Hi all ! rested in this hotel for only 3 days, passing from Hudhuranfushi Island 4 *, lived in water villas, so there is something to compare with. The island itself is very small, 10 minutes walk along the coast, inside - those. the buildings ; nothing much to see. Everything is beautiful and cozy in the villas, but everyone goes to a common restaurant, and not like in other hotels - separately for watermen and better food. Standard rooms resemble 2-storey barracks (all as in the photo). There is practically no coastline, so everyone huddles in the bushes with ants, there is also nowhere to put sunbeds. In the evenings, it’s real, except for drinking alcohol in a bar, there’s nothing else to do, we got bored on the second day. And on Hudhuranfushi we didn’t even have time to look at everything in 5 days and the bar is more beautiful there, there are 2 pools with a bar above the water. There are no pools in Rannalhi and everything is very faded and primitive. The food is really spicy, but the choice is sufficient and there are many delicious desserts. The food is mainly oriented towards Italians (there are a third of them, Germans and the same number of Russians) many types of pasta and rice, vegetable side dishes, less meat and fish. By the way, there is a Russian-speaking representative from the Tez tour, a very nice girl Olya, she helps all our tourists in resolving any issues, especially if there are problems with English, she personally meets and escorts tourists on the island. Even with superior AL, this hotel does not turn on the water in the room, only for money and they do not make cocktails, when, as in the same "fushi", they brought us 1 bottle daily. 1.5 liters per person and there are 10 alcoholic and 10 non-alcoholic drinks on the bar menu. cocktails. But in spite of everything, Rannalhi has one huge plus, of course, the water and the bottom (a beautiful reef and good depth and places for swimming), although there are also a lot of corals in the water. On our "fushi" the tides are very shallow and strong (see details in the hotel review). Despite all the pros and cons of these hotels, the second time we would certainly choose neither one nor the other hotel. Of course, the choice is yours, we will be glad if our review is useful to someone.
