Cute little hotel friendly staff.
We stayed one night before we left Male for our island adventure. Was a great start to our adventure. Thank you for the early take out breakfast.

The hotel's location is superb, right by the beach, offering a wonderful atmosphere. Abhilash at the reception was polite and very helpful. They also provide free airport transfers. However, the hotel lobby and lift are a bit small

Fantastic Place
The place looks exactly as beautiful as the photos. The room and bathroom were incredibly clean. We really enjoyed our stay here! Friendly staff, delicious food with lots of menu variety, and amazing rooftop restaurant overlooking the ocean. If you don't fancy the food, there are plenty of other places to eat within a 1-5 minute walk. Cannot recommend enough!

Great hotel to arrive in the evening
The breakfast didn’t have a lot of variety, but it was satisfying. I was pleased with the airport pickup and drop-off service. It was great to be able to call the resort the next day to set up a time.

Great stay at Amber Beach. Includes airport transfer even if transferring form a resort island via the Airport. Staff was helpful and was able to give us a late checkout since our flight was at 8pm! They also are able to hold luggage if needed. Easy access to cafes and restaurants. Direct beach access as well. Breakfast buffet also very good.

Stayed only few hours waiting for midnight international flight so did not go exploring the surrounding area. 20min drive to airport depending on traffic. Staff polite and in a good mood. Room basic but very clean. Large soft bed. Had some sandwiches at the rooftop terrace. Nice place with lots of plants.
If needed we would definitely use this hotel again.

Room is of reasonable size. There is space for us to open up two luggages. The room is clean and proper. However our room on the first floor can practically hear every noise from the restaurant which makes it difficult to sleep. The tv is also not working.

In short a nice hotel - ideal for short stays and can also accommodate longer lazy vacations.
The room was very clean. Amenities were good. Staff was really service oriented and helpful.
They prepare a breakfast buffet to offer some options for many diets/tastes. If that's not sufficient you can order from the cafe menu which offers many other options.
Location of the hotel is convenient - next to the beach. There are many restaurants and shops around. There's a nice cafe/restaurant inside the hotel as well. Rooftop terrace is also very nice.
On top of all those airport transfer is a great advantage.
If your sleep is light sea planes in the early morning might be disturbing - depending on landing/take-off trajectories and direction of the wind.
I only wish they were putting personal data into registration system directly without making photos of the passports and sharing them with each other on their company phones through a popular messaging app. They ensured that they delete them but still unnecessary duplication/transfer of sensitive information isn't a good practice.

Amazing staff and value for money. We stayed one night as arrived late in the evening and wanted to transfer during the day.
Room furniture was a little tired but functional.
Staff went the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed our stay.
Whilst we didn’t eat the food looked delicious and we didn’t see anything other than clear plates from those guest that did eat.
Location was right on the beach.

Good short stay!!
We were only there for a few hours, our flight got in late, and our resort had us picked up at 05:30. But, those few hours were of high quality. The room was small, but clean and efficient. The king sized bed was actually 2 twin beds pushed together which did suck. The service and hospitality were wonderful though. They picked us up at the airport and dropped us off without a hitch. We paid for breakfast, but because we left so early, they packed us breakfast to go which was really appreciated!!

Not the best
Not the best location, rooms were clean, room furniture was old - no handles, drawers glued shut. Breakfast was not the best and very cramped, nice helpful staff. Very small balcony with only room for one chair! Driver always there on time for transfers/trips. Area was dirty in places with lots of rubbish around, roads extremely busy in the evening.

We chose this hotel because our flight left early in the morning and we couldn't leave the other small island so early. So we ended up adding an overnight stay here. Airport transfer worked great. We were contacted via WhatsApp with all the information. Someone was standing at the information desk at the airport with the "Amber Beach" sign in their hand. The hotel is about 20 minutes away. Room is small but clean. We got an "upgrade" to the sea side. Upstairs there is a rooftop bar with a view of the sea. Room was relatively noisy on the 1st floor, downstairs is the kitchen to the restaurant and outside the street. There are a few small Asian-style restaurants and cafés nearby. Found a burger place with a bit of a walk (about 15 minutes). Otherwise you can wander the streets but you have to get used to the looks of the locals (as a European you stand out a lot). Hotel highly recommended for a stopover!
