    Our bathroom was not good and breakfast was every day the same and quite simple.

    The staff was really nice! It was right at the beach. The restaurant was good.

    What's not mentioned is the extra charge for the buggy that comes from the hotel to pick you up at the docks, even after agreeing to pay we had to wait and tue 6USD per night tax applicable on every night as long as you stay. The charges are nominal charges but they must be mentioned while booking is processed.

    The room was very brightly lit with blue neon lights and had a nice vibe, it was clean and spacious. Value for money because the location is closer to the south beach on the island.

    The property has just opened and definitely has a way to go. Our bathroom had an open window, so all the noise from taking a shower or flushing the toilet could be heard in the common area. Some of the staff are very helpful and kind. The girls from the restaurant are sweet. But, the manager was a bit cold. Almost all of the times he only acknowledged my partner and not me. Which was weird considering I made the booking. Also, there seems to be some inequity in guest treatment. Like when eating at the restaurant as a hotel guest, our neighbours did not have to pay the service tax. However, we had to pay the service tax every time.

    The bed was very comfortable and the location was also good. Near bikini beach. The room was also very clean and there was free drinking water snorkeling gear available.

    The guesthouse is clean and comfortable, with a peaceful island vibe. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help. The location is stunning, just steps from the beach. The Nexus Hub restaurant served delicious food — great taste and good variety. Would definitely love to return for a longer stay!

    The staff tried to accommodate in a downgraded room trying to convince that we shouldn’t look at the pictures of the booking and they do not depict the reality. Meanwhile I payed the higher price for a nicer room with a garden view. The person who was doing check in was unbelievably uncooperative. We a had a very stressful and unpleasant situation with this property and only after official complaint through the platform the situation was managed. I highly recommend stand your ground firmly if they tray to scam you and convince that it is a regular practice. Also no toiletries, no hairdryer even they are mentioned in the description of the property

    Location. Room had a nice view and a balcony

    When i asked help regarding the ferry transfer i was told they don't know this and i should Google it if i need information which i found to be a rather rude answer. In all other guesthouses i got information without any problems. They only have one ferry operating and i think this is something a local person knows very well so i don't understand why they don't want to give this information.

    Great place to stay, directly on the beach. The room was comfy and had everything i needed. There is a water dispenser in the corridor. The restaurant is great, good service and good food. Fair prices. I liked the breakfast too. Would recommend this guesthouse. Kk was nice and helpful, he helped with the luggage and dropped me off to the harbor.

    We are very impressed with this hotel and it exceeded our expansion. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We had very good breakfast and the snorkeling kit/ surfing board and kayak is free to use. Perfect stay!

    I had the most incredible stay here at wave crest. Was my first time in thulusdhoo and the team here really made it meorable for me. Everyone was super friendly and very helpful. My room was filled with light (and i could see the ocean from my window) and the bed was super comfortable. I was a solo traveller and came here to surf and relax so the location was absoloutley perfect as its right next to cokes surf break / close to everything else. The food was super yummy and fresh and i even had the honor to have dinner at the new resturant downstairs with all the locals on one of my last nights there. This place is epic and i can highly reccomend for anyone finding this gem. Its new and has fresh vibe going on. I really loved it. Miss you guys already. Untill next time. Thanks again.
