Blue Haven Retreat

stuff

the location, territory of the hotel, room (no window), breakfast

Very nice service via whatsapp. Every detail was cared for. All in all very nice stay. Good Wifi.

Everything was perfect, nothing to complain about.

Breakfast was great and location close to ferry

The staff were very nice and helpful with our speedboat booking etc. they were doing some building work on our last night and very kindly let us move rooms so it wasn’t too loud.

It was about 10 minute walk to the bikini beach and restaurants. They do have bikes to hire though. To get from the jetty to the hotel you either have to walk 15 mins or pay for a taxi.

Great breakfast. Modern, clean room.

The best guesthouse on Thulusdhoo. Very close to the most beautiful public beaches. The staff is extremely friendly and very helpful. They respond immediately to any request via WhatsApp. If you want to visit the Coca-Cola factory, they will arrange it for you (it is free of charge). The Maldivian breakfast is really nice and filling. If you plan to visit another island (e.g. Hurra) and you have an early ferry, they will kindly offer to pack your breakfast as a takeaway.

Nice and clean room, friendly staff, good breakfast, fast wifi. Overall we had a good stay at Blue Haven and can recommend it for a stay on Thulusdhoo. Eventhough it is not the most central location, that didn't matter too much to us since you can easily walk everywhere on the island in a short distance.

Basically all communication was done with the host over whatsapp, because they were not at the property themselves. While they were always reachable in a reasonable amount of time, I do feel like this can lead to too much room for error in communication with the staff at the property who did only speak basic english. There was a bit of a hiccup at our arrival that was very inconvenient for us. We had asked the hotel to book our speedboat from the airport to the island 3 weeks prior to arrival and got confirmed that it was booked. Only upon our arrival at Male airport did we get the message, that there was no room on the boat for us and that they could only get us seats on the boat at 22:30 instead of the one at 16:30. After a long journey this was not a great welcome to the place. Especially since it seemed that the booking of the speedboat simply must have been forgotten until the last second when there was no space left. Luckily we did make it on an earlier boat at 18:00 after all, but that was mostly due to our own efforts of walking and asking around the jetty. While we did get apologies for this, the only compensation offered was the free use of bicycles for one day of our stay which seemed a bit little. These things can happen, but when they do, it would be nice to get a bit more understanding and compensation for the mistake.

The room was very clean and comfortable, and the lady who was at the Guest House was very nice. The breakfast was also nice (options were Maldivian or Continental, both very nice) and they offered to pick us up and drop us off at the port.

There were a few incidents with cockroaches, but I guess that's pretty common in these places due to the weather. The rates between USD and MVR were exceptionally high (in the whole country), but we were not warned we would not be able to pay by card and therefore had to pay a LOT more because we wanted to pay with cash in their own currency (they preferred US dollars).

The owner is really the best for service, she always up to date, contact n help me when i have a problem from my booking until the last day I check out....during my vacation , I left my clothes but her staff send back to me at jetty fasterly....their room also clean, beautiful n comfortable... I eat their local breakfast, its delicious n look healthy... Breakfast will send to our room n we can decide which time we want...she also help me to know about the public ferry time...

Quite far from attraction but already good enough with the price offered compare to other accomodations...you can hire buggy to save the time, a lot of buggy service always available in that island. just ask the owner to booking, she always ready to help..the price usually around 50mvr for 1 buggy can take 8 people... You can hire the buggy n go to the surf beach area in Thulusdhoo, you will find very beautiful crystal water, hidden place before the bridge with beautiful view n find baby shark swimming near the bridge cross to the surfing area...
