SIS Tourist Villa, Mathiveri, Maldives ★★★★

Aquatic Mathiveri ★★

"If you want an authentic Maldivian experience then this place must not be missed. The staff at the Aquatic go above and beyond to arrange trips, speedboat transfers and anything else you could want. The room had all you needed for a pleasant stay, a comfy bed, TV, fridge, coffee making facilities and most important fabulous air con. You could have continental breakfast or the local option which was a tuna based dish. Our favourite place to eat in the evening was Koba Chai cafe and bistro which had a fantastic selection of local and international food available which was delicious."

Veli Beach Inn ★★★

"This review is for the hotels restaurant. The food and table service at this restaurant were absolutely fine. The reason for my low rating is because even though smoking in restaurants in The Maldives is prohibited, this restaurant allowed a customer to smoke whilst I was eating my meal. What made it worse is that they have a no smoking sign in the restaurant and the person smoking was sat literally one metre in front of it. I did raise this with staff and they said it didn't matter because the restaurant was outside. However as stated, smoking is prohibited in restaurants and the man was smoking in the restaurant within a metre of the no smoking sign. I would not return to this restaurant purely based on the fact that they do not abide by the laws, have no care for their non smoking customers and ignore their own rules (allowing a customer to smoke next to a no smoking sign)."

Ever Blue Guest House ★★

"The hotel room was very clean and the owner was very friendly."

Vacanza Mathiveri ★★★

"The property consists of four spacious, simple but clean rooms, fully equipped with a large bathroom and shower. Breakfast is served in the courtyard by very friendly and helpful staff. The owner of the guest house arranged my airport transfer, which was excellent. It's the first time in the Maldives that there was a desk at the airport where I could book the speedboat. The stay was delightful and excellent value. The only downside was the lack of a refrigerator in the room; otherwise, everything was fine! It was a wonderful experience on an island with an extraordinary lagoon!"
