We recently had the pleasure of staying at Rihiveli Residence Thoddoo, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality of the owners and staff was exceptional. They made us feel welcome with a complimentary delicious dinner on our first day, which set the tone for a wonderful stay. The rooms were clean and well-equipped, but what truly stole the show was the stunning view of the palm grove from our terrace. One of the highlights of our stay was the excursions provided by the hotel. They offered a range of activities that allowed us to explore the island, nearby reefs and sandbanks. The combination of warm hospitality, beautiful view, and exciting excursions made our stay great there.

Everything ! It was clean and spacious. There was a big balcony with a nice view to the tropical forest. But we liked the staff in the residence the most! They are so kind and caring. We will definitely come back soon!

I rarely write reviews, but with such outstanding service, I just can't help but give a perfect 10! I want to thank the hotel team for their warm welcome. They have their own speedboat that takes you from the airport to the island. At the start of the island, an electric bus picks you up and brings you directly to the hotel. What follows is a delightful surprise and a seamless check-in to a cozy room with panoramic windows, refreshing air conditioning, and a stunning view. A big thank you to the entire hotel team for: The complimentary island tour. The fact that the most beautiful beach on the island is just steps away from the hotel. The delicious breakfasts and dinners. The daily room cleaning. The nighttime fishing experience. Atif’s assistance with excursions, where he acted as a guide and ensured everything went smoothly. The team also provides plenty of free snorkeling gear, including masks, fins, and vests, which was fantastic. Special thanks for surprising my brother with a birthday cake—it was such a thoughtful and heartwarming gesture. Atif, Ahmed, and the entire team—you’re the best! Thank you for making our stay unforgettable!

new clean hotel, with a good location and great staff. They met me at the airport, sent me with speedboat. Met me on the island with a buggy, took me to the hotel. Excellent service. The first day they gave me a compliment in the form of a delicious dinner! Athief is a handsome guy, well done. he drove me around the island, showed me everything and took me beautiful photos, videos with a drone. He supervised me throughout my vacation. Athief a special big thank you to you. You can take a bike, masks and fins. The hotel is very conveniently located closer to the beach. The island is very beautiful and clean. If will come back to Thoddoo, then only to this hotel.

We had an unforgettable week at Rihiveli Residence. The experience was simply superb! The staff was incredibly attentive and hospitable, always ready to assist with any of our requests. The room was spacious, with a stunning view of the sea, and equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay. Overall, the experience was mixed. The positives included the cleanliness of the room and the convenient location of the hotel near the beach. We enjoyed excellent service at the hotel restaurant, where culinary masterpieces simply amazed the imagination. And how they celebrated my birthday, you have to see it to believe it. We will definitely come back here again and again!

There are no cons at all!!!

an incredible modern hotel, with the best location on the island, the closest hotel to the most beautiful beach is a three-minute walk away, wonderful views of palm groves from the balcony, the hotel is perfectly clean, the room has everything there are cleaning products, a hairdryer, an electric kettle, tea, coffee, water. I would like to highlight the staff, they are young guys who were very kind to the hotel residents, they will fulfill various requests, we had a feeling of ease, as if we were staying there not for the first time... I recommend travelers to order breakfast at this hotel, since all cafes on the island do not open earlier at 13 o'clock in the afternoon, this hotel prepares the most delicious breakfasts on the island We booked and stayed in two different hotels on the island...there is something to compare with, Rihiveli residence thoddoo-You are the best!

Everything was perfect

The property is nested in pristine jungle a bit further away from the busy streets and closer to the beach area. There’s a bit of construction happening outside, which does not interfere with you having a great time. The hotel is being run by a highly friendly hospitable family with all the members taking part in looking after you - they are cooking, cleaning, showing you round the island, arranging tours for you, speed boats if you want to explore other places, everyone speaks perfect English. The rooms are clean, spacious and well decorated. There is a no plastic policy in the hotel, which also makes it environmentally friendly. Tea, coffee and breakfast are available in a comfortable lobby area. You can also rent bikes (including bikes with child seats). The staff are very friendly with the kids as well, i could even sometimes leave my son with them while working, which was extremely convenient. The wifi connection allowed me to hold multiple zoom sessions. All in all, i highly recommend this place to everyone who wants to explore this beautiful welcoming island!

It was a wonderful vacation, we were met by the owners of the hotel, their business also includes their own speedboat, so the journey was quick from the airport on a fast boat, 1.10 minutes across a very beautiful ocean went unnoticed, the hotel is new, very good bed linen in the room, drinking water, excellent internet, air conditioning, refrigerator (on the island there are plantations with fruit and very tasty restaurants), gorgeous breakfasts, unlimited coffee and tea, a pleasant surprise were bicycles, snorkeling masks and fins, which are also included in the price, in this hotel they will create a special mood for you and will always help you ❣️for example my phone got wet and the hotel found a solution, there are umbrellas from the rain, fish that are caught especially for you and cooked, snow-white sand, palm trees, reefs with fish and turtles, the ocean and sunsets, exotic fruits grown on the island, this is what we are going for here, but with Rihiveli residence Thoddoo, our vacation became truly comfortable, we will definitely come back here if you have questions, you can always ask Atif +960 957-2544 It was wonderful
