Location! It was right next to the beautiful bikini beach.
The room was very spacious and comfortable. The hotel offers lots of excursions and is more than happy to assist with travel to and from the island.
The cooking class was a great experience too.
Thank you Thundi!

We have met our host in a restaurant on arrival. We were welcomed with a drink and host was very patient and answered all our questions. Accommodation had comfortable beds in spacious rooms in continental style. Kettle and fridge were available in all rooms. Air con was working fine. Guesthouse is in quiet location, away from the busy village. Guesthouse is located very close to the beach. Beach towels and sun beds were provided. We have stayed on Maalhos due to location as Maalhos is close to Hanifaru Bay. Martin, our host, is great in terms of communication. He is available 24/7 and constantly is checking on their guests to ensure that everything is well. He definitely made our stay enjoyable and he felt like a part of our family 😃 Thanks a lot for all your help Martin and all hard work you put into making people’s dreams come true! We will never forget swimming with manta rays!

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.
Facing the beachfront, Chak’z 1964 Beach offers 4-star accommodation in Dharavandhoo and features a garden, restaurant and bar.

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.
Offering a barbecue and sun terrace, Hanifaru Transit Inn is set in Dharavandhoo in the Baa Atoll Region.

We had a wonderful days on the island thanks to Ahmed and his team. Ahmed met us at the airport, shared information about the island and showed us where everything was. The room was large, everything was clean. The breakfasts were excellent. Ahmed organised several tours for us at very nice prices. Everything was incredible. We swam with mantas, sharks, rays and even went night snorkelling with a whale shark. We recommend staying at this guest house, you will be very satisfied. We will definitely come back!
This is a small local island. It’s quiet and simple.
This is a small local island. It’s quiet and simple. The people are friendly. The beach and the sea is beautiful. There are a few restaurants on the island. We have limited choice on food. We recommend the restaurant called Moonshell as it provides more international food and the price is reasonable. There is another cafe near the pier where we can eat local Maldivian food. The cafe is popular among locals. The island is very close to the Manta point called Hanifaru Bay. We recommend this manta excursion as this is a wonderful once in a lifetime experience. It is convenient to bring cash and exchange some Maldivian money to spend and pay for the meals.

A local island so don't expect the resort life - the beaches...
A local island so don't expect the resort life - the beaches look picture perfect, but the streets are full of trash. You can experience and learn about the local lifestyle, traditions etc. which is a big plus in my opinion. I read that the house reef is one of the best in the Maledives and I can absolutely vouch for that.

Maalhos is a beautiful island surrounded by white coral...
Maalhos is a beautiful island surrounded by white coral beaches. It has a forest full of palms and tropical trees and plants. If you visit it in the evening, use mosquito repellent. Local villagers are nice and friendly. There is a bikini beach with sun beds and amazing access to turquoise colour water. Beaches are white sand and on several parts of the island you can find corals and shells on the beach. There is a diving center, you can rent a water scooter or go for a snorkeling trip. Snorkeling was an amazing experience. We saw tropical fish, sting rays, corals and big turtles while snorkeling. We went for a dolphin watch and saw dozens of dolphins swimming and jumping in the sea. There is an isolated island close to Maalhos with beautiful turquoise lagoons. Unfortunately there was also quite a lot of trash when we visited and the forest is full of mosquitoes, so don't forget to take your repellent if you visit. During some months you can watch mantas. We had the luck and the blue bioluminescence plankton 3 or 4 nights on the beach, it was a breath taking experience. We stayed and took breakfast, lunch and dinner in Manta Reserve Hotel, which is the best place to stay in Maalhos. You can walk around the island in 45 minutes.
