Everything was great. Hut is great, beach and reef, staff all great. Nice touch is the twin island experience. The only thing that can be improved is food selection to focus more on local cuisine. Overall I would return to this place in no time.

A wonderful stay on this small island. The staff were outstanding, our villa great, the restaurant food and bar excellent. We were a minute to the beach and snorkelling and a short stroll to the beautiful restaurant setting. Our first time in the Maldives, but we think this place is just right.

Everything was great! It is a very short ride from Malè International Airport, which we loved. The island is small and you have privacy. We really enjoyed that there is kind of semi-private beach in front of every house, and the reefs are very nice for snorkelling. The food was great, and the stuff was amazing. The resort is very small, which on the one hand is very quiet and relaxing, but on the other side in case it's raining continuously, you have limited options on how to spend your time.

8/10 Very good

Everything is absolutely perfect: the hospitality, the service the food, the rooms, the beach, all. only thing stopping me tl give this a perfect 10 is the fact the island ( i assume) wants to be orientated towards family friendly, but it went overboard. It was full of toddlers, a mean i have never seen so many toddlers in one place in any hotel in my life. As the island is very small, you can't have any place to hide from them. It would have been better if they would at least split the island in half: one side family friendly and the other for couples. At least the couples can have some quiet.

We really loved the small and intimate feel of the resort. The staff really went out of their way to create a great experience for all the guests. One of the highlights of this location is their home reef just steps from the beach. They will give you snorkel equipment and if the weather had been nicer when we stayed (during August Monsoon), I could have spent the whole day out there. We did bite the bullet and go out snorkeling when the weather showed no signs of letting up and still saw a lot of sea life, including both a white tip and black tip reef shark. The rooms were very nice and the all-inclusive package was probably one of the best I have seen. We didn't part-take in the alcohol in the room, but it along with the snacks were very well stocked. We booked the jacuzzi room, which could have been a really nice, but the water to fill the jacuzzi was coming out brown. Likely due to rust of the pipes. A sign or something stating what it was might have helped us look past that. Their main restaurant was very nice and had a good selection of foods for our taste. The bar was also wonderful and exceptional service. This is not a couples-only resort and it did appear we were out numbered by families. We have our own children (who stayed with grandma) so this didn't bother us at all, but something to note. We were most impressed with their teams attention and efforts to make our trip fantastic from the moment we landed to the moment they brought us back to the airport.

One of the most beautiful and well-maintained islands in the Maldives. Every room as its own beach and private terrace. En suite bathroom is lovely. The staff is incredibly attentive, at the level of the very best hotels. The reception, dining, and activities teams are excellent, and took wonderful care of us, helping with diving and snorkel excursions, dining at the sister island, and even assisting with advice on other parts of our trip. We will happily return and recommend Dhawa Ihuru to anyone looking for a quintessential Maldives experience. Aidai at reception was exceptionally helpful with her command of English and other languages.

Nearly perfect snorkeling vacation

My wife and I chose this hotel/resort because multiple guidebooks said it had the best house reef in the Maldives, and the reef lived up to our hopes and expectations. We snorkeled off the beach twice each day (even when it rained on our final full day) and had wonderful experiences each time. The reef was in great shape, and we viewed abundant fish and other sea life (including 3 species of rays and two of sea turtles), Access through the house reef to the outer reef wall was easy, and the dive shop staff provided good information on tides and currents. Dining room and other staff were very friendly and helpful, and included a good mix of native Maldivians and other nationalities. We chose their full meal plan and found the food plentiful, fresh, and tasty, particularly the salads, omelets, fresh fruit, and grilled meats & fish, and menu selections at non-buffet dinners. The beachfront villas were spacious, well-maintained, and lovely accommodations, with secluded and well-shaded decks and sand back yards opening onto the beach. All in all, our 7-night stay provided a great escape from the cold Chicago winter.

