The staff are incredibly friendly and couldn't do enough for us - they organised sun beds for us on the beach, lent us snorkel equipment and even let us shower in a spare room after we had checked out.

The only issue is the construction work next to the hotel (8.00-16.30 daily). Not a big issue for us. Very friendly staff and great service at the hotel (would recommend half/full board). Twice housekeeping per day is great! ##### Sjors Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hotel with loads of potential but few mistakes Rooms are beautifully decorated and spacious, however, I booked a superior room and got an interior room with views to a 1spm patio with all aircon engines. When asked for a change, they told me it was not available. Breakfast was basic but nice and tasty, as well as dinners. On check out I was asked by a gentleman to pay for the room and meals, yet everything was already paid for.. I did not mind, yet I found it very unprofessional. Sundbeds at 'bikini beach' are def a plus. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tayfun Jun 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### We will miss gulhi island ayala oceanview I think it is the best on the island, cleanliness, customer satisfaction and food, yes, all the food was very nice and it is a very nice restaurant. Breakfast is not very large but very satisfying, including croissants, lavash, pancakes and many more types of cakes. very extensive menu for lunch and dinner friendly staff and helpful. Rooms are cleaned twice a day :) and and very near bikini beach just 1 munite walking ,free sunbad and unberalla under remaining feet, clear water of maldives ##### Tayfun Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stuart Nov 15, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great hotel on a quiet island with wonderful beach We started our Maldives holiday with a visit to Guhli Island (small local fisherman idland) staying at Ayala. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we were looked after very well. The hotel is very nice on a very quiet island with a beautiful beach. We had free designated sun loungers in a prime spot on Bakini beach. We chose half board, but we found outselves drawn back for all other meals because the food was so good. We would love to go back and visit again one day. ##### Stuart Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JOHAN Dec 29, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities All good especially staff energy and aptitude.

If you are looking for a nice accomodation for a good price, I can just recommend. Staff very helpful, Hotel new and clean, food also very tasty. Next to hotel is these day a big construction, so they make some noise from 8:00-18:00 everyday but thats the only negative point. Dont hesitate and book early, that u get your room 🙂 ##### Oliver Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Rihan Dec 27, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Terrible We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights only but it felt like 2 weeks. The room was dirty and the view terrible. There are so much constructions going on around the island and its very limited things to do. Beach area was OK, but nothing special. Some of the staff members were really helpful, but others the opposite. We were given incorrectly information by the reception multiple times causing our plans to crash. There were huge insects in the room coming from the washroom. No warm water at the beginning, so staff had to fix it. The electricity dissapeared out of the blue(only in our room), so the staff had to fix it. ##### Rihan Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Justyna Apr 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Best holiday experience with child Hotel was the best you could imagine I was with my son, which is a fussy eater he love the food over there me to. Best restaurant on the Gulham is in Ayala. Big choice from burger to chicken tikka masala. All the staff was amazing, very helpful and kind. I had very good feel about that hotel. From the moment you book the room they looking after you till the moment they get you back to Airport. You can prearrange transportation from Male Airport for $25 per person paid at the hotel and contact through the WhatsApp. Very very clean hotel they do clean rooms twice a day. Thank you to the Francis from reception and the other young lady and lovely people in the restaurant and all the others which I don’t know the names but they make my stay very memorable. Ps the air condition works great as everything else in that hotel they even have premier league Chanel. Thank you very much ##### Justyna Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ASADUZ Feb 11, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Relaxing Island holiday Amazing experience! Gulhi is a beautiful small island and Ayala Ocean view is located beautifully just a minutes walk from the jetty. From connecting with us prior to our arrival to dropping us off at the airport and everything in between was well coordinate — the staff and management were absolutely the friendliest, supporting and most caring. This hotel opened up only a few months ago, the facility is clean, wi-fi is good and overall safe for single or group travelers. The bikini beach is only a minutes walk from the hotel and if you ask, the hotel will also give a free snorkeling gears. Also, if you need to get your PCR test done, there’s a hospital within the island, if you inform the hotel reception they will coordinate and help You get the test done. Gulhi is inhabited by laid back and welcoming locals. You can walk around the island uninterrupted. We would recommend Gulhi for solo, group or family travel. Overall this has been one of our best travel experiences so far. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/234D1FE2FFC3D75B7E47E2655853C84420CCB17D1644568112001.