Oppure dagli scarrafoni grossi come una mano nelle camere ? Poi, senza offesa per nessuno, ma il rabbino che alle 05.00 del mattino fa la preghiera con lo speaker al massimo ? Ci sono 10 galline che girano per la struttura libere, probabilmente per evitare altri animali. I topini la sera corrono sul tetto tutto il giorno. Pulizia delle camere scarsa. Di 4 persone 3 sono tornate con un’intossicazione alimentare. Albergo adatto a tedeschi e inglesi con standard bassi. Pessimo ##### Carlo Alberto Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 22, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very clean and tidy. Staff were lovely. Food was very good and good variety. The only thing that was a little misleading is the free trips. It mentioned that for all inclusive guests there is a free island hopping boat tour And snorkelling tour. For the island hopping technically this is true, it’s is free, but it only runs twice a week on the two days that has flights coming in and out of the airport. Because of this unless you are staying for more than one week you can’t go on it because it is only run on the day you arrive and the day you leave. And you cannot go on another trip in exchange. The free snorkelling tour is unguided and therefore only recommended for experienced snorkelers. And you have to hire snorkelling gear at a cost. Which overall didn’t end up making that much difference to our stay - but to advertise two free boat tours included for all inclusive gusts just feels a bit dishonest when we found we couldn’t actually go on either of them. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Mar 11, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### M Feb 16, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Paradise on a low cost budget Before I begin...if you are the type of person that picks holes at every opportunity, then it’s not for you. The room is basic....1 small wardrobe with half a dozen plastic coat hangers and nowhere to place folded items, but you improvise. Leave them in your case. The bed is large and comfortable. The en-suite bathroom is spacious and the shower has plenty of hot water. The air conditioning is good and it is left on day and night. The food is excellent. We are both Vegetarians, but the meat dishes looked tasty and they had a variety of different choices daily. We absolutely loved the soups. The beach is small, but very safe and ideal for snorkelling. There’s no shortage of sun loungers and you can safely leave your towels, books etc unattended whilst you go for lunch. The pool is large and kept very clean. Most of the pool is kept to a depth of 1.4 metres, but at one end it is closer to 2 metres. With the all inclusive package you can more or less get a drink from 9am until midnight. The daily snorkelling trips and the once weekly island hopping trip is all part of the package. This place is popular with Eastern Europeans as they know a bargain when they see one. Many told me they have been coming every year for the past 10 years. We are going to go for two weeks every year from now on. This is not 5 star luxury. There are plenty of those to choose from in the Maldives if you don’t mind paying £500 pounds a night. ##### M Stayed 10 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### wong Dec 26, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Peaceful little island Its a nice peaceful stay for us, the all inclusive package definitely worth the shot. There's not the typical Maldives expensive resort you seen on TV, but everything is there for and adequate with friendly staff and service with smile. Gan island is a quiet easy island to spent a few days, enjoy the hospitality from little island just south of equator. ##### wong Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Dec 3, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I have stayed before on two occasions, some refurbishment has been carried out since the new management took over a year ago. To the good the pool area looks great and has had new tiles and a lick of paint . The lack and condition of the steps to get out of the pool needs addressing . Also the bar service is somewhat slow but then we are on holiday.

However the hotel is suffering from sever mismanagement from the top. The beautiful old pool bar has been vandalised to the point of destruction leaving it unsafe and unusable in poor weather. the wooden steps to the beach are rotted to the point of one of the steps breaking under a 70 year old female guest leaving her badly shaken and bruised but miraculously not seriously . The beautiful gardens are a shadow of their former self, looking overgrown and neglected, we even had to tie back the undergrowth to gain access to our room!! If you are a non-smoker, be aware that smoking is rife in the bars (including the swim-up pool bar ##### Verified traveller Stayed 14 nights in Mar 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kah Kay Apr 2, 2019 #### Good transit hotel for Gan Airport The hotel is a good transit hotel if you have an early morning flight to catch from Gan Airport after having spent your other days in other resorts. Otherwise it is a very basic 3-star hotel with only one restaurant. Breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets are at US$18.50 per person. ##### Kah Kay Stayed 1 night in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karin Mar 9, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Karin Stayed 1 night in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 3, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Brilliant Value If you like to snorkel choose the all inclusive deal which includes one free boat trip per day. Make sure you get to Mulikeda, Banana Reef and Bushy Island as they were the highlights for us. The staff are friendly and go the extra mile, just don't expect luxury, however the room was adequate and the a/c worked a treat. The food was fine with plenty of options including a good salad bar. If you're feeling peckish in the afternoon, savoury and sweet treats with tea/coffee are available from 16:00. Equator Village is brilliant value for money and would definitely recommend a stay. I'm already planning another trip for next year, 'nough said! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 12 nights in Feb 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Feb 10, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Rooms were basic as shown in photos but clean and had everything that you need. Plenty of sun beds either by the pool or the beach. Breakfast was the same every day but a very varied menu for lunch and dinner. Meals were really tasty with lots of flavour. It was good to have so much choice of vegetables. Staff always pleasant and helpful. We went out on the snorkel boat to different locations most days and saw an abundance of fish including sharks, eagle rays and turtles. The snorkelling was also good off the beach. It was a great holiday. