Best place in the Maldives. We had a amazing stay with Tholal. Nice room, very well equiped kitchen and beach equipment available for free. But the best thing was the whale shark trip. The owner has a very speedy boat an is an expert spotter. Our best experiencein the Maledives ! And rhe owner made a great video for us and also lended us his camera.. All was great..

Get ready! -Jump!!. Indeed, we were very lucky to stay in Dhangethi INN. Hospitality of Ahmed exceeded all our expectations! The room is clean and spacious( AC, kettle), common area is very cozy. There is a nice small corner shop 1 min walk. We alternated two cafés nearby for lunch and dinner.( Compass and Blue Moon). But the true highlight of the stay is ocean trips with Ahmed! You will bring back home a lot of valuable memories to treasure. We met turtles, mantas and a whale shark! Ahmed does his best to find the creatures and to film the best possible videos for his guests! Going to a night snork is highly recommended as well, very exciting! If you visit Maldives for the first time, there is no better place to stay. A place for nature lovers! PS we had our own masks and fins, however Ahmed has some to lend as well.. .

Unforgettable experience. The excursions were amazing, Tholal made some beautiful videos and sent them to us for free, he gave to us for free the excursion to the sandbank and some souvenirs. He is very good at finding manta rays and whale sharks and works really hard for his guests, with passion and dedication.. The room is basic and nice, but it could use a little more care, it still has a good quality-price ratio and if you don't care much about the accommodation and you only use it to sleep and you are more interested in excursions it could be fine..

It was great, the location was lovely and. Appreciate owner for guiding around, arranging for tours even though it was during Ramadan period for solo travellor Really experienced in spotting animals in the wild and able to make the most out of tours - saw the manta ray, didn’t manage to spot the whale shark but owner gave time for snorkelling and even spotted some dolphins and turtles along the way..

Exceptional host and guide, spacious room and facilities, best of the best activities with Ahmed Tholal. No surprises, everything was exactly as described, and as shown in the photos.. More of a wish than something I didn’t like - the bathroom could have a ceiling fan inside. :).

Exceptional. Tholal is the best host we’ve ever had. From the moment he welcomes you to the farewell he provides 5 star service. The hotel has everything you need - kitchen, unlimited supply of bottled water, snacks, coffee, tea and breakfast cereals. There is a washing machine with detergent at your disposal. His excursions are one of a kind - he takes you with his boat to see whale sharks, mantas, turtles, dolphins and many more. He is a great free diver and he will also shoot and sent it to you afterwards. The breakfast is in the nearby cafe - The blue moon cafe. There you can try the amazing maldivian breakfast- we really liked the Disk Mashuni and had it every day. Additionally, you have discount in the cafe for all the other meals - just say that you’re staying in Dhangethi Inn. We’ll definitely return one day.. .

It was OK!. We liked everything from the very beginning, from the moment we met until we left. Akhmed is a very attentive and caring host. Our plane was delayed and we did not have time to catch the speedboat. Akhmed was constantly in touch and agreed speedboat on another time. After an hour and a half ride by speedboat, we were met by Akhmed on Dhangethi Island. When we met, he gave us a branded T-shirt and a coconut. We liked the hotel, a cozy room, everything was there, the air conditioning was silent. The hotel is located in the center, close to grocery and souvenir shops. The hotel has a kitchen, you can cook food, there is free water, tea, coffee, cakes and a veranda on which you can sit and eat. Excursions with Ahmed are a separate issue. He is a great expert in this matter. The next day we went on a manta ray excursion and swam with them, it was amazing. Akhmed films everything with his camera and then provides the video and photos for free. The next day he took us on a whale shark tour and we swam with it. My wife didn’t have time to swim after the whale shark, so Akhmed put her on his boat, they caught up with the whale shark, jumped into the water, he took her hand and literally took her to the whale shark. That was great! There were also excursions to the sand bank and snorkeling. In general, the week on the island flew by very quickly. As a farewell, Akhmed gave us more souvenir magnets. There is a lot more to tell, but we invite you to come and see everything for yourself. Thanks to Akhmed. We'll definetely come back. P.S. We ate at the Compass restaurant, stingrays swim there in the evening, you can feed them, and my wife constantly fed them and pet them. Super!. Everything was ok!.

Dhangethi a hidden gem!. Amazing host! We stayed here for 5 nights as a family, 2 adults and 2 kids. Location right in the small town and close to the jetty and restaurants. We went out on the owers boat 3 times to a sandbank and various snorkel spots and swam with an abundance of marine life! It was amazing! The accommodation had everything we needed, there was a washing machine, common area kitchen and sitting area. Therecare also snorkels, fins and life vests for guests to use. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!!. Nothing!!.

Confort stay with incredible excursions and memories. The host was taking care of us on each moment, from arrival to last goodbye from the boat leaving the island Clean, well equipped, perfect location from restaurants and bikini beach, Special + is the excursions with Ahmed and his friend and his ability to capture the magical moments with his camera underwater. .

it is definitely not a place for party hard, rest is awesome! reefs, snorkeling, etc. perfect!. Ahmed - the owner of the place is the best overall. The place has a good location, 2 minutes away from the beach and the deck. It is 10 min away from the bikini beach where there is no dress code for the tourists. Also very close to the restaurants and cafes. It is what it is with the money you pay, price/performance ratio is very good overall. The beds were quite uncomfortable but the new ones were on the way as Ahmed said so. I think, when the new beds arrive, the p/p ratio can go higher. :) Aside from above, the real deal is the owner Ahmed. He is quite experienced with the tours he organize and therefore I highly recommend you to go out for snorkeling, whales shark, manta, etc. tours with him. He always kept his eyes on us and the reefs where he took us were really amazing. Also, locating the boat downstream with the help of his buddy was a smart move. with that, we did not spend too much effort and easily go downstream with the current during snorkeling.. -beds in the room was a real pain in the back! :) but Ahmed already ordered new ones, so probably they might have been already set in the rooms -nobody says but there is no alcohol on the island. this is fine for me because my focus had been on or inside the sea but this may effects some people's holiday.. better to know in advance -there is a Dresscode on the island which indicated by brouchers, etc. in the rooms, but I did not see any pressure and/or strict commitment to this rule. Nevertheless its better to know this in advance. personally we did not encounter with any misbehavior regarding our dressing but also we paid attention and tried to be respectful for locals..
