Shit people, go somewhere else

1.0

Nada, que el WiFi medio funcionaba bien y el aire también.

It sucked, no one else in the place, not possible to do excursions with them, had to plan and organize everything with other inns. Literally had to go knocking on doors and explaining to see if they would allow me to join their groups. Mosquitos and ants everywhere, things worked but their attitude sucked, I would have lost the ferry if i didn’t leave on my own and waited for the manager or owner who knows th only thing he cared about was getting the green tax money. I only saw him when I arrived and when he came full speed to the harbour to get his money. I literally would have missed the boat if I waited for him and if I wouldn’t have texted him before leaving letting him know he wouldn’t been able to get the money that’s how late he was running. Go to violet inn or probably any other one.

Mi è piaciuto tanto l'accoglienza e l'attenzione al cliente, la colazione e la cena erano buone e abbondanti, era il compleanno della mia compagna e gli hanno fatto la torta. Sono proprio Top

Najwspanialsza obsługa na świecie

10.0

Cudowny pobyt. Jeden z najlepszych hoteli jakie mieliśmy. Fajne wycieczki. Czysto. Z dachu hotelu mozna podziwiać zachód słońca. Mogliśmy w każdej chwilii zrobić sobie pranie.Czuliśmy się zaopiekowani przez Baasima 24/7. Bardzo dobre śniadania. Na osobny akapit zasługuje Anmol, który jest najwspanialszym człowiekiem jakiego spotkaliśmy w całym swoim życiu. Jest to najbardziej miła, empatyczna i troskliwa osoba jaką znany. Bardzo tęsknimy za pobytem na wyspie i w tym hotelu.

Jedyny minus to słabo działające wifi w pokoju 104.

We had such an amazing time at Hanifaru Transit Inn! The owner, Ahmed, was super kind and helpful – he told us everything we needed to know about the island. When we arrived, we were welcomed with a fresh coconut, which was such a nice touch. The room was very clean and smelled really nice. The bed was huge, and we slept so well! The breakfast was Maldivian and honestly the best breakfast we had on any of the islands we visited! We got both sweet and savory options and could try everything. It was always so filling, and I looked forward to it every morning. The rest of the staff were always smiling and happy to help, answering all our questions and taking great care of us. One of the big perks was the fridge downstairs with unlimited bottles of water that we could grab anytime during the day. It was perfect because we didn’t have to look for shops just to buy water. We could also make coffee or tea whenever we wanted. The room was cleaned every day, and the towels were changed every second day. Communication with Ahmed on WhatsApp was quick and easy. I really recommend this place, and I hope we’ll be back someday!

El mejor alojamiento de la isla

10.0

Alojarse en el Hanifaru Transit Inn es toda una experiencia. Ya en el aeropuerto nos vinieron a recoger y llevarnos el equipaje, super amables. Es un hotel familiar y nos recibió el dueño para enseñarnos las instalaciones, ofreciéndonos agua de coco fresquita. Las habitaciones son amplias y tienen de todo. Las camas son cómodas. El hotel proporciona botellas de agua frías sin límite que puedes ir cogiendo tú mismo del frigorífico. El desayuno era delicioso (huevos, una pasta de atún con coco riquísima, pan, pancakes, algo de fruta, café, té, salchicas..). Desde el hotel organizan excursiones de día entero o medio día con actividades de snorkel, visitas a bancos de arena o islas desiertas, ver el atardecer con delfines, nadar con mantas.. Basaam, el hijo del dueño, es un gran entendido del mar y sabe dónde encontrar lo que el cliente busca (tiburones, tortugas, etc). Con ellos hicimos 3 excursiones que fueron super bonitas y nos dejaron toallas, aletas, tubos, etc sin gasto alguno. Sin duda, un lugar muy recomendable en el que alojarse y para repetir. Un saludo a todos!

Todo perfecto, la verdad. No pudo ser mejor nuestra experiencia.
