Aqua Sunset

Gulhi is just right if you want to unwind, and the locals take good care of visitors. At the hotel, the owners were sociable and thoughtful. When they learned our airport transfer wasn't until 5 p.m., they let us stay at the beach and use the hotel shower, which made a big difference. We picked full board, and that was definitely the right choice. The chef surprised us each day with a different meal, always natural and typical of the area. They brought cold bottled water to our room daily. We were looked after and felt secure throughout. On arrival, we were greeted with fresh tropical juice and staff carried our bags to the room. We'll definitely return.

We loved our stay so much that we canceled the last night we'd booked elsewhere and stayed here another night. The owner, Mohamed Armeen, was kind and very helpful, and all the staff were wonderful. The food was great too, and we enjoyed the hotel's beautiful view. Bikini Beach is a five-minute walk away. It was one of the best beaches I've visited, with clear blue water and clean white sand. The hotel also arranged an excursion where we saw dolphins and reefs and swam with whale sharks, turtles, fish and manta rays. We visited a local island as part of the trip, and lunch was included. They can arrange paid transport to and from Male airport as well.

The staff were the best part of our stay. They kindly let us check in early and leave late, which we really appreciated. Food was interesting and traditional, a nice change from the usual restaurants in other countries we've visited. It's a lovely small island, and the prices are affordable. Great value for the money.

It’s budget-friendly, clean, and the rooms have plenty of space. The people are what made it feel special: everyone was so kind and welcoming, it felt like family. Armin, the owner, helped with everything we needed, and Dila cooked amazing food. The waiters and cleaning team were lovely too. Big thanks to captain Korey and his crew for organizing such great trips. I can't wait to come back.
