Shopping Hotels in North Ari Atoll

"The Hard Rock Hotel is great. Clean, with natural beauty, and cheerful staff. The only hiccup is when we got there, late in the day, the dining options seemed to be limited, and the hotel app, was kinda clunky, with restaurant bookings. I was frustrated. We had not eaten since before noon and we were not too happy about the general lack of immediate food. Every restaurant seemed to require reservations, and the app was, as I said, clunky. I walked to reception and kindly asked if we could order a Red Cross emergency food drop by helicopter outside our bungalow. The nice guy there got us in at the Hard Rock restaurant without reservations. It all turned out well and we were soon happy. Everything else at the hotel afterwards was great, when we got into the swing of things. It’s a really nice place indeed. If you have a midnight flight out from Male, consider visiting the city of Male in the late afternoon. Yes, the city is a dump, but it does have its own little charm. The people there are really great. I had motorcyclists stop in the middle of the road for fear they would ruin a picture I was taking. Extremely nice people indeed. Walk around the fish and vegetable market and pick up some snacks. Overall it was worth the quick visit. There is also a mosque made of coral in Male. Worth a look. We couldn’t go in because it was some sort of Muslim holiday or something. We took a taxi from the airport to town and another taxi back again. We had fun with this little excursion. "

"From the start very friendly helpful staff. Although the hotel was fully booked it never felt crowded. Rooms in very good condition (Premium Villas) and just a lovely place to stay. Special thanks to Shaamil in the Sunset bar and the buffet dining area: very friendly, helpful and nothing too much trouble!"

"Customer service was amazing, everyone was extremely nice and helpful. The island is amazing. The prices for food are a little pricey but it is a resort. Book excursions early some fill up fast. I stayed in the water villa, absolutely beautiful, breathtaking views. I recommend the photoshoot as well, photos came out really nice. "

"Staff were so friendly and helpful. Food was lovely. Right on the beach!"

"My wife and I went to the resort for our honeymoon and was an experience to remember. Your expectations of Maldives are that of a screen saver but in person it was 100 times better, the clear warm waters, the marine life, staff, food there wasn’t anything more we could of asked for. Jau in the main restaurant was so caring of our every need and gave us recommendations daily of what to do. Abhi - in the bar was so attentive and put a smile on our face when we saw he was working Harish was amazing as the beach Dj Babu was always happy to see us at the view bar and was quick to come and chat and give us recommendations Arif - our favourite on the island, so friendly and we cannot wait to make the trip back to see the island again and the staff Thank you "
