Cosa dicono gli ospiti
85-90MVR (roughly 6USD) a taxi (3 persons 3 bags) from Male Jetty to this hotel at Hulhumale. Every extra person would cost extra 5MVR and extra bag extra 5MVR. Hotel staff friendly & thoughtful. Rooms are good. clean & large enough. beds are comfortable. Bathroom is great, with hot shower. Ocean in front of hotel. Place is not noisy despite being in front of ocean. Lots of cafes & shops nearby. 5 minute walk to Centro Mall where Manhattan Fish Market is located. Can easily get taxis from the main road two blocks away from hotel. A taxi from here to Velana international airport is 90MVR.

Room was clean the staff/owners were very friendly and it was in an area easy to walk for restaurants cafes etc and had a nice view of the beach. They carried our bags to and from our room. We had room service dinner from there the first night and it was really good. Booked the additional charge airport pick up. He was on time car clean and the driver lovely. I would have given a 10 but for the fact there isn't a swimming pool when they advertise that they have one. It's false advertising should be removed immediately.

My friends and I enjoyed our one-night stay at Planktons Beach—it provided the essentials we were looking for. We had requested two single beds and one large double, and since the room originally had only one large and one single, the staff promptly added an extra bed, which we truly appreciated. The staff was friendly and always ready to assist. We had our meals on a shared balcony right outside our room and were pleased with the variety of vegan options available. There was no elevator, but the staff kindly helped us with our luggage. They also organized our transfer to the airport which made our departure smooth and comfortable.

The room and bathroom was spotless. Nice size. Nice breakfast. Staff was kind enough to prepare early breakfast for early departure.

The staff were amazing! All of them! They arranged our day trips and even our transfers, anything we needed we got it. The breakfast was lovely! Got up every morning to smiles and a lovely greeting. People have written that this is a good layover for transfer to the islands, but I agree but also disagree! We stayed 6 nights and had lots of shops and the beach and also restaurants right on our doorstep. You go to the maldives and think that you need to go to an island, but you are not seeing the real lives and culture of the maldavians.

The location was wonderful. We had the beach right at the front door, and there was ample amount of eating places down the road from the hotel. We organised a taxi service with the hotel which came swiftly, looking after our luggage, looking after us and the driver was super friendly. The Hotel itself was nicely done up and very clean. They gave us an upgrade on our room. We now have a double room with ocean view. It's on the top floor with a large terrace. And they surprised us with a honeymoon bed decoration. The room itself was nice a size, and we liked the bathroom. The water pressure was high, we got good hot water for our shower, the toilet was strong and the sink was nicely decorated. We correspond with the staff member to book our excursions. They helped with choosing which excursion is better, value for money. They organised it for us, in terms of booking, payment & refund and taxi services. They even informed us if the excursions are cancelled due to weather - which we absolutely love as it shows they prioritise safety over money/business.

The best option for transit passengers, which we were! The room is very clean, it has everything you need, good air conditioning, hot water, comfortable beds. The sea and the beach club are across the street. The hotel has a wonderful staff member with good english. You can order food and have dinner in the room, on the shared balcony or downstairs in front of the hotel. We slept in absolute silence (it's very important for us). We left early in the morning. Mr. Sokhel put a delicious!!! lunch box for us for breakfast and called a taxi at a minimum cost. We had a great break between flights. Thank you very much!!!!

Everything was amazing. The location next to the Hulhumale beach and close to the airport (10 min drive). The host was so welcoming and friendly, we got an upgrade for the room with a view. It was really clean and beautiful designed in the room. Drinking water and coffee provided in the room. Tasty breakfast with different options to choose. Definitely recommend for the stay!

We stayed at this hotel last year. We love the location, staff are fabulous and very friendly, rooms always clean, cool and comfortable. The beach is right across the street and there is plenty of cafe choices surrounding the hotel if you want to eat out.

Our host was very friendly and helpful, he prepared us breakfast boxes as we left the hotel at 6am and helped us getting into the taxi under a heavy rain, the location is convenient few minutes from the airport and in front of a public beach, many restaurants and supermarkets are at walking distance
