The whole resort was just a pleasure to stay at. It was spotless and the customer service was amazing. Have to say that Chandana, Asela, Jesica, Ann, Naif, Saddam and Saleem, were exceptional in their care and Vipdla looked after us well in the restaurant. The house reef was lovely and the fish were amazing to watch and swim with. The rooms were lovely and the care for the Island was great to see, the attention to detail to make the stay perfect made the whole break so relaxing, exactly as you imagine it to be.

Wir waren für 7 Tage auf Ellhaidoo und wir waren begeistert. Trotz das es von den 7 Tagen 5 Tage geregnet hat. Das Beste auf der Insel ist das Riff. Wir waren täglich schnorcheln und konnten Haie, Rochen und Fische in verschiedensten Farben und Größen sehen. Unser besonderer Dank gilt Alamin für den hervorragenden Zimmerservice und Muaz im Buffetrestaurant, der immer ein Lächeln auf den Lippen hat. Danke dafür! Das Essen ist abwechslungsreich und sehr lecker. Wir nahmen am ersten Tag an einem Weintasting am Strand bei Sonnenuntergang teil. Unsere Wasservilla war unser Highlight und sorgte für Privatsphäre und absolute Ruhe.

Seit 20 Jahren besuchen wir unsere kleine Insel. Im Laufe der Jahre gab es viele Veränderungen. Das Personal ist , egal in welcher Abteilung immer nett, freundlich und zuvorkommend. Besonders unser Zimmerboy Billal war super fleißig. Am Meisten haben wir uns gefreut, als er unser Bett wunderschön mit Blüten dekorierte. Auch unser Kellner Azmoon sorgte zu jedem Essen für einen freien Platz. ( Ihn kannten wir noch von unserem letzten Urlaub 2023) Die Massagen sind zugegeben sehr preisintensiv, aber man sollte sich wenigstens Eine gönnen. Die sind Mega!!!! Egal, ob bei Atik, Surat,Sella oderRatih… Bei Allen schmilzt man dahin. Schnorcheln und Tauchen ist traumhaft, denn es ist mit das beste Hausriff auf den Malediven. Wer allerdings Angst vor Haien hat, sollte es lieber lassen, denn davon gibt es hier reichlich.Schade für uns mit anzusehen, daß es immer wieder seit Jahren Touristen gibt, die immer wieder mit ihren Schuhen und Flossen die Korallen zertrampeln, die Jahre zum wachsen brauchen. Wenn sie mit Flossen nicht umgehen können, sollten sie lieber im Pool bleiben. Das Essen ist immer wieder eine Augenweide und sehr abwechslungsreich. Mir persönlich war es diesmal sehr scharf. Was der Chili nicht geschafft hat, wurde mit Pfeffer ausgeglichen. ( Also für einen empfindlichen Magen nicht vorteilhaft) Ansonsten war es traumhaft! Ellaidhoo ist unser Paradies für eine absolute Auszeit. Eine naturbelassene Schönheit, die hoffentlich immer so bleibt. Bis bald!
2023 Zimmer 314 ( komplett voll Sand hinter der Mauer)
2025 Zimmer 314 ( Sand fast weg)
Bei Flut wird die Innenmauer komplett überspült. Sehr beeindruckend, wie die Mauer immer wieder repariert wird.
Es muss dringend mal wieder was gemacht werden, weil sonst die wunderschönen Palmen umfallen, die noch dahinter stehen.

The island is breathtaking. I stayed in an overwater bungalow and it was absolute perfection. Very clean, verrry comfortable. I recommend the buffet over the restaurant. The restaurant meals were very hit or miss. Some of the service was excellent, others seem miserable and distracted. Saad at the dive school is a fantastic teacher for those who are first timers to snorkeling. If youre a smoker, bring your own cigarettes as a pack is $35 at the bar. If your a non-smoker, be aware that people smoke in pretty much all public spaces. My suggestion would be to bring USD and tip great servers, concierge and bartenders well ($20) early in your stay - it will elevate your experience 100%. They will go out of their way to make your stay the most comfortable.

This is the second time I have stayed at this Hotel. The reef is amazing lots of sea life, sharks, fish, rays and the odd turtle. Island is really small you can walk round in about 15 minutes. Spa is good we had a couple of massages and were really relaxing. Food was good Tip - laundry service great $54 for unlimited washing would definately recommend Would not recommend speedboat transfer too choppy - seaplane is so much better.

The resort is excellent for snorkelling. A short swim through the shallow sandy water to a rich variety of coral and fish. It’s like being in an aquarium. We were able to snorkel around the entire island over our stay. The resort itself was good value for the cost. Not super fancy nor do you get the personal touch like you get at other resorts in the Maldives but still good overall. The room was modern and always clean. Overall, a good resort to stay at and I would go back.

Überaus freundliches Personal, von Kellner, Barkeeper über Zimmerpersonal, Poolattendent bis hin zu den Arbeitern, die täglich fleißig reparieren, renovieren, verschönern und die Insel in Schuss halten - die alle haben immer einen freundlichen Gruß parat, oder plaudern ein passt Worte! Ein Hausriff als Schnorchelparadies, mit allem was man auf dem Malediven gesehen haben muss: Haie, Rochen, Schildkröten und alle bunten Fischen im Übermaß! Durch die kleine Größe der Insel, die Rund und die Freundlichkeit entwickelt sich eine ganz besondere, persönlich angenehme Atmosphäre. Das Internet war diesmal schlechter als bei unseren vorigen Besuchen, aber das wurde gerade renoviert - wahrscheinlich war das der Grund für so manchen Ausfall. Mit der Anreise muss man sich allerdings etwas überlegen: zwar hatten wir Glück und unser Wasserflugzeug ist kurz nach unserer Ankunft am Flughafen in Malé angeflogen, hat aber einen Umweg zu einer anderen Insel gemacht und der Flug dauerte dadurch 2,5 Stunden - normale, direkte Flugzeit ist 15-20 Minuten. Beim Rückflug das Gleiche! Wir überlegen ob wir das nächste mal nicht wieder ein Speedboot nehmen, dass zwar sicherlich zwischen 50 und 70 Minuten benötigt, je nach Wind und Wetter! Alles in allem aber ein super Urlaub mit besten Preis/Leistungs-Verhältnis!
