We stayed for three nights and enjoyed our stay. The owner is a great man, always answered “yes” to all our requests. The island is quite walkable, but having a free bike option was nice. The room was clean and looked welcoming. The TV was off while we stayed, but its a good smart TV. WiFi worked well in the patio area, a bit slower in the room. Hot water was hot, shampoo and shower get were provided. The place adjusted to our culinary preferences and time schedule. Also they let us use the laundry machine for free. Free masks, breathing tubes, and fins were available. I recommend to bring your own full face mask though, I think, full face mask is the best to see the turtles on the sunset…

Resten Inn Hotel averages 4.3 out of 5 across 49 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
I couldn’t recommend it enough!! I changed my plans last minute and I contacted the property owner directly a few hours before arriving at Male airport. He replied to all my messages in seconds, arranged my speed boat from Male airport and came to pick me up from the port. The room is very nice and comfortable and has a nice garden. Very well located near the port and the bikini beach.
Humanity: 100/10 Beach: 9/10 Clean City: 10/10 Rooms: 5/10 Foods: Breakfast 2/10 (not good for our taste) Thoddoo is very beautiful island with very beautiful people. For lunch and dinner there is awesome close place: Foodland.
