Fihalohi is a good place to relax, especially for those who understand WHY he came to the Maldives. The most important thing is an excellent reef, snorkeling is beyond praise, corals come to life after their total death in all the Maldives as a result of warming, and those who came to fikhalohi earlier note this.

Fihalohi is a good place to relax, especially for those who understand WHY he came to the Maldives. The most important thing is an excellent reef, snorkeling is beyond praise, corals come to life after their total death in all the Maldives as a result of warming, and those who came to fikhalohi earlier note this. Turtles, bracken and moray eels are the main large inhabitants of the reef, but it’s not worth talking about fish. It’s not worth going on excursions to dolphins and manta rays, they will show you dolphins from a speed boat, you may not see manta rays at all, in my opinion this is a kind of local swindle for denyushka)). If you really want to swim with manta rays and whale sharks, you should visit the southern ari atoll, Ranveli. There are real excursions to manta rays and whale sharks. You should not twitch anywhere on fihalochs, everything is on the island.
Accommodation: we had a classic room, one-story bungalows for two rooms, they were the very first built on the island, so the location is the best - the best part of the beach is yours (north side, reef, cliff). Although in the description of the hotel it was said that in the rooms there is a classic air conditioning for an extra charge. fee, it turned out to be untrue, the conder was free. Whoever chooses a classic - I advise you to take bar soap from home, only liquid soap in the room, which is not always convenient. Cleaning 2 times a day, if you want towels changed every day - throw them on the floor, room-boy will understand. If the towels hang in their places, then you are for the environment and do not want to change them. This is stated in the memo on the wall of the bathroom. If you brought food to your room, and even more so if you are going to eat on the veranda, be prepared for the fact that any fallen crumb will attract millions of ants, and the crows will beg very aggressively. Therefore, we never feed any living creatures while in the Maldives, this can disrupt the natural way of life of the local inhabitants. The rooms are old, but the management constantly plays tricks on them, so they look good. As for the bird's hubbub - a rather loud roll call begins at dawn, but somehow it does not cause rejection, it all sounds very organic, and does not irritate at all through a dream.
Entertainment: they are not here, in the Egyptian sense of the word, at all. This is what makes the Maldivian vacation so valuable. I will express my opinion about the essence of such a holiday - if you want to forget about shoes, about phone calls, the Internet, negative news, if you want to feel like a part of the surrounding nature - you are here. If you can dissolve in the world around you and hang out for hours watching the life collisions of unrealistically colored psychedelic underwater inhabitants - this is yours. And on the other hand, if a poorly functioning outlet, a queue for soup in a restaurant, the absence of animators, bird chimes, the receptionist’s ignorance of the Russian language, coral fragments thrown onto the beach by a storm, the inability to wear an evening dress taken with you, hairpins and jewelry for dinner can overshadow your vacation and spoil your mood until departure - do not go here. Better to Egypt.
I advise: Get up early, at dawn, immediately into the water, in the morning you can see those and what you won’t see during the day - this will be a workout and an appetite that will be brutal.
After breakfast - to the beach and into the water, the sun in the morning is the most pleasant. After dinner, until 3 you can sit, and then - again into the water, until sunset. After dinner - you can sit in the bar, you can walk along the shore with a flashlight, kick the glowing plankton. And if you really swam all day, then at 10 o’clock you will be turned off. Anticipating all sorts of objections - I myself am a "night owl" - I can go to bed at home even at 3 am, it's always hard to get up in the morning. But in the Maldives, the body gladly accepts the above regimen, and most importantly, it is not boring to relax with such a regimen)))
And yet, most importantly - Mask, fins, snorkel - here you need them, without snorkeling and diving, 70% of the Maldives will remain unknown to you, and your vacation will be incomplete.

Rested. The hotel corresponds to its star rating of the region. Walks around, leisurely along the beach in 15 minutes. Of the shortcomings - a lot of mosquitoes, rather modest food, even by my unpretentious standards. Too many rooms, and as a result, not enough sense of privacy on the island. Old, noisy air conditioners.

Rested. The hotel corresponds to its star rating of the region. Walks around, leisurely along the beach in 15 minutes. Of the shortcomings - a lot of mosquitoes, rather modest food, even by my unpretentious standards. Too many rooms, and as a result, not enough sense of privacy on the island. Old, noisy air conditioners. Russians are not accommodated in the best rooms. The entertainment program is close to zero. There is only one store, with expensive prices and a poor assortment. Everything else seems to be nonsense. Pros: Close to Male. Few Russians, as a result, the service is at the level. Good, I would even say a great house reef. And generally rich flora and fauna. Strong drinks are expensive, this is a plus because the magnificence of the Maldives in this case will be replaced by everyday drinking outside the home. Good arsenal of affordable wines. Very tasty bananas grow in the center of the island. Friendly staff, which in my opinion extends the overall impression of the hotel. In a word, if you are not rich, not pretentious, then it is quite suitable for visiting the magnificent Maldives.

There is very little information on this site about this hotel, I would like to share my impressions about this hotel and the rest there in general. We rested together with my husband. Flew from Moscow Transaero. We had a very long road and very tiring, but it was 1000% worth it!! ! The Maldives is definitely worth seeing with your own eyes!

There is very little information on this site about this hotel, I would like to share my impressions about this hotel and the rest there in general. We rested together with my husband. Flew from Moscow Transaero. We had a very long road and very tiring, but it was 1000% worth it!! ! The Maldives is definitely worth seeing with your own eyes! The hotel is located on a small island, we went around it without much difficulty min. for 15-20. We walked constantly barefoot, it was insanely nice, you get a full touch of nature. The hotel is simple without frills, everything is modest, but it turns out to be far from the most important thing, compared with the beauty of nature and the feeling that you are on a small piece of land in the middle of a huge ocean. On one side of the island, the beach is not very good, it was there that our bungalow was located, but on the first day we chose a suitable place for ourselves and moved our sunbeds, which are assigned to each room, to the right place. The numbering of sunbeds is very convenient because you don't have to worry that you won't have a place, they are where you left them. The room has everything you need. To avoid ants in the room, do not leave anything from the food. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. In the restaurant, on the first day, a waiter is assigned to you and a table is assigned to you. There were two of us and a couple more Russians were put in with us. So get ready for it. Rested in the hotel mostly Germans. We had HB, we dined at the bar. The bar has a modest selection of dishes, different salads, burgers, sandwiches, pizza. Prices for the Maldives are not big, as it seemed to us. Dinner for two was $20-30. On the island you get complete relaxation of both body and soul, everything is very quiet. There is no movement, you practically don’t notice people, only at dinner in a restaurant you can see that there are actually a lot of people on the island. We spent almost the same days, we didn’t go on any excursions, because we didn’t find anything interesting in them. We got up at 7 in the morning and went to breakfast and to the beach, we didn’t want to waste time sleeping. As for the underwater world - the reef near our island was good, beautiful corals and living creatures. We saw two types of moray eels, yellow spotted and brown. Stingrays were seen large black and sand-colored, bracken, dolphins. The coolest thing was to see a shark 1.5 meters long, it swam right off the shore, and we and a few other people right behind it. We were lucky to see her, she was only there for one day, and then she was not seen again. But small reef sharks 0.5 meters long near the shore were constantly seen. If we compare the underwater world, then what we saw in Egypt and the Maldives, as it seemed to us, in Egypt there are still more fish near the reef, corals are about the same, but as for the larger living creatures that can be seen near the coast, then the Maldives is definitely better .
