Verified review

8/10 Very good

We had a wonderful experience at Ayala; it’s a really cosy place. The only problem was that the air conditioning in our room was weak and wasn’t enough to help us cope with the heat. Overall, we had a wonderful experience; the island is small and has its charms, and the hotel is very welcoming. All the staff were very attentive, kind and friendly. And the food in the restaurant was very good – the best on the island.

10/10 Exceptional

From the minute I arrived it felt likr a 5 star hotel. The room was large and very clean! I arrived via ferry at 8am and thry gave me a cold town and a drink. Then they checked me in at 8am! Like it was normal to arrive so early. Then went I was ready to go to the beach they delivered a lounger and an umbrella direct to the beach. My rate was only $5 more for half board and the food was plentiful and so delicious. I would not wait for my nightly dinners. 😋 . I cant wait to return someday.

Our stay at Ayala Ocean View was superb! We stayed for 4 nights and were so sad to leave! The food was great, rooms were incredibly clean (and also cleaned twice a day!) and spa was so lovely. The staff are incredibly friendly and couldn't do enough for us - they organised sun beds for us on the beach, lent us snorkel equipment and even let us shower in a spare room after we had checked out. Would not hesitate to recommend!

I had a great three night stay at Ayala Ocean View. The room was spotless, spacious, bright, and everything worked! Also very quiet for a peaceful night's sleep. Nice views from my top floor room and patio outside. The staff were kind, attentive, and respectful. The shower was a bit fickle--alternating unpredictability between cold and scalding hot, but this was just a small inconvenience.

The hotel and staff were wonderful but I had to leave after one night because of the banging and drilling. I couldn’t sit on the balcony, it was constant noise. I transferred to Maafushi
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Hotel with loads of potential but few mistakes

Rooms are beautifully decorated and spacious, however, I booked a superior room and got an interior room with views to a 1spm patio with all aircon engines. When asked for a change, they told me it was not available. Breakfast was basic but nice and tasty, as well as dinners. On check out I was asked by a gentleman to pay for the room and meals, yet everything was already paid for.. I did not mind, yet I found it very unprofessional. Sundbeds at 'bikini beach' are def a plus.
Verified review

2/10 Poor

Terrible

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights only but it felt like 2 weeks. The room was dirty and the view terrible. There are so much constructions going on around the island and its very limited things to do. Beach area was OK, but nothing special. Some of the staff members were really helpful, but others the opposite. We were given incorrectly information by the reception multiple times causing our plans to crash. There were huge insects in the room coming from the washroom. No warm water at the beginning, so staff had to fix it. The electricity dissapeared out of the blue(only in our room), so the staff had to fix it.

Great place to stay (also with family)

Great place to stay - THE place at Gulhi. The only issue is the construction work next to the hotel (8.00-16.30 daily). Not a big issue for us. Very friendly staff and great service at the hotel (would recommend half/full board). Twice housekeeping per day is great!
