We love Ukulhas a lot, but we love Gunbaru inn more! Accommodation, staffs(they really take care of us all the time) , meals, all activities and trips are all excellent. We're especially impressed with the snorkeling trip, and thanks to Shakeeb and his team taking us snorkeling and swimming with manta rays, it's unforgettable memory☺️. Even can't swimming, still can enjoy and feel safe with Shakeeb under the sea. Thanks to Gunbaru inn for making us a fantastic trip in Maldives, we'll come back here again😊
Excellent hospitality and services !
Giving the five star is just because of the friendly staff we met, Sanjay, thank you and happy new year.
We got help from him for the info and room arranging. Solved your problem whenever you need for help.
The place is not a five star hotel, but a place when you need a short escape to stay.
We stayed for the new year's eve, and been invited to the party with buffet and traditional dance. Not to mention, it's free of charge and leaving us an amazing memory.
lovely atmosphere.
If u have kids, family or loved ones do not hesitate to choose this hotel. You will b in good hands. Room & Toilet is very clean. Food order facilities are there, water sports : kayaking like facilities are there, BBQ dinner, Fishing trips, Manta Ray watching in natural habitats are available. Rooms service is there, very good reception is there for all your needs. Dining area is there and also it is located very near to one of the beach. Sun beds are available on beach. But before u go always check weather.
I don't know what the other inns on the island have to offer, but we weren't particularly pleased with what we found here:
1. The bathrooms did not have any window and there was a lot of mold on the walls
2. The toilet didn't flush properly
3. There was not enough place to sore all you bathroom products and even all the clothes in the wardrobe. There was only one shelf in there.
4. The food in the restaurant was worse than in two other places that we ate at: SeaLavie and Retro Royal
5. The owner organized a fishing trip which was cut short due to weather conditions, but he offered a fresh fish dinner for us as a compensation. Still, he did not prepare that dinner in the next 2 days before we left
6. The owner organized a snorkeling trip. we specifically asked if we would see Live corals in this trip, because you can already see a lot of fish and dead corals in the reef which is surrounding the island. The owner said that yes..we will see a lot of live corals; they are doing this for a lot of time, they know where to take us..On the actual trip, we did see 3 to 5 live corals, but the overwhelming majority was also dead. The fish were really nice, overall I was satisfied with what we saw there, but I feel that the owner misrepresented what we would find there, just so that we will take the trip
What I did like:
1. friendly and helpful staff and owner
2. The owner organized two evening events, which helped pass the time, considering there's no alcohol ;)
Ok
Great service, nice rooms, so-so food.
В тихой улочке . Рядом с пляжем. Но тут - все рядом с пляжем))) ширина острова всего 200 м встретили в порту сразу. Довезли . Сразу заселили. Но - на весь двор шумит автоматический мотор, качающий воду. Включается внезапно и ревет громко. Пришлось переселиться в другой номер из хорошего оплаченного - в маленький без окна. Только чтобы ЭТО не слышать. С едой непонятки. Заказали дословно по меню УСТРИЦЫ КАРАКАТИЦЫ. Принесли рис ? Три колечка кальмаров в жиже непонятной. И стали доказывать что это каракатица в устричном соусе за 12$((( Нашли тайский ресторан на другом конце острова. Едим там. Готовят тайцы. Отводим душу после двух недель рыбно - рисовой диеты на локальных островах. В отеле нет своей кухни - носят из местного ''ресторана'' и разогревают. Wi - fi отличный. Вода есть всегда. В номере чисто. Постель чистая. Чайник. Холодильник. Вода. Персонал внимателен. Но просто по сравнению с предыдущим отелем - проигрывает а так - жить можно! Только хочу предупредить тех, кто собирается с детьми - с детьми сюда не надо. Совсем не надо. Только на резорты если. Молочных продуктов нет ни за какие деньги. Развлечений - тоже. Из музыки - мулла поет 5 раз в день. Такой отдых хорош для романтических пар или зашоренных городских жителей. Которым на отдыхе нужны тишина и минимум общения. Мы из таких. И нам все нравится.
Nice place
Great place.
One of the better establishments that's doing their bit to promote local tourism in these islands. Clean sheets and extremely friendly staff made my short stay here very comfortable in deed. Highly recommended.
