What an amazing property - the rooms were amazing the breakfasts delicious the beach superb and the service - impeccable. This is such a better option than going for the resorts it’s wonderful staying on a local island - this is my 5th trip to Maldives and I’ll only do local islands and this is definitely one of the top properties on a local island. The jet boat transfer was affordable and timed well.

We had a short but excellent stay at Westsands. The staff were friendly and always accommodating not only with us but other guests. Musab, the hotel manager was in contact with us before out trip and answered all my questions about activities, currency, etc. The room was cleaned twice a day and had all the typical conveniences. There is a restaurant in the hotel and the service was great. They even did an afternoon ‘tea’ on the beach with local deserts and cuisine. The hotel was steps from the...

That was a fantastic vacation. This resort is amazing and the food is excellent. I do recommend booking all inclusive to enjoy the best restaurants and bars at max.

Maldives is an amazing location for a vacation, period. Gangehi resort was beautiful, with friendly staff, and such a peaceful environment to enjoy the astounding beauty of the beaches and marine life. You can walk out in the calm clear waters, so far that you can don't even have to swim to stick your face into the water and see coral (with a snorkel mask). We even saw little sharks and a mantaray swimming alongside the shore (about 1 ft deep water), in addition to all the colorful fish we saw....

This is the most beautiful place I have ever stayed! It is quiet and relaxed. The island is small so this is the only resort on it. You can walk around the island in 20 minutes. I loved how quiet this place was, and I didn’t see any kids there. In spite of its small size they had five restaurants serving different types of food. Some of the reef is damaged, but we still saw plenty of fish of varying sizes and colors! I would go back in a flash!

We researched extensively. Several spreadsheets and reviews of multiple sites. Our experience was the best. Not sure which adjective would summarize our experience the best. But the best. We’ve been to 50+ countries, and as Americans done many all inclusive trips to the Caribbean and Mexico. The Haleveli experience puts them all to shame. The staff was the most friendly and engaging (whereas we’ve didn’t speak to any other guests until our last day). The privacy you have is awesome. ...

This is a great property. Period. It is an island-hotel with 70 rooms only.
When I think about all-inclusives, I generally categorize them in 3 big groups:
1. Party all day. Adults only, fun and drinks happening all day long. Plenty of eating options.
2. Family oriented. Games, a lot of kids around. Many pools, eating options.
3. Quiet. Can be family or adults, but it means relaxing at the beach, food served at fixed ours, nobody really partying, most guests in bed well before...

If you are looking for an amazing beach adventure look no further than the W Maldives. From the moment of landing in the sea plane to the snorkeling and seeing amazing fish species to the amazing dining options, amazing room accommodations to the very caring staff; this is the perfect vacation location. I say book it as soon as possible. We are glad we did!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A true five-star experience—without the need for a luxury resort.
I searched high and low across the Maldives for a quiet, affordable, no-frills retreat where I could spend two weeks in peace. What I discovered at Belmar Beach was far more than I hoped for—it was a profoundly rich and unforgettable experience.
My room opened directly onto the beach, and every morning felt like magic. The staff, including Abdula and Mohamed, were endlessly kind and attentive, always ready to help...

The place is pretty nice, but what really makes it great is the staff. They were extremely friendly and accommodating. Very relaxed about things. Just a nice "at home" vibe
