This was my first Maldives trip, so I was a bit nervous I might not be impressed, but it was a nice surprise that I will remember in my heart.
First of all, this is a barefoot island..there’s no concrete, but sand everywhere. The beach amazing and never thought snorkel could be so good only feet away from getting in the water. The resort offers one free snorkel trip every day, but swimming around the island is so good as well.
Bungalows are super nice with good amenities, AC and open air bathroom fitted with quality items (Grohe).
The staff is super nice and helpful.
Buffet is good, we stayed 6 days and food was different each day. There is an a-la-carte restaurant for an additional fee, but I didn’t go there.
Last, the stuff is super friendly and helpful.
Most of the extra are quite pricey, but you are on a remote island after all. You can pay in USD at the end, the rate is close to the intra banking exchange).
There are people checking out at 6am and they get the rooms ready for the next guest immediately, so if you land at Male at 8am, they will check you in as soon as you get on the island.
This hotel has a great location, very close to the beach. The bed setup is perfect for families traveling with children, and the room is well-equipped with everything we needed. Most importantly, the staff here are extremely friendly — from the restaurant servers and the front desk receptionists to the staff who arranged our snorkeling and boat trips, everyone was exceptionally warm and helpful. If we come back to Dhiffushi Island in the future, we would definitely choose to stay at this hotel again!
