Gulhi Hotels with Wifi

"In all my travels, the Maldives is the first country where you don't need to exchange dollars for local currency because you'll lose money on the transfer. Everywhere accepts either dollars or rufiyaa, but each has its own exchange rate. It's the same with everything. I contacted the hotel in advance and found out how much a boat from the airport would cost. They quoted me $25, but when I arrived, it was $30. I booked a sea-view room for 5 days and was assigned to the first floor. 🤦♀️ Of course, there was no sea view, plus the smell of the kitchen made it impossible to move. The room was cleaned every day, and it was quite good. The hotel itself is new, but the furniture is already cracked, and the bed linen and towels are good. Breakfast is very poor; I had lunch and dinner there too. There's no coffee machine, all the coffee is instant, so I ate juices and smoothies. There were flyers at the reception desk about fishing and snorkeling. I wanted to book one, but the girl said it was only for groups of 6 or more. I asked if she could help, and she said okay, and that was it. No interest whatsoever."

"Love the hotel. So comfortable and clean rooms. The staff is really nice. Restaurant very good too. The beach is 2 min away and they set up chairs and umbrella for the guests. They also have day trips to book."

"Close to the pier, the rooms are clean and spacious, and there's a pool with a beautiful high-angle view of the ocean. The fly problem in the restaurant, mentioned in previous reviews, has significantly improved; I noticed the hotel placed fly traps. However, the Wi-Fi in the room still occasionally disconnects, and I hope this can also be improved."

"It's a hotel similar to a B&B, with no hot water. In tropical regions, the lack of hot water doesn't have a big impact, but girls should be careful. There was no toothbrush (luckily I brought it with me), but fortunately it's not far from the beach, so it's okay."

"The hotel has a perfect location, the best on the island: it is in 10 meters only from the beautiful main entry to the bikini beach. The beach is so big and clean! Umbrellas are for an additional fee but there's no need in them cause you can sit wherever you want under the tree. I had a cosy room with a balcony, on the second floor. In the room, you have everything you need: an air conditioner, a kettle, a fridge, lots of lights, towels etc. Cleaning is upon request. Wifi was good. The staff is extremely friendly and polite, always ready to help, they helped me so many times with different questions, the kindest people!! A team of divers live at the hotel and leads excursions for guests from the whole island. Snorkeling with them was the best experience in my life! I've seen colorful fish, big sharks, dolphins, and even a sea turtle. For breakfast, you have a choice between continental and maldivian breakfasts, I personally loved the last one, it was delicious. Always fresh fruits and juice before breakfast. Sometimes in the evening, the hotel prepares barbecue dinner with fresh fish from the sea and with traditional music, such an authentic experience! There are several restaurants on the island to have dinner, including the hotel restaurant. They're more or less of the same quality and price, liked local food there. Gulhi is very calm and tiny island, just 30 min on the boat from Male island. (The transfer to Gulhi from the airport costs $25.) There were not many tourists on the island, when I stayed. No noise at night at all, so if you're looking for calmness, this is probably the better choice for you than Maafushi. Also it feels safe if you're a female solo traveler. For me, everything was just perfect, loved the place, the food, the beach, the excursions. I think the guesthouse is the best price/quality option on the island. Thanks so much❤️"

"Very close to Bikini Beach, you can just walk downstairs to the beach. From the second-floor rooms, you can enjoy sea views right from your bed. Bikini Beach on the island is beautiful, and there are some small fish to see while snorkeling, including lionfish. In the evenings, you can even spot sharks at the jetty."

"Comfortable location - close to the bikini beach, excellent view from the balcony, a smart-tv and terrace, a careful and responsive manager. Of the minor downsides: not the most stable wi-fi, poor quality towels, no free drinking water. Breakfast is the most common"

"The Premier Beach is at the blue sea with a beach with a bikini beach, where a lying will be fixed for you throughout your stay. Staff met directly at the harbor and carried to the hotel. The administrator brought welcome coconut juice. Fast filled up the documents and settled in the room. A great room with everything for a comfortable rest. Food in the hotel I liked, especially tuna and pizza soup. There is a volleyball playground on the beach, you can rent a scooter. I would like to express my gratitude to the Nepalese staff of the Premier Beach Hotel. I recommend this hotel for visiting!"
