    I stayed at LVIS Blancura for 8 wonderful nights. The staff are very friendly & helpful. The beach is cleaned daily & at night you can have dinner in the garden on the beachfront. The buffet dinner at night had a good selection of various delicious dishes & is excellent value. The tours & guides are well organized & there is an emphasis on safety in the water. The guides are also very knowledgeable & respectful of the marine life.I was lucky enough to see a huge group of mantas feeding in the bay. It was a wonderful experience.

    A Truly Unforgettable Stay in Paradise! Our stay at this beautiful resort in the Maldives was an absolute dream. The hotel is tucked away among tall palm trees, just 10 meters from a stunning white-sand beach with crystal-clear water. The entire island felt like a hidden paradise. One of the highlights of our trip was swimming with manta rays in the incredible Hanifaru Bay – a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will never forget. Every day, the hotel provided us with clean beach towels, snorkeling masks, and fins, making it so easy to enjoy the sea and the underwater beauty. The staff were exceptional – always kind, professional, and genuinely caring. A special thank you to Sumesh, who went above and beyond every single day to make our stay perfect. He solved every little issue quickly and with a smile, making us feel completely looked after. We also want to highlight the head of dining, who ensured every meal was fresh, delicious, and beautifully served. The service in the restaurant was just as great as the food itself. For the price, the hotel was more than fair – clean, comfortable, and perfectly located. The island is small but absolutely magical, ideal for relaxation, nature lovers, and ocean adventures. We left with unforgettable memories and can’t wait to return. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a peaceful, beautiful escape with top-notch service.

    Super friendly and helpful staff. Best location on the island.

    I would have liked the option to have the Maldivian breakfast every day as it was so delicious!

    Excellent location on the island. Direct access to the beach. The staff are super friendly and very helpful. All understood and spoke English. My room was large and extremely comfortable. Three PROPER meals are provided for by chef.

    My room didn’t look like the photos, required renovations and was located in a busy area of the property. Lots of construction in close proximity (not the property’s fault)

    Wonderful hotel with beachfront location. Super attentive staff always welcoming you with a smile. We did a couple of excursions with them and they were great. It was by far the best hotel in our trip to Maldives. They supply beach towels every day and lovely breakfast. We tried the dinner at the beach and it was great.

    The location of the hotel is perfect, directly on a nice beach and with plenty of lush trees to protect from the sun. The staff was super friendly, meeting all our requests and instantly solving a couple of problems we had. Lunch on the beach was great value for money. If you look for a luxury resort, you should go elsewhere, but if you are happy with a basic accommodation, this is perfect, highly recommended.

    If there is something I would suggest to improve a bit is the quality of breakfast. Although it was fine, it was not at the level of lunch, which was indeed great. This though took nothing away from our very positive experience.

    Staff was super friendly. Room was fine but less spacious as shown on the pictures. Beach super, nice housereef Nice excursions with experiences personell

    Llittle gap in the sliding door which makes it possibble to look inside from the outside en vica versa. Thin walls, sounds from outside and from other rooms, although not super loud. Maybe a little bit more variance in dinner and breakfast, although food was good.

    It located in the good area. The little beaches are nice and clean. Walk a little bit and you can see the sunset. Snorkelling can be very interesting just in front of your room. Staff are very nice and helpful. I also like that they have plenty of trees between the accommodation and the beach. In the day time it can feel really good under the tree shade with ocean breeze.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The rooms are really nice and the staff are so helpful. The food was great and varied, buffet style with plenty of choice. Free tea and coffee all day long if you want it as well as fresh water. The beach is lovely and the house reef has very good snorkelling with masses of fish life including rays and moray eels…. even black tip ref sharks occasionally. Dharavandhoo island is small and quaint but there is not much to see outside of the resort area. However the scuba diving is fantastic with Dharavandhoo Divers - thanks Jesse and Faari for two days of great diving - some of the best I have experienced. In summary - you Di not need to visit a $1000 a day resort island to enjoy the Maldives. With a direct 30 minute flight from Male straight into Dharavandhoo airport, combined with a stay at LVIS Blsncura, you can’t go wrong.

    Mosquitos - come prepared but the hotel also provides mosquito repellent.

    Property is located right in front of the bikini beach, which was great. The staff are super friendly, and especially Lishan was so helpful and accommodating, including trying to organize activities for the guests when it was raining all day. I would recommend for the staff alone, and the room was clean and spacious as well.

    Had a lovely stay at this hotel, where the staff seemed to have mastered the art of smiling. Seriously, they’re always beaming at you, which is a pretty great way to start the day! They even sorted out my flight tickets from Malé, so I didn’t have to lift a finger, making my trip a breeze. But the highlight? Watching dolphins casually swim by right in front of the hotel! Talk about a room with a view.

    For the price, I was hoping for a bit more magic at breakfast. It would’ve been nice to see some more variety and, please, real coffee instead of instant. After seeing dolphins, I think my taste buds deserve the same level of excitement!

    The staff are incredibly kind, helpful and attentive. They made the trip very worthwhile. Thank you Vikash, Santosh, Lishan and the team. Location was so convenient and yet beautifully set on the beach, property is very inviting and feels like a refuge. Loved it 100%. Oh not to mention, they give you free snorkeling gear! Couldn’t ask for anything more!

    Warm, friendly staff. Committed to helping guests get the best experience of Dharavandhoo and the neighbouring islands. Staff & guides are knowledgeable about the tides and behaviour of manta rays and whale sharks. After 3 attempts over 3 days, the weather and tide finally made it possible for us to swim with about 50 manta rays and 2 whale sharks at Hanifaru Bay. Exhilarating experience.

    Wet toilet floor after a shower. Alerted the management. I hope they rectify the problem and prevent future guests from slipping & falling

    The service was top-notch, and the staff was incredibly attentive. The ambiance was truly magical, as the hotel is located right in front of the beach, with the soothing sounds of the sea. The rooms were not big but decently sized, with enough space for a queen bed, desk, and closet. They also had a safe, and the bathrooms were cleaned daily. Opting for full board was a great decision, given the limited dining options in the area. The buffet meals were plentiful, and we even enjoyed table service on the beach.

    The only downside to the rooms was that the roof could get quite noisy during rare rain showers.
