The owners of this small accommodation are very friendly and helpful. The days were filled with various little surprises. While many resorts may be lavish and expensive, Mandhoo Island offers an original experience of Maldivian life! Highly recommend to anyone looking for something authentic and unique.

breakfast, dinner options were exceptional apart from the atoll restaurant buffet on the sunday evening which was v. poor

i liked everything. very nice staff, they really try to make your stay as comfortabe as it can get. Island mandhoo is in its very early stages of tourism so if you want to see some really nice and wild beaches that's the place to go, also island life is very different from others i have been on. Almost every single person smiles, says hi and ask u how u are. The only minus for me on this island is that there is no scuba diving center yet, but the owner of infinite Lagoon is already planing to open one in close future. so if you want to do some scuba diving contact the property before you go. if you're freediver or just normal snorkeler, they do offer some snorkling trips (whale shark, manta ray, snorkeling in some specific spots,...) or just snorkel around the island. overall nice stay, looking forward to go there again.

- The alpha & omega of this resort is the staff. So friendly, smiling and willing staff I haven't experienced yet! From the cleaning service to the restaurant staff to the reception - all of them are very helpful and you have felt that they are only for you there! A huge praise for the personal manager who is in charge of this. - You often feel like the island is just for you. Great privacy. This is perfect for INTROVERTS. - Resort was very clean including beaches. - The village walk tour outside the resort was amazing and strongly recommend to you if you want to see how the local people live! Big thank to the Zee (If I remember correctly the name) from reception for a guide.

He view, the rooms, the staff, the activities actually everything!

Perfect barefoot luxury. Fabulous balance of authentic Italian food (with Italian chefs) and local Maldivian fish. Diving was world class

It was the most relaxing and hospitable stay I've ever had! Staff is super friendly and caring. Food was delicious and various, especially we loved the deserts! Hotel is very silent, clean and peaceful. Good snorkeling area - lots of corals, fish, baby sharks, we even saw a slope! Tried the massage – god, it was amazing! Highly recommend this place for couples! One minor comment is that there were not enough tubes and flippers for snorkeling, so we had to wait to get ours.

Everything is great! Best in maldives. The warm hospitality and the food.

We just came back from this resort and are already planning our next vacation at the same place. We stayed for two weeks in a standard beach villa and liked everything, the most important for us being the house reef. The house reef: simply outstanding, daily encounters with the sharks, turtles, whole families of the eagle rays, porcupine and boxfish, moray eels and so on. We enjoyed snorkeling at least twice a day and were never disappointed. The food : simple but good, with Italian influence. One could find pizzas and pasta at a daily basis (pasta with speck and safran sauce is my favorite). Every day the resort changes the theme of the diner, my favorite being Maldivian, we had it twice during our stay. Live barbecue with meat and fish, live naan station (just excellent) as well as other dishes from all around the world. We also booked the lobster dinner, while being a bit too expensive, it was one of the best we had so far. The Chef prepared an excellent lemon butter sauce that was just perfect for the lobster, highlighting its delicate taste. Thanks to the General manager Jaco we also had one diner at the a la carte water villa restaurant, we liked a lot the romantic setting, lounge music, service and of course the food. The excursions: we went on a whale shark excursion and were lucky to see two different of them. In our sixth’s time in Maldives it was the first encounter, what a beautiful experience ! We also went on the night sharks snorkeling and had seen at least 30 friendly nurse sharks of different size, it was impressive and beautiful. Finally, we went on manta safari and unfortunately haven’t seen any, but we will try again the next year. The resort also organizes the house reef snorkeling excursions twice a day (free of charge) with the marine’s biologists. If you are not a confident swimmer and/or would like to know better the marine’s life, I highly recommend to give it a try. The shop: I loved this shop.

Everything was beyond expectation and the team was fantastic to meet or exceed each request.