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 14 nights in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Dec 30, 2018 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nice relaxing island. Our only concern was that since we went last year they had lost a few bar and restaurant staff which had not been replaced. They were much needed shall I say. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 19 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jamie Dec 29, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good relaxing stay The staff were friendly and we recieved a very nice greeting from the general manager on our arrival. The location is good - the beach front rooms are quiet and there is a good coral garden just off the beach - we saw turtles, octopus and a small reef shark right there. The hotel room was comfortable - we were a bit apprehensive when booking but the rooms turned out to be fine. Well maintained, clean and spacious. Not luxurious but good. We managed to hire a scooter from outsude the hotel and used that to visit other parts of the atoll - the nature reserve in the far north is quite worth a visit for its coral too. The breakfast and other meals were fine; again not luxurious but good. There were vegetarian friendly options too. Given the location it was possible to visit local restaurants too. ##### Jamie Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Dec 26, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi](https://www.expedia.ca/Ithaafushi-Hotels-Waldorf-Astoria-Maldives-Ithaafushi.h32150301.Hotel-Information) > > [The Residence Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Falhumaafushi-Hotels-The-Residence-Maldives.h6563347.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands](https://www.expedia.ca/The-Ritz-Carlton.h58998476.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Maldives Rangali Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Rangali-Island-Hotels-Conrad-Maldives-Rangali-Island.h564176.Hotel-Information) > > [Kuredhivaru Resort & Spa Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Kuredhivaru-Hotels-Movenpick-Resort-Kuredhivaru-Maldives.h28858949.Hotel-Information) > > [Emerald Maldives Resort & Spa - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Fasmendhoo-Hotels-Emerald-Maldives-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h22402311.Hotel-Information) > > [LUX* South Ari Atoll](https://www.expedia.ca/Dhidhoofinolhu-Island-Hotels-LUX-South-Ari-Atoll.h1520422.Hotel-Information) > > [Meeru Maldives Resort Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Meerufenfushi-Hotels-Meeru-Maldives-Resort-Island.h1451649.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Park Sun Island Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nalaguraidhoo-Hotels-Villa-Park-Sun-Island-Resort.h2917878.Hotel-Information) > > [Pullman Maldives Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kooddoo-Hotels-Pullman-Maldives-Maamutaa-Resort.h39802685.Hotel-Information) > > [Atmosphere Kanifushi - Premium All Inclusive with Free Transfers](https://www.expedia.ca/Kanifushi-Hotels-Atmosphere-Kanifushi-Maldives.h15114442.Hotel-Information) > > [Lily Beach Resort & Spa - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Huvahendhoo-Hotels-Lily-Beach-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h8751436.Hotel-Information) > > [Sirru Fen Fushi Private Lagoon Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Gaakoshinbi-Hotels-Sirru-Fen-Fushi-Maldives.h20823848.Hotel-Information) > > [Siyam World Maldives - 24-Hour Premium All-inclusive with Free Transfer](https://www.expedia.ca/Siyam-World.h53715771.Hotel-Information) > > [Adaaran Prestige Water Villas - with Dine around Premium All inclusive - 24 hours – 45 Minutes from Male by Seaplane](https://www.expedia.ca/Meedhupparu-Hotels-Adaaran-Prestige-Water-Villas.h1520790.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Adult-Only Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kooddoo-Hotels-Mercure-Maldives-Kooddoo-Resort.h15439261.Hotel-Information) > > [SAii Lagoon Maldives, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Ehmafushi-Hotels-SAii-Lagoon-Maldives.h30435488.Hotel-Information) > > [Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa, FREE SHARED CHARTER FLIGHT for two on stays of 7 or more nights from September 2025 until 23rd December 2026](https://www.expedia.ca/Dhonakulhi-Hotels-Hideaway-Beach-Resort-And-Spa.h1393456.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Furanafushi-Island-Hotels-Sheraton-Maldives-Full-Moon-Resort-Spa.h1326412.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Meridien Maldives Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Le-Meridien-Maldives-Resort-Spa.h67546623.Hotel-Information) > > [Furaveri Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Furaveri-Hotels-Furaveri-Maldives-Stay-4-Nights-Or-MORE-From-01-May-To-31-Oct-2025.h12809109.Hotel-Information) > > [Bandos Maldives - One Way Transfer FREE for stays from 1st May till 30th Sept 2025 for Bookings from 16 Apr 2025](https://www.expedia.ca/Bandos-Island-Hotels-Bandos-Maldives.h1705990.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Maldivas - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Kedhigandu-Hotels-RIU-Palace-Maldivas-All-Inclusive.h35002724.Hotel-Information) > > [The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Vommuli-Hotels-The-St-Regis-Maldives-Vommuli-Resort.h15858427.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru](https://www.expedia.ca/Landaa-Giraavaru-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Maldives-At-Landaa-Giraavaru.h1392594.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Exotica Resort And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Emboodhu-Finolhu-Hotels-Taj-Exotica-Resort-And-Spa.h526353.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) > > [Hard Rock Hotel Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Emboodhoo-Lagoon-Hotels-Hard-Rock-Hotel-Maldives.h31994718.Hotel-Information) > > [Kandima Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Kandima-Island-Hotels-Kandima-Maldives.h16010012.Hotel-Information) > > [Ayada Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Maguhdhuvaa-Hotels-Ayada-Maldives.h7353026.Hotel-Information)
