Our stay at Ellaidhoo Maldives was nothing short of extraordinary, and much of that was due to the outstanding service provided by Adam Mohamed and Susil.

Adam Mohamed was in charge of our room service and housekeeping, and we can honestly say we have never encountered such an immaculate room in all our travels. Room 338 was always spotless, and Adam went above and beyond to ensure our stay was as comfortable as possible. He took care of every little detail, even fulfilling our special requests like decorating the bed for our honeymoon. His attention to detail was impeccable, and he made sure we felt truly special. One particular example of his dedication was when he came to our room late at night to prepare everything for our New Year’s Eve celebrations, ensuring we had a perfect start to the year. Adam’s commitment to excellence truly made our experience unforgettable, and we are deeply grateful for his exceptional service.

Susil, who was responsible for the restaurant, also made our stay even more remarkable. He was always attentive and thoughtful, ensuring that our drinks were already at our table upon our arrival, which made every meal feel extra special. On top of that, Susil helped us organize a private bungalow for both Christmas and New Year’s Eve, making those celebrations feel intimate and unique. His constant efforts to go above and beyond for us, coupled with his friendly and professional demeanor, truly enhanced our dining experiences. We are thankful to Susil for making us feel so welcomed and cared for throughout our stay.

A huge thank you to both Adam Mohamed and Susil for making our honeymoon at Ellaidhoo Maldives truly unforgettable. Their exceptional service, attention to detail, and genuine kindness are things we will never forget. We look forward to returning to this paradise, knowing that with people like Adam and Susil, every moment will be perfect.

The dive sites lived up to expectations, the house reef is certainly worth mentioning, which we dived extensively.

Our room was only separated from the next room by a simple, leaky wooden door, the outside bathrooms were open at the ceiling and thus connected to each other. Every noise from the next room was loud and clearly audible - an imposition!
The transfer was inflexible. We were woken up at 4am and taken to Male at 5am with 30 people in the speedboat, although we asked several times for a later transfer as we didn't have to be in Male until 12.30pm.

In short, the Ellaidhoo resort is simply great.

The rooms are beautiful, neat and clean, cleaned twice a day.

The selection of food and drinks is huge, each beautifully decorated and fine plates. In one week you can hardly try everything you would like to have

The service is very polite and open-minded. The staff remember their guests and respond to their wishes and preferences.

The dive center is beautifully designed and well maintained, the base staff are knowledgeable and helpful. We particularly liked the fact that you can go diving on your own and at any time.

The house reef did not disappoint, there was a lot to see, from small animals to big fish (sharks, rays, turtles, etc.).
A small minus point, the sharks are fed with fish waste every evening by the hotel

All in all, an enchanting little island that is worth every visit for divers and vacationers, highly recommended.

I would categorize the resort at 3.5 stars. The buffet restaurant is really excellent, I have rarely had such good (Asian) food. I was particularly impressed by the sustainability concept on the island - as little plastic as possible, own vegetable garden, etc.

Negative points:
- The lounger pads were always exposed to the rain and looked accordingly
- The spa was at least 30% too expensive. It was correspondingly empty and the girls were correspondingly bored ????

The island offers everything a diver's heart desires. Room, food and service are just "perfect". The dive center Dive and Sail of Alfons Straub is one of the best organized dive centers I have seen so far. And I have already seen many dive centers. Again I have to say: Service, organization and friendliness of the staff is just indescribably good. The house reef is so great that you can only dive there. There is a lot to see at the reef, just great. But also the boat trips to the dive sites are highly recommended, because it is again something completely different.

The organization in the reception was probably a little chaotic. We did not get the booked rooms and therefore had to move after 2 days. The key cards did not always work either. Unfortunately, we did not get rooms with twin beds. Apparently these are not available. There would be a need for improvement here. But the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Already while snorkeling you can see rays, turtles etc. simply fantastic!

Jan and I were at the beginning of December 2022 in Ellaidhoo and were generally very satisfied.
Have abslviert there the Advanced.
Excellent diver hotel with steep wall reef all around in which often like-minded people are encountered. Boat trips are almost not necessary. We saw huge shark swarms of 10 and more sharks during the dives in the house reef. Visibility was basically ok, but not picture perfect. We were a bit unlucky with the weather. 4 out of 8 days were completely rained out. But this is not the fault of the hotel.
However, if you are looking for absolute streetcar beaches, you should better look around in Reethi Beach.
For diving, the hotel, respectively its house reefs are absolutely great, but unfortunately not really cheap. We felt that the prices were very high!
The food was really quite ok.
Dive center management speaks only English, no German, Räterromanisch, French,...

November is not the best season for diving. The visibility was not very good.
The dive sites themselves, however, were great, as well as the house reef.

An Eco Resort where the price-performance ratio is right. Dive center very well organized with a lot of personal responsibility, great house reef, also for snorkeling, fishy spots, but you should be used to current. Food very versatile and varied, bungalows clean and spacious. Good to know: What is not in the package (for example, with VP it is soft drinks and alcohol) is expensive.

We were glad about the water bungalow, there it was quieter. For our taste it has too many bungalows.... Even behind the kitchen . We would not have wanted to be there. Otherwise everything was good. There are enough dive sites, the house reef is beautiful.

probably the ugliest island in the whole Maldives, someone said. True whs. also. I would describe it as simple but good: just continuous breakwaters, pipes partly laid above ground and rather designed towards mass tourism. That is, bungalows very close to each other, in the 'normal' restaurant you sit very close together. We were there in May / low season, so that was not such an issue.
Food has canteen character but was always tasty and varied.
From the diving you have to like current, because the island is located on an outer channel. But there are many sharks.
Dive guides were all super nice with one exception. And we were thrilled by the boat crew; super nice and helpful.
The island is visited mainly by Germans, then some Brits and the rest is a mixture from all over the world. We met a lot of great people. All relaxed and nice.

Second time on this island and again a wonderful vacation. The beach bungalows are fantastic rooms. Modern, beautiful, spacious, good WiFi in the room.
Small manageable island. Diving school is good. Friendly people, beautiful diving, lots of marine life.
For us a must.

a great overall concept was the basis for this wonderful vacation and the desire to come back here again

Great house reef. Support by the dive center very good, except for the base leader. Excursions well organized, but with the great house reef not absolutely necessary! Support on the island very good. Food top!

The service was very attentive and friendly and the food varied and mega delicious. The rooms were always clean and in top condition. On the last evening we got as a surprise a whole mackerel for dinner. Mega tasty. There are many little things that make this hotel special.

A staircase from the water bungalow into the sea would still be the icing on the cake but that is whining at a very high level.

It was a great vacation. Shoes off when arriving - shoes on when leaving. Super hygiene concept. The food was great, a little too spicy for kids. Staff were very accommodating, knew our names quickly. We had great weather. The reef was beautiful, unfortunately sometimes a little unpredictable current. This was not mentioned in the description so, also not that the sharks are fed. Diving with the many sharks was already special, came from the description also not so clear rüber. (or I have read over it...) We really liked it.

(Automatically translated from German)

The house reef is really something of the best where we have seen.
(really top and recommended)

Very nice resort. But the beer is way too expensive (10 dollars!).

We had a relaxing week on the island, with a great house reef. We were thrilled by the spa, definitely go there! Highly recommended is the Balinese massage, we have taken a package. Also in times of Corona we felt safe and in good hands.
