"Booked with South Ari Dive, who were a fantastic dive centre with everything needed for a perfect diving holiday. Great friendly service, superb value and local dive site knowledge. They took us snorkelling with Mantas during our surface intervals which was a once-in-a-lifetime experience The accommodation is in a local guest house (not at the dive centre but 2 mins walk away). We stayed at Manta which was basic but pleasant and comfortable. Recommend B&B basis as the restaurants on Dhangethi...

Conrad Maldives Rangali Island

10/10 Excellent

"Idílico sitio, espectacular en todo, paisajes y sitios hermosos, buenos restaurantes con excelentes chefs en todos los estilos mundiales. Lo único a anotar son los excesivos costos de actividades cómo buceo, snorkel y demás acuáticas además de bebidas alcoholicas y no alcoholicas muy superiores a hoteles y resorts 5 estrellas cómo este a nivel mundial más aún teniendo en cuenta que la isla es el hotel y no hay más que aceptarlas y pagarlas. Por lo demás inolvidable experiencia."
