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.

Great value, rooms were clean and tidy, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Guriadhoo was very safe and had some beautiful beachs, and amazing diving. You could surf at riptides, a fun right hander just be careful of 5 min paddle across the channel, foxys the left hander was a bit fickle and best at mid to high tide, Much better value than staying at the expensive resorts or kandoma holiday inn

More then I was expected
I just want to thanks to all staff in hotel there are amazing and helpful. First of all you can come to there via private tranfer or public depends what you preferred more but it’s very good both off. Near to the hotel is port few minutes walking. Hotel has amazing welcome room and very clean dining area. Room are very clean with all cofeee tea water just no soap and gel(that you need to take from home) . Beach is the best that I see there in few island oround. You have sun beds and umbrellas for free and it’s only for tourist . Area oround is that you have one small cafe to buy drinks and in the island you will find also a lot to eat . All in I just want to give 10 even I am sure that they will upgrade something after my stay. Thanks a lot for beautiful stay.

Super Friendly
I had a good experience, start to finish. The owner and staff were very helpful and friendly, the accomodation was spacious (I'm used to Hong Kong!) clean, and comfortable. Food was good and plentiful. I wasn't here for a vacation as such, it was a 'hop' location between countries on my way 'home'....my requirements might be quite different from people on a holiday! The guys at the guest house did ask about excursions, swimming with sharks etc. but I didn't have the time in the week :( Good people, comfortable, affordable place to be. WiFi just worked for everything I needed it for (I wasn't editing and posting video!) Would visit again anytime. Recommended if you're visiting Guraidhoo and you want a quit, local experience. I didn't take pics of the accomodation itself, they are all of Guraidhoo itself, sorry about that!

Beautiful bikini beach island for pictures
It has been a wonderfull stay. The hotel is well managed and well kept. They always try to do their best. The island has no deep enouh bikini beack and is full of dead coral branches so getting into and out of the water is tricky use water shoes. The snorkeling also is almost nothing so the best bet is to get excursions that are very good.

Wonderful stay at Ocean retreat and Spa
We had a wonderful stay at Ocean retreat and spa. The place is very well maintained, very clean, has excellent facilities, have a very delicious breakfast and everyone is very nice. They offer affordable excursions and they always make sure that everyone has a really good time. We enjoyed every minute of our stay in Ocean retreat and Spa and special thanks to ZiZu, Shamir, and I can't remember all the other names but everyone has been very nice.

Very friendly staff!
The hotel staff was very nice and really helpful. They made us feel very welcome and took good care of us. The facilities are very new and the rooftop is wonderful. The island itself is however not the prettiest, it is rather dirty and the beach was not nice. This is of course nothing that the hotel can help. We didn't like the fact that the hotel was located just next to the mosque and we woke up at five every morning as that was the time for the morning prayer. It sounded like they were inside our room screaming. We would however want to give a huge plus for the service, the warmth and the hospitality of the staff. If you are going to Guraidhoo, this is a very good place to stay at.

Money value hotel
I spent one week in Ocean retreat hotel, it's a new small clean hotel. Guraidhoo is not a private island so you will live with a friendly local people. The staf was very friendly and helpful. About the food, it was delicious but not buffet all the day, Manta divingis just 100m beside the hotel. Thank you all

amazing dolphin trip and snorkelling with turtles
Hotel and staff were very helpful. Clean beautiful views. Found full board good option and speedboat transfers great in comparison to Ferry. Exceptionally good as met at airport and guided to speedboat and met when arrived and dropped off when leaving. Great ambiance. Sea is a stones throw from hotel. Island is quiet.

Kiváló hotel Maldívon : Guraidhoo szigetén
Kiváló szálloda. Kellemes szobák, megfelelő méretűek, kényelmesek. A szobák tiszták és a fürdőszoba is tiszta. A recepciós, és a személyzet nagyos kedves és segítőkész. Sok program lehetőséget is adnak, sokféle a lehetőség. A reggeli kiváló. A hotelben 10 dollárért akár vacsorát is rendeznek de előre kell szólni. A hotel személyzete fogad a kikötőben és jönnek kis kocsival a bőröndökért, természetesen előre egyeztetés előtt.
