I stayed at this hotel a few months ago and had a wonderful experience, especially thanks to one of the employees, who I became quite friendly with during my stay (Nerella Shiva Kumar). We’ve kept in touch since then, and he recently finished his three-month season working at this hotel. Unfortunately, it’s been four months since his contract ended, and he still hasn’t received his salary. Even more concerning is that it seems like the hotel has no intention of paying him what he’s owed. This kind of treatment is unacceptable, and it reflects very poorly on the hotel’s management. I strongly urge potential guests to reconsider supporting a business that treats its staff this way.
We had a wonderful time on Royal Island. The island is not very new, but that doesn't matter once you're watching the sunset with a glass of wine or exploring the underwater world with a snorkel. The whole team is incredibly warm and always helpful. Our host Minny was always available for us and gave us information about the weather and the planned activities every day. At the bar, Rukmann conjured up great cocktails for us, and the food was also varied and very tasty. We were also lucky with the transfer; we landed on Male at 5:00 a.m. and continued on with the scheduled flight at 6:30 a.m. On the return flight, we left at 5:00 a.m. on the speedboat and made our flight at 7:00 a.m. without rushing or having to wait for long periods. (Depending on the flight time, this can also work out differently; we've heard of up to 7 hours of waiting time in Male from other guests). Our offer also included an evening fishing trip, which we did at the end so that we could experience it together with our new friends. Highly recommended. otherwise we found the excursions on offer and the prices in the spa to be rather high and so we didn't try it out. But we really had a great time on the island, we met nice people, did sports, played billiards, ate well, enjoyed ourselves and laughed a lot and came back tanned with great photos and well rested. a big thank you from cold Germany, keep up the good work ;-)
Despite having to cut our trip shortly due to a family bereavement, we had 3 incredible and unforgettable days at Kiha. Starting with the pick up from the airport in a small golf cart, first time for everything, every member of staff went out of their way to make our trip, including the reception staff, the excursions organiser and the staff at meal times. This has the feel of being a small, family run hotel, where they really care. The food was excellent but not the gluttony fest of other larger hotels and resorts. The rooms are clean and modern, the beach is running and quiet and the pool is a bonus. The trips to Hanifaru are obviously a highlight, we packed in 3 trips in 3 days along with a bonus night time swim with Whale Sharks. Note, the trips are about one fifth the price of exactly the same trip on the private islands ! Finally, faced with the need to cut short our trip, change our flights and get to Male ASAP, the team did everything to help. All in all, we loved our stay here and only wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks to all !!!
From June 27 to July 12… our first stay here and we are already thinking of booking again for February 2025 as we had such a perfect stay. The hotel very kindly arranged our internal flights from Male to Dharavandoo which we paid for about a week before our arrival. This is very useful because booking directly with Manta Air or one of the other operators costs significantly more. Once we arrived, a hotel staff member was at the local airport to greet us and take us on a short (five-minute) ride to the hotel by golf cart with our luggage. There are around 12 rooms which are all lovely - the beach rooms are a little simpler (but still perfectly acceptable), the luxury rooms are ideal and very well furnished. We had a beach room and our daughters the Deluxe room. Both had excellent air conditioning for very humid nights. The staff could not be faulted, as it is a small hotel, everyone was recognizable and extremely helpful in every sense of the word. The food was excellent, fish, pasta, chicken and much more. As there are only a limited number of people, the food is served directly or as a small buffet and was always hot as it was not left standing for hours as is often found. Prices were very reasonable if you ordered additional meals which were not part of your package and tea and coffee were free and soft drinks very reasonable. The dining and reception areas are perfectly clean and tidy. The bikini beach is about 20 meters from the rooms where there are sun loungers and towels or yoga mats are free from the hotel. In the garden you will find seating and tables for outside dining if you wish. Just ask and a table will be set for you and food will be brought to your table (no charge for eating out). There were rarely more than 10 people using the beach and deck chairs when we were there, so we had a lot of the beach to ourselves most of the time. The lagoon near the beach is shallow and suitable for children taking their first steps in snorkeling. Those with a little more experience can head to the reef just beyond the lagoon and see a much greater variety of fish and maybe even a passing turtle if you're lucky. If you don't have any equipment, just talk to the hotel. The LVIS Blancura is about a 4-5-minute walk along the beach to the harbor and the town itself, where you'll find a variety of shops from gift shops to a well-stocked supermarket and a pharmacy if you need one. you need. All of these products are very reasonably priced (around $1 for a chocolate bar if that helps). There is also a hospital on the island – but I hope it will not be necessary. There are about five or six cafés and restaurants (plus the guest houses and hotels where you can also eat). Overall we were delighted with our stay at the LVIS Blancura and have no hesitation in recommending them for singles, families or couples. As mentioned we will be booking again for 2025.
