Hotéis perto de Himmafushi, Himmafushi

Stayed beginning of June 2023. Place is new, clean and staffs are all wonderful. We were two surfer girls from US and happy we chose this place. Pros: You ARE on the island where you can walk to ‘Jail Break’ Staffs can give you a ride if they have time. (Check the tide since entry to this point is tricky with corals. You might consider bringing booties). We chose the smallest room with two beds to share our luggages made it little hard to walk around but room has small fridge, bathroom with shower and rack to hang staff. Bikini beach, where you are allowed to expose your skin, is just a steps away if you want to chill. Hotel staffs will go and beyond to help arrange the boat to surf spots and other activities. Oevaru, even though this restaurant is NOT part of the hotel, it’s right next door. FBH has just opened it’s own restaurant for hotel guest around the corner where we had a nice breakfast. Wifi worked good throughout our stay. This is NOT a resort you think of Maldive. This is the ‘Guest House’ so don’t expect breakfast buffets or anything fancy. They’ll provide basic needs. They may fix your sheets but they won’t be washed unless you ask for it. Cons: (Place is new and they are working on improving it for surfers.) They don’t really have a surfboard rack outside. You have to leave your board at lobby or bring up to your room in small stairs. Hot water shower may take 10-15min of running water and not much pressure(local small island with minimal infrastructure). Place has a common area to sit down/eat on 4th floor but it’s too hot to hang out during the summer time. Himmafushi island has no resort, Only three restaurants on the island that were open when we were there had same menus and it’s hard to find vegetables/fruits since they must import food from somewhere. You are expected to cover your skin and no alcohol are allowed on this island. If you want those western cultures you may find to stay in ‘Resort’ or have a day trip to ‘Resort’.

The hotel for price quality ratio was good. Had a slight problem with the air conditioner but they resolved it/replaced it. Breakfast was pretty good but some of the food was too spicy for the customers at the hotel. Drinks for also expensive and I was just on half board so I didn't have any. The staff goes out of their way to be helpful and I had a pleasurable experience. Be warned this hotel has a very dead reef. You can see fish but no reef. One side of the island is not swimmable. I paid $123 for a ocean view room with half board. Drinking water is free and plentiful. Make sure you get half bored because the buffet dinner is 60 US dollars.

This was a surprise trip for my husband's 50th birthday and we were travelling with my Son Esa aged 8. Once we got to our resort we were greeted and welcomed by Amine and the team. Amine was very welcoming and took us on a buggy around the resort to show us around and escort us to our room. Amine went out his way daily to stay in touch via WhatsApp and kept us updated about all the activities taking place daily. Our room was amazing and we had been upgraded to a beach pool villa:-). The bed was decorated and a welcome card/fruits were placed in our room. The boy's were so excited regarding the private pool. Our resort was amazing and had alot to offer. This resort in particular had a kids club hence why I chose this resort. Guest Relations were amazing and accommodating . Grace also from Guest Relations was very welcoming and came to see us. The restaurant /food was pretty good and had lots of choice. Esa being a child wanted his normal chips/burger or nuggets and was offered this separately which was great. All the restaurant staff was amazing especially Shafiq, Shauka and the team. They all went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and happy. Shafiq had his way of taking care of families and even bringing the yummy special desserts to our table. He would always accommodate us to the best table/view too. Shauka was the head operations manager for all the restaurants and I promise you he was always hands on and ready to serve you in whatever you wanted to eat. He would always go out his way for us especially for my son Esa. Even on the last morning we was leaving he made Esa his favourite waffles :-). Our last dinner was arranged privately by Mr Ejaz (Hotel manager) and Shauka so we can celebrate my husband's 50th. A beautiful table was set on the stilts restaurant with a cake and Shauka personally came to serve us with all the different foods we wanted to eat:-). Absolutely amazing he was. Esa really misses everyone especially Shauka. We had an amazing stay and experience at Villa Nautica. We have already said that we will surely be coming back again and recommending to our family/friends. Small comment regarding the ice cream served at meal times in the restaurant- it was not nice/very poor quality. It was like some powdered ice cream mixed.

