    The hotel seems outdated already. Not what I was expecting.

    Convenient location beach front, but not a lot of shops on the street, seemed like a lot of places were closed.

    Bathroom very tired looking/ breakfast chicken sandwich and sausage was interesting!

    Great location for one night. The staff were lovely and friendly. Room- slightly tired looking giving spaceship 🚀 vibes. The view in the morning was lovely. Breakfast questionable. It was what we needed for the price we payed for one night.

    Nothing I disliked

    For a short 3 day stay in the city the property was worth its value I don’t have anything bad to say about my stay bed was super comfortable and clean I slept very well being jet lagged the balcony opened to the see capturing the most beautiful sunsets 3rd floor the neon lights brought a warm vibe staff was polite professional kept to themselves which I like privacy so this was nice for me right in the middle of both ends making it walkable and easy access The staff was accommodating made a simple but delicious breakfast They picked me up and dropped me off to the airport helping for a stress free check in early bird arrival which was a bonus I would stay again

    The room could be cleaner.

    The stay was OK. They have an airport shuttle to the airport and back, their vehicle was out off service, but they have sent the member of their staff to the airport and he took us to the hotel with taxi. We paid 10 $ each way in the hotel not to the taxi driver, they covered the price of the taxi. The taxi would have been more expesive.

    To start the shower you have to pull the system on the wall down which is hard to figure out by yourself but with support of the helpful staff it was sorted out very quickly

    This was my first time at Vista Beach Retreat but I live and work in the Maldives and styed in quite a few other guest houses and Vista Beach was really another level. Very helpful, friendly and trustable staff, the room was not big but all the amenities were there, very good matrass, spacious bathroom, very clean, there was even a small smoking balcony which is very convenient for smokers. Location on the waterfront and very close to the center is ideal! Will certainly book there next time when I have to stay over in Hulhumale.

    The rooms are rather basic and dated, also cleanliness (especially in the bathroom) is clearly not a priority.

    It‘s close to the airport and directly near the beach so it’s a good option for a one-night-stay before leaving

    The beach and is lovely - but it’s a local public beach and NOT for sunbathing. No loungers and bikinis not allowed. You need to be fully clothed. Not a problem for us as we knew about it but need to be aware. There are no local options for pools or beach loungers around at all.

    Great location and convenient for a night near the airport. Lovely large room with fridge and kettle and good sized shower. Staff are really helpful - arranged a last minute airport pick up even though I contacted them very short notice to ask if it was ok. Beautiful location on the beach front. I think the sea view room is worth the slight extra cost just I look over the beach.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the hotel and appreciated the excellent service, comfortable accommodations, and delightful amenities, THAT we couldn't think of anything we didn't like.

    I like the location, cleanliness, the friendliness of the staff , and the privacy we got is very appreciated. We like the cafe area down in the ground floor. Staffs were always around and listening and very attentive. Its very relaxing to see the Happy staffs around made the place more convenient to stay. Specially Appreciated even though we are locals staying they did not differentiate with foreigners and locals, what service they to others was given to us also.

    The breakfast was ok but not great. The location could do with a bit of TLC. It could be made absolutely beautiful but there was litter all over and the seats on the beach needed repairing.

    The staff were excellent. The location is great for the airport The room was comfortable and had a nice view of the beach.

    The breakfast was ok but could have been better. Facilities stated tea and coffee in the room but we only had coffee. When we made the staff aware, they sorted it straight away. The locals are missing a trick with the surroundings. If the beach was kept clean and litter picked and better maintained roads/pavements people would probably stay longer but it currently lacks the wow appeal that it could have.

    The staff were excellent and they went above and beyond. The room was nice and clean. The bed was very comfortable. Air-conditioning was much needed. Bathroom was nice. Nice view and good restaurants / shops close by. Great location for the airport.

    The beach is nice but alot of dead coral so must wear them water shoes and I didn't have them. Walking around the place is on a dirty side, rubbish everywhere and many empty plastic bottles floating around the ferry terminal. I ordered a fish and chips at the hotel and asked for it to be on a softer side and I don't even know what I got. Black, thin hard and chips hard and unetable. Just give this island a Miss. Don't even bother.

    Staff were really great and helpful. The location is excellent just across the street from the beach. Had a nice walk around Hulhumale.
