Batuta Maldives Surf View

Ok, I'm going to address the improvements this hotel has done based on all the negative things I've seen in the reviews. First I will say that I have lived in Oman for 14 years, so I'm used to the common building standards of the region (especially in regard to bathroom type) and the challenges posed by high humidity. Here goes.... 1. The breakfasts were varied in some way every day, and we requested our eggs made different ways also. 2. We found no mold in our room. 3. The payment when off without a hitch with no overcharging, room-switching, or lack of awareness of said payment on arrival. 4. There were plenty of sun beds. We were always able to snag a couple at the beginning of the day German-style with our towels. 5. The staff were all helpful, from excursion arrangement to cash exchange (dollars to rufiya really helped one employee out). 6. Our windows had locks, and the aircon worked fine. 7. The bed had a nice duvet with a fluffy comforter inside. 8. There weren't umbrellas, but we prefer being under all the trees in front anyway. Better shade. 9. There were soaps and toilet paper on arrival. The room had even been cooled off with the aircon. 10. Reading about communication issues, I contacted them via WhatsApp (from their website) to be sure we would have a ride when we got off the boat. No trouble there. 11. We booked a room with a double bed and a sea view, and we got that room. The room next door to us, though, had two twins pushed together, so we would have been less happy in that room. 12. The shower was fine once you learned how to work it. There's a cold one for rinsing off, and there's one attached to a small water heater; we learned to adjust that heater's dial to the heat level we wanted about halfway through our stay. We really could have just asked.... 13. Our room was cleaned daily, and the towels changed.

The service and breakfast was top of the line

Clean place to stay on the beach, amazing location! Everything was really convenient from taking the boat from the airport to being met by a driver who drops you off at the hotel. Comfortable bed!

Love it, directly at the Beach. Love to have Breakfast @the Beach, Pick up from the Airport worked out really well, helpful stuff, all together good vibe there. Would go there again.

First of all, the staff were absolutely amazing and could not do more for you, so friendly and welcoming! The location is perfect, it’s directly on the beach and has lots of seating areas available on the beach such as sun loungers, sofas and swings. The property is also nearby to good restaurants and the trips from here are really really good. The breakfast provided is also lovely, really recommend this guest house:)