Best Island reef in the Maldives

This island is a gem when it comes to marine life; some of the best snorkelling I've ever had worldwide, period, and I snorkelled and scuba dive in a lot of places. Half of the reef is in excellent condition, and for a Maldivian island this is pretty spectacular. This was my 5th time in the Maldives, I first came in 1997, and this is the best island I stayed. No water bungalows, motorized sports, or useless luxuries, absolutely great. this is what a Maldivian island should be. Great Spa, very good beach Bungalows, excellent service, and overall decent food (just a bit repetitive at times). Take your snorkelling gears (or get it on the island free of charge) and you will enjoy Turtles, Black / White tips and Nurse Sharks, sting and eagle rays, and of course all the usual suspects to be found in the Maldives. We stayed in Angsana for 7 days, and didn't even feel the need to scuba dive. Thanks to all the staff, we had a great week, and I can assure you that if I travel back to the Maldives, I will stay at Angsana Ihuru.

6/10 Good

We booked 2 villas with whirpools for a 3 night stay for 4 adults and 1 child. The rooms are old and hence a bit worn out and dated. Fairly basic amenities and not certainly 5 star by any standard. The jacuzzi didnt work the first night so we called someone to fix it which they did. It worked for a day and then again broke down.... and this time we just left it alone. The staff are good though and do their best to accommodate you. its a very small resort so there is only one restaurant and a bar and the food choices are fairly limited with just a few types of cuisines. The reef is cool and snorkeling around the reef is great! Other water sports activities are fairly limited . Scuba is only for certified divers and after a couple of days you run out of things to do and also for cuisine choices for food....

素晴らしいリゾートでした

一年に一度は海のリゾートに行きますが、こちらのリゾートは私達にとっては最高でした。 シュノーケルをする人に、是非オススメしたいリゾートです。(ラグジュアリーさを求める方は違うと思います) コテージを出て、庭を抜けるとすぐ海に出られるし、エントリーポイントからすぐに竜宮城の様な世界が現れます。 生きた珊瑚礁、前後左右を埋め尽くす数知れない魚達！ 魚の数が、半端じゃありません。餌付けされてないのに、そこらじゅう魚で埋めつくされる世界は圧巻でした。 運良く、シュノーケルで海亀も見れましたし、アジの大群(300匹位？)がトルネードしているのも見れました。朝食を取っていた時に、すぐ側をイルカが泳いで通り過ぎるのも見れました。 部屋は一日2回もクリーニングに来てくれて、とても清潔ですし、タオル類も常に取り替えてくれるので、気持ち良く過ごせました。 日本人スタッフは居ませんが、スタッフさんは私達が日本人だと分かると日本語で話し掛けてくれたり、とても親切です。 食事をする所も、とても清潔に保たれているので、気持ち良く食事ができました。 (個人的に、朝食バイキングなんかで、料理にハエや虫なんかがたかってると、食欲がなくなるのですが、こちらのリゾートはその様な事がありませんでした) 一点だけ厳しい評価があるとすれば、私達はお酒を良く飲むので、酒代がそれなりにかかった事でしょうか。 モルディブはお酒の持ち込みが禁止されてるので、リゾートのバーでしか選択肢がないので、それなりにかかりました。 (ビア小7ドル/大11ドル、ワイン10ドル～、カクテル13ドル～だった様に記憶してます。部屋の冷蔵庫も同じ位でした。売店はありますが、酒類は売ってません。) まぁこれに関しては、こちらのリゾートに限った事ではないので、マイナスではありません。 総評して、こちらのリゾートはオススメで、また行きたい(絶対行く)リゾートでした。ホテル代が控えめな料金設定なのもありがたいです。 モルディブは天候との兼ね合いで、表情が変わるので、今回は天気が良かったのもあるかも知れませんが、大満足なリゾートでした。 スタッフの方々、ありがとうございました。

Good resort close to Male.

Angsana is an older resort, so the rooms are a bit dated, but they are very clean and everything was still functional. Food is very good and staff are exceptional. A lot of fish on the local reef. Best rooms 38-28 for great sunset view. 1 is next to the restaurant, the garden of 46 has not much privacy and 40 to 46 have less beach in front of the room. WiFi is slow.
