Ayala Ocean View

We stay at Ayala Ocean View 1 week and its the best hotel on the Island. If you are looking for a nice accomodation for a good price, I can just recommend. Staff very helpful, Hotel new and clean, food also very tasty. Next to hotel is these day a big construction, so they make some noise from 8:00-18:00 everyday but thats the only negative point. Dont hesitate and book early, that u get your room 🙂

Struttura ben curata e ben fatta. Servizio spiaggia è sicuramente molto piacevole, buffet colazione e cena ben fornito. A differenza di quanto menzionato da Voi (EXPEDIA), volevo rappresentarvi che la tassa di soggiorno da pagare sull'isola è di 3 USD e non 6 USD, in quanto tale importo è previsto per i Resort. Comunque una vacanza piacevole e soprattutto tanta tranquillità.

総合的に満足していますがフェリーに関して問題点があります。 フェリーが朝9時にMMA前に来ると言われましたが実際には9時半でした。しかも予約がされていなかった模様。フェリーのスタッフによると10時のフェリーに予約されている、と。しかし金曜日に10時のフェリーは無い。（もしかして次の日の予約に入っていた？）島にたどり着かないのでは、と不安でした。 他のフェリーを予約していたのに、こちらのホテル専用のボートがあるから、といわれわざわざ変更したのに結局は予約がちゃんとにされていなかった。 帰りのボートもホテル到着時に予約したのに前日に予約がされていないことが判明した。 ホテル自体はとても良いのだけれどフェリー往復とも不安があるので再訪はないかな。

I was quite surprised by the positive reviews I read, but after staying at Ayala, I can confidently state that they are mostly paid/fake Pros: - Gulhi is not far from Male, quick to get to, speedboat service working fine - Beach is near the hotel - Sunbed/umbrellas available - Excursions Cons: - booked a room for 3, turned out to be a regular room for 2 with a cot near the bed. Rooms itself is very small, so making 3 people stay there is inhumane. Cot had no mattress on it, felt like sleeping on the floor - rooms get 'cleaned' twice a day, but they hardly replace sheets and provide fresh towels only once a week. They don't take out the used/dirty towels. Floor is not being cleaned - no robes, no slippers. Problems with hot water, very hard to regulate the temperature and water in the shower constantly and randomly goes from hot to cold. Hot water also smells unpleasant. TV in the room is basically useless: not set up, does not connect to internet - no variety in breakfast, always the same. Dinners differ, but overall food quality is average. Shortage of deserts and, especially, fruits, which is quite disappointing. - waiters seem to take care only of the big families staying in, they set up tables for them in advance and no one is allowed to use that area. Should be constantly reminded to proved basic stuff like tissues. Staff may also confuse you with false promises (eg. promised to provide robes, mattress, turned out to not have those) Wouldn't stay here the second time

Camera e bagno molto spaziosi. Letto comodissimo. Pulizia eccellente (passano due volte al giorno a riassettare). Personale super gentile, sempre sorridenti. Servizio di ristorazione in una comoda sala con la possibilità di sedersi anche all’aperto. L’hotel organizza tante escursioni con personale preparato e molto attento alle esigenze e alle criticità degli ospiti per x cui non ci si sente mai soli o in pericolo. Unico inconveniente i numerosi cantieri che ci sono a Gulhi, ma non dipende certo dall’hotel!

All good especially staff energy and aptitude. All staff should be trained to be as welcoming and knowledgeable as the Filipino and Indonesian staff.

The property was excellent!! Staff was exceptional, food was exceptional location was perfect. Great choice

We started our Maldives holiday with a visit to Guhli Island (small local fisherman idland) staying at Ayala. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we were looked after very well. The hotel is very nice on a very quiet island with a beautiful beach. We had free designated sun loungers in a prime spot on Bakini beach. We chose half board, but we found outselves drawn back for all other meals because the food was so good. We would love to go back and visit again one day.

Nettes freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Das Essen war super

What can I say... it is a superb! From the services, cleanings, dedicated beach umbrellas closest to the sea, and of course the amazing food! We have stayed for 6 days including breakfast & dinner, but we were also coming back to have lunch here because the chef is awesome! Overall service charge was low, but all the staffs were friendly and very kind. Their SPA is almost the only one within nearby islands and they got amazing esthetitians as well. Extended excursions to watch dolphines, nurse shark, whale shark, sting gray, turtle were all successful - thanks to Iron from sandyheaven! Overall, we could also see their management on contingency was perfect. Once the toilet on groundfloor nearby restaurant was broken they started immediately repairement and guiding all guests not to have an impact from unpleasant smell. The manager of this hotel seems to have a mild but extraordinary leadership, and he takes care of the hygiene the most. The beach closeby is very friendly for family with kids, white sand beach with low tide before noon. All other guests are very friendly and you can easily make friends, too! It was splendid days in Ayala!
