We have met our host in a restaurant on arrival. We were welcomed with a drink and host was very patient and answered all our questions. Accommodation had comfortable beds in spacious rooms in continental style. Kettle and fridge were available in all rooms. Air con was working fine. Guesthouse is in quiet location, away from the busy village. Guesthouse is located very close to the beach. Beach towels and sun beds were provided. We have stayed on Maalhos due to location as Maalhos is close to Hanifaru Bay. Martin, our host, is great in terms of communication. He is available 24/7 and constantly is checking on their guests to ensure that everything is well. He definitely made our stay enjoyable and he felt like a part of our family 😃 Thanks a lot for all your help Martin and all hard work you put into making people’s dreams come true! We will never forget swimming with manta rays!

Thank you very much to Nazy and his Team for everything. They helped us with everything to the fullest, and the 12 nights we spent there will be an unforgettable experience. The food is excellent, the rooms are comfortable, and the beach is very close and impeccably maintained.
The kindness and humanity of the staff are captivating, and the island residents are also wonderful. The programs offered by the accommodation are varied; we were lucky enough to see manta rays and whale sharks, and they even organized custom programs upon request.
They did everything to ensure we had a great time, and when we needed help due to illness, they immediately took care of everything. Thank you very much!

Had a lovely stay at this hotel, where the staff seemed to have mastered the art of smiling. Seriously, they’re always beaming at you, which is a pretty great way to start the day! They even sorted out my flight tickets from Malé, so I didn’t have to lift a finger, making my trip a breeze.
But the highlight? Watching dolphins casually swim by right in front of the hotel! Talk about a room with a view.

I stayed in Manta Sky Inn for 4 nights, and I found it to be very good. It is perfect for divers, the rooms are very spacious, it's a new construction, spotless clean, good wifi, and the staff is really helpful if you need anything. The accom owner Mr Sadiq received me at the airport in Male, and helped me with everything including all the transportation, money exchange; he even showed me around the Male so I don't miss anything. Its been a wonderful stay and diving, in the special island of Dharavandhoo during the Manta season!

The scenery and activities is pretty similar across the various guesthouses on the island, we saw turtles and rays when snorkeling near the beach. I will focus more on what makes Chak’z stand out instead.
I really love the rooms. They are new, big and very spacious. There is enough space to lay out all our swimming and photography equipment. We got a room on the ground floor so there is direct access to the beach. I love to sit on the sofa near the glass window to look at the sea at times.
The service staffs at Chak’z are also very kind, they really try their best to attend to all our requests.
During our manta and snorkeling trips, Husham will always look out for us and make sure we are safe and well. We didn’t eat often at the in-house restaurant, but no matter what time we go, the guys will immediately greet us and get to work. The food always tasted great!
Their breakfast is very simple, not a very fancy buffet with many dishes. But it was good for us because we love Maldivian tuna roshi. Chak’z Roshi is one of the softest that I have ever eaten. If you like varieties, there are many eateries around the island within 10 min’s walk. You can also get many things from the local supermarket.
If we ever visit Dharavandhoo again, we will definitely stay at Chak’z again.

We had a great stay at Kihaa Holiday Home! It is on a local island and the food was made my women living on the island and was just delicious! The house reef is very close and nice! The owner was very kind and helpful and introduced us to the local people and customs. He also organized local transportation and the contact for seeing mantas for us- which was one of our highlights!

Loved the hospitality that Lisham, Biraj, and the other staff members showed us all through at LVIS Blancura. They were very courteous and took great care of us when we went turtle snorkeling and sunset fishing. It's thanks to Lisham that we had our first ever sighting of a Manta Ray!

We had a wonderful days on the island thanks to Ahmed and his team. Ahmed met us at the airport, shared information about the island and showed us where everything was. The room was large, everything was clean. The breakfasts were excellent. Ahmed organised several tours for us at very nice prices. Everything was incredible. We swam with mantas, sharks, rays and even went night snorkelling with a whale shark. We recommend staying at this guest house, you will be very satisfied. We will definitely come back!
