Thundi by Biosphere

The location of the hotel is amazing, just above the bikini beach and the sea. The area is very quiet and provides a lot of peace and tranquility. The reef is super close to the beach and the snorkelling is amazing. The room was very neat and comfortable, the bathroom is big and clean, and the staff provides you with towels and complementary water. Our room was facing the sea and you could hear the sound of the waves and enjoy amazing views of the sunrise from the balcony. All the transfer to the harbour are arranged by the staff (even if it is very close and is reachable by walking). The staff is very kind and helpful. We had half pension which was very cheap even compared to the usual Maldivian prices.

The hotel is nice but not as nice as you would expect for what you pay, and with very little effort it could be an extremely nicer place. The beach just in front of the hotel is not cared at all, there is no lights outside, and everything is left unattended and dirty. There are some tables where you can eat and some swings where you can seat, but they are extremely basic and ruined. It would take such a small effort to make it look like a little paradise that is really a pity. Breakfast and dinner were ok but not extremely vary, especially breakfast.

nice location.. front beach

The coral reef on the beach in front of the hotel.

The staff - we didn't cancel our stay there in advance because we liked the catalogue with trips and price list that they shared in advance, and we wanted to do each day of our stay. Examples: for the Resort visit the price is 25 $ for the transport with speed boat in the catalogue, but in front of us they scratched the price in the catalogue and say it is different - 110 $. We wanted to book Dinner on sunset for two since our arrival - the written price is 80$ for couple including the food in the catalogue but they said it is excluding the food. Anyway the requested Sunset dinner didn't happen even once for 4 nights. Other trips were not listed that are not available at this season.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Maya and Nemo . The hotel was a good deal, fair price and a beautiful view on the crystal clear water.

Worth for the price, beach is close and beautiful place, great ocean.

It's a great location and property for a quite vacation.

Room ambience and village on the island

Closest hotel to the tourist (=bikini) beach: Right there. Quiet. Beach had an amazing cliff with thousands of fishes and the occasional turtle and dolphin. Beach sand was perfect white silky sand.

Beach is even smaller now then before, because of an ugly fence constructed to obstruct the view onto sunbathing tourists. Beach is maybe 50m of a total island circumference of perhaps 3km. Beach was not properly cleaned. None of these may be the fault of the hotel, but it did feel as though the locals, or at least the religiously conservative of them, preferred not to have tourists on their island. Direct responsibility of the hotel was that many day trips were impossible for various and changing reasons; reception personnel was the opposite of proactive in that regard.

The location is just paradise! It is a dream to look out on those clear waters and beaches! the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Everybody was so nice!

Maybe the only thing I would suggest is to offer less on the menu but instead offer more local fresh food.
