The staff was exceptionally polite and went out of their way to help and make me feel comfortable from the get go. Diwaker, the senior manager was superb at handling all my requests, from transfers to coordination, always with a smile! I would definitely recommend his lovely assistance. The chef Ajit, made me amazing breakfast before my dives at 6 am and Mr. Kamal was always the first to welcome me every morning and dropped me to my boat, Kamal was extremely polite, always smiling and eager to help. The staff is the best thing about Ari Grand.

The overall experience was great for our family. The hotel is in middle of the island right next to the jetty. The room was spaious and facilities were good enough. The hotel also provided bonuses as snorkeling equipment, etc.

We really enjoy our stay here as the room is spacious and clean. They do room service on a daily basis. What is the most is the manager Areef is there always to take care of us and to make sure we enjoy the most of our holiday. He took us on the excursions to see the Manta Ray, whale sharks and turtles 🐢. An amazing experience!!!

My favorite guest house in the Maldives so far. Really great people. The island so far had been the one with the friendliest locals. The guesthouse is very clean and the hosts do everything to ensure you are happy and comfortable. Any problems are resolved immediately.
There’s a beautiful little garden where you have breakfast. The breakfast are varied and tea and coffee is available all day.
I’m very glad I chose to stay here and would happily do so again.
Shamin is very responsive to questions regarding booking transfer excursions etc.
the location is ideal. Just a few mins to in the bikini beach in one direction and to the restaurants in the other.

This place is amazing. We spent a week there and felt like royalty. we had a great relaxing time. The villa was beautiful, enjoyed the pool and the jacuzzi after our fun filled days. The food was delicious. The chefs (Chef Nihal and Kumarisi) were amazing especially to my daughter who has food allergies. The minute she comes to the restaurant, they come asking her for what food she was in the mood for and they would make her meals. The servers were so nice, so sweet, after couple days, Ashfaq knew how I like my coffee. Everyone is so polite no exception from the managers to the staff, this place wouldn’t be the way it is without them. I enjoyed water aerobics with Nishan, wish it was an hour long :) every day, there was a different activity, we didn’t get bored at all. We also partook in several water sport activities, including jet skiing, sunset dolphin watching, and the sunset boat ride. The water sports employees were very kind as well. I would highly recommend.
A once-in-a-lifetime experience awaits you at Lily Beach Resort & Spa, where luxury and bliss entwine together under the vibrant colors of the setting sun.

Beautiful room with a nice view, wonderful food, very kind staff, good drinks... it was really a dream! We did diving with a school which is directly on the Lilly Beach island & I highly recommend them!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Banyan Villa on Dhangethi Island in the Maldives, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. Our trip started off a bit rocky as we arrived late to Male and missed the boat transfer to the island. However, we called Hussain the manager and he immediately sent us a representative who not only booked us a stay in Male, but also arranged the transfer for the next day and even took care of all expenses. This level of exceptional customer service set the tone for the rest of our trip.
Dhangethi Island is a hidden gem in the Maldives. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a beautiful view of the crystal clear waters surrounding the island. The villa itself was immaculately kept and well-appointed, with all of the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The decor was lovely, with a blend of traditional Maldivian elements and modern comforts, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The location is at walking distance from everything.
What truly sets Banyan Villa apart is the staff. They were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ensuring that we had everything we needed. They were more than happy to assist with arranging activities such as snorkeling, fishing, and island-hopping. The cuisine was delicious and the service was impeccable.
In conclusion, I would highly recommend Banyan Villa to anyone looking for a peaceful and rejuvenating escape in the Maldives. The level of customer service and attention to detail we received was truly exceptional.

On average, it costs $80 per night to book a 3-star hotel in Dhangethi for tonight. You'll pay around $821 if you choose to stay in a 4-star hotel tonight, while a 5-star hotel in Dhangethi will cost around $1,566, on average (based on Booking.com prices).
Great for diving but not so great for snorkeling. The reef is very far out and at times the current was very strong. Prices for trips to see the whale sharks were quite expensive at 75 USD. And there were tons of other boats at the same spots - very zoo-like.
Bikini beach, the only beach you can swim at in only your bathing suit is fairly shallow and windy. The better beach beside it requires you to be clothed.
However, the local people are super nice and helpful.

Firstly to clarify the resort is located in Theluveligaa, not Dhangethi. Theluveligaa is a small island, I was a solo traveller (mid 30s female) the water villa is amazing and the outside space is spacious with a lot of seating options. I hardly spent time on the beach. The resort itself is very quiet even when full. There are no motorised sports however you can kayak, snorkel and dive (you can get your licence there) and do other trips: Whale Sharks, Mantas, Turtles. The food options are good, drinks are expensive a juice will set you back $18 staff are friendly, especially the dive instructors (Julia & Ebu) and receptionist (Maria) I would definitely recommend this resort and felt safe on my own.

