Beautiful little hotel right between the island Main Street and the bikini beach. Both Lackey and David were really helpful and charming. We stayed in the family room and the kids really liked to stay on their own on the loft. Beware of that the stairs are really steep though, so I wouldn’t let small children sleep on their own up there. Speaking of sleep, the beds were really good! Breakfast was ok (ordered the evening before) with a standard selection. The local dishes were really tasty and the fruit platter was generous. Small grocery stores just a few minutes away and the bikini beach approx a five minute walk away. Beach bar Ocula was the best!

The trip from Male to Ukulhas was a bit of a mess since we did not get information about the name of the boat we were booked on. And it was total chaos in Male with a lot of boats coming and going and no information about the destination of them. Since there were only two boats per day we were anxious we’d miss our slot. When I finally called the hotel it was all sorted quickly though.

I loved that we could walk to either side of the island easily, and the water is beautifully clear and warm. Initially we found the swimming was great, early in the morning on the reef with lots of fish and turtles to see. There is great food at Celeste restaurant where we ate excellent Maldivian food and the service was really friendly and helpful. The people at the guest house are really friendly and helpful and it felt very safe. There are several shops on the island which stock everything you need on a beach holiday. We loved wandering around the port where we saw sting rays, nurse sharks and squid.

The main snorkeling beach was unusable at certain points of the day as the jet skis were carving up the beach in a way that was hazardous for swimmers. This was also noisy and polluting for the reefs which are already quite bleached and damaged. We were also surprised at how much building there is going on on this beautiful island which will really change the atmosphere of the local island.

This is an intimate lodge on the island of Ukulhas, with only four rooms, in contrast to many of the bigger box hotels. The room is somewhat spacious, with high ceiling, lots of natural light, and very clean. The electrical and wifi are good, and the AC not bad. A nice breakfast is included with the stay. Mattresses are very comfortable - a rare instance where you actually have a mattress top. Staff is very helpful with any needs you may have.

Beach: The beach is about 2-3 min walk from the hotel. For sunbeds you can ask the manager of the hotel, you will get them from the Coral Villa which is located right next to the beach. Under the palms there are some mosquitos but it´s ok. The water is cristal clear, if you like snorkeling it´s the right place for you but you need to know that the coral reef of the island is mostly dead. Even though you will see different kind of fishes, turtles and small sharks too. Don´t worry, they are harmless! Room: The rooms are exactly like on the photos. Smaller room with large bed. There is a small fridge in the room and your manager will daily give you mineral water. The room has air condition. Food: The food is great. It´s absolutely worth it to book with full board since lunch and dinner you will get in the Celeste, a very good restaurant on the island. Check their menu here before you decide. https://celeste.atollholiday.com/ The offer of the Holiday Haven was, to choose one of the main dishes and one drink, starter or dessert. Good to know: water you will get for free. You can just tell the manager when you want to have the lunch/dinner, what you wanna have and they will prepare so you don´t have to wait too long in the restaurant. I personally found this really great. The breakfast is in the hotel, the manager or Manu will prepare for you. This could be diversified but it´s ok too. Give a try to the maldivian tuna breakfast! Activities: You can talk to your hotel manager, the Captains of the boats are really flexible about the program. Ask them if you wants to combine eg snorkeling with sandbank trip. They will find a solution for sure. We booked once the sandbank trip combined with snorkeling and on another day the manta trip. Both were unforgettable. Usually the make smaller groups. They did not organize large groups so you can enjoy your trip in peace.

Strange was the daily prayer in the morning about 5 am. You will wake up surely coz the mosque is located near to the hotel.

I can recommend this hotel to anyone. Great communication, well-equipped rooms, delicious breakfast (I had the Maldivian one), regular room cleaning including fresh towels. The location is central and quiet. The owner is an interesting, open-minded and chill person who will help you with anything.

The host of the hotel was an excellent guy who provided everything we needed. The room and property itself were also magnificent for such price. We really enjoyed our holiday here because it exceeded all our expectations. We also had a snorkeling activity organized by the host for a fair price. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. Surely, if we're to repeat our trip to Ukulhas, we would stay in Holiday Haven Hotel

Friendly staff, nice breakfast, clean and nice rooms.

Everything is ok. Good place, staff and meal!
