Reviews of Sandy Heaven Maldives

Great location, helpful staff

Thanks to Salina and Saif for making our first time in the Maldives unforgettable. The hotel is very cute, very Maldivian style with little details that make your stay very special. There is the choice of a nice Maldivian breakfast as well as other choices. Location is just perfect as well

Its close to the beach and the staff mr nayan was very helpful.

the room was right opposite of the entrance and check in desk. we felt a bit insecure. i requested the owner to give us a higher floor if available but he didn't bother to reply. However, he did give a free upgrade to a beautiful women. i guess if i was beautiful i would have had a chance of free upgrade :p

The price of this hotel is similar to what we booked on Maafushi Island, but it differs greatly in terms of service, infrastructure, and problem-solving methods! 1.Check in We paid the front desk with Rufiyaa, but she left after taking the money. Still, the guy, who helped us carry our luggage, came in and told us she was going to exchange the money for us. 2. Hot Water After checking in, I started taking a shower and found that there was no hot water. The hot water button was particularly high, accessible only to a 1.8-meter-tall man, and there were also unknown yellow stains on the glass door... As a result, we couldn't reach the front desk either, so the guy who was carrying our luggage, opened it for us. 3. Electricity During my bath, the power kept shutting down and restoring power. We went out to take photos around 6:30 PM, but the power and hot water were still not fixed. She promised to fix it when we got back after dinner, but when we returned in the evening, there was still a power outage. The guy who was carrying luggage, listened attentively as we recounted the details. But the front desk staff was impatient and mean throughout the process. 4. Attitude Toward Solving Problems The front desk was dismissive of our attitude throughout, laughing and joking. She was still making video calls at work, and said it wasn't her problem, thinking we didn't understand English? The guy who was carrying luggage, called their manager, who also believed that solving the hot water and electricity issues was sufficient without any compassion. Under our negotiations, the manager agreed to refund us if there is still a power outage tonight. 5. Refunds Just as we were getting ready to sleep around 11 o'clock, the power went out again, leaving the entire second floor without electricity. We booked a new hotel overnight. The next morning, we negotiated a refund with the manager. Our total order price was $176.

Sandy Heaven was a wonderful start of our Maldives adventure! Super kind and friendly hosts, great location just few steps from the beach, awesome breakfast, overall a real Maldivian vibe that i always wanted to experience! Extremely happy with choosing Sandy Heaven!

Room was nice and clean. Could do with a fridge to keep drinks cold. Bed was comfortable.

Slight smell in the bathroom however you are on a small island so not an issue as understandable

The location is awesome very close to Bikini Beach (but the island is also super small). The staff is super super nice and helpful and always available. The breakfast is nice with local options as well.

The room needs maintenance. Parts of the floor were coming out in the room and balcony. Some other guests told me they had coackroaches and bed bugs (I didn't fortunately). Not the fault of the hotel but be careful at the Bikini Beach, some guys who arrange trips will try to sell you a fish BBQ dinner which is a total scam !!!!

Everything is good, especially Saif is very helpful！ Highly recommendation！

Clean and big room (we were changed to a family room due to a system error). The personnel was really kind and the breakfast options were nice. The location was great, as it was just a few meters from the bikini beach. We greatly appreciated the possibility of checking in earlier and leaving our luggage free of cost the last day for a couple of hours.

Regarding the full day trip we were slightly deceived, as the offer states sharks and stingrays as two different snorkel points, but they just feed the animals at one point (which we are not a fan of). Just a small detail: towels are not changed everyday.

I was at Sandy for 6 nights. Location of hotel is excellent- it's 1 minute walking from Bikini beach. My room was very good and very clean. The breakfast had 3 options - I tried every option available and all of them were very good. I definitly would go again if I am at Gulhi again.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. They offered allot of excursions.

Saif and the other employees were the nicest people we’ve talked to in a hotel! They really made our stay unforgettable and really comfortable. We had everything we needed and got really helpful tips for Maldives in general! Thank you so much. Will definitely recommend the place!

Staff were brilliant, so friendly and helpful. The breakfast was absolutely fantastic, loved the Mas Huni! Island is delightful and we were super close to the tourist beach

Only minor criticism was could do with a little more storage in the room

Our stay was amazing! The staff were super kind and helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. They met us at the harbor and arranged an amazing day trip excursion including snorkeling with sharks, sting rays, and turtles, and lunch on a sandbank. Free snorkel gear was provided and the accommodation is seconds from the bikini beach. There is a choice of three types of breakfasts which were delicious. Rooms were simple and cozy and beds were really comfortable.

The room were nice. It's very close to the beach. The staff were very friendly and very welcoming.

We loved the staff! They were super friendly and the location ist right next to the beach.

I had the best experience in Sandy heaven. All the staff were wonderful. Salina with her beautiful smile at reception was always there to help us. Sayf made our stay unforgetable. My husband at last day of our stay got sick and the managment of hotel helped us alot and coordinated with the hospital to admit us. Our room was cosy and it had a nice view of sea. It was clean and well decorated and comfortable. Thanks alooooot

Friendly staff, close to the beach (island is small), nice accomodation, value for money.

It was very clean, small, and really classy.

Having some tea or beverages in the room.

Anything

The room is clean. Staff are helpful.

It's just that the receptionist is a bit difficult to talk to. Some language barriers. The Aircon is located above the headboard and it's noisy. Couldn't sleep that much
