Rindhali Beach

− Even though I asked for pick-up there was none. Then I had to get another property to stay.. Rindhali Robbery is property from HELL. He took my money and I did not get to even stay for the duration of the time I paid for. He is just a dishonest, criminal minded person. The ferry or speed boat only goes fixed days and there is no beach. The man wanted to do pictures of me showing my body... Access to bikes is at extra cost and because I never wanted him to take me to beach (extra $15 USD) I didn't get to go. When I told him I had Maldavian money he refused. When I asked about returning to Male City for my return flight, that was when I understood that I was robbed... I had to leave the following morning but pay for all the days even though, he could not facilitate my stay... TRIP from HELL.

− -Transport with speedboat to the island is Expensive, unfriendly boat personel -Breakfast is Abismal, like really bad. - in general, dont visit in Ramadam time - the Beach is Far away from the Hotel(rent a Bike) -Swimming is not ideal since water is not deep enough, better at night -not many activities, you will get bored real quick -the actitvites they offer are Expensive -Only one Restaurant in the whole Island, you better like the food. -Owner doesnt have Problem solving skills, doesnt answer the Phone I would say the Island needs at least 10 more Years to be a likable touristic destination, as of now i cannot recommend.

− There are no problems with the hotel but you should be aware that Kaashidhoo is not a tourist island, with all subsequent advantages and disadvantages. There are only two small hotels hosting a few dozen tourists and one (albeit good and inexpensive) restaurant. The island features a tourist ("bikini") beach, which is about 1,5 km from the harbor, so you should either rent a bike or order transfer (both options are quite affordable) to get there. It is clean and well equipped but the watres are shallow, not suitable for good swimming or snorkeling. Local beaches are 10 minnutes walk from the hotel and it's possible to swim and snorchel there, but the beach is not so clean and you should follow Muslim dress code. Also, the current is sometimes so strong that you cannot swim against it. To conclude, if you need to sink in true Maldivian life and relax for affordable budget, Kaashidoo is the right choice. If you need more comfort outside the hotel, it probably is not. If you go, allow
