This is a very efficiently run hotel with lovely staff. Everything from arranging our speedboats, transfers to and from the dock to housekeeping to checkout was perfectly organized. The bed was comfy and the room had everything we needed.

The hotel was really cute, the rooms very nice with good cleaning. Staff was so nice all the time, and the food was also really good. Would definitely recommend it.
We had a wonderful time @Whaleshark beach hotel. We felt very welcome and safe. Good location right in a middle of the village, close to the beach and shops. Strong wifi, good restaurant and possibility to book a tour. Special thanks to the friendly staff!
This hotel is incredible. From the golf cart pickup on my arrival right up until they waved me goodbye on my departure boat, the whole team were friendly, welcoming and just a pure joy. The hotel itself is modern and clean with all the required facilities to ensure a comfortable stay. The food at the restaurant is also great! This will surely be my home in Dhigurah from now on, an island which I now plan to visit many many times!
Stayed here for 5 nights, we were welcomed by the manager and other staff on arrival - they helped us with everything from arranging speedboat transfers for arriving and leaving the island to booking excursions. The hotel and rooms were nice and modern and had everything we needed, the buffet breakfast was nice and had different choices each day. The location was perfect, a 5 min walk to a beautiful quiet bikini beach, we also had transport to take us to the sandbank at the bottom of the island. We went on an excursion to snorkel with manta rays, the boat captain and guide were friendly and service was great. The island itself is quite small so everywhere is walkable, there’s a lot of wildlife to see on land and in the sea and everyone is friendly. I would choose to stay here again.
Alles top, wir haben uns wahnsinnig wohlgefühlt, vorallem aufgrund des Personals. Es waren alle unfassbar freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Hotel bietet alles was man braucht und hat eine gute Lage. Danke an das Team, dass uns den Aufenthalt so schön gemacht hat! :)
El hotel esta muy bien, todo muy nuevo y limpio. El personal muy amable. Todo muy bien excepto que al pagar el ultimo dia nos cargaron un 3% de comision por pagar con tarjeta, lo que no nos han pedido en ningun otro lugar de Maldivas en estos dias. A tener en cuenta.
Wir waren 5 Nächte in diesem Hotel und können es zu 100% weiterempfehlen. Das Hotel ist sehr sauber und modern eingerichtet. Das gesamte Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Highlight war eine vom Hotel organisierte Exkursion zum Walhai-Schnorcheln. Die Guides haben sehr viel Zeit und Mühe investiert, bis wir tatsächlich einen gefunden hatten, es war ein unvergessliches Erlebnis. Vielen Dank!

Høj service, rent moderne værelse, fantastisk rooftop restaurant
Eneste minus er at morgenmaden er lidt kedelig
De er søde til at hjælpe med al transport og deres excursions er fantastiske

Siamo stati ospiti dell’Hotel Whalesharkbeach e siamo rimasti positivamente sorpresi dalla gentilezza del personale la comodità e la pulizia delle camere, dalla colazione abbondante e squisita, dalle offerte delle escursioni e dalla professionalità gestionale di Lola
Wunderschöner Aufenthalt…wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt - herzlichen Dank an das ganze Team! Als Fachpersonen wissen wir, wie viel Freude und Leidenschaft zu dieser Arbeit gehört, das ganze Team war immer freundlich, aufmerksam und stets gut gelaunt. Alles war sehr gut organisiert, wir hatten tolle Ausflüge mit einem super Boots-Team, können vor allem das Manta und Schildkröten Schnorcheln empfehlen. Wir würden jederzeit gern wieder unseren Urlaub hier geniessen!
Todo excelente. Habitación amplia, cómoda, nueva, limpia. El personal un 10!, amables, serviciales y dispuestos a que la estancia sea increíble. Tuvieron la amabilidad de adaptar los desayunos y cenas para nosotros que somos veganos. Muy recomendable.

Lola foi a principal responsavel para que nossa experiência fosse incrível! Os funcionários são muito amáveis também, especialmente a Babita. Certamente voltaremos nesse mesmo hotel.
