The hotel was built just a few months ago (ready for guests Nov 2023) so overall it looks good. It is clean and the hotel crew is kind and ready to help. Breakfast was good. Rooftop dinner is awesome. AC works good. You can book nice excursions via hotel.

The noise level was a little bit disturbing as the hotel is placed near the electric station of the island. Breakfast can be much more varied. Menu for lunch and dinner is expensive. TV has no channel that can be watched (can be used only if you have a Netflix account or youtube). You can't pay in local currency (MVR), even though you are on a local island. What bothered me most about this hotel was the price payed for the transport from Male to Dhigurah (65 $ per way). I found out on the boat that for the same trip other people were paying only 400 MVR (around 25 $). We payed directly at the hotel. There is also a gov tax (TGST) of 16% + 10% service charge that you need to take into consideration when paying for every extra service.

I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional week at your magnificent hotel in the Maldives. The experience of a lifetime was heightened by the extraordinary whale shark expedition you organized. The opportunity to embark on a journey to encounter these majestic creatures was awe-inspiring and left an indelible mark on my memories. Your commitment to providing unique and memorable experiences truly sets your establishment apart. Thank you once again for the warm hospitality and for creating moments that will be cherished forever.

The service was excellent, and the staff were very helpful and friendly.There were lots of activities, including manta and whaleshark snorkelling. The island itself is a bit secluded, but the scenery is extraordinary. Mr Imran was always accessible if we ever needed anything. He always went the extra mile to ensure we were happy and felt taken care of. He is a great asset to the hotel!

If you're not a beach or marine enthusiast, there isn't that much else to do on the island.

I am very glad that I choosed Whaleshark beach hotel. Because service outdone all my waiting. Staff were very kindly. The Hotel very clean and beautiful. Room were cleaned every day. There were all for comfortable rest. Thank you for your warm welcome.!

Everything was very good 👍

The staff were so kind. Organised our transfers, excursions and were generally so helpful. Perfect location and a beautiful island. Close to the beach. Clean, spacious rooms and everything was new. Rooftop with sea views. Lovely breakfast.

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional service they provided during my stay. I whana thank you to Lola for her warmth, for professionalism, and attention to detail truly made my vacation unforgettable. From the beautiful room arrangements to the delicious meals and impeccable hospitality, every aspect of my experience exceeded my expectations. Thank you for creating such wonderful memories for me. I look forward to returning in the future and experiencing your outstanding service once again. Warm regards, Mirela Stoica.

Hotel is newly open and is phenomenal. Staff is lovely and caring. Our manager organised a speedboat transfer from the airport and back. He also arranged many more activities such as whale shark, manta rays...

We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was nicely furnished and very comfortable, providing everything we needed for a relaxing visit. The staff was extremely kind and helpful, always ensuring that our needs were met with a smile. A special mention goes to the manager, who was incredibly professional, friendly, and always willing to assist, making our experience even better. The food at the hotel was delicious, and we enjoyed every meal. The hotel’s location was excellent. We also appreciated the various excursion options available, which added an extra layer of enjoyment to our stay. The air conditioning worked perfectly, the Wi-Fi was very fast, and the take away breakfast provided on our departure day was a thoughtful gesture that we greatly appreciated. Overall, we felt that the hotel offered great value for the price.

However, there were a few areas where improvement would enhance the guest experience. The fridge in room didn’t cool properly, which was a bit inconvenient. Activating the television required contacting the reception, which could be simplified. We were only provided with two small bottles of water daily; larger bottles would be more practical. There were no instructions in multiple languages in the room, which would have been helpful. Lastly, the light switches were only located by the bed, which wasn’t the most convenient setup. Additionally, the breakfast menu repeated itself with only minor variations, and it would have been nice to see more diversity in the options.

The property was nice well maintained on attractive location but the whole difference is made by Ahmed with his friendly and highly professional approach to any guests needs or wishes. Thank you for making our stay unforgettable Peter

Great breakfast, very clean, helpful staff (especially the manager - she is awesome!), AC working like a charm, beautiful European style hotel.

First of all - on Dhigurah each hotel has agreement with one specific dive center! This hotel is connected with Island Divers (they were great!). This gave the impression that we had already made a decision about something we were previously unaware of. However, if you want to change, it is possible. And the hotel does not have the typical Maldivian vibe, however it would be hard to find it anywhere on Dhigurah nowadays...
