"Not “All-Inclusive” – Very Misleading for the Price We booked an all-inclusive package only to discover at the resort that it was highly restricted. You only have access to selected restaurants, meals are limited to three courses, and the drinks menu is extremely basic. The wines included in the package were very low quality (roughly $5–$10 bottle range), and cocktails were noticeably watered down. If this were a few hundred per night, I would consider it acceptable. However, at over €1,000 per night, this is completely unreasonable. What’s more concerning is that once at the resort, we were told that a “full” all-inclusive package existed - but required paying a significant additional amount per person, per night. This was never clearly communicated at booking. Activities on the island were also priced excessively high, which made the overall experience feel transactional rather than premium. The food quality was average at best, and service was often slow. On the positive side: The villa and island are beautiful, spacious, and offer great privacy. The staff were friendly and welcoming. However, communication issues started from day one. Our seaplane transfer was booked incorrectly twice, despite providing exact flight details in advance. A friend had warned me about similar issues from their stay 1–2 years ago, and unfortunately the same problems persist. I will avoid Radisson properties in the future"

"The three bed room is amazing, it is large and comfortable. It is probably the best room type on the island. "

"This is a very efficiently run hotel with lovely staff. Everything from arranging our speedboats, transfers to and from the dock to housekeeping to checkout was perfectly organized. The bed was comfy and the room had everything we needed. "

"Everything was incredible and all the staff extremely kind and professional. "

"Extraordinary stay at beach hotel Dhigurah. From pick up to drop off it was by far one of the best places we have stayed at. Starting off with the staff/management. They went above and beyond to help you, probably some of the hardest workers we have seen during our travels. From dusk to dawn these people are working hard and always have a huge smile on their face and go out of their way to greet you at all hours of the day. They are so well organized from pick up at the airport, boat ride to the island, transfer to the hotel and during our stay it was hassle free. Isham (the manager) was there to greet us upon arrival at the hotel. He gave us information about the island and exchanged WhatsApp’s so if we had any questions during our stay he would help us (which we did and he always responded quickly!) he organized, along with his staff excursions for whale shark snorkeling (which we were lucky to see !) fishing (which they cooked our catch the next day) scuba diving and even our sea plane back to Male ("
