Hulhule Island Hotel

Had an absolute blast at the pool bar at Hulhule Island Hotel in Male with my friends! The oceanfront setting is unreal sparkling pool, turquoise waves, and those Maldives sunsets that hit different. Supervisor Khalid and Rajsehker was a legend, recommending killer cocktails and making us feel like VIPs with his proactive, super friendly service. The personalized touches, like customizing our drinks and chatting about local flavors, made the night. Great drinks, tasty snacks, chill music perfect spot for a group hangout. Highly recommend!

We walked from the airport for breakfast whilst we waited for our boat to a local island. We were greeted by Mary on reception who was very kind and helpful. We then had a wonderful breakfast. All the staff were brilliant, we felt very lucky to have found this place. Nothing was too much trouble. We will hopefully do something similar in a fortnights time on our way back home.

The hotel provided complimentary airport shuttle service for my flight out of Male the next day. Safuan, the staff who checked me in and out of the hotel was very courteous, kind and friendly. He gave me a room that is one of the most affordable ones that is near the restaurant, since I told him during check in that I was physically injured. I commend Safuan for his thoughtfulness. He embodies how hotel staff should be. Also the bellhop who brought me to the room was the same way. Hotel is a bit old, need to renovate. The other staff, Mary, on the other hand, during the first time we talked over the phone, and when she discovered I came from the same country as her, immediately concluded that I am a relative of corrupt government officials from my country. I am not, you can tell by the way I am dressed and how my luggage looks. She made incorrect assumptions. Then she tries to cover this up by pestering me with calls over the phone and messages over whatsapp during the entire stay. A two-faced and phony person in my assessment. This is not my idea of getting rest when I was physically injured and had to get back home for medical treatment. I am tired and in pain when I checked in at the hotel - I went up the wrong way and had to carry my heavy luggage towards the lobby from the seafront with an injured leg since I rolled my luggage from the airport to the hotel. Mary needs re-training on how to treat guests. The hotel's ranking got pulled down because of Mary's behavior. My countrymen are not like her. She is the exact opposite of what Filipinos are.

I’m so upset with their staff. I look from Google and went to their for the beer and i carry one pizza from airport so i pass by the security no one informed its not allowed and I ordered two beer also. Ones beer comes to table one of staff (Sareef) probably should be this person who wheres specks and bold he’d guy. if you wonna eat please go out and eat. This is not a way to talk with guests. I paid for my drinks. I suddenly came back 👎

My stay really couldn’t have been better. From the moment I booked, communication was fantastic. Our personal guide (Mary) was waiting for us exactly where she said she would be. Mary could not have been kinder and more hospitable. I really liked that we were checked in in our rooms. There were welcomes drinks/fruit waiting for us, too. The room was clean and cold, and the food was good as well. There was also a small beach where you could relax or swim. Overall, 10/10!

The hotel is perfectly located next to the international airport and offers a fast and efficient shuttle service, which easily justifies the price. The staff were very friendly, and our room was clean and well maintained. Of course, it's not a five-star all-inclusive island resort. Adnand at the front desk was especially proactive and helpful.

Friendly and helpful staff. Was met by Mary on arrival with a big smile and from that first moment the service didnt stop. From the security, to cafe staff. Everyone went out of there way to make sure I had a great stay and I did! Thank you

Absolutely terrible experience. We canceled our reservation ahead of time, but the hotel refused to process it and still took our money. We tried contacting them multiple times by email, but they never replied once. The lack of honesty and basic customer service is shocking. Strongly advise against staying here.
