This hotel will stay in our memories for years to come. We travel extensively and have seen many hotels along the way, but this one is truly memorable. - Communication with Raphael was easy and timely. All necessary information was provided quickly and in detail. The meeting with Raphael was extraordinary: he told us the story of the island, its attractions, and much more, including interesting details. - The organization was convenient, and most importantly, the prices were affordable, especially compared to the prices on other islands and the cost of airport transfers. - The rooms were a haven of modern decor, exuding a sense of freshness, tidiness, and order. The pleasant scent that always greeted us added to the feeling of comfort. Our beds, adorned with flowers, were a testament to the hotel's attention to detail and commitment. - Everything was well thought out down to the smallest details: from beach towels, always ready and clean, to daily excursions, such as snorkeling with sharks and turtles and observing stunning underwater landscapes with colorful fish, and night and morning fishing. Everything was at hand, from swimming equipment to boats and service staff. - And, of course, the excellent chef! The food was always varied and delightful! And if you're lucky enough to catch fish, the next day, you can enjoy your catch or order something exotic – like sashimi from your own catch. The superb sauces and exquisite preparation added a unique taste to the already superb selection of dishes. We left this hotel with a nostalgic feeling—as if we were leaving our home, where we always wanted to return and where we were always welcomed with joy! A huge thank you for your hospitality!

Everything was perfect!

After a horrible experience in Maafushi (high rise buildings, constant construction noise, overcrowded) we really enjoyed our stay in calm & welcoming Felidhoo. Great place for relaxing, amazing snorkeling experience (loved that Alimas provides beach towels and the snorkeling equipment without charges). What the reviews say is true: the staff is truly sweet. So are the locals. The hotel is extremely neat, they have a good eye for details.Would love to come back!

The mosque is fairly loud, early in the morning and throughout the day. I missed more variety at breakfast also, during 5 days it was fairly the same.

Outstanding Hospitality We spent one week on the wonderful island of Felidhoo, and as an experienced travelers we can confidently say that we managed to book the best stay in Felidhoo. We have received a very warm welcome,when we arrived to the island with the speedy boat.The manager of the hotel Rafeeu was right there waiting for us. At the hotel, we were greeted by the wonderful staff with wet face towels and mocktails, which was very nice after the 26 hours journey. Then we received all the important information about the hotel and the island also. The hotel is only few minutes walk from the bikini beach and is located directly at the pier. We had a very big room with 2 balconies with see views on the third Floor. The room has everything what you need for comfort (super comfy bed, bathrobes, slippers, toiletries,minibar, 2 liter of bottled water/day,tea,coffee and a big smart TV). The room was cleaned every day. The food is very tasty and the service in Alimas is outstanding. The hotel itself organise various types of trip on a very good price. Felidhoo has everything what you need for a perfect relaxing holiday. The people on the island are very kind and friendly. Huge thank you for Rafeeu, Fahar and the whole team to being so kind and helpful to make our first experience in the Maldives incredible. We recommend this place with all our heart.

We had amazing 3 days at alimas! The clean, tidy hotel with their friendly employees definitely exeed our expectations. The food was also great! We would definitely come again!

Next to the Hotel is a mosque and the prayers start at 4:40am which woke us up every day. This is something you should probably know.

Guys, have been here several times already. Best index is that nowadays Alimas is always almost fully booked - people are coming and enjoying a lot. Comparing to other local islands nearby - Felidhoo is still locally charming. Not overcrowded 🙏 You can enjoy the food, all activities and hospitality of the whole team. New bikini beach is on the way to be built.

Literally everything was perfect 1. Amazing host, manager Rafeeu and his whole team. I was greeted with warm hospitality and exceptional customer service from the moment I arrived. Rafeeu and his smiling fantastic staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. 2. Exceptionally delicious food, cooked and nicely arranged on the plate by Dilantha, the accomplished Sri Lankan chef cook. The very tasty New Year Eve gala dinner was outstanding, worth of a 5* hotel. 3. Well organised transfers from airport to Felidhoo and back. 4. Very clean, well equipped, spacious rooms. 5. Large variety of excursions and activities at very decent price (swimming with nurse sharks, shipwreck snorkeling, two reef snorkeling, sunbathing on a sand bank, island hopping, picknick on a deserted island, among others) . 6. Beautiful, interesting island with friendly, lovely locals. 7. Nice Bikini beach and home reef for snorkeling. Special thanks to Rafeeu for a wonderful vacation, to Hassan for guiding us underwater and for his amazing underwater videos, to the boat captains and crew for sailing us safely to the snorkeling spots or islands, to chef cook, Dilantha, for feeding us so well, to Fahar and Pradeep (who took care of me at every meal), to the 2 young cleaning boys for carrying the luggage and taking care of the room. I will back again soon and definitely recommend Alimas.

Having to say goodbye to this paradise place

We were delighted to have an affordable way to enjoy the Maldives without sacrificing comfort. This hotel really punches above its weight in terms of value for money. The friendly and competent staff function flawlessly as a team, giving every guest the feeling of being cared for. Snorkeling in the area, despite Tsunami damage and recent coral bleaching events, remains very good, with lots of different kinds of fish. The pier in front of the hotel where you can see nurse sharks and rays at night is a very special experience. We appreciated receiving a free upgrade to a larger room. The island has a very well stocked pharmacy with helpful staff.

Some of the guests stood and walked on the reefs— not a good thing when a fragile ecosystem is struggling to survive. Possibly the hotel could offer a little orientation to help preserve this precious resource. The sink and shower in our room are in need of a little maintenance

We liked almost everything about this hotel. Our room was spacious, cleaning was carried out every day. The hotel chef from Sri Lanka cooked delicious and beautiful food. A good local reef is located near the beach with convenient access. We went on several wonderful excursions - swimming with nurse sharks, shipwreck snorkeling, Cinnamon resort and 2 local islands - everything was perfectly organized. Thanks to Rafeeu for a great vacation.

1. Would like the hotel to have a coffee machine. 2. Sometimes there was a smell of smoke from burning garbage, but this is the trouble of all Maldivian local islands.

It was my second holiday in Maldives and first time on an island with locals. I enjoyed 10 times more this experience than my first one. Everything was better than expected. We had such a wonderful time at Alimas. The rooms are spacious and cleaned every day. all the staff is amazing , they all are already missed. They paid attention for every detail for us to feel comfortable. the food is delicious , thank you chef for our amazing meals and for the lobster night. Thank you Hussain for the amazing boat trips and all the stories about Maldivian life, people like you keep Maldives alive and beautiful! Thanks to all the locals for making our staying wonderful. Just few steps away there is the bikini beach with sun beds. everyday Alimas took care for us to have clean beach towels and equipment for snorkeling. We were a big group of friends and divided in different accommodation on the island and they were very disappointed about their guesthouse bad management so we were so lucky staying at Alimas and having Raffael as manager and taking care of everything. I definitely recommend Alimas!

we wishwd to stay longer
