Moonshell Residence

Great place to stay. Nice clean room and good food. Maalhos is a beautiful island. I arrived on a clear sunny day which was a good start to my holiday. Upon arrival I was greeted by the owner Waheed who showed me around the island. The sea was lovely and warm and you can Snorkel directly from the island - so many fish. Thank you to Waheed and team for making my stay a wonderful experience.

I have traveled a lot in my life and this tops everything when it comes to customer service. The service beats 5 star hotels easily. The perfect accommodation for those who want to experience the Maldives for real. This is NO resort, but an authentic hotel on a nice island with friendly locals. The island is charming, clean and with incredibly nice beaches. Had 10 amazing days with my family here. Location on the island is perfect, close to both Manta-point, domestic airport and other things. Unfortunately I can only give Moonshell 5 stars but would have liked to give more. ;-) The owner and his family do everything and a bit more to make you feel comfortable. No question is too small or too big for them to solve! The restaurant belonging to the hotel has a menu that I have rarely seen in even large hotels, tried most on it during our time at the hotel, good!! Locals are often eating at the restaurant. The island have a couple of shops with most things you could need. For those who want to dive, the island has its own Padi center, which is also the one that takes you to the Manta point. At most we estimated about 150!!!! Manta rays on one of our visits, absolutely fantastic. The rooms are new, large, bright and clean with the most common equipment. The local island reef is very good where we saw animals such as: Turtle, reef shark, eagle rays, stingrays, lionfish, moray eels, rockfish to name a few. If you are going to the Maldives and want to discover something more than a resort with a chlorinated pool, Moonshell is a definite must.
