Planktons Beach

All the staff here are extremely helpful and polite. The room was very clean with lovely fresh sheets and a large comfy bed. The bathroom appears to have been newly renovated, the shower was excellent and the air con worked really well. I ordered some noodles to eat on the terrace and they were delicious really tasty and well priced. The location is great in the middle of the island along the beach side. You can easily walk anywhere; supermarket, central park, restaurants, phase 2 bridges, the port. Remember there is no bikini beach on this island, local dress codes apply. I got a taxi to and from the airport and paid around £5 each way for a 10-15 min drive. Taxis are easily available on arrival at Male airport. Tip: I was led to believe that USD was the preferred currency but I think that's more on the resort islands as here in Hulhumale everywhere wanted MVR. You can change dollars to local currency in the hotel but they are extremely fussy about the condition ( not just the hotel but everywhere) also most places won't take any lower than the 10 dollar bill. Overall a great place to stay to experience a little bit of life on Hulhumale island.

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 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!!!!
