Sands Grand Hotel

I have to say I was sceptical that we choose 4*. In my opinion it was clearly 4*+. We were delighted by the hotel and most importantly restaurant. Service (Thuwan and sorry I dont know the name of the girl) in restaurant was very professional. Hand behind the back and very polite behavior. Love it! And the kitchen did very good job in cooking and I wanted to take him home :) . Next thing, manager of the hotel Shaheen is very good person and dealt with a small issue we had with speedboat and tried to fix it himself (he was not obligated to do that). He was also very well informed and very educated, so it was very easy to speak with him about anything and he also made time for us for a small talk. Yoosuf is very good young man with very good personality and he is a very good trip guy there. He knows everything literally and if he does not, he will find it as soon and possible and learn it. The only thing I have to say are mosquitos (not the issue of hotel) and the electricity. It has some weird behaviour, but not a deal breaker. Rooms are very clean although I would change toilets and showers. This is why I put 4*. This can be done easily and I think they will get it done very soon :) If I could I would go there again since this hotel and island is a paradise and I got in love with this place :)

We didn't like much the hotel as all. Clearly is not a 4 stars hotel. The reception was empty most of time when we needed. The bed was a bit tough as well. But Irufaan is a nice and honest person. He is also more prepared to deal with tourist then some colleagues. Some of then were a bit inpatient of not prepared to solve simple issues. The cleaning guy is a good person too. I want to do an honor mention to Thuwan. THIS employee deserves to be recognized and evolve in his career. He has sympathy, is smart, has good energy and made us feel really welcome there. He is 5 stars!

We stayed in this hotel for 8 nights. The welcome was nice and friendly. The room was spacious and clean, regularly cleaned, with towels and beach towels. The room was equipped with a hairdryer, a refrigerator, and an electric kettle, which is quite enough for an ordinary day. The food was delicious every day (thanks to the skilled chef), brought to the table in a really pleasant, cultured way, always with a smile and kind words (thanks to the wonderful waiter). They tried to fill the time according to our requirements, but they gave very good advice on what is worth seeing and experiencing. What was extraordinary,was the attitude and behavior towards us. I have never seen such kind, warm-hearted, peaceful people as here. Nothing upset them, they would give you everything, they were helpful as much as possible. And not only some of them, but absolutely all of them! Starting with the manager, through the cooks, waiters, cleaners, all the employees... the absolute highlight was my birthday, where they surprised me with a beautifully decorated room and an even higher level was the dinner! They baked me a cake with with candles, sang, congratulated (again, everyone), arranged the table such unbelievably way, cooked a fantastic meal (as can be seen on photos). Saying goodbye was hard and tearful for me, because these were really the most wonderful holidays in my life

FANTASTIC! It's hard to put into words. it was really amazing and unforgettable. the hotel is very good, and the staff is excellent. I would like to praise the waiter Thuan, an outstanding man. Also te island is perfect. Is a must visit and we will come back for sure.

I stayed here for two days as part of my trip around the Maldives. The staff were incredible in every aspect and went above and beyond to do their best. Local information, tips, support and guidance could not have been better. The room was large and very spacious with a nice work station. There was an issue with the internet but it was resolved immediately which was great for me as a digital nomad connectivity is essential. The excursions were incredible organised and ran by the hotel and we got to see mantras and whale sharks. The trip to the sandbank is a MUST and I highly recommend taking the hotel shuttle for a few dollars unless you fancy the 1 hour walk in the sun. The food was great with very generous portions and I will happily stay here again should I return to Dhigurah

Sants Grant!! What a TOP Hotel is that! With his beautiful garden and great food!!!!! Very nice BIG rooms!!! Good care, super clean and the staff is EXCELLENT!!! I love the girls in the kitchen. And the chef can cook like the best. The location is near the harbor. The island is beautiful. Dhigurah is a bounty island in the sun! The island and this hotel are highly recommended!
