It’s a nice hotel, it has some disadvantages but if you realize that you are on a small beautiful island in the middle of the ocean you just forget about these disadvantages. Food was acceptable especially deserts.
The only thing I want to mention is that I had a bad experiences with their excursions. We signed up twice for different tours but both times they were cancelled, even though there were enough people (min 4 people). So we couldn’t attend any of them.
And I will give you an advice - bring beach shoes to protect your feet from corals.
The room was very clean, the housekeeper Shariq was also very nice and attentive, and we could communicate via WeChat. We wanted to go to the Coral Garden on our last day, but we couldn't join a group and he took us there separately. The hotel's lunch and dinner on the island were quite good.
Very great experience at here!
Friendly staff, Breathtaking view, Nice food!
Have much activities to do, prepared by the hotel.
There is even photographer helping us to take nice photos and free one complimentary photo to us.
There is even painting class!
Great one!
The island selection was very successful. In addition to the speedboat being a little far away (acceptable for more than an hour), there is also a seaplane option. The service response, accommodation hardware and snorkeling environment are all great. There are no mosquitoes on the island, and the water houses are even more comfortable and great. The sun set water house is closer to the trench and more suitable for snorkeling. The other water houses have more beautiful sea water colors, and the sand houses look very good. There is not much publicity, and even if the occupancy rate is relatively high, it is still very quiet. The island is not too big or too small, and it is not very tiring to walk and the sea water is beautiful. It is not hot for several days. Everything feels great. The breakfast can be changed more every day! I will come again in the future! The atmosphere of the water house is also good at night, not scary at all
We were picked up at the Velana airport after an overnight stay at the local island, with transfer fee of $40 USD per person to take the speedboat to Fulidhoo, where Kinan Retreat is at.
After alighting from the jetty at Fulidhoo, it's a short 5 mins walk to the Retreat. Welcome drinks and hot hand towels were offered.
We missed the morning excursion trip but decided to go for it the next day. The room provided can have an extra bed for $15 USD. Fulidhoo is a small local island but it's the favorite hangout for stingrays and nurse sharks. You will be able to spot these lovely creatures around the shore, especially near evening time when there are people who start feeding them. You will be able to get up close and even touch them, but with caution.
We went on an evening fishing trip that cost $45 USD per person, inclusive of a BBQ dinner for the dishes that were caught.
On the next day before leaving for our resort island stay, we took the excursion trip to see dolphins, snorkeling with nurse sharks at SharkPoint and went turtle spotting, all these for $40 USD per person. Underwater videos were captured and shared by WhatsApp. Great service by the counter lady Shahidah.
I will recommend this Retreat to visitors, and you will not be disappointed with the time spent on the island.
It's very close to the pier. The color of the sea at the door is so beautiful. Linda, who received us, was very enthusiastic to pick us up at the pier and explain the hotel matters to us. This hotel is considered the best hotel in Fulidhoo Island. It seems that you can go free diving on the north side of the island. There are nurse sharks and manta rays. The girl who lived next to me went there with her friends. I signed up for the shipwreck snorkeling and 2-day scuba fun dive of the hotel's diving center. It was great and interesting. I felt that I saw more than I did on the Maldives liveaboard. I recommend everyone to sign up for night diving. At 5:30, you can see underwater fireflies when you turn off the flashlight. After the water level is raised, the sky is full of stars. It's too romantic. I've quit diving because of what you said. I will go there again if I have the chance. See you again!
