“A very friendly staff, the most delicious all inclusive in life, a warming atmosphere and a comfortable place!”
+Everything was amazing! We strongly recommend this hotel which is more a guest house because it made us feel so welcomed! The staff is so friendly, that island is simple but so calm and beautiful; and the food was great!

+SeaLaVie was fantastic! The location is perfect - just a few meters from the beach, where the snorkeling is easily the highlight of the island. The breakfast was awesome, offering a huge variety of dishes to start the day, and the rooms are clean and well-maintained. What truly stood out, however, was the staff’s incredible support during situation in the Middle East when my flight was canceled. They went above and beyond to accommodate me, extending my stay at a very fair rate and even helping me navigate the complexities of a visa extension. They turned a stressful situation into a seamless experience. I can’t recommend this place enough for their kindness and professionalism!

“Highly recommend!”
+Wonderful stay! The staff is amazing, the room was very comfortable, and we could easily access everything we wanted to see and do around the island.
−Unfortunately, there is a lot of construction happening on the island. This impacts every place you can stay, but does impact the overall feeling of relaxation for a vacation.

“An Oasis in a Growing Concrete Jungle”
+The staff and the owner are extremely nice and kind people...always available and we genuinely caring . Sea La Vie is an oasis in a jungle of construction around it on Ukulhas ...once we were inside the courtyard we could forget the huge construction..although occasionally we could still hear it. Sea la Vie does a nice breakfast...and the lunch or dinner is served at an adjacent restaurant..which was friendly and tasty. Nice location, too, on the beach .. bathroom was spacious..plenty of hangers for snorkeling gear to dry. The reef was quiet nice ...not the best we've seen ...but easy to get to. Some sharks and a turtle. Some live coral ...good in places. The very best was the morning mantra ray trip ...and aod boat trip early in the morning just for us two . Very recommended.
−Certainly we were hugely disappointed by the encouragement high rise construction on the island ...it's already busy busy and it's going to be we guess twice the amount This small island already felt on bikini beach crowded ...something like Southern Spain ...lots of people too stamping on the corals .....we can't imagine what it will be like when the available beds is doubled??? Furthermore there seems to be no management by the island to ask tourists to behave nicely to their environment...especially the coral and sea life .there are no information signs 😕

+SeaLaVie arranged our speedboat from Male airport to Ukulhas. We were met on the dock and taken to the accommodation. The room was clean & spacious and has a small table and chairs infront where breakfast is served. Staff were friendly & helpful. Although located on the other side of the island from the bikini beach, it's only a 10 minute walk to the beach. There is also a beach area directly across from SeaLaVie but the water is not as sheltered as at the bikini beach.

“Very difficult stay.”
+L’emplacement
−We discovered bed bugs in the room on our first evening. In hindsight, the strong chemical lemon smell in the room at check-in seemed suspicious to us, although we cannot prove anything. We had to wake our baby during their sleep in the middle of the night to urgently move to another hotel. Thankfully, the staff were kind and helpful and assisted us in finding alternative accommodation, and we thank them for that. We were also surprised that the manager asked us to pay the “Green Tax” for our baby under one year old, whereas in other places this tax usually applies from the age of two. Regarding the rest of the stay, we prefer not to comment as we do not have enough perspective. Overall, a very stressful experience despite the kindness of the staff.

“Wenn man eine saubere Unterkunft mit toller Lage haben will.”
+Die Lage war hervorragend, und es gab immer kostenloses Wasser, und die Besitzer haben sich Mühe gegeben.
−Das Frühstück war qualitativ nicht so gut. Es war ausreichend von der Menge.

“Safe für solo female travellers”
+Speedboat wurde organisiert, transfer zum Ferry Terminal auch. Wunderbares Team. Ich konnte jeden Tag die Frühstücksoptionen wählen und es wurde frisch zubereitet. Als female solo traveller habe ich mich zu jeder Zeit sicher und gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Man wurde umsorgt und gab sich grosse Mühe, stehts frendlich zu sein was ich wirklich super fand. Zimmer sind riesig, super comfort - es hat alles was man braucht. Die Unterkunft liegt genau in der Mitte der Insel, so kann man jederzeit aussuchen, welche 5 min man gehen will und auf welcher Seite man schnorcheln will. Zudem gibt es in der Nähe einen Shop, bei dem man immer alles kaufen konnte. in unmittelbarer Nähe von super Restaurants - ich habe manchmal auch take-out gemacht und dann in der Unterkunft am Tisch gegessen. An der Reception gab es immer frische Beach towels und Glasflaschen mit Trinkwasser. Vielen Dank an das Team - ich werde wieder zurückkommen.
−Nichts.

“Sehr bemüht und freundlich, an der Qualität könnte man noch arbeiten.”
+Strand und Frühstück waren sehr gut. Der Strand ist außergewöhnlich schön. Der Gastgeber war sehr freundlich und bemüht. Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber und ansprechend.
−Baustelle im Quartier. Teilweise kein Strom. Unangenehmer Geruch im Zimmer und Badezimmer. Leider liegt auf der Insel sehr viel Müll herum. Wirklich schade, denn die Insel selbst ist bezaubernd!

“Recomendable y buen precio”
+Pequeño hotel a 2min de la playa, Fazzeel, el chico que nos atendió, super amable y atento, el desayuno era muy bueno y cada día podía elegirlo, la habitación reformada, con aire y ventilador, y smart tv con wifi. Nos recogieron y llevaron al puerto, facilitandonos el transporte para venir e irnos en barco. Muchas Gracias!
