"A fantastic stay at the beautiful Isla Retreat. The interiors are impressive, with a calm atmosphere and tasteful design. The guesthouse is very peaceful, which makes it a perfect place to truly relax. There were free SUP boards and kayaks available on site, and it was also possible to rent equipment for diving, snorkeling, and other water activities, as well as organize additional paid trips. Although the breakfasts were not very varied, they were served as a buffet, so everyone could easily find something they liked. The restaurant served very good fish and other local dishes. The hotel staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. A huge advantage of this place is the additional amenities and activities available, such as a small library, a gym, billiards, table tennis, and even a telescope for stargazing at night."

"Although from our perspective this was not a downside, it is worth noting that the guesthouse is located right next to a mosque. During the day, and at night as well (during Ramadan), the prayers held there can be clearly heard."

"An absolute gem! 11/10 experience in a local island in Maldives! Big thank you to all the staff in the Isla Retreat for making our stay so magical. We came for 3 nights and wished we could stay for another week. The hotel provides an absolute relaxation and a sense of peace. They provide free bicycles to explore the island, boat tours and scuba diving, there is Ana amazing restaurant on the rooftop and every single room is esthetically pleasing and comforting. We were planning on only having breakfasts there, but ended up coming for every meal because it was great! The guys working there are very charming and welcoming. Will definitely recommend this place to everyone! Hoping to come back someday!"

"Beautiful hotel - everything new and clean, incredibly friendly staff, excellent food in the restaurant (at reasonable prices), beautiful sea view from the restaurant terrace."

"Everything was perfect! Delicious food, reasonably priced. Dinner under the stars. Friendly, smiling, and helpful staff, led by Chef Hassan. Twice-daily cleaning and toothbrush refills. Very comfortable beds (please provide the name of the mattress used at the hotel :) ). Fantastic turtle trip, and we also spotted dolphins (experience is helpful – high waves). The nearest Bikini Beach is about 800m away, the best one about 1.5km away (the hotel offers free bikes – condition varies, but they are helpful). There is 100m away shop with some base products."

"Too short stay :( Water in the shower - but that's normal on every island and every place here. Some bats - but they are fruit-eating."

"Real Maldives experience unlike artificial resorts. The place is luxurious with all amenities, electronic conveniences, a wonderful kitchen/rooftop restaurant with authentic cuisines. Perfect for families with kids as there are plenty of indoor activities. Being a public island there is life as it goes in a remote island to witness local culture and hospitality. The beaches are endless all over and beautiful as well."

"Kid's cycle would be a great addition to adult bikes! Really not a complaint though."

"Our goal was to experience both the Maldives and a local island, and this hotel was perfectly suited for that. It offers everything you need for relaxation as well as activities. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The island is beautiful and not crowded with tourists, which made the stay even more enjoyable. We will definitely return to Isla Retreat."

"Very large, clean and cozy room with beach and sea view. Breakfast and dinner are served on the big and nice rooftop. You can borrow bikes for free to ride to the bikini beach."

"The bathroom smells a little musty. The room doors are quite loud so that you can hear the neighbours of the same floor."

"Amazing staff. Andy and his team are so friendly and accommodating."

"Only critique I can make is the water pressure in the shower, which honestly isn't the worst but if there was one constructive criticism I could make, that would be it."
