Origami Inn Himandhoo

The room is super clean. It is a sand house in the courtyard on the first floor. There is a wooden floor in front. You can go in with slippers without sand. Swimming and snorkeling equipment can be placed outdoors. The back door can be opened to hang clothes, which is very convenient. There is a refrigerator and a kettle in the room. The hot water in the bathroom is also very large, which is very convenient to use. The food is very good every day. There is a restaurant in the B&B hotel. Basic simple meals are available. If you are not used to it, you can bring some Chinese seasonings to cook. I chose this island by chance because it is my second time in the Maldives. I want to experience the local customs more deeply. Although it is the rainy season, except for the cloudy weather on the first day, the weather is very good afterwards. The boss Azeez arranges us to go snorkeling at sea almost every day, looking for conches, fishing and other experiences. Fortunately, we caught up with turtles and dolphins. He has a son who is about the same age as my daughter. We even lived like islanders. I would pick up his son from school every day and the two children would play together. Fate brought us together across countries and regions. The night before we left, the children's eyes were red. Their sincerity was more touching than the beautiful scenery. I am grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Azeez for their arrangements and care, and for leaving us with such beautiful and precious memories. I believe we will return for vacation soon, perhaps to visit the boss's family and his lovely son.

It can really be said to be very, very, very nice. Azeez and Christina are super thoughtful. From the welcome drink at check-in to the layout of the room, they give people a feeling of not losing the resort island at all! ! I stayed in a seven-star resort island for five nights before, so to be honest, I didn't have much expectation when I first arrived at Origami Inn, after all, what kind of bicycle do I need at this price. But I really didn't expect it to greatly exceed my expectations. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is simply an experience above a five-star sand house. Himandhoo is a very small island, similar to a small village in China, but the people are very friendly. The host, Azeez, is very concerned about world affairs and can openly chat with him, even religious issues. The room decoration is designed by Azeez himself. The lighting and decoration are very good. The daily food (fish, lobster and other seafood) is also ordered first and then caught in the water. It can be said to be super fresh. We come here as a mainland country expressed deep regret. On the last day, because Azeez was going to Male for shopping, we had the honor to experience the feeling of visiting Male with the locals. Whether it's eating or shopping, he helped us bargain for more than half of the marked price. It's really worth it to make such a friend after a trip to the sack. The most regrettable thing is that in the last two days, the weather was not beautiful, and I couldn't see the manta, but I was lucky to see dolphins during the snorkeling. By the way, Azeez is a licensed diving instructor. He taught classes in Male before, and they plan to open another dive shop on the island. Next time I will go again, to learn to dive! ! !

This was the best holiday for our family of 2 adults and 2 children (10 and 12 years old). The speedboat took us 1.5 hours from Male, the owner of Azeez met us at the pier and politely led us to the Origami Inn guest house. A pleasant surprise before check-in: a passion fruit welcome drink and cold wet towels turned out to be very useful in such hot weather of 38c. Azeez showed us our rooms, restaurant and bikini beach, where we were the only guests. We checked into Origami Inn, two rooms are interconnected. Huge, clean, bright rooms, nice design, everything is fresh and well renovated, the bathroom is also large, there are all the necessary bathroom accessories, towels and beach towels for each guest, the plumbing is all new and in good working order. Each room has a good powerful air conditioner, a ceiling fan, a refrigerator and a kettle. The room has a separate exit to the backyard for drying clothes and towels - this is very convenient. Courtyard with private terrace, ceiling fan, comfortable beach chairs and table. We had a great time on this terrace after dinner or during the lunch heat. The staff cleaned every day, towels were changed 2 times a week, thank you very much, everything was very unobtrusive and fast while we were on the beach. Meals half board HB. We were the only guests, so we had a choice of continental or Maldivian breakfasts. I recommend the Maldivian breakfast, very tasty flatbreads and tuna salad. Good coffee machine and delicious coffee. Every day you can choose lunch or dinner from the menu. The girls from the Philippines were very attentive and friendly, they cooked delicious food and always at a convenient time for us. Half board includes 1 main course and 1 fresh juice per guest. Wide variety of dishes, huge portions, always delicious. To say goodbye, they prepared a table for us with candles, flowers and a special dessert. It was a pleasant surprise. You can walk to the beach in 2-3 minutes; the bikini beach is fenced with a special net. Origami Inn guests have separate sunbeds and umbrellas - excellent service and good quality. The beach is always clean, the sunset view is amazing. You need to swim about 100 meters to the house coral reef. Very beautiful, a lot of fish, sea anemones, stingrays, turtles, starfish and others. We were lucky and even saw glowing night plankton, an incredible sight. Azeez is an excellent host, very attentive, always interested in our holiday and whether everything was fine with us, he helped with everything. He also accompanied us on all excursions. I recommend night fishing, unforgettable emotions from catching huge fish of 2+ kg in the old way. We went snorkeling in 2 locations + an uninhabited picnic island, these are the best coral reefs just half an hour by boat: sharks, turtles, all types of fish, amazing corals and much more. Special thanks for the excursion to the whale shark and manta ray. Such a sight cannot be forgotten. You need to see this with your own eyes. Azeez and the captain of the ship searched for the whale shark for more than 3 hours and when our family almost lost hope and slowly returned

We stayed 2 weeks and had a good time. The bikini beach is quite close to the G.H. and well equipped but the reef, if there are currents, is a bit difficult to reach. Azeez (the owner of the G.H.) however is always available for magnificent marine excursions with beautiful landscapes, corals, turtles, manta rays, sharks, octopuses and fish of all kinds. The room is spacious, modern with all the comforts and a comfortable patio, the only drawback we had was the late evening makeover of the room as Cristina (the owner) has two children who leave her little time during the day. However, it seems that the problem will soon be solved with the arrival of 2 collaborators. The food is good with choice between Maldivian and Filipino then Azeez is fantastic to satisfy the most demanding palates with lobsters, big crabs and sushi. We plan to return.