Quiet, lovely colourful houses, quite small but surrounded by other islands. Head for the jetty especially at sunset. Two recommended cafes/ restaurants: Compass with its verandah dining tables where you can watch rays and baby nurse sharks being fed at dusk - the maitre d’ - Sampath was charming and obliging and the food was amazing. Try also the Blue Moon Cafe with the equally charming Anup as maitre d’. Not much coral as the island is surrounded by sea grass

A beautiful location. with some good snorkeling, which is provided by "Mother Nature" not the resort.
In all other respects the resort is poor to terrible.
We paid £10,500 for 10 days A.I.P; party of 4 in two poorly maintained Jacuzzi water villas. (Not a Jacuzzi- brand name - a Sovereign Spa Hot tub.)
Some services offered simply don't work, and management are fully aware of this but continue to advertise.
Guests are treated with disdain and rudeness by client relations team/management who are not visible.
Included trips - Sunset Punch / Dhangethi are an excuse to try and take some more cash from their guests.
They offer only excuses...."we are on an island so it is difficult to.....(insert complaint here)"
"All Inclusive MInus" is a better description of their package.
Got much better service, food, accommodation and customer care in Mauritius/Zanzibar/Thailand/Florida/Dubai/Turkey/Madeira/Cyprus/ Marakech etc etc.

The great place to just relax and do nothing.
The great place to just relax and do nothing. Its a small island so don't expect very busy night life. But the beach is great, local snorkeling and diving is great. Local people are great. So a must see location.
Staying at the Atoll Residence was a delightful experience. The staff's friendliness made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The simplicity and tastiness of the food added to the overall comfort of my stay. The hotel's location, mere steps away from the beach, was absolutely stunning. Despite the lack of hot water in the shower, it didn't detract from my enjoyment, as the weather was so warm outside. The cleanliness and coziness of the room made it a perfect retreat after a day of exploring.
The perfect place if you are looking for a thoughtful, honest and caring host! Tholal made sure we saw everything we wanted to see while in Dhangethi (whalesharks, mantas, eagle rays, reef sharks, corals, and the list goes on). Plus he recorded all of our underwater adventures and thanks to him we now have digital forever memories. Breakfast is really good and it is served right on the beach. Free snorkeling and laundry! Also, you can use the kitchen. Spacious rooms. Do not hesitate to book!!
The whole staff is super welcoming and friendly, always ready to help. They organize amazing excursions, we got to see dolphins, a whale shark, nurse sharks and a boat wreck. Also the accommodation is perfectly clean and the food is really good. The island is small therefore very quiet but you can also find some souvenir shops. The hotel also has a bikini beach almost in front of it. And the manager is a wonderful person, always positive and available for anything!
This hotel is amazing not just it's facilities but it's surroundings. The water is so clear you can see many type of fiches and sea animals as sharks, mantas, needle fish and so on. The people is lovely, and I want to say that thanks to the hospitality of Shamak from relationship staff, Adam from House keeping and Paulo from buffet everything was lovely.
The rooms are gorgeous! And all has amazing views. Food is unbelievable. Definitely my best hotel
A Pick-up service from the harbour to the hotel and a welcoming drink was waiting for me there when i arrived in Dhangethi! Very relaxed and friendly people, they will help you with everything. The garden inside ist just amazing with lots of different colourful plants and a calm atmosphere. My room was clean, spacious, A/C with a huge bathroom and hot water. Walls are very thin. I had a great time there! I can recommend to stay in Manta Dhangheti.
Everything was great.
Large and well-groomed area of the hotel, it's very cool that there were places only for adults, and even if there are a lot of vacationers with children, there is a place where you can eat and relax in silence.
The reef for the Maldives is excellent, there are many inhabitants, sharks, moray eels, turtles.
Very nice staff and good food, there were a lot of greens and fruits.
Very clean.
The manager Osny and his team were very attentive to ensuring that our stay was pleasant. Banyan Villa is very quiet with its garden and food was very good. We enjoyed our holidays in the authentic village Dhangethi and our dives with South Ari dive were great. We’ve seen whale shark, eagle rays, manta ray, dolphins,etc. thanks to Shaaley, Dan and the while team
All the staff are very friendly, they helped us to book the speedboat. They organized some tours like fishing in the afternoon, whale shark and manta trip. It was really amazing! We did a bbq on the beach with them , spending a good time! We recommend them 100%. They have also watersports , so it is so easy to do many things in Dhangethi!
Mr. Areef was absolutely amazing! He was like our man on the island, taking us to places, receiving us, giving a tour of the island, telling us and doing whatever you ask for! He even helped us take our luggage to our next hotel and transport us there. Totally trustworthy! We couldn't ask for more! Absolutely recommended!
Very nice and helpful staff. Bestey, Eyesha are very nice people. They helped me with every question.We went on excursions together, they showed the real culture of the island and the Maldivians.. I am very glad that I chose this hotel. I will definitely come back here.. I advise everyone..
Lot of activities like snorkeling, diving, close to restaurants, shops and also to Bikini Beach. The owner was really kind and helpful. The room was good, comfortable bed, free coffee and water. That was a great stay in Dhangethi Inn Hotel.
