы действительности. Да, нам действительно предоставили номер Deluxe с кроватью кинг-сайз. И это ВСЁ, что соответствовало описанию номера на сайте и в подтверждении бронирования. Причем в русскоязычной версии подтверждения бронирования был указан "вид на пляж", в англоязычной (увидели позже) - "боковой вид на море". Очень странные неточности перевода, больше похожие на ловушку. Боковым видом на море это тоже назвать трудно. В номере не было ни сейфа, ни TV, ни холодильника, ни чайника или кофеварки. Фото ресторана на сайте вообще не из этого отеля. За три недели ни разу не поменяли белье, убирались в номере только если попросишь, не скажешь - даже мусор не вынесут. Отдыхали три недели (к сожалению полностью оплатили на сайте - наша ошибка). Заселяя нас в этот номер менеджер обещал поменять хотя бы на неделю на другой, с видом на пляж, но в результате так и не поменял. Ночью до 2-3 часов под окнами ездили мотоциклы.
