Maldives - 7 days - Hulhumale + Dhangethi

It was my first solo trip and I loved the hospitality from the staff. Each and everyone were friendly and caring. The breakfast and dinner provided was very good, had selected Indian food itself. The staff and the people associated with Turquoise Residence, be it the transfers or tours each and everyone have guided me in a very nice way. They were welcoming and their sweet little gestures made me very happy. The room which I stayed in was cute and had a strong wifi connection. Ambience, Hospitality and Service was great!!! Loved it and thankyou for this memorial experience.

I stayed in this hotel with my mother and it was her first international trip. At the time of check-in the hotel offered a warm welcome with their hospitality and welcome drink. Yogen at the front desk was so courteous with his service that in the entire stay I never heard "no" from him. He made my mom so comfortable and made sure that he gives the best room as per her age. Moreover, the other staff guess named kochi was as well courteous. Daily in the morning when we used to come from breakfast the staff used to made our morning beautiful by greeting and offering the best breakfast service and the tea offered at the hotel was the best and will definitely miss. Yogen was honest enough to help us decide which all adventure trip we can plan for. Afrah the tour organizer used to meet us daily in the evening and indeed offer the best and reasonable price for the adventure trips that we planned for and was worth. The best memorable trip ever. Jubair the guide who was guide for the trips that we planned was so helpful and courteous. He was always so helpful that he managed my mom so well that she became so comfortable with the sea and the level of water. Last but not the least, the people in Maldives and the staff at the hotel did speak well in Hindi. Oh cannot forget the best part, yogen is the multilingual guy with whom one can interact in Hindi, English, Tamil, Bengali and in his mother tongue(Darjeeling).

The hotel is in a beautyfull island near the airoport next to the beach.You get picked up from the airport to the hotel and welcomed by the hotel staff. I recommend to spend at least two days there.Walk other beach,have a nice food ,see the beautyfull sunrise,walk to the park,to the ferry and meet the pleasant local people.Hotel provides very affordable boat cruse that include dolfin watching,sand bank,snorkeling,visiting wather villas,visiting local island.This is amazing experience that shouldn't miss.The staff at the hotel is pleasant and helpful.I highly recommend the hotel and the beautyfull island

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour grâce à la parfaite organisation du tour opérateur IU Maldives Le choix des hôtels était parfait Les activités proposées de très grandes qualités Un grand merci aussi pour l'accueil à l'aéroport et le suivi de l'équipe tout au long du séjour Je reviendrai

The tour provided the excursions as per description, although sometimes the order was changed. Communication was good and every time we had a question or an issue, it was easy to get the answer/clarification. What we would clarify is that this felt more like a package deal, rather than a tour. It might have been because end of May/beginning of June is low season and it ended up being quite a private tour (apart from some excursions), however we did not have a guide 24/7 or ‘cultural experiences’ as the description seems to indicate. This was fine by us and the hotel staff were very helpful anyways, but just thought it should be clarified. A piece of advice would be to book the whale shark or manta ray experience ASAP. We experienced a bit of confusion with the price and the fact that sometimes the boats don’t go unless there are at least 5 customers. The first hotel in Hulhumalè is basic and with limited WiFi, but does the trick for 2 nights. While Ari Grand in Dhangheti was much more enjoyable. Probably the best hotel on the little Dhangheti island, with pool, air-con, mini fridge and great staff! Our trip was made extremely special by the snorkelling adventure and swimming with a whale shark. So a special thanks goes to Amin and his #arimoments boat! He is a great marine guide and takes good care of the less experienced swimmers. Thanks to Mr Ahmed, manager of Ari Grand, for his kindness and helpfulness. Great customer service.
