We had another wonderful vacation at the Ocean Retreat. Thank you for everything, whether it was help with sunburn, questions about the transfer or simply about life on Guraidhoo. We felt very comfortable. The buffet is delicious and the price-performance ratio is simply great. Khalek and all the other staff make your stay a real feel-good vacation.

Great value, rooms were clean and tidy, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Guriadhoo was very safe and had some beautiful beachs, and amazing diving. You could surf at riptides, a fun right hander just be careful of 5 min paddle across the channel, foxys the left hander was a bit fickle and best at mid to high tide, Much better value than staying at the expensive resorts or kandoma holiday inn

Liked: Cleanliness
My experience at Ocean Retreat & Spa was overall disappointing. While the hotel is clean and initially felt welcoming, that impression quickly faded. The manager was very warm and friendly when we arrived, but his attitude changed drastically once the payment was made—he became cold, distant, and uninterested. It was clear that he was more focused on profit than on guest satisfaction. As for the island of Guraidhoo, it’s quiet but there’s very little to do. It might be suitable for a short stopover, but I wouldn’t recommend staying here for your entire vacation unless you’re looking for a very slow-paced, uneventful stay. Other islands like Maafushi offer a far richer and more engaging experience.

More then I was expected

I just want to thanks to all staff in hotel there are amazing and helpful. First of all you can come to there via private tranfer or public depends what you preferred more but it’s very good both off. Near to the hotel is port few minutes walking. Hotel has amazing welcome room and very clean dining area. Room are very clean with all cofeee tea water just no soap and gel(that you need to take from home) . Beach is the best that I see there in few island oround. You have sun beds and umbrellas for free and it’s only for tourist . Area oround is that you have one small cafe to buy drinks and in the island you will find also a lot to eat . All in I just want to give 10 even I am sure that they will upgrade something after my stay. Thanks a lot for beautiful stay.

Extremely Bad Excursion Staff

As someone who has traveled to more than 30 countries, this is the first time I will write such a comment. The excursion manager of the hotel is an incompatible person named Zizu. He discriminated against us among other guests because we did not participate in the trip he wanted. He scammed us and charged us $20 extra per head. Moreover, despite this, he always ignored our questions and requests until the last day. Almost everything we dreamed of was ruined because of him. The hotel's biggest problem is Zizu. Apart from this, the kitchen staff was friendly and attentive. Room attendant Khalek was a respectful person who did his job extremely well. The reception was also polite and respectful. The meals were sufficient and satisfying. The rooms, facilities and location were very satisfactory. Guraidhoo is a small and quiet island. Don't go with high expectations. It can be preferred for tranquility and plenty of siesta. But because of Zizu, I would never consider going there again. Thank you to other employees for their interest and concern.

Kiváló hotel Maldívon : Guraidhoo szigetén

Kiváló szálloda. Kellemes szobák, megfelelő méretűek, kényelmesek. A szobák tiszták és a fürdőszoba is tiszta. A recepciós, és a személyzet nagyos kedves és segítőkész. Sok program lehetőséget is adnak, sokféle a lehetőség. A reggeli kiváló. A hotelben 10 dollárért akár vacsorát is rendeznek de előre kell szólni. A hotel személyzete fogad a kikötőben és jönnek kis kocsival a bőröndökért, természetesen előre egyeztetés előtt.

Unser Zimmer war ganz oben auf der Terrasse (2 Zimmer des Hotel sind im Dachgeschoss) und wir hätten nicht glücklicher mit dieser Zuteilung sein können. Die Dachterrasse bietet nachts einen traumhaften Blick auf die Sterne. Die Liegen dort oben sind zahlreich, und bieten zusätzlich tagsüber die Möglichkeit zum Sonne tanken, falls man Mal nicht zum Strand gehen kann. Der Bikini Beach hat tolle Hängesessel im Schatten, aber auch bei Bedarf Liegen. Die Hängematte von Guraidhoo (mit dem Schild Guraidhoo) sollte dringend restauriert werden, da mag man sich nicht so gern reinlegen. Leute nehmt euren Müll mit am Strand, ich habe so oft erlebt, dass Touristen ihren Müll stehen lassen. Das geht gar nicht, seid ein Vorbild, dann sieht der Bikini Beach umso schöner aus. Wir empfehlen einen täglichen Spaziergang über die Insel. Soviel gibt's zu entdecken, an kleinen Alltagsszenen aber auch Dingen die wir ins unserer europäischen Bubbel nicht sehen. Für die persönlichen Bedürfnisse findet man einige Läden auf der Insel, wo man Snacks, Getränke etc. kaufen kann. Tolles Essen (das Buffet am Abend, der Hammer), großartiges Team in der Küche. Wir kommen wieder!

Super Friendly

I had a good experience, start to finish. The owner and staff were very helpful and friendly, the accomodation was spacious (I'm used to Hong Kong!) clean, and comfortable. Food was good and plentiful. I wasn't here for a vacation as such, it was a 'hop' location between countries on my way 'home'....my requirements might be quite different from people on a holiday! The guys at the guest house did ask about excursions, swimming with sharks etc. but I didn't have the time in the week :( Good people, comfortable, affordable place to be. WiFi just worked for everything I needed it for (I wasn't editing and posting video!) Would visit again anytime. Recommended if you're visiting Guraidhoo and you want a quit, local experience. I didn't take pics of the accomodation itself, they are all of Guraidhoo itself, sorry about that!
