Is there anything I can write in this review that other guests didn’t write already here on booking? From the very first moment they welcome you on the airport to the moment you leave this paradise on the earth, everything was just p-e-r-f-e-c-t! Top notch personnel where everyone is trying to pamper you and fulfill all the wishes. Buddy - you are the king! Great food for breakfast - even better for lunch and dinner (special recommendation for Japanese restaurant). Overwater villas are located directly over the reef with incredible marine life underneath (snorkeling felt like Windows screen saver :). On the scale from 1 to 10 I give them 11! Guys thanks for everything.

We had a great stay at Kihaa Holiday Home! It is on a local island and the food was made my women living on the island and was just delicious! The house reef is very close and nice! The owner was very kind and helpful and introduced us to the local people and customs. He also organized local transportation and the contact for seeing mantas for us- which was one of our highlights!

Very nice decoration. Excellent air conditioning. Comfortable large bed. There's sand everywhere but it's an island in Maldives so it's expected. Water available for refilling at the open kitchen.

Right on the beach, lots of loungers and lovely places to sit. Pool is amazing - right over the sea.

The staff are super nice, helpful and attentive!

The scenery and activities is pretty similar across the various guesthouses on the island, we saw turtles and rays when snorkeling near the beach. I will focus more on what makes Chak’z stand out instead. I really love the rooms. They are new, big and very spacious. There is enough space to lay out all our swimming and photography equipment. We got a room on the ground floor so there is direct access to the beach. I love to sit on the sofa near the glass window to look at the sea at times. The service staffs at Chak’z are also very kind, they really try their best to attend to all our requests. During our manta and snorkeling trips, Husham will always look out for us and make sure we are safe and well. We didn’t eat often at the in-house restaurant, but no matter what time we go, the guys will immediately greet us and get to work. The food always tasted great! Their breakfast is very simple, not a very fancy buffet with many dishes. But it was good for us because we love Maldivian tuna roshi. Chak’z Roshi is one of the softest that I have ever eaten. If you like varieties, there are many eateries around the island within 10 min’s walk. You can also get many things from the local supermarket. If we ever visit Dharavandhoo again, we will definitely stay at Chak’z again.

Our experience at Swarn was exceptional. The staff greeted us warmly at the jetty, making us feel immediately welcome. The check-in process was seamless, and the team had already taken our lunch order while we were still at Dharavandhoo jetty—service you don’t often find even in luxury hotels. Our personal host was incredibly attentive, staying in touch via WhatsApp throughout our stay. The ocean views from our room and bathroom were truly the highlight, offering a serene and calming atmosphere. The rooms were well-equipped with all the necessary amenities, and both the service and cleanliness were top-notch. The food was plentiful and impressive for a local island in the Maldives. Kamadhoo, located in BAA Atoll, is an underrated island that truly is a hidden gem. The beaches are stunning, especially the expansive Bikini Beach. The island is convenient with a few cafes, restaurants, and shops. The local residents are kind and welcoming. The reefs near the beach are well-maintained and incredibly beautiful. We also enjoyed a Manta excursion, just a few minutes from the island, where we had the amazing experience of seeing Mantas up close. The excursion was well-organized by Rifaa and his team. Additionally, the spa therapist, Erna, provided an excellent massage, enhancing our overall relaxation. We will definitely return again and again!

Short version: this is paradise on earth and you will have the time of your life in this hotel. Long(er) version: I was traveling alone and therefore was looking for a safe and welcoming place. My experience began when I landed from the seaplane and was welcomed by the most amazing staff. Welcome drinks and tour of the resort and room. Every morning would start with a great breakfast, loads of variety and fresh fruits. Same for dinner when on half board (as I was), the hotel really tries to change the setting and menu every night. The watervillas are amazing and super clean. The view is unbelievable. My only thing would be that, because there is a little sandbank in front of my villa, people from the neighboring villas would come and it can sometimes lack a little privacy. I had the privilege to be offered a complimentary lunch in the beautiful water restaurant where Sajan, Hassan and Reefa treated me like royalty! I can’t thank them enough for their professionalism and dedication. In the evening, Majid is the best waiter you can have in the main restaurant. He remembers your name and what you like to make sure you have the best experience. Thank you Majid! Another huge highlight is OceanFanatics, the diving center of the resort. They offer trips only when they are guaranteed that some Mantas or WhaleSharks are spotted, so you don’t miss them! I also signed up for what seemed like a terrifying experience: night snorkeling! It is a must do as it was the best time of my life. Thank you to the diving staff for making me feel comfortable and safe in the water. Overall, I cannot stress enough how cute, human size and welcoming this resort is. Thank you!!
