8/10 Good
"To start off we stayed her for 3 nights after a liveaboard dive trip during the off season. we were looking to rest and relax and we got that. The room was comfortable the bed was two twins put together but pretty comfortable. Great shower. English was only spoken by the nice gal in reception but she is only there from 8:30 - 6:00. Nothing against the staff we found this true on the island in general. Wi-Fi is good we did stream video with no issue. we couldn't see the beach because of the lush vegetation but you are a 1 min walk. Breakfast was from 8:30 - 9:30 and was buffet style. a mix of local food plus hard boiled eggs, cereal, yogurt and rotated with pancakes or french toast. Convenient to town but there isn't much there. We ate lunch and dinner at a cafe that was about a 5 min walk. If you just want to unwind and don't need to be waited on this is a good to place to stay by Hinamaadhoo standards. Make sure you have a copy of your paid receipt. at checkout we were asked to pay for our stay, I had the Travelocity receipt and there was no further discussion."
