Hondaafushi Island Resort Hotel

Absolutely stunning 😍 beach was beautiful, bungalows huge and the outdoor shower was amazing. Air conditioning and fan kept room cool. Saw sharks, baby sharks, rays and lots of different fishies. Some saw turtles from the pier. One morning after a beautiful sunrise a pod of dolphins swam right past the rooms in the shallows. Food was indian orientated but delicious. I specially loved the banana/pineapple pancakes for breakfast, mixed salads at lunch and dinner and the puddings. There was a locely choice of fresh fruit at each meal time too. We never went hungry. Tv had basic channels but we never used it. Only went in pool twice as the sea was our favourite place to be. Bungalows walk straight out onto the most beautiful stretch of beach. We had 107 deluxe room with bath. Staff were amazing, so polite and helpful. Went on local island trip, fishing trip and snorkelling trip (saw 2 turtles and 2 sharks) and enjoyed it all. We saw where the turtles came up onto beach and walked around the island which is around 5k. Didn't hire bikes as way too hot. Didn't use diving either or spa. This was the perfect dream holiday. Take inflatables, cigarettes, spf and Mosquito spray. (All expensive in shop) i didn't get any bites myself, boyfriend got a few but he's a magnet for anything that bites. They do fumigate every evening around 6pm. Long trip to get here but as you arrive in Male, they take you to a lounge with free WiFi, food and air conditioning, help you check into domestic flight and look after you.
