Loved our stay here! This retreat gave us all that we needed: a comfortable place to stay, food on the premises and a constant great communication with the staff. The food was our favorite part of the stay, Bazile is one top notch cook⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐! There were some issues that came up, like water (shower) and wifi but that was resolved shortly. Bring your own toiletries. Very grateful for this place and we had a good stay at the beautiful island of Dharavandhoo! Sept 2021

It was my own little paradise for a while. Amazing tours and we saw most of the marine life that were expected . They made my dream come true, swimming with teenage nursing sharks and half the varieties of dolphins in their own habitat . The resort is family friendly and everyone in the guest house takes very good care of you and treat you like family. Thank you Basheer, Thank you Thodi !! See you soon.
