We stayed one week in the "Super Cute" two-bedroom suite. The rooms were high quality, comfortable, and immaculate. The staff (housekeeping, front desk, restaurant, and excursion) were all fantastic and detail-oriented. We ate nearly all our meals at the Benha restaurant on site, where everyone could find something they liked. We did one excursion, snorkeling with sharks, and, on top of enjoying the experience itself, I felt like the trip was managed very well. When we visited Gulhi Beach, the staff would set out chairs for us under an umbrella. Some things to keep in mind: 1. Gulhi is a local island, so no alcohol and you must dress modestly when going around the (very small island). 2. The beach area is nice, but small. There are watersport rentals available. 3. The hotel has regularly scheduled speedboat transfers. 4. The island does burn trash. We only noticed this on one day of our stay. 5. In Maldives, traveling on Fridays is more difficult, so best to avoid Friday afternoons for travel. 6. Gulhi is small, so options are limited for everything.

Excellent choice! I really recommend this hotel
We really loved our stay at this hotel. It was the best choice ever. The staff was really friendly and helpful, the facilities were great, and the room had everything we needed. The location was good, food was extremely tasty and diverse. The hotel made our stay there very enjoyable and for sure we want to return there one day.

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

All good especially staff energy and aptitude. All staff should be trained to be as welcoming and knowledgeable as the Filipino and Indonesian staff.

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.
