가푸달루 아톨의 프라이빗 하우스 (560m², 침실 6개, 프라이빗 욕실 6개)

We stayed on dec 30 2023. The staff was really helpul. Since we arrived late evening and the sea was rough , he arranged a accommodation in dhigoora island for a day and picked us up in his boat next day. He also arranged whale, Manta ray snorkeling and even private transfer to nearby island resort. The room was near and clean. the one drawback is the dhidoo island is remote and nothing much to do in the evening. We enjoyed the stay.

Fun and value. Must see whaleshark. Watch out for bugs.

I went to Fenfushi for one reason to see a whaleshark. The host Haleen took me in his boat and sure enough he dropped me in 3 times by whaleshark. White Tern is 5 min walk fron bikini beach. My room very clean when I arrived. Was not cleaned in the 6 nights I was there, towels, sheets bins not touch. Window looks out at black see through netting which is border of next doors house and workyard (noisy at times). No soap/shampoo provided. Staff very freindly. Iwoulx recommend this guest house becsuse Haleen is the man for the whaleshark

Unfortunately, between the time of booking this stay, and actually arriving, the owners had up and moved the hotel to an entirely different building on an entirely different island without telling us. We didn't find out until we were already on our way. It is now on Fenfushi Island, and the building is completely different. We had been very much looking forward to our stay because of all the good reviews it got, but the new place did not live up to our expectations at all. Although the building was supposed to be an improvement upon the last, the room we were put in was small, windowless and very plain. There was one small table and two chairs on the patio to be shared with all the other guests. At the time, there was one other couple besides us staying there, so only one couple at a time could sit outside at the table. There was no hot water in the bathroom, no minifridge or kettle, and the food took a very long time to prepare. It also took a while between requesting our water bottles to be refilled, and them actually refilling them. They offered a list of activities that we could do, but in the end, we didn't want to book anything with them because of the lack of care that we had experienced. On the plus side, the A/C worked great, as well as the wifi, and the lady who ran the place was nice whenever we interacted. The beach on the island was also beautiful, although it was unclear if bikinis were allowed. In the end, if we had known the new place was going to be like this, we would not have made the trip all the way down to Fenfushi.

We really enjoyed our stay at White Tern. Haleem and Shifa are amazing hosts. When we arrived at the harbour Haleem was waiting to pick us up. We also did two whale shark/manta excursions with him and he was an excellent boat captain and helped us to have a private experience with the whale sharks. Shifa makes delicious meals. The rooms are clean and the bed is comfortable. We will definitely return to stay here!
