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 #### 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. All staff should be trained to be as welcoming and knowledgeable as the Filipino and Indonesian staff. ##### JOHAN ### 10/10 Excellent #### Oliver Mar 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stay at Ayala Ocean View 1 week and its the best hotel on the Island. 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 ## 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 - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Veligandu-Hotels-Anantara-Veli-Maldives-Resort-Adults-Only.h1486735.Hotel-Information) > > [OZEN LIFE MAADHOO - Luxury All Inclusive with Free Transfers](https://www.expedia.ca/Maadhoo-Hotels-OZEN-LIFE-MAADHOO-A-Luxury-All-Inclusive-Resort.h16821632.Hotel-Information) > > [Meeru Maldives Resort Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Meerufenfushi-Hotels-Meeru-Maldives-Resort-Island.h1451649.Hotel-Information) > > [Malahini Kuda Bandos Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kuda-Bandos-Hotels-Malahini-Kuda-Bandos-Resort.h14801253.Hotel-Information) > > [Summer Island Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Ziyaraifushi-Island-Hotels-Summer-Island-Maldives.h9990281.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Coral Reef Resort & Spa Maldives – A Premium All Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Hembadhu-Island-Hotels-Taj-Coral-Reef-Resort-Spa-Maldives.h526375.Hotel-Information) > > [Centara Ras Fushi Resort & Spa Maldives - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Giravaru-Hotels-Centara-Ras-Fushi-Resort-Spa-Maldives.h5714044.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Kandooma-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Resort-Kandooma-Maldives.h2427339.Hotel-Information) > > [Ozen Reserve Bolifushi- All Inclusive with Free Transfers](https://www.expedia.ca/Bolifushi-Island-Hotels-OZEN-RESERVE-BOLIFUSHI-A-Luxury-All-Inclusive-Resort.h4277939.Hotel-Information) > > [OBLU SELECT Sangeli - Premium All Inclusive with Free Transfers](https://www.expedia.ca/Akirifushi-Hotels-OBLU-SELECT-Sangeli-All-Inclusive-With-Free-Transfers.h22499523.Hotel-Information) > > [Velassaru Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Velassaru-Hotels-Velassaru-Maldives.h1145793.Hotel-Information) > > [SAii Lagoon Maldives, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Ehmafushi-Hotels-SAii-Lagoon-Maldives.h30435488.Hotel-Information) > > [COMO Cocoa Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Makunufushi-Hotels-COMO-Cocoa-Island.h1489753.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Furanafushi-Island-Hotels-Sheraton-Maldives-Full-Moon-Resort-Spa.h1326412.Hotel-Information) > > [OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi - All Inclusive with Free Transfers](https://www.expedia.ca/OBLU-XPErience-Ailafushi.h72915265.Hotel-Information) > > [Bandos Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Bandos-Island-Hotels-Bandos-Maldives.h1705990.Hotel-Information) > > [Adaaran Club Rannalhi](https://www.expedia.ca/Rannalhi-Hotels-Adaaran-Club-Rannalhi-45-Minutes-Away-From-Male-By-Speedboat.h1514749.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Maldives At Kuda Huraa](https://www.expedia.ca/Kuda-Huraa-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Maldives-At-Kuda-Huraa.h797351.Hotel-Information) > > [Baros Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Baros-Island-Hotels-Baros-Maldives.h1334001.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands](https://www.expedia.ca/The-Ritz-Carlton.h58998476.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Exotica Resort And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Emboodhu-Finolhu-Hotels-Taj-Exotica-Resort-And-Spa.h526353.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Park Kodhipparu](https://www.expedia.ca/Kuda-Vattaru-Hotels-Grand-Park-Kodhipparu.h17786794.Hotel-Information) > > [Coco Bodu Hithi](https://www.expedia.ca/Bodu-Hithi-Hotels-Coco-Bodu-Hithi.h1639983.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Maldivas - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Kedhigandu-Hotels-RIU-Palace-Maldivas-All-Inclusive.h35002724.Hotel-Information) > > [Adaaran Prestige Vadoo - Adults Only - All Inclusive with Free Transfers](https://www.expedia.ca/Vadoo-Island-Hotels-Adaaran-Prestige-Vadoo-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive-With-Free-Transfers.h2899981.Hotel-Information)
