Ocean Retreat & Spa

Проживали в этом гесте вдвоём с женой с 25.06 по 28.06. Всё более чем понравилось очень вежливый и улыбчивый администратор Zizoо сразу с заселения дал понять, что может решить любые вопросы в гесте. Сам гест расположен в 2-3 минутах ходьбы от бикини пляжа, жили в номере на самом верхнем этаже с которого открывался прекрасный вид на море. Номер выглядит как на фото, всё чистое и целое, хоть и не новое. Еду выбрали полный пансион, всё было вкусно, кроме обедов, нам их не совсем хватало, но вот ужин всегда был отменным, рыба и мясо были всегда, рис и макароны тоже, салаты, фрукты, десерты, соки, вода. Брали прогулку с снорклингом, плавали с акулами, скатами, рыбками, дельфинов к сожалению не досатолось, но искали их в течении получаса. С номера открывается замечательный вид на лагуну, море всегда радовало чистой, прозрачной водой. Один раз в день выезда был тропический ливень, в течении 4х часов, а так отдых был замечательным. Мальдивы этой настоящий рай.

В целом отель нам понравился, расположение - ближайшее к бикини-бич. Понравились сотрудники, сразу реагировали на все просьбы. Единственное, но это есть на всех локалах: за 4 дня пребывания ни в этом отеле, ни в других, ни разу не убирались, не выносили мусор. Нам приходилось самим собирать мусор в пакеты (собственные) и выставлять за дверь. На просьбу мусор вынести - так и не вынесли из номера. Может дать политика такая - не заходить в номер, пока люди там живут. А в остальном все отлично, отель и персонал нам понравились. Благодарим!

Our 2nd week on Maldives having been to Maldives 9 years ago. New to this island. It reminds me of what Maafushi was probably like 20 years ago. I can see it ending up like Maafushi with 50 hotels and tons of restaurants. At the moment it is quite untouched. Very reasonable priced hotels. I paid £50 a night for our room for 2. This was more a rustic guest house rather than hotel. There is NO LIFT. I have severe walking difficulties so found our room on the third floor difficult to get to. Everything you would expect in this rustic guest house. Although there for 6n not once was ANY of our 3 rooms cleaned. No towels changed etc. Breakfast was sufficient but basic buffet. toast and croissants provided as well as boiled eggs, 'chicken' sausages and kind of turkey bacon. Usual cereals and 'fruit' juices/tea/coffee. Took about 10 mins to walk to bikini beach. Don't be fooled with the hotel photos as it looks like they have their own beach. There is a terrace on the top floor with an old indoor jacuzzi bath (but not switched on or any water). This terrace had beautiful sea views. Also bikini beach is very beautiful but not very good due to seating. It is clean. sea is beautiful but it lacks basic amenities. There are about 8-10 double sunbeds covered areas but that's it. There's the odd couple of broken damaged sunbeds but that's it. Only a couple of palm trees providing shade. Think this island could make a fortune if they had sunbeds for hire. As previously stated I have mobility issues so getting actually down on the beach is difficult for me so this impaired my experience. Limited number of places to eat at night and more expensive than other islands. Much quieter pace of life on this island. My party of 6 preferred this island than the busier Maafushi (however, I preferred Maafushi). I think in the future this will be a very populated island. So if you like rustic, quiet islands with very little to do it will suit you. But your options are limited here.

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.

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.

I liked everything. The only thing i didn’t like very much was the food: too much curry and too much spacy ( that i hate ).
