Central location. Nice and airy. Loved the breakfast area & little kitchen. Room clean & comfortable. Lots of little extras like sun tan lotion & aftersun. Facilities are simple and good value for money.

Indeed, we were very lucky to stay in Dhangethi INN. Hospitality of Ahmed exceeded all our expectations! The room is clean and spacious( AC, kettle), common area is very cozy. There is a nice small corner shop 1 min walk. We alternated two cafés nearby for lunch and dinner.( Compass and Blue Moon). But the true highlight of the stay is ocean trips with Ahmed! You will bring back home a lot of valuable memories to treasure. We met turtles, mantas and a whale shark! Ahmed does his best to find the creatures and to film the best possible videos for his guests! Going to a night snork is highly recommended as well, very exciting! If you visit Maldives for the first time, there is no better place to stay. A place for nature lovers! PS we had our own masks and fins, however Ahmed has some to lend as well.

First of all the location is right at the bright main street. You could hear noises but i am a noise sensitive person and the street noises it did absolutely not disturb me. Next door is a great diving center and also a small shop with everything you might need. The room is nicely equipped and clean. I was able to choose my preferred breakfast time and it was freshly cooked for me. Coffe/Tea, eggs, toast and sausages as locally ususal. There is also another way to get breakfast at the local "blue moon" coffe. I am not much of a breakfat person so i didn't really choose this a lot. One can use the kitchen as well, but i almost never did. There is a big fridge and everything you need. The washing machine wasnt the strongest but absolutely helpful and did its thing. I could choose between two washing detergents. The common room can be used to sit and play or whatever but i was also able to hang my laundry. Nicely equipped as well. The landlord is excepionally nice and asked me proactively if i needed something or if everything is ok. I could have booked tours with him as well, but i was still learning to dive so i went with the dive center. He was so helpful and polite and i could ask him anything, he would assist. Thank you very much.

The host was taking care of us on each moment, from arrival to last goodbye from the boat leaving the island Clean, well equipped, perfect location from restaurants and bikini beach, Special + is the excursions with Ahmed and his friend and his ability to capture the magical moments with his camera underwater

Dhangethi inn was the best discovery I’ve made in my trip. The place is comfortable, well located, with some common areas that you can use for free and give you freedom, close to the restaurants and the sunset point… but the very very best from it is its owner. He made us feel at home, he made all the snorkelling tours with us and was the best guide ever. We could see mantas, Whaleshark, turtle, sandbank, eagle ray, even though the weather wasn’t the best. He really tried to make our dreams come true and also he es a veeery great guy as a person. I can’t tell a negative aspect about this place because it’s been incredibly unforgettable. We feel like the luckiest couple in the world.

Everything was top notch! The host took care of our transport to the island from the airport and showed us around the island upon arrival. He took care of us, providing everything we needed. We were even provided with a free breakfast on all the five days of our stay. He also took us on a free snorkelling tour to a neighbouring sandbank and he tried his best to find mantas and whale sharks for us to snorkel with. When we did not find whale sharks, he gave us another free tour (which was unfortunately also unsuccessful, but nothing can be done about that). I can heartily recommend staying at Dhangethi Inn!

We liked everything from the very beginning, from the moment we met until we left. Akhmed is a very attentive and caring host. Our plane was delayed and we did not have time to catch the speedboat. Akhmed was constantly in touch and agreed speedboat on another time. After an hour and a half ride by speedboat, we were met by Akhmed on Dhangethi Island. When we met, he gave us a branded T-shirt and a coconut. We liked the hotel, a cozy room, everything was there, the air conditioning was silent. The hotel is located in the center, close to grocery and souvenir shops. The hotel has a kitchen, you can cook food, there is free water, tea, coffee, cakes and a veranda on which you can sit and eat. Excursions with Ahmed are a separate issue. He is a great expert in this matter. The next day we went on a manta ray excursion and swam with them, it was amazing. Akhmed films everything with his camera and then provides the video and photos for free. The next day he took us on a whale shark tour and we swam with it. My wife didn’t have time to swim after the whale shark, so Akhmed put her on his boat, they caught up with the whale shark, jumped into the water, he took her hand and literally took her to the whale shark. That was great! There were also excursions to the sand bank and snorkeling. In general, the week on the island flew by very quickly. As a farewell, Akhmed gave us more souvenir magnets. There is a lot more to tell, but we invite you to come and see everything for yourself. Thanks to Akhmed. We'll definetely come back. P.S. We ate at the Compass restaurant, stingrays swim there in the evening, you can feed them, and my wife constantly fed them and pet them. Super!

We had a wonderful stay in Dhangethi in April. Tholal arranged both our speedboat transfers and helped when our flight was cancelled to rearrange. The accomodation was comfortable, well located and there was always bottled water and snacks to access from the shared kitchen. It was close to a few lovely restaurants with sunset and ocean views. We chose this accomodation in particular after reading reviews of the excursions from Tholal's boat and we were not disappointed. We did the manta ray snorkel, whale shark snorkeling and reef snorkel and had an amazing time. Tholal captures wonderful underwater videos of the experience and sends them to you - check out the Instagram channel! He's a very generous and warm host who will make you feel very welcome on this beautiful island.
