My parents were vacationing in the Maldives for the first time -a dream come true! We stayed at the Ayala Ocean View Hotel on Guli Island from December 18 to December 25, 2025. The cherished dream of flying from winter to summer came true and the impressions exceeded expectations. The hotel is excellent, the atmosphere is warm and sincere, the staff is attentive, responsive, friendly. The food is varied, the portions are huge, meat, fish, chicken, delicious rice, vegetables, fruits (mango, passion fruit, papaya, watermelon, pineapple, oranges, mini bananas). The room is standard, everything you need is there and replenished if necessary. Morning and evening cleaning, cleanliness everywhere. Sun beds and umbrellas are delivered to the beach individually for each person. And I really liked the water aerobics on the shore!Among the water activities there is a banana, a scooter and a car, which we rode and enjoyed. There was a national dance and music program and a fire show in the evening. They also pleasantly surprised me with congratulations on my anniversary and prepared a personalized cake! We would like to thank all the hotel staff for a pleasant stay and attentive attitude!

Good day everyone! We are currently staying at this hotel from 01.04 to 09.04. 2026. We flew by Aeroflot. We were fed three times. Hot dinner, ice cream and pies. Unlimited drinks. They gave me a blanket and slippers. Upon arrival, we waited for our transfer to the island for almost 2 hours. We got there by boat in 40 minutes. There was one stop with passengers boarding. They met us at the marina, picked up our suitcases, and escorted us to the hotel (3 minutes walk). The hotel welcomed a cold drink and wet cold towels. The room was checked in immediately. The room stock is new, clean, everything is working properly. There is a removable watering can in the shower, which is important when taking a shower without shampooing. Available shower gel, shampoo, conditioner. We washed with them, although I always had my own water, but I was satisfied with their quality. Also soap, toothbrushes, a shower cap. Tea, coffee, kettle, safe are also free of charge. Mini bar for an additional fee. There is a price list. The mattress is hard, and the pillows are too hard for me. The air conditioner is good. You can set it up so that you can sleep with it at night (without it in any way). Water is brought to the room twice a day in glass exchange bottles. Therefore, to take water to the beach, you need to have your own plastic one. The Wi-Fi in the hotel and restaurant catches great, it doesn't catch at all on the beach. Keep this in mind for those who need the Internet for work. You can't buy a sim card anywhere on Guli Island. There are no pharmacies or supermarkets, and you can't change the money. Everything must be done upon arrival in Male. There are a couple of very small shops with water, ice cream and chips. Breakfast and dinner buffet. The choice of dishes is very poor, but everything is delicious. A la carte lunch and a great lunch! Sharks and rays arrive at the marina in the evening after dinner. An interesting sight. The beach on the island is one, wide, white sandstone, gentle approach. There is a coral reef about 200 meters from the shore (take corals), where you can see many different fish. The beach is a 3-minute walk away. In general, we are satisfied with the rest. Reasonable price-performance ratio. For budget Maldives, that's the thing. There is no alcohol anywhere on the island. It is forbidden to bring. 20 percent are Russian family tourists, the rest are vacationers from various countries. It is suitable for a relaxing and relaxing holiday.

We stayed from January 8 to January 18 at this hotel. The room is small, without a balcony, with two windows. We lived on the top floor, next to the room there is a huge terrace with a roof overlooking the ocean. The food was great, everything was always different: chicken, tuna (it's delicious here), lots of fruits and vegetables. The room was cleaned twice a day!!! We haven't seen this anywhere else. This is most likely due to the acclimatization of vacationers (a 7-year-old child and her husband, of course, suffered for the first three nights) The road from the hotel to the beach is a 4-minute walk. The ocean is magnificent!!! The color of the water is unreal. The water is warm and calm. It hasn't been stormy for a day. The weather is fine. The sun is burning! SPF 90, we bought it at a local store and it didn't help. They even burned under the chaise longue. There are many stingrays, dolphins, reef sharks, and large crabs. We took all the tours from the local guys. We swam with sharks and rays, watched dolphins, and fished at sunset. Sunsets. It's a fantasy!! I took them off every day. They are extraordinary, colorful, and spectacular. They don 't look like each other . We have left the best impressions in our memory! Maldives is a place where everything is possible and everything comes true!🇲🇻❤️

The hotel is great. It's fresh enough. Everything is as shown in the photo on the web. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The room was cleaned twice a day. The bed linen was changed regularly (changed three times in exactly 9 nights). Bottled water was regularly replenished in the room. The air conditioners in the rooms are very quiet - he worked quietly all night without disturbing. The cafe at the hotel is delicious and varied. We took breakfasts + dinners - buffet (there was enough choice). We had lunch here sometimes (the price tag is average on the island). Beach towels are provided in the room. Sun beds and umbrellas for residents are brought to the beach in the morning. You can rent a snorkel mask and fins for free at the reception. The transfer is provided by the hotel itself – it was quickly and comfortably delivered both from the flight and to the return. We took a Shark Tour at the hotel, and we were very impressed. We congratulated my wife on her Birthday, modestly (decorated the bed and a small cake), but pleasantly. The construction site nearby is already at the stage of interior decoration - practically did not bother. (They were at the end of January 2025) Of the shortcomings, maybe only the water in the shower was running with a weak pressure and was rather heavily regulated.

I liked the hotel. but be prepared to climb 6 flights to the 3rd floor. My room had no balcony, but 2 ocean views from the windows. One window in the shape of a painting . There is a construction site nearby and it breaks the perfect silence. It takes a very long swim to see the corals. I don't know, for example, it's scary alone. In the evening, stingrays and sharks come to the bays. You can lure the fish and bigger fish will come to them. It's fascinating, but I hope they don't swim in the afternoon))))
