"A perfect soulful getaway, even despite the storm! Thank you for the atmosphere, Liberty Guesthouse!
My stay at Liberty Guesthouse Maldives left the warmest and brightest impressions! I want to share an honest and detailed review for future guests.
Pros and Atmosphere:
Friendliness and Care: A wonderfully warm, family-like atmosphere prevails here. All staff, from administrators to chefs, are always smiling and ready to help. You feel it from the very first minute.
Excellent Food: The food is a separate delight! Everything is very tasty, fresh, and varied. I especially want to highlight the diverse fish – it was cooked perfectly. It was so delicious that I personally called the chef to express my admiration and gratitude. This is top-notch! Guests from the neighboring guesthouse, who didn't opt for a meal plan, went to cafes, but as they told me, it was all tuna there, and they wanted to try different kinds of fish. My guesthouse served various fish, and it was always very delicious, especially if you squeezed some lime on top – absolutely delightful.
Cleanliness and Order: The room and grounds are impeccably clean. It's nice that everything works: outlets, lights, air conditioning, and plumbing. No surprises. Important note: the outlets are non-standard, an adapter is really needed. I bought an adapter at Malé Airport; I didn't check in other shops.
Local Island – An Immersive Cultural Experience: Staying on a local island is a unique experience. It's not an isolated resort but an opportunity to see the real life of Maldivians. The island has playgrounds, and domestic animals; I occasionally heard roosters crowing in the mornings.
Pros: Authenticity, the opportunity to walk through the streets, visit local cafes and shops near the guesthouse. I really liked that you can book excursions directly at the reception – everything is well-organized. I went snorkeling and swam with nurse sharks.
Cons/Features: The island is Muslim, with its own rules. It's important to know and respect this. There's a mosque near the guesthouse, and you'll periodically hear the call to prayer, which is quite loud. For tourists, there's a beautiful separate beach (bikini beach) where you can sunbathe and swim as usual. It's fenced off with a green fence. However, the entrance there is quite coral-y. And in the lagoon next to the hotel (in the area where locals live), you can only swim in a T-shirt that covers your shoulders and shorts/knee-length bottoms. The island is small and not particularly touristy. It's like a small village; you can easily walk around the entire island. Few people were swimming. I was prepared for this, so I didn't feel uncomfortable. It's part of the culture. In the evenings, they go octopus hunting during the low tide.
Transfer, of course, is a test of endurance: Yes, it takes about 1.5 hours by boat from the airport. Unfortunately, I was unlucky – I got caught in a strong storm, and the journey was very difficult. Many people got seasick, had to hold onto handrails, and brace themselves with their feet. It was a bit scary and tough. This is a factor you can't control, but you should be mentally prepared for it. In good weather, it's just a regular boat trip. Thank God, the weather was good on the way back, and I was warmly escorted to the port, helped onto the boat, waved goodbye, and reached Malé very calmly and comfortably. The boat has bags and water.
Conclusion: I really enjoyed my stay at Liberty Guesthouse! This is a place for those who want to experience local life and cuisine and are looking for a peaceful, heartfelt vacation with excellent service. I definitely want to return in the future and wholeheartedly recommend this guesthouse! Thank you for your hospitality ❤️"
