Totally disappointed!
I have to say the islands is beautiful with white sand, blue water, and some nice fishes with a few corals but he greeting and staying with accommodations were bad.
We met the greeter at the airport after we looked for the sign of our guesthouse a long time, so we were late for speedboat. We had to wait at Male for more than 5 hrs. Then we got on speedboat to the islands by ourself because a different helper guy didnt show up.
The room was clean. The bathroom was little small. The AC was making big noise sometimes when turned on. There was no ocean view at all. The islands is very small so everyone walked. That was fun. There were 3 restaurants but nothing was really available. The food at those restaurants were below average. I asked Imad (manager, owner) for a home made lunch tthe day before we left, but nothing happened. Wifi was available but was weak. It was only ok for loading info but not for playing anything. There was a kitchen at the property with a kettle, a few bowls and forks. No washer. Watch out for ants.
We had to go to a resort afterward with an estimate of under $60 for transfering from Imad before we booked his guesthouse. We ended up paying $400 more for that. But his speedboat left us at different end of the pickup of the resort. We ended up had to wait another 2 hours at the jetty. The excursions here were as expensive as the resort. It could be more if we didnt bargain.
Overall, the owner talked a lot but didnt deliever much. A 2 days staying would be be good to explore the islands and snorkling. No rental snorkel gears nor diving nor life vest. Bring some instant noodle bags with you if staying here. There were a couple of other guesthouses on the islands but we cant say because we didnt stay there
