Friendly and as expected. I had a long stay here which is not usual. Most people overnight and fly somewhere the next day. I had an ocean view room with a balcony. There's this one way film on the window which helps decease how bright the sun is and I could never been certain if outside can see in when the lights are on. I saw a few reviews complain about the bathroom. It's a water closet. Familiarize with what it is before complaining. Everything was adequate but the place could use a cleaning and freshening up. There was no kettle or hair dryer. There was a safe. The wardrobe had maybe three hangers. What was really nice about the place was the friendly service. A new family took over the management so there's some experience to be had, but otherwise they try to help you as much as possible. There were some weird things with my online booking but they resolved it and saved me some money. I was also offered an extremely late check out because my flight was at night. The location is also very close to everything you would want to walk to. Grocery stores, post office, and restaurants. I would stay here again. . .

ok for an overnight stay. pick up from the airport was good. Staff were helpful. The hotel is literally facing the beach across a very small road. Breakfast was fine. The view from our room was great and we had a little balcony too, overlooking the tree lined beach.. As other reviewers have noted, our room was a little tired and threadbare in places. It was fine for an overnight stay. Compared to our other hulhumale hotel experience, this one is a little expensive for what it offers. With some new linen it would be fine..

Good. We got a free room upgrade, the view was really cool! (In the picture below) The location is great, beachfront, with plenty of cafes and shops nearby. The room had everything we needed: a hairdryer, towels, soap, tissues, a kettle, a safe, a wardrobe with hangers etc The breakfast was included in the price, the food was nice.. The bathroom was old, there was no bathmat or extra towel to put on the floor. It was quite noisy and we could hear people talk in the hallway..

Best Hotel in hulhumale for long stay. 👍👍👍👍. This is the best hotel in hulhumale. We stayed at the top floor with the fabulous sea view and the rooms were top notch. Everything works and clean. Best price. Plenty of things to see around and good restaurants. I want to thank especially Mr. Naseer for the great hospitality from check in to check out and also the team who were were kind and told us lots of things that we could in maldives. 10 out 10.👍👍👍👍👍. We stayed at the penthouse room for nearly two weeks and i cannot thank enough the service and support we were given. I would highly recommend Ripple Beach Inn.. .

Look elsewhere…. I was looking specifically for a beach front hotel on Hulhumale island. I selected this hotel based on price, room size and because it was a penthouse suite with a sea view balcony. Let’s start with the not-so-good things. It is really a boutique hotel/guesthouse, which is probably similar to most accommodations along this stretch of the island as we discovered. It doesn’t have a lift, and the stairs were very narrow, which, again is probably similar to other establishments in the area. The penthouse was on the top floor, which is kind of converted from an attic, so the headroom is low at some parts of the room. We requested for an insecticide spray after we checked into the room as there were some mosquitoes. Upon spraying the insecticide at the corners of the room and under the furniture, it forced several cockroaches out and I had to deal with them. The shower is one of the areas with low headroom, resulting in the shower head being installed at a height of about 3 feet. This made taking a shower standing upright very difficult and often times you’d have to squat or kneel. The balcony also had a low roof so there’s very limited space for you to stand and admire the sea view, add to that some dilapidated wooden rails, it didn’t entice one to spend more time out on the balcony. Breakfast was provided but we were served the exact same food, consisting of toast, omelette and sausage, every morning throughout our stay. Now for the good things, though I’m hard-pressed to find many to write about. It is conveniently located, with many convenient stores, shops and good restaurants around the area within walking distance. The beach is just right in front of the hotel so it’s easy to walk across the road and have a dip in the sea. The hotel staff were helpful and organized a snorkeling excursion for us which was enjoyable. Having said all that, I would imagine the same qualities can be said of the dozens other hotels in the same area or along the same stretch of the beach. All in all, I wouldn’t say it was a dreadful stay, but for the price I expected somewhat of a more comfortable and accommodating room. Then again, I might be wrong as that may be the going rate for such a 3-star accommodation in the area and you’d have to pay considerably more to have a better hotel.. .

Good option for a short stay. We had a room right at the top which had a small balcony overlooking the beach with great sea views. The location was good and much more relaxed than staying in the centre of Male. There are plenty of places to eat nearby & it’s walking distance to a supermarket. The pick-up from the airport went smoothly.. The room was a bit tired but had plenty of space and was fine for 1 night before we went to one of the islands..
