Great place for a stay on Hulhumale

I had an Oceanview room with a small balcony. I loved it. I sat outside and watched the waves and seaplanes coming into the airport. The hotel was directly across the street from the dive operator I went scuba diving with so the location was perfect for me. It was also an easy walk to the ferry terminal which was the meeting point for a snorkeling/sandbar tour I took. I was there 3 nights and will likely stay there again in the future.

A honey of a hotel

Overlooking the beach this was a great place to enjoy swimming in safe waters or dining at the local restaurants offering excellent food. Also it’s a handy place to visit Male using the local bus, ferry or taxi.
