Sands Grand Hotel

We spent seven nights at this hotel, from the moment we arrived, we were greeted with genuine friendliness and kindness that set the tone for our stay. We were two couples and both the rooms were spacious, clean, and well-maintained throughout our visit. Fresh towels, including beach towels, were always readily available. The food was consistently nice, thanks to the talented chef and the kind waiter that always tried to fulfill our needs. Each meal was a delightful, served with care and professionalism by the attentive staff. Special thanks to the wonderful waiter, who always delivered service with a smile and kind words, making every meal feel special. One night he also prepared a special dinner for us with fresh grilled fish. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our time was filled with meaningful experiences, offering excellent advice on what to see and do in the area. Nothing seemed to ruffle their calm demeanor—they were always ready to help with anything and everything, making us feel like family. The people, the service, and the attention to detail made it an experience I will cherish forever.

We stayed in this hotel for 8 nights. The welcome was nice and friendly. The room was spacious and clean, regularly cleaned, with towels and beach towels. The room was equipped with a hairdryer, a refrigerator, and an electric kettle, which is quite enough for an ordinary day. The food was delicious every day (thanks to the skilled chef), brought to the table in a really pleasant, cultured way, always with a smile and kind words (thanks to the wonderful waiter). They tried to fill the time according to our requirements, but they gave very good advice on what is worth seeing and experiencing. What was extraordinary,was the attitude and behavior towards us. I have never seen such kind, warm-hearted, peaceful people as here. Nothing upset them, they would give you everything, they were helpful as much as possible. And not only some of them, but absolutely all of them! Starting with the manager, through the cooks, waiters, cleaners, all the employees... the absolute highlight was my birthday, where they surprised me with a beautifully decorated room and an even higher level was the dinner! They baked me a cake with with candles, sang, congratulated (again, everyone), arranged the table such unbelievably way, cooked a fantastic meal (as can be seen on photos). Saying goodbye was hard and tearful for me, because these were really the most wonderful holidays in my life

My trip to Dhigurah Island has been my best and favorite journey so far. We spent 12 nights at the Sands Grand Hotel, and there wasn't a single thing we didn't like. Cleanliness was top-notch, with fresh towels every day (including beach towels, so no need to bring your own), a comfortable bed in a spacious room, a large bathroom with a roomy shower, and a walk-in closet. The room was also equipped with a TV, a kettle, a safe, and a small fridge—everything you need for a pleasant stay. We had breakfast and dinner included, and we were more than impressed with the food (kudos to the chef!!). Every dish was to our liking. That's a brief overview of the accommodation. But if you ask me on a deeper level, I'd describe Sands Grand Hotel as a home away from home. The atmosphere was so cozy that we didn't want to leave. Whenever we needed something, they took care of it without any issues. The staff was friendly and full of energy. Special thanks to Shaheen, Irufan, and of course, everyone else, for making our days on Dhigurah even more special. Your warmth has touched my heart deeply. We truly felt at home, and I'm looking forward to our next reunion. Ingrid & Matic

I stayed here for two days as part of my trip around the Maldives. The staff were incredible in every aspect and went above and beyond to do their best. Local information, tips, support and guidance could not have been better. The room was large and very spacious with a nice work station. There was an issue with the internet but it was resolved immediately which was great for me as a digital nomad connectivity is essential. The excursions were incredible organised and ran by the hotel and we got to see mantras and whale sharks. The trip to the sandbank is a MUST and I highly recommend taking the hotel shuttle for a few dollars unless you fancy the 1 hour walk in the sun. The food was great with very generous portions and I will happily stay here again should I return to Dhigurah

We choose our dream island and dream accommodation.. saying dream because it was a dream. Since we arrived we were very warm welcome by manager of the hotel he is truly very kind and professional person giving us all the details about the hotel, area facilities itself and all the excursions that they provide. I love interior of the place very green a lot of plants we receive the room with doors opening to the backyard with full of flowers and greens it was such an breathtaking view I felt a bit like in Bali.. room was specious washroom decent generally we love the room it has everything what u need: hairdryer, tv in case u want watch Netflix comfy bed water delivered everyday really nice. We took all inclusive option so we had three meals in the hotel everyday something different and very tasty from scramble eggs through pancakes tuna steak and so on we were very satisfied.. the staff was very friendly and professional I felt like in home literally. The other day we were celebrating my birthday, thanks to management and the stuff that was really special day for me.. we took boat to deserted sand bank which was one of a kind of experience .. when we came back what a surprise the bed was decorated with flowers and happy birthday sign on it it was looking amazing and then at the dinner when I didn't expect anything more they brought a cake and they sing for me I couldn't believe it really special birthday for me I will always remember. Thank you. Hotel is in a walking distance from the beach, island itself it's a hidden gem paradise literally I would recommend to everyone. Thank you so much this trip will be always in my heart and I will be happy to be back whenever I have a chance!!

This is the best budget guesthouse I've visited in a whole our island's trip (given that I'm a demanding person for cleanliness and comfort in living). It felt like home there having a little garden with wooden art decoration. The staff is super friendly and attentive. Shahin the manager knows his job in a perfect way (many years working for resorts only). The food in a restaurant is very delicious, they can actually make a meal on your personal request. And the island Dhigurah by itself is still number 1 after visiting 6 islands in different Atolls.
