It was just an ideal choice for a couple of nights in Mahaanaelhihuraa with extraordinarily good value for money. The rooms had a real cozy feel, and stepping out to the beach was a delight. Bring your snorkeling gear as the marine life is just a few steps away!

I was utterly frustrated with the reception staff, who failed to assist in any meaningful way. every time I sought help, it was always 'I'll send your request to my manager,' and that was it. The lack of diverse food options left me very disappointed. I was looking forward to some local cuisine, yet it was predominantly European. To top it off, the coral barrier accessibility was a joke. we had to take a boat when it was promised that we'd be able to explore directly from the beach.

a stunning natural aquarium right at your doorstep

beautiful lagoon, diverse marine life

bathroom updates needed

The coral barrier is beautiful, yet the food lacks variety.

Stunning island vibes

What a place! The water was like nothing I've ever seen—so clear and blue! The outdoor dining area was super chill, perfect for sunset views. Only thing is the bugs in the room were a bit annoying. And, man, the staff really knew how to keep the bar lively when they wanted to. Definitely worth it!

The bungalows are well-hidden within tropical vegetation, providing a cozy and natural feel, enhancing accessibility and comfort during my stay.

Improve the menu with more Asian cuisine options.

Can't recommend highly enough for a relaxing holiday

Charming beach, fantastic service, this island is a dream with pristine waters perfect for snorkeling and friendly staff who made our stay truly enjoyable while we also appreciated the convenient access to transportation from the airport.

It was perfect.

The lagoon was beautiful and perfect for swimming, and I loved the laid-back vibe with themed evenings that brought everyone together. I enjoyed relaxing by the beach and took advantage of the snorkeling and paddleboarding opportunities that were offered. One small downside was that the menu leaned a bit more towards European dishes, but the meals were still delicious overall. 😊

staying at rihiveli was amazing! the lagoon is stunning and great for swimming. plus, the staff from the bar and restaurant really made our stay special with their friendly service. we're close to the jetty, making it easy to explore the surrounding beauty and encounter marvellous creatures. the themed evenings they organized helped everyone connect and have fun!

The Beach Villa was decent, but it had some quirks. Lots of ants around, which was annoying, and it was hard to sleep without air conditioning—it felt like an open cabin. It was a bit stuffy, and the ceiling fan was wobbly, which made it feel unsafe at night. No luxury vibes, but the vibe was chill and cozy with all the plants around. Access to the beach was great, though!

The rooms were charmingly nestled among lush tropical foliage, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere that felt like a hidden paradise—very accessible for everyone, really delightful to wander around at my own pace.

Improved menu with more Asian cuisine options.
