Very kind staff, friendly and always happy to help. The best meals I ate on Dhigurah were the ‘local’ version of breakfast at the hotel each day. The beds were very firm…and to my surprise super comfortable.

From the very start, we felt welcome. The rooms are clean, modern, and have the little touches that make this a comfortable place to stay. The whole interior was peaceful and its own little haven. Dinner was delicious! Unfortunately, we were only able to stay one night, but we would return in a heartbeat.

We were two families staying with kids ranging from 12 to 19. We stayed 8 nights. Some of us have stayed at the Dhangheti Inn in the past and due to a great experience we chose to stay again. Our host is amazing, taking us out on his boat for tours where we swam with marine life (Mantas, Turtles, Sharks) and saw dolphins, and spent lots of time searching for whale sharks, unfortunately not to be this time! Our host made sure we did not want for anything, even providing us a home cooked meal which was delicious! The rooms are comfortable and cool. The rooms had flat screen TV, where we could log into our Netflix. We had breakfast each morning and there is a little kitchenette, supplied with bottled water daily and a washing machine for guest use. The Dhangheti Inn is located in the main street, and near two great restaurants (Compass and Blue Moon). It is approx 5-10min walk to bikini beach. During our tours our host filmed and then sent us the videos daily, which is fantastic as it our allowed us to be in the moment and not muck around with technology. There are also some old masks and fins available, which was handy as some of the kids fins broke and we were able to use the spare ones. Dhangheti is a local island so be aware that there are rules for visitors for respectful dressing and a mosque with early morning prayers. We loved the culture of the island, but it's not for everyone. We loved our trip so much that we are already talking of when we can go back! We can highly recommend the Dhangheti Inn and it's our first choice in any Maldives accommodation!

Small but cozy. Very clean. Have a terrace for sky view.

We just returned from this wonderful home and are already planning our return! This place is a real find! The rooms are spacious, cozy, and very clean. They have everything you need for comfort. You feel right at home, not in a bland hotel. The hosts are incredibly hospitable! They met us right at the pier and helped with our luggage. Any questions were answered immediately. The courtyard is cozy, the atmosphere is friendly, and there's plenty of greenery. Shops and cafes are nearby. Thank you for a fabulous vacation, 10 out of 10!

Everything the service,the staff,the food and hygiene

Everything was very clean and well organized, and you can really see that the hotel is new and well maintained. The owner and the staff were extremely friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed. Their hospitality made the stay even more enjoyable.

The service and location were both excellent. Very attentive and helpful- the staff did their best to ensure we were enjoying our stay. They even served a special barbecued fish dinner for us on our last evening. The little area out back of the room has clotheslines to dry clothing and they washed clothes for us as well. Highly recommend this place for both families (they were very attentive to a family next door to us) as well as single travelers for a relaxing stay. And visiting Thoddoo is a must as part of visiting the Maldives

Very good location. Near shops, restaurants and a short walk to the best beach spots. Convenient apartment. Good comfortable beds, clean bathrooms, all amenities, good kitchen. Comfortable for our family of five including small kids.

We had a wonderful stay at Relax Villa and wished we could have stayed longer. The apartment is extremely clean and comfortable and we loved sitting on the terrace and taking in the views. Zidane, the house manager was fantastic and looked after us very well. He escorted us to the Astro Dive Shop to ensure we received our discount when booking our snorkeling trip (because of staying at Relax), lent us an umbrella as it rained a couple of times and was very courteous and helpful (but not at all intrusive). The housekeeping was excellent too and we were able to have clean towels when we needed them and filtered water was supplied daily. We would definitely recommend staying at Relax Villa if visiting the beautiful island of Thoddoo.
