Ameera Maldives

One of the best guesthouse where I’ve ever been! Very clean and comfortable!! Rooms are cleaned every day! Delicious breaskfast and food! They offer you a lot of amazing activities and show you the best places around the island. The hospitality and kindness is amazing. All the staff and the main Manager Ibrahim show us the beauty of Maldives, culture ad typical dishes! I will never forget this experience! And I will come back for sure !

An incredible value for money choice. Room exceptionally clean and comfortable in every sense (mattress, pillows, seating options, space and awesome shower). Delicious, generous and varied food options alway served with a smile. Reception area charming and typically Maldivian. Varied and amazing choice of excursions appropriate for all the family and all ages. Lovely New year's eve Buffet party and decorations. But, the greatest asset in Ameera is it's staff, starting from the most efficient and helpful Manager Ibrahim, and Farvez the caring and friendly waiter and the reception guy always welcoming. Highly recommended and hope to be back soon!

Our family of four had a delightful time on Dhiffushi Island staying at Ameera for 12 nights. Ibrahim and his super-lovely team were wonderfully kind and incredibly hospitable. The food was very tasty and I really enjoyed the Maldivian breakfast option. We also went on four fun Ameera excursions – snorkelling, dinner on a sand bank, the dolphin trip and the scary but fun swimming with the friendly Nurse Sharks! Highly recommended : ) The picture attached is a few minutes away from Ameera.

We went to Ameera for Christmas Holidays, and landed on 25th Dec at Dhiffushi. We booked this via MakeMyTrip. This is a detailed review of both of them. Since we were arriving from Huraa and there was no direct shared speedboat, we opted for private speedboat at $60/pax. However, the boat that arrived was actually a shared speedboat among two guesthouses - Ameera and Infinity. It was a red flag, but we ignored it. Now coming to the room. We stayed at 101. The room is much smaller (100 sq.ft) than the dimensions mentioned on MMT (183 sq.ft). There was NO WINDOW, NO BALCONY, NO GARDEN VIEW and NO SOUND PROOFING. TINY BATHROOM with - NO TOILETRIES. No dental kit, shower cap or hand soap. Rusted Dustbin. For storage, there is a set of shelves called “open cupboard”. Noises from the power station and desalination plant next door, keep trickling in throughout the night. We could hear other guests yelling throughout the property. BROKEN MATTRESS. Thoughtless and inconvenient wooden aesthetic - irregular pieces jutting out result in frequent toe stubbing. We raised this with MMT immediately. Throughout our stay, they were totally unhelpful. Apparently the owner claimed that since the door has transparent glass, it can be considered as a window 🤣 Well one can jump out of a window, but surely that doesn’t make it a door, does it? MMT was complicit with the property. We have experienced this in the past as well - MMT is terrible at verifying the accuracy of hotel info. Anyway, since we couldn’t get out without losing money, we decided to make the most of our stay. Now let’s talk about the food that people in other reviews have praised so highly. The chef has very limited cooking range. APPALLING dinner on 1st night. The salad looked like someone regurgitated it on the plate. The soup was just boiled tuna in water, and the grilled fish was just whole fish - no fillet, no pan grill, just boiled whole fish with fins, head and tail. Unfortunately we had no choice but to leave the dinner without eating much. There was another Caucasian family having dinner with us who also ate bare minimum and met us for dinner at The Kettle Cafe. Next day onwards, we started ordering “safe” options, which would be hard to mess up. Alas, we weren’t so lucky 😂 The sunny side breakfast had exactly 1 egg and 1 sausage 😆 The chicken noodles were decent along with home made coconut ice cream. When we told the server that the noodles were good, he told us to “finish it then”. The next day, when we asked for Ala Carte, we were told that only buffet would be served. During the lunch buffet, the server asked us if we “understand what is being served” 😳 Throughout our stay, his behaviour was rude and full of jibes like these. It was clear that he thought that we Indians only know spicy food and hence can’t understand the fancy ways of his amazing guesthouse 😂 I am attaching pictures of the menu and the food served. Please see for yourselves the reality of it all. We paid $150

The guesthouse is very well maintained and clean. The staff is super helpful and friendly. They serve wonderful breakfast. The restaurant is also open for lunch and dinner with good meals. Ibrahim is arranging everything possible: he took us on various reefs and private island. On our final day we had to leave the island at 1pm according to the regular speedboat schedule, and went to the beach with the kids one last time. Ibrahim was looking for us all over the island to tell us not to hurry so much: he has arranged a boat for a later, more convenient time. Thank you Ibrahim and Ameera staff, we have had a wonderful time in Dhiffushi. 

Great staff, very responsive, they do not work for money. Good location of the hotel, 1 min walk to the best beach on the island. Great food. we were in another hotel, more expensive, but this hotel is the best. I was struck by the number of towels - 2 for hands, 2 for face, 2 for body.
