10/10 Travelling family with one small child. This hotel is excellent for everything,however please be aware this is in a PUBLIC area. This means no swim-wear allowed. There is no Bikini Beach area as it is under construction at the time of our stay. The beach is very dirty. I wish it would be cleaned more often. This hotel must only be visited in conjunction with trips to other islands to get the true Maldeves experience.

I had the most horrible experience at this place!!! Hugely priced!!! Better options nearby! No room is near the beach even though they boost "beachfront" in the description. Indeed, "beach view" is NOT "beachfront". I was robbed of an entire weekend, having to deal with unscrupulous and non-cooperating staff who would tell different stories ("lies") about their manager being unavailable!! Know that if you ever have a legitimate issue with their hotel, you will NEVER be able to speak with the manager. They just take your money and don't care about your experience as a customer. First, they wouldn't agree to offer a partial refund after I decided to cancel my booking upon arrival and finding out that their room was in no way quiet (in middle of downtown) nor beachfront. The partial refund was right under expedia rules BUT they kept me for 5 hours before agreeing to it. Up until now, 1 week later, they still haven't processed anything and the total charge appears on my card. I escalated the issue to expedia which is also extremely poor in handling the situation!!! Now I am left with a deficit of cad 400, a totally ruined weekend plan, and additional costs bared to return to my original place of stay. I have told them they should now process a TOTAL refund based on the circumstances! Such an awful experience shouldn't occur to people when there is clearly misleading information on the hotel room description and total lack of understanding of expedia rules from hotel staff!

The location of the hotel and the decor of the hotel as well as cleanliness is very good. If my room was a Deluxe Std. Rm, I wonder how a Std. Rm. could be on a lower level of quality. I don't think my rm. was really a Deluxe rm. That being said, the decor and amenities of the room are good. The staff are very friendly. Upon check-in, it had been stated that we prob. would be upgraded to a dif. rm. since we were staying more than one night, but that never happened, even when we inquired again. Breakfast was only served on the beach on the last of our 3 mornings; that was disappointing. Only a breakfast buffet on that day. Food was not a high quality; definitely disagree with other comment that said it was 5 * meals--not so at all.

The people there were very nice and friendly. Our room was cleaned every day and the place as a whole was great and located by the beach and around a lot restaurants. We stayed here for three nights on our way to another island. This is perfect for a small like stop over before going somewhere else. The thing about Male is it’s very conservative and there isn’t much to do but that’s not Island Beach Houses fault. They treated us very well and we appreciated their services :)

Stopover stay
The room is extremely small for the price we paid, and wasn’t tally with what I saw from website, glad that the staff willing change to a slightly bigger room after we feedback. I am not sure if this a 4 stars accommodation, no tooth brush set, tissue provided and WiFi is unstable..I thought this is rather basic for a 4 stars rating. Nothing much nearby, mainly just for stopover..

BEAUTIFUL RELAXING ISLAND, OUTSTANDING SERVICE.
It’s like a hidden Oasis, sun, sand and warm crystal blue sea to swim. Paddle boarding, kayaks, banana boat and JetSki’s are available.. Island Beach House has a great beach hut to have breakfast, lunch or dinner on the foreshore - with a lovely breeze to keeps you cool, with a good book to read.. Nasha, Firu and Laya arranged a surprise Romantic dinner on the beach front.. lovely memories.. Nothing was too much trouble, we were made to feel very welcome and valued.. Nexr year we will be back to stay in a ocean view room for one month.. Thanks to Nasha, Firu and Laya for a wonderful getaway

Great location - handy to airport and beach
I chose this hotel because I was visiting Male on business focused on the airport and did not want the hassle of taking 2x suitcases via water taxi to the main island/city of Male. (This aspect of visiting Male has just been removed by the opening of a road bridge across the harbour!). The hotel is in a great location if you are in transit for a day or two or you have business at the airport. Also, if you are not on a 'resort vacation' but do want to have access to the water and to exploring the various islands by means of the daily hire of locals with boats, then this hotel is superb. Clean, very friendly, on a quiet street and at the edge of the ocean (a small lagoon sheltered by a reef). Note: this is not a 'swimming' beach as the water is only knee-deep. Wi-Fi was free but reception was often very slow - apparently, this is to be fixed. Easy access to bus transportation. The whole area is very easy to walk around ad there are small supermarkets/corner stores within a 5-minute walk. Thoroughly recommended!
