The hotel is the best on the island, just sand foot on the bikini beach. The staff is really friendly and welcoming. Rooms really clean, great airconditioning. The food was also really nice, especially the grilled fish and tuna steak. Looking forward to be back!

We loved everything about our stay here. Beautiful views of the harbor and sunset. Clean and comfortable room. The staff were friendly, helpful and willing to please. A budget hotel that is worth the money.
It is easy to walk around the Island.
In ecvening we made 2 /3 circles around Gulhi Island and afterwards we
tested all restaurants and the best was LAVISTA Cafe & bistro.
They have a tasty food.
There we had the best Tuna Steak in Gulhi.

A very welcoming island and with such friendly locals.
A very welcoming island and with such friendly locals. It is a small island which is not that far from Male city or the airport by speedboat. There are some small restaurants and cafes that visitors can have snacks, drinks, tea and coffee. There are also many shops that sell everything visitors might need. Souvenir shops are also there and there are many items that can be bought at good prices. Cultural events are also there depending on the season and the occasions .

Gulhi island is perfect for tourists on budget.
Gulhi island is perfect for tourists on budget. We didn’t limit ourselves, we went on a couple of boat trips (which cost about 35-70$ per person) and bought whatever we needed (every meal was around 22$-36$), transfers cost around 25-35$ on a speed boat and 2$ on a public transport. All the restaurants, hotels and some shops accept dollars. The only disadvantage of the island, in my opinion, is that especially during low tide, the water in the ocean is knee-deep. Regardless of that the bikini beach is very clean and the corals are beautiful. Also I would suggest bringing fins with you because sometimes the current was really strong and renting them costs 5$.

Nice & cozy small island.
Nice & cozy small island. You can find local & western food over here & they are serving nice coffee over here. Friendly locals is making you feel welcome to the Island. Walking at the beach and swimming in the sea is the 2 common activities over there. Lying on the beach chair & watching sun set is really enjoyable.
We had an amazing experience in Gulhi island especially regarding local culture, as it is a perfect occasion to explore authentic Maldivian life, people are extremely friendly and kind.
Sandy Heaven has the kindest and most helpful staff so we easily befriended them (Saif - who exceeded our hospitality expectations, Shivoo and the manager Thaathi). The cleaning service is daily, the accomodation offers you various trip options which were profesionally organized. The staff also helped us with speedboat transfers (airport and other islands).
THE STAFF IN HOTEL WAS GOOD. BUT THE SPEED FERRY COSTS 25$ PER HEAD ONE WAY FROM MALE TO GULHI. SO I PAID $100 FOR THE TRANSPORT. WE STAYED HERE AS PER THE RESERVATION AND NOW I GOT MAIL FROM BOOKING.COM AS NO SHOW INFORMED BY THE HOTEL. THIS IS JUST SCAM FROM THE HOTEL SIDE. VERY DISAPPOINTED. AFTER PAYING 25$ EACH FOR MY DAD AND MYSELF, WE HAD VERY UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE AT THE FERRY, WE WANTED TO REDUCE THE MUSIC VOLUME WHICH THEY MEET OUR EXPECTATION. WILL DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMEND FOR SUCH ACT.
The hotel is run by local guys. They go above and beyond to make sure you're enjoying your stay, and they provide a delicious Maldivian breakfast. Gulhi is a pretty small island. There was a lot of construction work going on during my stay. The hotel accommodation is quite simple but offers a short walking distance to the 'bikini beach' where water sports are available for a price. The WIFI works well near the lobby area for those thinking about doing some work in paradise. Thanks for the stay!
The best hotel and restaurant on Gulhi Island.
The personnel is super, very kind, friendly and helpful.
The bikini beach is very close
They help you to arrange everything included the speed boat to and from the airport.
They also organize excursion and have an internal SPA.
Only thing that is missing is a swimming pool, but what you need a swimming pool for when you have maldives water few stap far?
Excellent, great ratio quality price.
The location is just perfect! Could not be better. The entrance to i believe the only beach on the island is literally through this hotel. Very neat! The staff are very assisting, though we had some language barrier. Just because of tourists locals and staff must not learn their foreign language, hence the humanity language is the only and right language and we were very happy to stay here for 5 days before we moved to our next island.
Great location a stone's throw away from the bikini beach. Lovely 2nd floor patio with sunrise views. Friendly staff at both hotel and restaurant down the road. Self-serve filtered water in sustainable glassware available 24/7 in lobby. Beach chairs and umbrellas provided, and pickup to and from the port was extremely helpful.
The hotel was amazing. We would like to thank to Sohel who was really helpful, disposable, protective and sympathetic. It was the first time someone was so kind to us, so we will choose this hotel again and will definitely recommend it to our friends!
Thank you Sohel!!!
I really liked the variety of food in this hotel. very responsive and kind staff. we were with children, there is a very good attitude towards children and there is a kids club. variety of pastimes. beauty of nature. everything was perfect!
Everything was fine, bikini beach is in 5 minutes from hotel, very good host and personnel, cheerful and helpful all the time. Excursions are available as well. We went to see sharks and for snorkeling. Highly recommended!
Location wasnt like on the photos hotel is not in the beachfront also that was a lie too, hotel is between the local buildings, a terrible place and also through the maldive islands this place has so high humidity weather
Breakfasts were great, also great service of staffs. Hotel is very friendly and all people are helpful. Great beach close to Hotel. Room was clean every day. Transfers and trips were managed perfectly.
