Dhawa Ihuru by Banyan Tree

It was so good. I would go back if I had the chance. The facilities, the ocean, the staff, and the service were all great. It was a choice I have no regrets about.

The natural environment of the hotel is very good and suitable for snorkeling. It is a very friendly and low-key island, more suitable for family travel. It’s not far from Male, and it takes 20 minutes to get to the island by speedboat.

Our family often comes to Maldives and stayed here for five nights. Let's talk about the good and bad objectively. Good: 1) There is a Malaysian lady at the front desk who can speak Chinese, and she can serve Chinese families who are not good at English very well and in a timely manner. The lady's surname is wong, and she is very patient and meticulous, but sometimes she is on the morning shift and can't find her at night. 2) The overall quality of the service staff on the island is OK. They are polite and always greet you. Hary, the general manager of the island, is probably a Singaporean? The person who is fluent in English is very kind, and he also pays attention to the preferences and opinions of customers. He said that if Chinese people are not used to eating meals, they can ask the chef to cook some Chinese dishes. 3) The state of snorkeling is OK. We were lucky to see sea turtles, many nurse sharks and a few clusters of living corals. Because the island is very small, there are five water inlets for a detour. It takes about three days to finish watching it. After a few days, I have no interest in going into the water, and there is nothing new. And in the off-season, it is windy, waves, heavy rain and mixed water, and there will be big waves and choking water, or you will come up without seeing anything. Oh, by the way, there is a very lonely heron wandering around on this island, and many children went to take a group photo. bad: 1) Hygiene is a big issue! Our family has been to the Maldives three times. Among the mosquito bites this time, cockroaches and ants are the most. Other islands do not seem to be like this. Our family has 15+ mosquito bites and it is extremely itchy. There is mosquito repellent liquid inserted in the room but it is ineffective, and there are several cockroaches after spraying the mosquito spray. 2) We chose the all-inclusive three-board drink, the breakfast is almost the same every day, and the lunch and dinner are also extremely repetitive. Maybe other friends can try to order food, there are options such as burgers and bento boxes. If it is all inclusive, it must be very tired to eat for three days. 3) The snorkeling tubes, masks, flippers, and life jackets provided by the diving center for free are of poor quality. And the banana boats on other islands are free to play. Here, it costs 40 US dollars for 15 minutes. The price of going to sea is also high and his dive guide's English is not very good. 4) The sister island Banyan Tree and Dhawa are very similar. They are both small islands with almost the same beach style, and the shuffle boat runs every two hours, which means that I went to Banyan Tree and walked around for ten minutes, and then I had to wait. 1h45 back to your own island. 5) The room was not cleaned in a timely manner, and the sheets hadn't been changed for five days, why should a tropical island be changed every two days! It’s just that the waiter makes the bed a little bit every day... The toothbrushes given are not timely or not enough, and the waiter’s English is very plastic.
