Surf Retreat has everything you need and much more. We enjoyed our stay a lot and would definitely stay there again. They had complimentary snorkel gear and beach towels which is nice. The breakfasts were delicious and also the fresh grilled fish we had for dinner.

I felt that our stay at Simna’s place would be great even before leaving our home. I didn’t communicate with Simna but her husband Shabyr contacted me before we departed to ensure we had everything arranged before getting to the Maldives. We arrived early on a Friday morning and Shabyrs man was at the airport to greet us. He collected our baggage, bought us ferry tickets to Male and got us onto the ferry. Due to the season (it was Ramadan) our early morning speedboat to the island was cancelled. The next one was late in the afternoon. Shabyr arranged 2 rooms in Male for us to rest while waiting for the next speedboat and had his staff look after us while we waited. Once we arrived at Bodufolhudhoo Islsnd, Shabyrs staff met us again and took us to the hotel. The hotel itself is simple, pretty and clean with everything required for a comfortable stay. It’s in the centre of the village so there is ample opportunity to mix with the locals. Monil was our chef and coffee master, Kawser was our housekeeper and Mohamed was our tour guide. These 3 men were absolutely awesome - friendly and always willing to help. The island itself is not large - it can be walked around in about 10mins but it has a great private bikini beach, 2-3 inexpensive restaurants to choose from, convenience stores that sell snacks, drinks and personal hygiene prices if you require that. The reefs around the island are amazing and filled with sea life. I would recommend asking Shabyr about the daily meal package. That worked out very well as there was no need to worry about drinks and food - we just told Monil what we felt like eating and he would cook it fresh. I would highly recommend seeing the Maldives this way. It was inexpensive and we got the chance to meet and learn about local life and people. Shabyr and his team get a high 5 👍🏻

We stayed at the Surf Retreat for 5 nights and we can highly recommend to go to this place. Our room was spotless, super clean and we got clean sheets and (beach)towels every day. The staff is friendly, and are very willing to help when you ask for things. The island of Bodufolhudhoo is a beautiful island, where the local population works hard to keep the island clean. We didn't see any waste, and we heard different stories about other islands in the Maldives. The house coral reef is stunning, there is a nice bikini beach and the guesthouse offers all kind of trips (like snorkeling with manta rays and dolphins or going to a sand bank). The only small downside we can think of is that there are only a few restaurants at the island, all with the same menu, so choices here are limited (The Manta Inn had the best food in our opinion). The owner has indicated that he will offer lunch and dinner in the future.

Celkem klidné místo, čistota na vysoké úrovni a velice vstřícný personál, to je základ spokojené dovolené. Pokoj je velice dobře vybaven a asi nejlepší je velmi pohodlná postel :) jsem velice spokojen a určitě se sem vrátím
