Be aware, Bad Points - despite the Expedia listing that facilities included the use of water sports activities such as kayaks etc are part of the all inclusive package this turned out to be untrue with a kayak being charged at $50 an hour. The return airport transfer was dangerous as the hotel sent us out in a sub standard boat into a storm which resulted in us returning to the resort after 55 minutes at sea, after taking on too much water. Passengers were sick and crying, fearing for their lives. The management team were very poor at communicating on our return and in their words sent us out “on a bigger boat and a captain that knew what he was doing”. After finally arriving at Male Airport we were soaking wet and so was all our luggage and stinking of diesel from the first boats engines. Annoyingly the customer service team appear to be from the same group as they have failed to respond to our concerns about guest safety. We stayed in an Ocean view superior room but the bathroom was dated compared to other rooms we saw. Good points - service staff are great, special mentions to Shifaau, Raishan, Shareef, Azmoon, Iqbal and Akrum in the restaurants. They looked after us throughout our stay. The Spa and the lady’s there were lovely. Snorkelling on your doorstep is some of the best we had experienced.

What is there to say about this property. Whilst staying here for a week of vacation I was made to feel at home by the most amazing staff I have ever come across on my travels. It started with Gehani, who welcomed my partner and I to the island, and made every request we had to her come through. She was one of the most helpful and genuinely caring persons we met who helped make us feel at home at this resort. Also, sucil and leem went above and beyond to always ensure our needs were met and that anything we asked for was available to us. The food was amazing every single day and we particularly liked chef sanjewa who always provided quality meals. Additinally, moosa helped make our stay within our villa always magical with his birthday and honeymoon celebratory creations. Whilst the staff were amazing and created a truly enjoyable stay, I cannot even begin to talk about the reef which surrounds this island. I’ve snorkeled many places around the world and this was truly the most beautiful, vibrant and alive reef with thousands of fish, sharks, and rays we’ve ever seen. I was truly astounded and loved that the staff continue to make every attempt to protect the reef. I will recommend this resort to anyone who loved snorkeling and diving and who really enjoys being a part of a family because the staff at this resort truly make you feel at home.

Overall the property is well kept. The water bungalow is nice and clean. One of best snorkeling in the Maldives. It's quite and relaxing. If you're looking for a lot of entertainment then this is not your place. There're only two restaurants. Food options were not great. I give it a two stars on the way the food was prepared. Not very tasty. I would not pick this resort if you are a foodie person. Some staff are not very friendly.

Absolutely outstanding week in a water bungalow. Excellent staff and service, facilities, food and could not have had a more brilliant time. It is a magical island and surrounded by unbelievably beautiful incredible sea life. Could not recommend more highly. Susil and Aalif in the outdoor dining, Schoag our room attendant, Shareef at the pool restaurant and Dinnusha the pool lady .... were all especially 5*****!

Everything was handled very smoothly the staff were very friendly and helpful. It's looking old and tired needs a face lift the seating at the bar area is very dirty and grubby it should be washed on a weekly basis and the entertainment left a lot to be desired it's was depressing and extremely down beat most people are there to celebrate something special so the music should be up beat and happy.

Best vacation I have ever been on. By the end of our stay the staff felt more like family. I was left in tears when it was time to leave. The most beautiful place I have ever visited. The house reef is amazing with plenty of wild life- sharks, turtles, manta rays, sting rays, thousand of tropical fish. Hands down best vacation ever. Thank you to everyone at Ellaidhoo ❤️❤️❤️

We chose Ellaidhoo Maldives for several reasons, including proximity to Male, amenities, value for the money, and because the “house reef” is one of the best in the Maldives. The resort didn’t disappoint. The diving is amazing and facilities are terrific, but we were also most impressed by the staff. Andrea made sure our transportation was all set and also helped us throughout the week. Nirmala led a most wonderful sunrise yoga class that was truly special. Kamul made sure our waterfront bungalow was kept beautiful but also helped us with our laundry and other needs. I could go on and on but we are truly happy we came here and highly recommend this resort. I’ll add that Haran made us a terrific custom salad daily for lunch and Darshika helped with special food made for my wife and Vigula helped with special gluten free food.