The second time I went, the first time my son was only five years old, I was very reluctant when I came back this time, the environment is very good, the service is also good, especially thanks to the service staff in the main restaurant, and the warm than, always warm and careful welcome us. The only suggestion is to train the Chinese staff well. I met two on the island. One is that I never see each other except when I go to the island. Well, this is kind of disappointing. The service of the two Four Seasons Islands in Maldives has always made people feel very comfortable and considerate. This time, especially the Chinese staff gave me the feeling that the training was rushed? Non-motorized water activities: kayaking and subboat are very fun, because there are breakwaters, snorkeling is very safe and friendly to children The kidsclub has a lot of activities, especially for children under the age of five, it’s so fun, older friends can do some crafts and eat Restaurant: The taste is good, but it’s a pity that the Chinese food is not as authentic and delicious as before, but after the epidemic, there is no way

Good and delicious breakfasts. They have two tiles: local and continental. So friendly and helpful staff, everything was so cozy.

I would like to share your experience of visiting this hotel. Once we arrived in Maldives, our luggage was lost, the hotel owners made their best efforts and found our luggage. The hotel is very cozy, very delicious food, a chic beach on which baggage is taken. Better attitude to the visitor than anywhere, help everything and perform any of your capriz. Every few days have arranged a barbecue, went fishing. It was free. It was great, you feel very comfortable and good. I want to thank the hotel owners again for all they have done for us . You are wonderful people. I would like to share my experience of visiting this hotel. As soon as we arrived in the Maldives, our luggage was lost, the owners of the hotel made every effort and found our luggage. The hotel is very cozy, very tasty food, a gorgeous beach, where they carry bugs. The best attitude to the visitor than anywhere else, they help in everything and fulfill your every whim. Every few days they had a barbecue, went fishing. It was free. It was very cool, you feel very comfortable and good. Once again I want to thank the owners of the hotel for everything they did for us. You are wonderful people.

Property itself is very good – with great and helpful owner Shameer and all the staff. Rooms are clean, beach towels and water always available, they serve good breakfast and can cook a good lunch. Once Shameer went snorkeling with me to show a non-obvious snorkeling place near the island. He was kind to help me printing and scanning the papers I needed to send home. On the downside - window was facing the wall in a meter distance (unfortunately not uncommon problem of Maldivian guesthouses and hotels), there were. no soundproofing with the adjoining room - sounds like the neighbors are in your room. Location-wise - hostel used to be on the beach, but now - after the extension of the island - near the huge wasteland that used to be the ocean. The worst thing about our stay was the island. It is by far the least interesting of 11 Maldivian local island we have visited: nothing to see, nothing to do, unless going somewhere by the boat, small bikini beach with a very shallow water, no house reef except for some 0,5 meter deep little coral field where you can snorkel during the high tide without getting coral cuts, only one ok restaurant - in a word, no vibe, no attractions. If I’d visit only this island I would have terribly wrong impression from Maldives.

I want to experience life on a residential island so I chose to stay in this hotel for two nights. Advantages of this hotel: 1. The bed is comfortable 2. Larger bathroom 3. There are many options for water projects provided by third parties, and the price is moderate 4. There is a nice beach, the room is very close to the beach 5. The hotel’s spa is good and worth a try. The Indonesian aroma therapist is very good and the price is reasonable ($99 twice) 6. The hotel service staff are honest and willing to help, they are all very nice Disadvantages: 1. Huraa Island, where the hotel is located, has poor infrastructure, and the sandy and muddy road has not been repaired 2. The owner of the hotel doesn't look very friendly, maybe because he thinks Chinese guests can't speak English? Anyway I feel uncomfortable 3. The hotel's email response speed is very slow, and the information in the response is also wrong. Fortunately, nothing went wrong. We chose to go to Male’ to take the Legion Ferry to the island 4. As described by some European and American guests on Booking.com, the food provided by this hotel is really out of standard, at most the standard of our domestic three-star hotels, and the selection of ingredients is not fresh enough and has no characteristics. Of course, I can understand the cost of transporting ingredients to the island. The choice of other local restaurants on the island is also very limited. In short, if the budget is sufficient, it is recommended to add some money to Wuxingdao, after all, they have already come to the Maldives.
