Kriulhiya Maldives

KIRULHIYA MALDIVES - Marzo 2024 – se togliamo il mare.. il resto imbarazzante Cercherò di essere il più obiettivo possibile anche se è difficile non far trasparire amarezza e delusione. Quest’anno io e mia moglie abbiamo deciso di concederci qualche giorno di relax alle Maldive e la scelta è ricaduta sulle sull’isola di Omadhoo. Abbiamo trovato il contatto di una ragazza Italiana, Chiara, con la quale abbiamo definito il pacchetto (pasti inclusi, più 3 escursioni) per una settimana nella guest house KIRULHIYA. Fino a qui tutto normale. Non è la prima esperienza in giro per il mondo che facciamo e avevamo abbastanza chiaro la scelta fatta: guest-house non è un resort, l’isola abitata anche da locali , insomma esattamente quello che cercavamo. Come potete immaginare, il mare non ha deluso, l’isola ha una zona dedicata ai turisti dove si puó fare il bagno in costume / bikini senza problemi e ha l’accesso piuttosto facile al reef. La gestione e l’interfaccia lacunosa. Innanzitutto il nostro contatto Italiano (Chiara) non era sull’isola. Questo poco importerebbe se la gestione fosse almeno semi-professione. Invece il contatto locale di riferimento Ahmed , si è rivelato, sul piano umano, una persona molto arrogante e scortese , poco educata, sbrigativa e poco trasparente e sul piano professionale non ho aggettivi perché era una caratteristica che non ho proprio riscontrato. In aggiunta, tengo a sottolineare che la struttura KIRULHIYNA non esiste, precedentemente esisteva , ma attualmente no. Di fatto gli “organizzatori” se così possiamo chiamarli, si appoggiano a guest house locali sparse sull’isola, insomma come se fosse una formula roulette senza che però il turista sia consapevole. Al nostro arrivo ci hanno messo in una guest house al lato della Moschea. Sarebbe andato bene se non fosse per il completo abbandono. Essendo per definizione la guest-house una soluzione condivisa, nessuno si prendeva cura della gestione degli spazi comuni facendo rispettare le regole. Conclusione: guest house utilizzata dagli ospiti (tutti russi eccetto noi 2) come se fosse casa loro, lasciando in giro rimasugli di cibo, tazze (anche per giorni). Dopo alcune lamentele ci hanno spostato in una seconda struttura e qui, finalmente, il proprietario della struttura era presente e attento e ci ha permesso di trascorrere i giorni con serenità. Apparentemente sembra essere andato tutto per il meglio, peró bisogna sottolineare come la persona di riferimento locale, Ahmed per chi si fosse dimenticato, mentre stavano sottolineando le problematiche della prima struttura se ne è andato mentre stavamo ancora parlando, senza alcun accenno e preavviso , il tutto nell’arco di 10 min dall’inizio del nostro confronto. È questa è solo una parte. Se vogliamo aprire il capitolo cibo , possiamo dedicare qualche parola. Abbiamo avuto l'opportunitá di confrontarci con altri turisti (della stessa "guesthouse") e la situazione che abbiamo vissuto non la definirei tra le piú comuni. Cibo ripet

Well, this island is just perfect. Probably my favorite beach (bikini) in the Maldives. But our stay there...was not good. The inn is 10 minutes walk from the bikini beach, not so far but there are hotel closer than this one. Our problem here was with the staff, or most of them. They are not motivated to make you feel comfortable and they are not very communicative. They pass you the impression that they are always in an obligation to help you or give you some information. Also you have to lunch or have your breakfast outside, in a nice place for sure, but very hot one too!! Well, in the end we left the hotel earlier and went to another island and a much better hotel (Dhigurah, Bliss Hotel).

I would like to express my gratitude towards Kirulhiya team: they provided us with the highest quality service and made our holidays unforgettable! Reliable and careful staff Very tasty and various food and incredibly tasty fruit juices. Breakfasts and dinners always on the beach under the palm trees. Clean beaches with just few people (not crowded at all) Very good service when you are treated really well and you can feel like home. Good speedboat. Amazing snorkeling. Safety. They arranged discos and other activities for their guests so it was always interesting and fun. They really care to create the atmosphere. Ahmed always helped to solve any question, all the team did their best for us to enjoy our days on Omadhoo. We are amazed with this experience of dealing with Kirulhiya. If you are looking for variants of rest on the local island, I definitely recommend you this one with Kirulhiya team. We are happy to know this beautiful peace of Earth, to meet these incredible people, to have such a great and refreshing rest on Omadhoo island

The staff were amazing and more than accomodating to all our needs. They went above and beyond to make our stay amazing. The food was tasty and well prepared. The excursions were well planned and very enjoyable. Can't say THANK YOU ENOUGH

I loved my experience at Kirulhiya Maldives. They offer a complete structure for travelers. I booked my accommodation, food, tours and transfers! They took care of every detail with great attention! A highlight of my trip was the tours. I swam with whale shark, nurse shark, turtles and lived unforgettable moments. The snorkeling equipment is very good and the speedboat is super new and comfortable. Omadhoo's bikini beach is very beautiful and the guesthouse is very close to everything. Thank you so much for the love and care that the Kirulhiya team had with me. My experience in Omadhoo was definitely much better because of you! I really want to come back soon!

We were staying here for a couple of days in September 2021. The guesthouse is very cozy, rooms are clean and It’s pretty close to the beach. The service is excellent, I have never experience such a service before this stay. The staff is super friendly and very nice, trying to help with everything. The hotel is close to bikini beach. I would recommend everyone to go on trips with hotel staff, you’ll get incredible experience that you’ll never forget. Thank you again!

We had a wonderful time at Kirulhiya, the staff are very friendly, the rooms are clean, the beds are very comfortable and the excursions offered are fantastic! The island of Omadhoo, is very authentic and beautiful. It is quiet and peaceful. Just a 3 minute walk from Kirulhiya, you will find the bikini beach - this is a lovely area with a wonderful lagoon. We also saw a Sting Ray here in the shallow lagoon. The food at Kirulhiya is delicious and fresh. We ate fresh fish, fresh fruits, delicious freshly pressed juices… so healthy! On top of that… We saw a whaleshark! The team at Kirulhiya is very knowledgeable and experienced with whaleshark spotting and I would 100% recommend this excursion for a once in a lifetime opportunity. Thank you so much for such a lovely stay!

everything was very well managed, on time and such friendly staff and really quality experience. highly recommend this place to taste the real authentic Maldives. I am sure you will not be disappointed. great hospitality and attitude, and very safe for girls.

I was on vacation with my family in January 2022 and received a huge amount of positive emotions. the food is delicious, the staff is great, the place is calm, the ocean is warm, sunset is amazing. impressed by the excursions and the opportunity to swim with mantas and whale shark. beautiful local reef, these are incredible emotions. Breakfast on the beach every day - cool,but dinner on the beach at sunset - it’s а piece of art, every our place for dinner was decorated with love. I’m very glad and thankful to Ahmed,Faaley and his team. Thx a lot!