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F284A9FFDAA569D7066032A681898D554A368B311644568117391.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/BD395B60B33476603BFFBD1CC8859F3D002E1FDC1644568109636.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/FDD4B2A2E6EB27076DF100D9B3DEDA507794E28D1644568114125.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### ASADUZ Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 17, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Splendid and superb stay What can I say... it is a superb! From the services, cleanings, dedicated beach umbrellas closest to the sea, and of course the amazing food! We have stayed for 6 days including breakfast & dinner, but we were also coming back to have lunch here because the chef is awesome! Overall service charge was low, but all the staffs were friendly and very kind. Their SPA is almost the only one within nearby islands and they got amazing esthetitians as well. Extended excursions to watch dolphines, nurse shark, whale shark, sting gray, turtle were all successful - thanks to Iron from sandyheaven! Overall, we could also see their management on contingency was perfect. Once the toilet on groundfloor nearby restaurant was broken they started immediately repairement and guiding all guests not to have an impact from unpleasant smell. The manager of this hotel seems to have a mild but extraordinary leadership, and he takes care of the hygiene the most. The beach closeby is very friendly for family with kids, white sand beach with low tide before noon. All other guests are very friendly and you can easily make friends, too! It was splendid days in Ayala! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/DB09EC38AB0575D8568090DF858F53FC500152FC1660703420773.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Nike Feb 24, 2023 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities I was quite surprised by the positive reviews I read, but after staying at Ayala, I can confidently state that they are mostly paid/fake Pros: - Gulhi is not far from Male, quick to get to, speedboat service working fine - Beach is near the hotel - Sunbed/umbrellas available - Excursions Cons: - booked a room for 3, turned out to be a regular room for 2 with a cot near the bed. Rooms itself is very small, so making 3 people stay there is inhumane. Cot had no mattress on it, felt like sleeping on the floor - rooms get 'cleaned' twice a day, but they hardly replace sheets and provide fresh towels only once a week. They don't take out the used/dirty towels. Floor is not being cleaned - no robes, no slippers. Problems with hot water, very hard to regulate the temperature and water in the shower constantly and randomly goes from hot to cold. Hot water also smells unpleasant. TV in the room is basically useless: not set up, does not connect to internet - no variety in breakfast, always the same. Dinners differ, but overall food quality is average. Shortage of deserts and, especially, fruits, which is quite disappointing. - waiters seem to take care only of the big families staying in, they set up tables for them in advance and no one is allowed to use that area. Should be constantly reminded to proved basic stuff like tissues. Staff may also confuse you with false promises (eg. promised to provide robes, mattress, turned out to not have those) Wouldn't stay here the second time ##### Nike Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### emanuela Aug 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Una meravigliosa famiglia a Gulhi Il personale è TUTTO meraviglioso,disponibili per ogni richiesta La pulizia è impeccabile,due volte al giorno viene rifatta la stanza Al ristorante si mangia benissimo con pasti vari ed abbondanti Escursioni organizzate con loro meravigliose Grazie alle ragazze del ristorante,in particolare Nyme ma tutte deliziose cosi come lo staff della reception Qualsiasi cosa si chiede loro organizzano in pochissimo Abbiamo adorato questo piccolo angolo di paradiso su una meravigliosa bikini beach ##### emanuela Stayed 9 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barbara Feb 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Barbara Stayed 25 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sladjana Jan 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Sladjana Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pasqua Jan 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Bellissimo hotel su un'isola dei pescatori, confortevole, pulitissimo: il ragazzo rassetta la camera 2 volte al giorno; il cibo molto buono. La spiaggia vicina comoda da raggiungere, con un mare stupendo, tipico delle Maldive. È stata una bella vacanza rilassante, l'isola si può girare tutta a piedi, con la massima tranquillità, i maldiviani sono persone eccezionali. ##### Pasqua Stayed 9 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Isaque Araujo Jan 19, 2025 ##### Isaque Araujo Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sladjana Jan 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D5DB3D653059778E12ECC3A00A49551218BAD4201737192394482.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sladjana Stayed 8 nights in Jan 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi](https://www.expedia.ca/Ithaafushi-Hotels-Waldorf-Astoria-Maldives-Ithaafushi.h32150301.Hotel-Information) > > [OBLU SELECT Lobigili with Free Transfers](https://www.expedia.ca/OBLU-SELECT-Lobigili.h72915067.Hotel-Information) > > [Kurumba Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Vihamanafushi-Hotels-Kurumba-Maldives.h1118581.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Maldives Rangali Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Rangali-Island-Hotels-Conrad-Maldives-Rangali-Island.h564176.Hotel-Information) > > [Hard Rock Hotel Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Emboodhoo-Lagoon-Hotels-Hard-Rock-Hotel-Maldives.h31994718.Hotel-Information) > > [Anantara Veli Maldives Resort -
