Ripple Beach Inn is very well situated, with the beach literally across the road. There are many cafes and restaurants in the area with a wide choice of menus. Staff were always polite and helpful, though on a few occasions their understanding of English was limited. Breakfast wasnt included in the price and at the price I was paying (about$100 a night) I think it should have been.

The owner was extremely hospitable and allowed me to check in late. He even drove me to the bank and hospital for an additional PCR test I needed for a later flight. They provided complimentary water too and I was able to have my laundry taken care of there by the staff. They hotel was directly across from the beach and about 30 minutes from the airport-very convenient. It was also located right in the heart of everything. Restaurants and coffee shops were close by. The rooms were cozy, apartment style and very clean! The bed was comfy, had an AC, a mini-fridge and the room even had a small balcony. The complimentary breakfast was tasty. Edwin was like my personal concierge. Great hotel for a great price!

リゾートホテルから帰国時の前泊用で滞在。ピックアップお願いしたにも関わらず、結局こなかった。空港から電話で問い合わせしたが、英語ができるスタッフが少ない印象。到着後、受付の女性は、ピックアップできなかった事のお詫びと、親切な対応してくれた。ホテルの印象としては、エクスペディアサイトに掲載されている写真とかなりギャップあり。マレでの相場としてこれぐらいの価格であればこの程度なのだろう、という勉強になった。

Horrible experience. The room was unclean, the staff was unfriendly, unhelpful and even tried to scam us offering to exchange our US dollars to local currency (they said the closest money exchange was "too far" from the hotel, and we quickly found one 3 blocks away and of course with a better rate of what they were offering). Simple requests like asking for extra towels were reluctantly addressed by the front desk with a real bad attitude. On top of everything, we woke up to find no electricity in our room after the first night, which meant no AC in a hot and humid weather. As anyone would do, we fled the place first thing in the morning and are currently asking for a full refund of our money. This place was the only downside of our trip to Maldives, a wonderful country that can't be enjoyed staying in this hotel. Wouldn't recommend it to anybody, stay away!!!

Staff was nice and tried their best to address the issues we raised. We stayed one night before going to resort. 1. Room leaked water and stank of mold. Staff seemed surprised about the massive leak and let us change rooms. 2. Staff merely watched as I carried my family’s luggage down tiny stairs. 3. After arranging hotel transport to airport for transfer to our resort, transport was late and we almost missed flight. 4. Breakfast was corn flakes, that was it. 5. Photos of hotel are deceptive and do not show true state of facilities which are best described as run down. 6. In first room bed linens were stained with yellow splotches.

空港へピックアップに来てもらったりととても対応は丁寧で良かったです。しかし現地で支払いをしようとするとクレジットカードの手数料が別途発生するといわれて請求をされたり、写真に写っているような部屋とは大きく異なる少し設備的に難がある部屋だった。 しかしホテルを出れば直ぐにビーチで清々しい朝が迎えられる。そして朝ごはんを作ってくれるお兄さんは気さくで面白い。そして朝ごはんも豪華ではないが十分食べられます。じっくり腰を据えて滞在にはお勧めできませんが、飛行機の時間の都合で‥などの場合の滞在としてはアリかと思います。＊なお周辺はとても暗く、少し治安が心配ですので、夜はあまり出歩かない方が良さそうに思いました。

Stayed in the sea view penthouse suite for 2 nights. One night on our arrival to Malé before going to our resort and the second on our return trip home. I would definitely say it’s only good to stay for a night in transit to your next hotel/resort. The bathroom in the pictures is NOT the actual bathroom. I had to blast the air conditioning on the lowest setting to not sweat to death. Breakfast was decent. We were a family of 4 and were only provided with 2 towels, 3 pillows and two blankets. Luckily we brought my youngest blanket. Our feet were black when we left from the dirty floors so I would suggest wearing shoes or socks the entire time. Staff was nice and very friendly during our stay though.

이동전 잠시 머물기 최적

말레에 밤에도착했다가 다음날 다른 리조트로 이동하기 위해 하룻밤 머물고자 하는 분에게 강추. 훌루말레에 있어서 공항 이동시간도 별로 안걸리며 친절한 스탭분들이 다음날 이동할 리조트에 직접 연락하여 스케줄 조율도 다해줍니다. 방은 넓지 않으나 잠만 자는데 문제없고 바로앞에 해변이 있어 몰디브 바다 맛뵈기도 가능. 아침에 즉석에서 부쳐주는(!) 토스트 위주 단촐한 아침도 굿.

Stay with Family in Maldives near to city area

The staff was very welcoming, supportive, and helping. The hotel is located in an area very safe and with all kind of availabilities on walking distance. The morning was very beautiful with an awesome sunrise view. General continental breakfast is served on the table in lobby area. If you plans your stay in this hotel due to humid weather better take insects repellent (especially for mosquito, bed bugs), soap and shampoo with you. Be ready to climb lot of stairs with short spacing like ladder. Room make over is until 1PM. For water activities islands are good or consult directly with the companies a day or before.
