Great hotel on a quiet island with wonderful beach

We started our Maldives holiday with a visit to Guhli Island (small local fisherman idland) staying at Ayala. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we were looked after very well. The hotel is very nice on a very quiet island with a beautiful beach. We had free designated sun loungers in a prime spot on Bakini beach. We chose half board, but we found outselves drawn back for all other meals because the food was so good. We would love to go back and visit again one day.

Relaxing Island holiday

Amazing experience! Gulhi is a beautiful small island and Ayala Ocean view is located beautifully just a minutes walk from the jetty. From connecting with us prior to our arrival to dropping us off at the airport and everything in between was well coordinate — the staff and management were absolutely the friendliest, supporting and most caring. This hotel opened up only a few months ago, the facility is clean, wi-fi is good and overall safe for single or group travelers. The bikini beach is only a minutes walk from the hotel and if you ask, the hotel will also give a free snorkeling gears. Also, if you need to get your PCR test done, there’s a hospital within the island, if you inform the hotel reception they will coordinate and help You get the test done. Gulhi is inhabited by laid back and welcoming locals. You can walk around the island uninterrupted. We would recommend Gulhi for solo, group or family travel. Overall this has been one of our best travel experiences so far.

Disliked: Amenities
I was quite surprised by the positive reviews I read, but after staying at Ayala, I can confidently state that they are mostly paid/fake Pros: - Gulhi is not far from Male, quick to get to, speedboat service working fine - Beach is near the hotel - Sunbed/umbrellas available - Excursions Cons: - booked a room for 3, turned out to be a regular room for 2 with a cot near the bed. Rooms itself is very small, so making 3 people stay there is inhumane. Cot had no mattress on it, felt like sleeping on the floor - rooms get 'cleaned' twice a day, but they hardly replace sheets and provide fresh towels only once a week. They don't take out the used/dirty towels. Floor is not being cleaned - no robes, no slippers. Problems with hot water, very hard to regulate the temperature and water in the shower constantly and randomly goes from hot to cold. Hot water also smells unpleasant. TV in the room is basically useless: not set up, does not connect to internet - no variety in breakfast, always the same. Dinners differ, but overall food quality is average. Shortage of deserts and, especially, fruits, which is quite disappointing. - waiters seem to take care only of the big families staying in, they set up tables for them in advance and no one is allowed to use that area. Should be constantly reminded to proved basic stuff like tissues. Staff may also confuse you with false promises (eg. promised to provide robes, mattress, turned out to not have those) Wouldn't stay here the second time

Our stay at Ayala Ocean View was superb! We stayed for 4 nights and were so sad to leave! The food was great, rooms were incredibly clean (and also cleaned twice a day!) and spa was so lovely. The staff are incredibly friendly and couldn't do enough for us - they organised sun beds for us on the beach, lent us snorkel equipment and even let us shower in a spare room after we had checked out. Would not hesitate to recommend!

Hotel with loads of potential but few mistakes

Rooms are beautifully decorated and spacious, however, I booked a superior room and got an interior room with views to a 1spm patio with all aircon engines. When asked for a change, they told me it was not available. Breakfast was basic but nice and tasty, as well as dinners. On check out I was asked by a gentleman to pay for the room and meals, yet everything was already paid for.. I did not mind, yet I found it very unprofessional. Sundbeds at 'bikini beach' are def a plus.

Bellissimo hotel su un'isola dei pescatori, confortevole, pulitissimo: il ragazzo rassetta la camera 2 volte al giorno; il cibo molto buono. La spiaggia vicina comoda da raggiungere, con un mare stupendo, tipico delle Maldive. È stata una bella vacanza rilassante, l'isola si può girare tutta a piedi, con la massima tranquillità, i maldiviani sono persone eccezionali.

Terrible

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights only but it felt like 2 weeks. The room was dirty and the view terrible. There are so much constructions going on around the island and its very limited things to do. Beach area was OK, but nothing special. Some of the staff members were really helpful, but others the opposite. We were given incorrectly information by the reception multiple times causing our plans to crash. There were huge insects in the room coming from the washroom. No warm water at the beginning, so staff had to fix it. The electricity dissapeared out of the blue(only in our room), so the staff had to fix it.

I had a great three night stay at Ayala Ocean View. The room was spotless, spacious, bright, and everything worked! Also very quiet for a peaceful night's sleep. Nice views from my top floor room and patio outside. The staff were kind, attentive, and respectful. The shower was a bit fickle--alternating unpredictability between cold and scalding hot, but this was just a small inconvenience.
