    Just one thing to point out is that with terrace rooms the terrace is a shared space between the 2 rooms, so not private. It's not a massive issue but worth noting.

    All the staff here are extremely helpful and polite. The room was very clean with lovely fresh sheets and a large comfy bed. The bathroom appears to have been newly renovated, the shower was excellent and the air con worked really well. I ordered some noodles to eat on the terrace and they were delicious really tasty and well priced. The location is great in the middle of the island along the beach side. You can easily walk anywhere; supermarket, central park, restaurants, phase 2 bridges, the port. Remember there is no bikini beach on this island, local dress codes apply. I got a taxi to and from the airport and paid around £5 each way for a 10-15 min drive. Taxis are easily available on arrival at Male airport. Tip: I was led to believe that USD was the preferred currency but I think that's more on the resort islands as here in Hulhumale everywhere wanted MVR. You can change dollars to local currency in the hotel but they are extremely fussy about the condition ( not just the hotel but everywhere) also most places won't take any lower than the 10 dollar bill. Overall a great place to stay to experience a little bit of life on Hulhumale island.

    Breakfast was very good and hotel accommodated our group of 13 with a group breakfast prior to departure. Plankton also arranged our round trip transport to and from hotel . Staff went above and beyond our expectations and provided us exceptional service throughout our stay. A great place to start and finish your trip or even use as a base to explore the Male area. Great local swimming beach out front with several shopping districts and restaurants close by. Incredible location…….Will be back!!

    This hotel was such a nice surprise - spotlessly clean, beautifully located, extremely comfortable, and the staff... absolutely exceptional. They were so welcoming, and kind, and friendly - they truly made our short stay in Hulhumale memorable. Had I known before that this is such a lovely hotel (basically, this whole area in Hulhumale looks very nice, the beach, the park, the restaurants), I would have certainly booked an extra night, at least. I fully recommend it!

    I have not learned to appreciate instant coffee, despite this, the breakfast was delicious. Apparently, a more traditional Maldivian breakfast with a refreshing shredded tuna mix, an egg, flat bread and fruits.. very simple but so delicious and prepared me for another wonderful travel day.

    The hotel has appeared to have undergone recent renovations-for example the bathroom. It was clean, had a spacious feel for a single room and the bed was very comfortable. Two factors made this stay blissful.. this and another booking were made through booking.com. and the unrelated venues had been communicating to coordinate to organise transfer from one to the other (based on some details I provided) I arrived late and was departing immediately the new morning- this made my transfer feel so calm and conveniently organised. The staff are so respectfully caring, welcoming, and attention to even small details of customer need. The second factor, missed in my planned booking and not realised on late night arrival, was how blissfully close the hotel is to a beautiful swim beach... my only disappointment was that I missed this point and travel fatigue reduced my ability to get up and explore before needing to leave.. an early morning swim and longer stay would have made this stay absolute bliss.

    The bathroom floor got wet easily and we didn't have anything to dry it with.

    This is the second time we stay at Planktons and once again it has been a lovely stay. Location is great, just in front of the beach and close to various restaurants. The staff was also very very friendly and help us arrange our transfer to and from the airport, which is just a 15 min ride away.
