Cottages in Maldives

"Very helpful staff during our one night Transit stay. Woken up by some noise of other guests so walls are a little thin. Breakfast was nice and airport transfers worked well. Room was small but as a guesthouse in a busy city that is expected. Thank you to the staff at the Somerset"

"We absolutely loved every minute of our stay. There really wasnt anything that let this island down. The food was incredible, the service on point and there wasnt a chance to get bored with all the activities and facilities available. The dive centre is the best ive ever been to. All the staff there were super helpful. The dive guides extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to dive with. Our guide Kartik was brilliant. He took us to some mind blowing dive spots all only a short distance from the island. We also did a night dive on the house reff which is just beautiful. "

"Hotel is very good. Just need to understand how it works. We got all included package but not all restaurants were included. Also you need to book dinner always in advance, if not you cant eat in the place. Menu is not open, you have limited options and one main course per person. Staff are very friendly. Suggest to move around walking or bicycle. "

"A great resort. Plenty of options for dining, all excellent. Staff members totally focused on providing a 5 star service with a smile. Would certainly go back"

"The place is absolutely amazing, a true paradise built from the sand! Many thanks to Vijay for taking care of us throughout the journey, ensuring the beddings were clean and the fridge was full. Big thanks also to the doctor for his kind support, as we sun-burnt our legs just before arriving to the island. This was a true 5 star experience, the only improvement feedback I'd like to point out is that the cold drinks should be colder, but you can always ask for more ice."

"The experience was perfect. Everything was exactly as billed. The people were wonderful. The beaches impeccable. The experiences super fun and low key. I highly recommend this place. "

"Good: Comfortable bed, helpful and kind staff, all advertised amenities and more (a plug converter), good signage, close to shops. Not that good: The sprayers of the soap and shampoo bottles were too tight, not suitable for those liquids. The room smells humid when no air-conditioning, location is far from jetties, but as Male is a small island, it's not that big of a deal."

"For Male standards this is a good hotel. The restaurant on the top floor, is good. The staff are extremely helpful. The hotel is opposite a Mosque, therefore expect and early wake up, but every hotel is in close proximity to a Mosque. Personally, Male is not a very nice place to spend time. "

"Our holiday was nothing short of amazing! The rooms were comfortable, with AC and a mini fridge replenished daily. Housekeeping was impeccable, and stepping outside led directly to the beach. Safety was a priority, with life jackets for the whole family. Snorkelling, paddleboarding, and kayaking were available at the Best Dive kiosk, with helpful and knowledgeable staff. We took a sunset boat tour and saw hundreds of dolphins—truly unforgettable! Joe and Alex made scuba diving an excellent experience, guiding my husband step by step. Beyond the sea and infinity pool, there was plenty to do: a well-equipped gym, tennis court, and a games room with pool, darts, ping pong, PlayStation, and air hockey. The spa was the perfect place to unwind—Pin’s full-body massage was bliss! The island shop stocked essentials like sunglasses and sunscreen. To keep mosquitoes at bay, the island was sprayed daily, though bringing insect repellent is wise. Dining was spectacular, with three restaurants: The Reef (buffet), Mare Azzurro (Italian, booking needed), and Suan Buan (Thai, booking needed). The staff were outstanding—Kal ensured my son got his burger, and May, June, Vivek, Sunny, and Habib provided top-notch service. Refreshing drinks by the pool added to the experience—Siva and Ajith made dreamy caipirinhas and perfect milkshakes! The kids' club was a hit, with creative and sporty activities led by Yummi and Naba. Our time here was unforgettable, and we can't wait to return!"
