Overall Ratings & Reviews Biyadhoo Island Resort

Excellent friendly staff superb reef.

The existing riff on the island is beautiful and the stuff is polite and gives us a great holiday feeling. The insects are a bit annoying just because even some defenders won’t help, but that’s something we can handle. All in all it’s a beautiful vacation which is mostly related to the wonderful stuff on the island

Beautiful island, extremely friendly and helpful staff, excellent food

Such an amazing place and bunch of people, I didin't want to leave!:-)

Amazing stay! Management, restaurant and water sports people were super helpful and nice. Highly recommend it for a family vacation

They have made our honeymoon the most amazing everything. Decided to stay a extra week.

Staff was great, top Reef

The tranquillity of the island and staff were very friendly. The toilet and shower facilities need a bit of updating.

It was an amazing holiday with a great reef and very nice staff. The resort has a nice white sandy beach and the reef fish is very close even if you are not a good swimmer you can arrive to the reef very easy.

Very friendly, fantastic staff and a great house reef. Rooms are a bit tired but bed very comfortable. Food is varied. All inclusive drinks are good. Beach and footpaths are well maintained. A number of guests left belongings on sun beds all day and overnight, which was very frustrating as there are not enough beds. Hopefully management will prevent this practice in future.

If you want luxury you wont find it here. If you want excellent food and drinks, not here either. What you will get is really beautiful reef, wild jungle-like vegetation, nice secluded spots on the beach, friendly staff that tries really hard to make your stay enjoyable.. We really enjoyed the island for its reef.. In the first day of snorkeing we saw two black tip sharks, two turtles and four eagle rays.. and more fish then anywhere. The corals are broken and bleached, but thats all of Maldives unfortunately.. The island has also flying foxes and coconut crabs.. When we were walking to the beach or to the hotel the gardeners gave our kids coconuts right from the palms and opened them up for them.. more than once.. really refreshing! The island is generally clean, but the buildings are run down, paint is peeling of the walls and fences etc.. The room was spacious, but basically equipped, everything we needed, though. The food was average, sometimes good, but the staff is really friendly.. Overall our experience was excellent, great value for money spent. If you like snorkeling and wild nature i highly recommend it, if you want luxurious water villas like you've seen on instagram photos, this island is not for you..

I had a very bad experience with this resort, I wouldn’t recommend it at all. The staff at the reception was extremely unpleasant, and arrogant. The front desk manager asked us an extra $300 on our arrival, which was never mentioned on the hotel.com website. We had even called the day before to make sure no extra fees would be added to the amount of money I had already paid, since I saw many tourists had already faced the same problem. The reception certified we would not have to add any extra fees. On our arrival, they denied everything. The front desk manager wouldn’t let me and my family enter the resort or access to our room. He made us wait in the reception room for 2 hours, and didn’t want to let us in, unless we paid $300 extra. As we didn’t want to, we had to call a private speed boat to end up on another local island, and find a new hotel. In short, our day was ruined, and along with that our family vacation. My family was extremely upset, and so was I since it was supposed to be a special family trip to the beautiful Maldives. As we didn’t stay in the resort, I do hope that hotel.com will refund my money. As we didn’t stay in the resort, i can’t review the cleanliness, comfort and local area hence the neutral mark.

Nice beach, nice water, good service. Basic accommodations.

That was a bad experience. This hotel is at best 2.5 stars, but Hotels/Expedia market it as 4.5 stars (which is preposterous). We booked for 2 days, but left after 1 night. I feel bad for the staff, they were trying hard and as we learned to expect from other Maldivian hosts, they can always keep their smile. However the property is run down and there is nothing they can do. Another point of contention was the hotel charged us US$200 for arriving there through our own privately hired means. On the way out, we complained and they returned the money. Of course, charging for it in the first place set a bad tone to the visit.

The thing that makes this resort good is the staff who are friendly, efficient and very attentive especially the bar staff and waiters. The grounds are well maintained and the beach is clean and not overcrowded. The very best thing about Biyadhoo is the reef which is fantastic, excellent snorkelling with loads of fish including Sharks, Rays and Turtles

The island is gorgeous. The reef is lovely to snorkel. The rooms could use a remodel. The bathroom had gnats and was very damp, it really needed a fan. But you're not there for the bathroom. And it was sufficiently functional.

The Island was very clean and well maintained and the Staff were very pleasant. The Full Board doesn't even include water with your meals. Paying for water when you have a meal plan is silly. The snorkeling was very good but the Robinson tour, which I was told was about snorkeling had very little snorkeling involved. The speedboat was very expensive for a short trip. Nice Island but the guest house houses I stayed at later were a much better value

Perfect stay on an unspoilt island. Lovely big room with beach front balcony. Incredible house reef, stunning beaches and serenely peaceful. No TV but not an issue. Wifi intermittent but who cares nice to be away from everything. Wonderful candle lit dinner on the beach. Wouldn't change a thing. Hope to return.

Beautiful Island with great accommodation (although the bed was a bit hard). The-staff were friendly and helpful. The air temperature and the water temperature were just perfect for long snorkeling sessions. There was an abundance of fish-life, turtle, octopus,and Moray but the reef was not in good shape. A large majority of the coral in the Home Reef was structurally there for fish protection but was unfortunately dead. The Manta snorkel was spectacular and we swam with 3 Manta in very close encounters and we swam with a large pod of Dolphin. We were there in January 2018. The water was magically cean and clear blue.

The rooms are maintained well but needs few more amenities like a fan, TV for entertainment and particularly wifi. WiFi if available across the island would be very helpful which is currently available only in reception and restaurant areas and the quality of the connectivity is very bad when everyone access it. The food could be improved a little bit as the deserts served are not so pleasing as it is repeated between the meals on the same day.
