"Booked with South Ari Dive, who were a fantastic dive centre with everything needed for a perfect diving holiday. Great friendly service, superb value and local dive site knowledge. They took us snorkelling with Mantas during our surface intervals which was a once-in-a-lifetime experience The accommodation is in a local guest house (not at the dive centre but 2 mins walk away). We stayed at Manta which was basic but pleasant and comfortable. Recommend B&B basis as the restaurants on Dhangethi...

Dhigurah

"What a lovely guesthouse in Dhigurah. We spent 6 nights here and tbh we could stay here forever. Felt right at home from the start. Haseef and his crew were so friendly and Abel to organise trips and rides for us. I enjoyed the traditional Maldivian brekkie but only had it once because my wife don't eat eggs or tuna so we tended to have coffee and biscuits in the room. The area is very safe, it's close to the local Mosque so you will hear the prayers daily but we didn't mind that as it's...

Conrad Maldives Rangali Island

10/10 Excellent

"Idílico sitio, espectacular en todo, paisajes y sitios hermosos, buenos restaurantes con excelentes chefs en todos los estilos mundiales. Lo único a anotar son los excesivos costos de actividades cómo buceo, snorkel y demás acuáticas además de bebidas alcoholicas y no alcoholicas muy superiores a hoteles y resorts 5 estrellas cómo este a nivel mundial más aún teniendo en cuenta que la isla es el hotel y no hay más que aceptarlas y pagarlas. Por lo demás inolvidable experiencia."
