My parents and I found Aline through a Maldivian fishing trip company. Rasdhoo Stay has both Chinese and local Maldivians staff. Gante and Sabile helped me to improve my free diving skills! 🐬 shukuriyyaa🙏🏽 My parents are senior citizens. Aline and her husband made sure to have enough staff on every excursion we participated so my parents would feel safe while having a blast snorkeling with nurse sharks, turtles, manta rays. My dad had a fantastic experience sea fishing for the first time as well. Aline and her husband went above and beyond to help us create a fun, loving and meaningful family vacation. The rooms were basic but clean and had all the essentials. The restaurant had an…

Stay… away! We stayed here in February 2024 for two weeks. We have got fooled by the good reviews and nice photos but it’s not like that anymore. As we arrived at the ferry terminal nobody was there to pick us up. Someone else took us to the hotel and nobody knew we are coming and there was no room for us. We had to wait 2,5 hours to get a room in a completely different building more far away from the bikini beach. The room was in a bad shape (ants everywhere, no warm water, stains on the curtains, no working fridge, we couldn’t lock the door,…) For breakfast we had to walk every day to the original Rasdhoo stay building which was kind of annoying. The place itself looks nothing like in…
Worse place to do any activities in Rasdhoo. Terrible organisation… the staff will lie if necessary to sell you an overpriced tour and then send you to another company to do the activity. They only care about your money, even over safety… That is how one of they costumers died doing snorkel as they didn’t want to provide life jackets. Just stay away from them if you want a nice experience in this island
