I loved how they communicated the ease of traveling to Addu City. Before this trip, I never realized how accessible it was, as Male is so heavily promoted as the main gateway to the Maldives. Traveling from Almaty to Addu via Colombo to Gan International Airport was seamless. They were very clear about the three weekly flights from Sri Lanka to Gan, helping us plan our trip for the best value and duration. Honestly, the trip felt too short because the welcome to the island was so warm. They even gave us a quick introduction to the island, making us appreciate just how authentic this city is. Be warned—this review is full of realizations! Addu City is like a hidden gem, not heavily touched by mass tourism. Not many tourists roaming around the island, but we've seen tourists who are staying in the resorts in the city visiting on local tour every day in the noon. Before Sri Lankan Airlines started direct flights to Gan, and with the previously high cost of flights from Male to Gan, Addu wasn’t really on the tourist map. But now, they’re truly focusing on tourism with many guesthouses opening up. We researched and discovered that Meedhoo offers a relaxed tropical beach vibe, while the other connected islands, including the capital Hithadhoo, have more of a city feel with shopping and fine dining options. EVERYONE WHO LOVES TO EXPLORE A NEW MALDIVES HOLIDAY WITHOUT TOO MANY TOURISTS ROAMING AROUND THE ISLAND SHOULD COME HERE. THAT'S A FACT!! Meedhoo feels like another local tourist island, and we stayed at Charming Lodge. It was a fantastic choice! They offered free bikes, snorkeling equipment, and other activities arranged directly through them. The rooms were very luxurious yet affordable, with tropical touches like wooden interiors, clean and white bathrooms, and cozy seating areas. And a centered playground, They had a great balance of comfort and style, perfect for a peaceful getaway.

Such a wonderful place! Wd visited end of July and it was tranquil and laid back. Definitely more than a three-star hotel Nice staff, each and everyone of them. Mr. Gadar in the restaurant always saw to ot that our usual drinks arrived without us having to request it. Mr. Ali  was always so helpful to advise for dishes and prepare the omelets.  Mr. Nero at the bar, always with a smile. And Mr...... from housekeeping,  who made sue we felt super-comfortable, and one day decorated our bed with a beautiful flowe design. The gentleman whose name I don't remember who brought mattresses for the sunbeds. Responsive, helpful, efficient reservation staff.  After our flight to Male was interrupted midway and we arrived several hours later, we missed the flight to Gan. I informed the hotel in writing and they were kind enough to arrange seats on a later flight. They also allowed us to use our room after check-out to shower, and because of our delayed arrival, gave us free access to lunch on the last day. For all-inclusive package, the hotel offers for free daily snorkeling trip and twice a week island hopping. Several sun lounges on sand- covered floor - feels like a beach (beach itself usually covered by the sea, hotel grouns are on a higher level). Sea offers amazing snorkelling opportunities, rich sea life (hotel should include a training session for guests to teach them not to stand on or touch the corals). Pool is pretty, but we did not use it. Dishes at meal time were constantly replenished, variety was not large but sufficient.  Food was tasty. Several cocktails on all-inclusive menu. Room spacious,daily cleaning, very efficient. Towels and sheets exchanged daily, spotlessly 2 water bottles per day (can request more at bar with All-inclusive). Loved the cats and cockorels that come greet you on your verandah or beach chair. Would definitely visit again if flights to Gan were cheaper and didn't raise overall costs so much.
