PERLA Dhangethi

Amazing staff, well maintained pool…great hosts who offered great suggestions. The best place to stay in Dhangethi

The accommodation is located on the main street. On this street there are shops , pharmacy , ambulance , school , town office and police .The road leads across the island to a very nice pier on one side and the Harbour on the other. The accommodation is located in a garden with tropical vegetation in which there are parrots and pools. Check in and all communication with the hotel staff was completely seamless. The staff was very helpful in dealing with our requests. The accommodation provides you with free snorkeling equipment. It even organised a trip for all clients to a abandoned island completely free of charge. The rooms are big enough , the beds were comfortable. Mangoes were offered every day at the reception , which was very tasty.

Considering that it is a local island, food supply is within reach. Breakfast was therefore quite limited. But this was the case in all accommodation on the island.

The overall experience was great for our family. The hotel is in middle of the island right next to the jetty. The room was spaious and facilities were good enough. The hotel also provided bonuses as snorkeling equipment, etc.

Breakfast could be much more diverse, it is pretty standard. The same applies for the lunch/dinner even though the portions are big. Also there were issues with electricity during our stay. Bathroom also seems not ventilated good enough.

We spent 6 nights at Perla in February and had a wonderful time. It's located in the center of town, right by stores and a dive shop. Also very close are the pier and multiple oceanside restaurants on the west side of the island. Our room at Perla was spatious, clean, and well-designed. It had a large, fairly firm bed for 2, AC, a fan, and a balcony, and was perfect for some cool afternoon naps when it got too hot after a morning of activities. The staff were amazingly nice and helpful, and quick to assist with any questions or requests we had. We got picked up from the boat when we arrived, and were dropped off on our last day. Lunch and dinner was comparable to restaurants in quality & price. Our breakfast was included, with our personal highlight being the mas huni (coconut/tuna/onion) with flatbread. A final nice touch was the complementary beach towels and snorkel gear: a range of masks, snorkels, flippers, and water shoes to use at the beach. You can also borrow free bicycles to ride around the island. You can tell the hotel is run with love and with the guest in mind.

Would've been great if there was a variety in pillow thickness! (They were too thick) A second night stand would also be good.

The hotel was lovely, and we loved the clean pool. The staff was super kind. The breakfast buffet changed every morning.

The beds were a little worn out. Unfortunately, the muezzin woke us up every morning at 5 am as the speakers pointed directly at the hotel.

Thank you for everything. ,restaurant was mazing ,family staff was really we feel like in home

Close to Main Street. Lovely staff. Parrots in the garden.

Breakfast should been much better with some more fruits than oranges.

Great centrally located hotel with the most wonderful and welcoming people and great facilities and food and drinks! Everything was perfect, from the arrival to the very last minute. We got speedboat organized by them from the airport, person was waiting for us at the airport to lead us to the speedboat, when arriving there were Perla people at the dock with the car waiting for us to collect our suitcases and drive them to the hotel (even though it is only a 5 minute walk). It is a family run business that will also organize fantastic boat tours, and take care of your safety, comfort and experience more like you are a family, and not a guest. You will have the opportunity to swim with turtles, whale sharks, manta rays, nurse sharks, sting rays and if you are afraid of the deep water they will even provide life vests and a bow that you can hold onto in order to still get into the water, and they will be next to you so you can feel safe. Hotel is run by a wonderful young family that is also taking care of many animals, so you may get to meet baby turtoise or several baby Macaw while your stay. All staff is friendly, putting a lot of effort, rooms are comfortable and clean, air conditioned and a great maintained outdoor pool is just a cherry on top. Tasty Maldivian breakfast, great food that you can order in their live seafood restaurant at any time, free coffee, tea and the water provided daily. They even have snorkeling equipment and beach towels that you can borrow for free. If you are searching for an authentic local island experience highest recommendations for Perla and the Dhangethi island!

That we needed to go home.

The hotel entrance made you feel you’re entering paradise. The bedrooms and dining room were very comfortable and clean, the furniture was nice. The staff was outstandingly hospital, they always had a smile on their face and were there to help with whatever was needed. I’ve never experienced so much kindness and warmth in a hotel. Our stay was an unforgettable experience.

The staff were incredibly helpful and polite, making our stay even more enjoyable. The hotel's food surpassed our expectations, offering some of the best dining in Dhangethi. The rooms were clean, contributing to an overall pleasant and comfortable stay.
