Fulhadhoo, Maldives
Positive section of review
Really good location right in the middle of the island, close to shops and a great little café. The breakfasts were a good size and enjoyable (too big for us to finish!). Rooms were clean, comfortable, and bathroom was spacious. Would recommend Fulhadhoo even just for the amazing beach! It's a decent 20min walk through a beautiful sandy path, but well worth it. The guesthouse was kind enough to taxi us along in their buggy. We arrived on the island on the local Dhoni at 7.25am, had reached out to ask if we could leave our bags at the guesthouse before check-in at 2pm, but they went above and beyond and already had our room ready which was a lovely surprise.

From entering the guesthouse, excursions were mentioned almost immediately, not a huge issue (and expected in most places), but when touching the wildlife isn't just offered, but encouraged, it quickly changed the mood. The gentleman trying to sell trips was very proud showing us a video of a previous guest lifting a turtle out of the sea, and others reaching out to "stroke" mantas. You don't need to look very far to find out why this is totally unacceptable, but I'm not here to lecture. We decided there and then we wouldn't be doing any excursions with Azoush. On our second morning, excursions were pushed again as we came through for breakfast. They have a large TV in the dining area and decided to start playing their "Azoush Productions" videos of the trips they offer. Again, lots of touching with not a lot of respect for the nature and environment, with almost comical shots of previous guests struggling to swim. One of the trips was "Octopus Hunting". Killing things for fun isn't something that's on our vacation list, but each to their own. Watching tourists trying, and mostly failing to spear an octopus to death multiple times, before proudly wearing the poor thing on their shoulder is not something I expected to see while eating breakfast. We're no vegans, but if I'm going to go hunting for my dinner, I'd ask someone who knows what they're doing to land the killing blow rather than subject any animal to that torture :-(

Everything was more than perfect! We couldn't have chosen a better place. The hotel is incredibly beautiful, the room is super comfortable (especially the bed) and has everything needed, and the breakfast is delicious. But especially, the staff is lovely; they help you in every way possible always with a smile and make you feel at home. It's a very relaxing atmosphere with silence and background music. We are really happy to have chosen them and would repeat with no doubt. A million thanks again for everything!!

It was good, I think it's the best hotel on the island in terms of accommodation, it was clean and the staff was kind, and the location was perfect! On this island, which is considered one of the most beautiful, I don't think there is a better alternative as a hotel. I stayed here for 5 nights with my family

Breakfast, very very poor considering that all the customers are tourists and especially many Europeans, the coffee is of poor quality! Regarding the excursions (manta ray trip whaleshark trip... etc) it is a mafia system, that is, at this hotel the excursion operator was Go Divers and this hotel only offered you this excursion operator that had exorbitant prices and did not offer you any guarantee... they would take your money and if you were lucky enough to see a manta ray or a whale shark that day, ok, if not that was it! And if you try another operator, i.e. Divers Dhigurah or Island Divers, don't take it because you were staying in the hotel where Go Divers operated! Stupid policy for day trips! You cannot find sunbeds on the beach, although it is full of tourists, all hotels should put sunbeds on the beach for tourists - bikini Beach. Without tourists the island is dead, and those on the island don't think they understood that without tourists the island is dead! They should put the tourist first and make more facilities for tourists!!

I didn't like anything! It doesn't look like in the pictures, it's very sad, a lot of mess, and the food at the table - I had dinner at the location in the evening - is not edible

Well, first of all, I stayed only one day and one night on the island because I went from Dhigurah, and I went with the local ferry, so only in transit, but I have never used such a sad accommodation!, The staff was nice but that's it , the rest.... sad sad sad

The facilities staff with pick up and drop off from the airport was amazing and seamless. The lobby was clean and lovely and welcome staff were super friendly
Negative section of review
I thought that the floor in our room was still dirty found other persons hair on the shower floor still. The location was good for Male, however I think it’s important to know travellers to Male woman should dress modest covering knees and shoulders (different on the island resorts). Breakfast wasn’t overly good cereal was old and things in the buffet were cold.

This is not a 3 star location!!! It is an unacceptable mess and dirt! (see pictures attached to the comment) Downstairs is an attempt at a Thai restaurant, and it smells very bad all over the place all the time - the smell of food! There is mess everywhere, the rooms are very small, mess - broken accessories, broken windows on the door to the balcony... the TV doesn't work and it tells you calmly that this is it... Walls inside the room with peeling paint... The price from the street with an unbearable noise, you can't sleep at all! Breakfast is made by the Thai restaurant - very spicy and very very poor and not edible! DO NOT stay here! We were in transit, we stayed 2 nights, but it was a nightmare! It's an unsafe location where you can get hurt!!

This is not a 4 star location!!! In no case! Maybe 2, but not 4. Well, first of all, I think I'm committing a fraud.... I take some pictures of one of the more beautiful rooms, they post them on the website and when you get to them, they offer you a sad and dirty room! The room had a fixed window - which didn't open at all, not that it was defective or something, that's how it was designed... fixed without opening, The size of the room was tiny, it wasn't for 2 people. Then they are not receptive at all.... They are not curious if you are satisfied once you have paid - they don't care anymore! The bathroom smelled bad since I arrived, and I reported this aspect to them almost every day (I stayed 5 nights) and all they did was to put a scent.... imagine the smell. Mess in the room, dirty towels, unpleasant smell in the bathroom, mold in the bathroom after the hot water boiler (see pictures) Breakfast - very very sad! So one of the most THIS NO accommodation
