+Amazing service in a very lovely place. I liked the fact Ocean Cottage is a very small and cozy place, so it feels like home. Ibrahim was amazing host cooking great breakfasts (including perfect brownies I loved so much) and helping with daily needs like advising on laundry, money exchange or organizing tours. I liked that place had a lot of plants and cute decorations. It is located also well just few meters from the beach. Breakfast was also served on the beach with a great view.
−Nothing. Everything was great ;-)

+Prior to our liveaboard trip, we decided to acclimatise in Thulushdhoo and do a few dives. We stayed for three nights. We have chosen the Ocean Cottage because it was also recommended as part of dive & Stay Package by a local dive centre. We booked it separately. It turned out to be better than we expected. The room was spacious. We had plenty of space to put our dive equipment. The bed was very comfortable. The plugs in the room were suited for all types of power adapters. We had our breakfast on the beach , which was really great. Ibrahim, the B&B carer, was super helpful in every way. He accommodated our special requests. My flip flops broke, he took me a shop where I could get super cheap, also pretty, flip flops. He carried our dive gear with a tricycle to the Dive centre. Ocean Cottage is good value for money. 10m from the beach and other restaurants. Bikini beach isn't far, 5 mins on foot.

“Perfect peaceful getaway”
+Everything was perfect! Mohammed and Ibrahim are such nice hosts and always there for your convenience :) Cottage is right in front of the bikini beach, you literally wake up and have your breakfast served with the stunning view. Breakfast was diverse, good portion and delicious. Everything was clean, there were no noises, no disturbances. You are offered transport from speedboat and till speedboat when coming back, they will also book it for you. It was definitely a dreamy vacation for me and I recommend it to everyone :)))

“Great day, I would return just because the staff was so nice”
+Excellent location. The staff, Ibrahim, was amazing. He is super kind, very helpful, and really wants guests to have a good experience. There is free tea and coffee at all times that Ibrahim will make. They also let me use extra towels and store my luggage on the day that I was checking out. The manager was also very helpful with booking me a boat to Male.
−Blankets could be a little thicker

“Lovely little guesthouse right on the beach”
+Gorgeous little guesthouse, less than 50m to the beach! It was perfect for a 3 night stay with my partner and we could have stayed much longer. What made our stay was the staff! Ibrahim was so lovely and looked after us very well. He made us breakfast on the beach every morning and he was lovely to talk to! We would definitely recommend this guesthouse to anyone visiting Thulusdhoo and we hope to be back again soon!
