Reviews of Akiri Surf Retreat

i had a great time staying with akiri, staff is exceptional and really quick to answer via whats app. they were so nice and let me have a late check out without a charge. you can fill up your water bottle for free. great breakfast. 10 min walking to dream beach , which is great. 10 min walking to centre and bikini beach. if you want to have more "luxery" you can stay at the zen den from akiri, the location is near to the beach.

The staff were so friendly and approachable via wassap. They organised daily excursions that went ahead if minimum numbers were met :) staff even met me at the speedboat on arrival and dropped me back to the local ferry! This is an included service that I wasn't expecting so was a great surprise 😀

I had a wonderful stay at this property where I was truly cared for and spoiled. The attention to detail and warm hospitality made my experience unforgettable. I highly recommend it!

I would like to thank the wonderful owners of our hotel: Great Dhona and Ziyan. They took care of us the whole trip. They booked a speed boat for us and wrote down which counter to contact upon arrival at the airport. There we were escorted to the berth and put on a boat. They met us at the seaport by car and took us with our belongings to the hotel. They added us to the group, which contained information about New Year's events on the island and excursions. For the new year а festive dinner was organized for residents of our hotel and other hotels of the same owners. We were brought to dinner on motorbikes, because we did not know where the hotel was located. We ate at the hotel three times a day. Each time there were new dishes from Malaysian and Continental cuisine. The hotels where we stayed and ate were always clean and tidy. They also booked a speedboat back for us, helped us load our things into the car and escorted us all the way to the seaport. All requests and wishes were fulfilled very promptly. And they did a lot of things that we didn't even ask for. Very responsible, friendly and good people! I would also like to mention the friendly team of waiters, matching the hosts. Thanks to everyone who contacted us for a great vacation in the Maldives! Svetlana and Margaret.

Awesome staff, great location, and made it super easy to go on organized surf trips!

Great stay, near the beach, very good breakfast and super nice and helpful stuff and owners. It was a grat time. Thank you. :)

Quite, in a nice house with.a garden and use of bikes. Nice staff !!

It’s a bit away from the bikini beach but with the bike it’s an easy ride

Really good place to stay! Highly recommended! Such a nice team, helps with everything.

The team is really nice and helpful. They perfectly know the island and they can recommend you local cafes and provide proposal how to sped time during your holidays. Guys cook delicious diners. We really appreciate them.

However, our room was in so bad conditions. It was totaly diffrent than we expected from the photos. The room was cleaned up inaccurately. The walls need urgently painting. Some unpleasent smell spreaded from the toilet. I know that this is budget apartment but for this price you can expect more.

The staff were amazing! They couldn’t do enough to make my stay more enjoyable- everything for arranging speed boat transfers to trips and excursions they sorted for me! Breakfast was simple but amazing! Really delicious.

Lobby area needs a slightly face lift, but my room was great so not really an issue. Perhaps a new shower head so the water didn’t go in too many different directions.

Our goal was to get away from people, technology and the tourist scene as much as possible. We succeeded thanks to Furishan and his staff. Thanks, much appreciated.

Firu is the best. Thanks
