The best part of my stay was meeting MARTINA. She has been a great support since the day I booked the hotel and throughout my trip. She was very welcoming and is an amazing host. I had the best time staying at the Sands Exotic. The hotel was so pretty, well managed and well equipped with all necessary amenities, and the rooms were very tidy. The food was next super delicious. Martina was exceptional and the hotel staff were very friendly and respectful. Martina made sure that I have the best time at Thulusdhoo and I honestly had a blast. It was definitely the best travel experience I ever had, all thanks to MARTINA! I definitely recommend this place to stay and without any doubt, you will…

It was one of my memorable trip with my friends. Must place for who love sea and adventures. I should specially mention about our stay at Sands Exotic Hotel. The rooms are so neat and clean. Staff was so welcoming. And the resort manager Ms Martina and her team was so welcoming and they are so professional. Martina taken us for Snorkeling and other sports activities . We enjoyed at its core. I should say the price we paid is nothing when we compared with the experience we had at this place. So superb. We highly recommending this place. ❤️❤️
Visited this place last year. Our host, Martina, was incredible. She took care of everything for us with utmost professionalism and ensured that we had the best possible stay and had anything we needed delivered in a day. Her Mandela workshop also helped my girlfriend make a souvenir which I cherish to this day. Martina's partners were also incredible down-to-earth people. Taki still has a special place in my heart and I'll never forget Kevin as the guy who taught me how to surf.
