    Staff were super friendly and it’s 2 mins walk from the tourist beach. The tours they offered were great, the night fishing with bbq was unreal! They also have a link with one of the dive shops on the island and it was awesome diving!

    Fly traps and mosquito traps can be introduced to the common eating areas as the flies and mosquitoes can be quite annoying to deal with while eating. But otherwise everything was perfect :)

    Our stay on Rasdhoo was the absolute best thanks to Ameen and his team. Right from the get go, we were welcomed at the pier by Ameen and brought around on a short tour of the island whilst en route to the guesthouse. Upon reaching the guesthouse, we were provided with cold towels and refreshing juices. Even though we ran into issues with our luggage, which did not arrive in time before our speedboat left Male for Rasdhoo, Ameen went the extra mile and helped us in ensuring our luggage was received the day after, picking it up from the pier and delivering it to our doorstep. Our rooms were clean and spacious. Just about everything you can expect for the price point; nothing too fancy, but really comfortable to return to after a long day out in the sea or by the beach. As we went for the half-board meal plan, breakfast and dinner was included. Breakfast is a small buffet style selection, with around 5-6 dish offerings to choose from. Again, nothing too fancy, but it will do the job and fuel you up just right. While we were there the selection ranged from french toast to pancakes, sausages, eggs (boiled or fried), and a usual selection of fruit. Dinner is ala carte and prepared by Nazmul, the cook. I would like to give a huge shoutout to Alu; our guide (the BEST guide ever btw) on all the snorkeling expeditions. Everyday, he would tirelessly bring us around to all the different snorkeling locations, always ensuring our safety and helping us with any issues that would come up along the way. He would also go the extra mile to get us incredible shots of the marine life on his GoPro. Thanks to his guidance, we saw many turtles, manta rays, and a couple sharks while we were on Rasdhoo.

    Error was made meaning our return was not booked. There was still space so it was fine. This island felt a bit louder and slightly less peaceful than the other islands we stayed on but the hotel itself was lovely.

    Very spacious, good location to bikini beach and staff were very kind

    Everything was right.

    We stayed there for three nights and had a great time. It is clean and comfortable. It is run by a person called Allo who is very attentive and helpful. We went on a really memorable snorkelling tour, Allo took some great photos and videos with the Gopro. He took great care of us, especially my wife who was getting seasick on the boat. It is an establishment with basic facilities but sufficient to enjoy Rasdhoo.

    Wonderful place, we liked everything very much, we were met at the airport, put on a speedboat, met and helped bring things to the hotel, on the spot we were met with drinks, the room for three is large, there is a bathroom, very comfortable mattresses on the bed, everything is clean, nothing was heard inside from outside, delicious breakfasts with fruits and large dishes, if you order food additionally. We also took with them a snorkeling tour on three spots, we were wildly delighted, the guys took a lot of water for us, watched us very carefully while we were in the water, we managed to see turtles, rays and a shark on the first spot, and others then we receved cool videos under the water from the gopro. Also we were given coconuts for goodbye at the check out, I highly recommend this place, they are very hospitable and client-oriented guys, very friendly. We'll come again. Thank you guys for everything!

    Staying at Rasdhoo was a cost effective way to enjoy paradise.

    Public ferry only travels to Rasdhoo a couple times a week so it was difficult to island hop and there is no access to private islands unless you have a booking there.

    Rasdhoo has clean and beautiful beaches. I enjoyed the peacefulness with fewer tourists, during the non peak period. Food was fairly cheap compared to home (Australia).

    We took half board, and we were quite happy with dinners à la carte, however, breakfasts were very limited buffets. The cook did his best of his resources, and, apparently, there were not mush.

    We loved our stay on Rasdhoo. Fantastic location with a beautiful beach and amazing reef in a few minutes walk from the hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff! It felt like we were visiting family, say our old aunty :) A cute secured courtyard with sand and palm shade compensated a bit shabby furniture and bathroom facilities.

    I chose the best on island during Ramadan

    The breakfast is a bit too much gluten and sugar. Difficult to dry the clothes after swimming - a simple rack in the room would help. The air-conditioning is close to the bed and noisy but we got used to it.

    Best decision was to go to Rasdhoo during Ramadan month because 80% of the island is in construction of new hotels. The only restaurant worth eating on the island is Lemon drop. The Chinese one is overpriced, the Lagoon is not tasty. You need to have US dollars in cash for paying the hotel and the restaurants, the bank in the airport will sell you local currency at worst rate than used on islands. Careful with speed boats - there's only one per day to local island at 16h and if your plane arrives later, you're stuck in airport or Male for a night that I recommend to avoid at all cost. The guesthouse is fine, I was choosing cautiously, very close to the snorkelling area. Don't repeat my mistake and choose the mask carefully before you travel! I took a full face for easy breath but it was leaking, apparently the simple mask that fits your face, an anti-fog and a pipe are better. The bedroom and the shower were spacious, there was even room service of changing towels, providing a bottle of water and wiping the floor. The bed is comfy.

    Although we highlight the hotel staff's sincerity and love the simplicity of the hotel's facilities, those seeking superficial luxury during their stay may not be satisfied.

    The charm of local islands should be the ability to enjoy both the local culture and the beautiful nature of the Maldives. In this regard, Rasdhoo is the perfect place. Ordinary people live in close proximity. The hotel offers attractive snorkeling tours at affordable prices, and we participated in one or two tours every day. The captain of the boat was a real fisherman, the father of Ameen, who seems to be responsible for the hotel's operations. Our snorkeling guide was thoughtful and had a knack for finding turtles. All the staff were very kind and always smiling. On the way back from a snorkeling tour, they offered us the opportunity to fish. We caught two fish, which they grilled for our dinner free of charge. It was one of the most enjoyable stays of my life.

    The room is a bit outdated and maybe some renovation would be best!

    Ameen and Alu made our stay perfect. The guesthouse is simple but comfortable, very close to the bikini beach. Rooms are spacious, with private bathroom, air conditioning, fridge and shared balcony. What is really amazing is the staff: they try everyday to make you feel at home, solving every little issue, organizing the best excursions whenever we wished, even taking us to the port during a storm with a small ape car and an umbrella. They really care for you to have the best possible time in maldives, while paying a low price to be in one of the most beautiful and dreamy locations in the world. We saw nurse shark, mantas, turtles and any kind of fish we dreamt of. We recommend Aqua Blu if you wish to be in the maldives, at a reasonable price, living an authentic and local experience.
