We stayed in Maldives for 15 days on 6 different islands. The owners of this resort gave us the best experience we had on any island or hotel. They are attentive, kind, the place is lovely, and they make sure your stay is amazing. The owner once was a highly acclaimed manager at a 5 star resort (at least that's what he tells me). It shows. We felt like we were royalty and were given a 5-star experience at a guest house. Do yourself a favour and stay here.

Thoddoo Retreat averages 4.6 out of 5 across 52 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
Rooms are not fine, for the yard rooms it looks like they stopped renovation in the middle, that front rooms are very old and not that clean, friend got bit by bedbugs during last night there. Food is OK nothing fancy, we did not get any grilled fish just some fried rice or similar home food. Breakfast is either sausage with fried egg and toast or maldivian coconut tuna with roti pancakes.
