Booked for 5D4N full boards diving package with Liberty Guests House. As a solo diver, I’m quite hesitant if they didn’t give their full diving services during my stay. To be honest, proceed with the booking without any research, only read a few comments from here and followed their Facebook page. Surprisingly, I received the best services and great hospitality from the owner, Zala & all the staffs. Started with Tharuka, helping with booking and arrangements. I got a nice room with sea views. I watched sunrises every morning. The room has AC and water heater. When I arrived, immediately I had dive briefing and did check-up dive after the lunch. Since I’m the only diver, I had Jailam & Zala to accompany me. Both of them are instructors. Even they have limited diving equipment, but they provided good services. Then, I went to Omadhoo Wall for my first dive with a big boat and another 2 crews. I had incredible dives experience, Jailam is a great guide, patience and supportive which made me feel safe. He shared tips to get a good video with Insta360 too. On the second last day, we tried to look for whale shark, but failed. Last day, I asked the possibility to repeat Dhigurah Baeyru site for whale shark, my last chance to accomplish bucket list. Supposedly I did 2 dives, but I chose to proceed with 1 because it’s quite far location and I need to clear my ‘No fly’ duration before my flight. Another surprised, they agreed and we successfully see the whale shark. The boat crews are awesome. After whale shark encounter, we had lunch at the sandbank, which I don’t even have to swim (they get the boat closer to the beach). Succeed the dives with sights of whale shark, nurse sharks, grey shark, dolphin, manta & eagle rays. All the meals are good, nice Maldivian meals. Even the last dinner is on the beach under the stars celebrating marriage proposal & anniversary of 2 guests couples. I would recommend anyone to stay with Liberty Guest House. Plan to come back next year for another visit.
This magic bungalow is located in Mahibadhoo Island. Capital of South Ari Atoll. A real gem close to the equator. The hotel was found by me by chance. I was looking for a hotel on Omadhoo island for learning to dive. According to reviews in Omadhoo the best diving in the Maldives. But on New Year's holidays, all hotels on Omadhoo have been booked. And then 'New on Booking'! We've just opened! o. Mahibadhoo hotel Dhamana Beach!. I. Mahibadhoo is located 2 km from the I. Omadhoo. On the same coral ridge. I thought it was luck and immediately wrote to Enzo the manager of hotel. The hotel is located on the very shore and the exit leads directly to the white sandy beach. Part of which is covered, creating a shadow. There is a paradise garden for rest and relaxation. A place for those who want to see the real Bounty Paradise. Enzo helped me find and book a diving school for my Open Water Diver certification. It turns out that there is also a certified diving school on the island. Enzo took over all the organizational aspects of my training. I just have to wait for the moment when I arrive at this fabulous place. In reality, everything turned out to be 1000% cooler. Indescribable beauty. The block with the hotel rooms is located in the shade of trees, so the room is not hot. If you open windows and doors, you can do without air conditioning. Fresh ocean wind will blow through your apartments. A small cozy patio leads to a garden on the beach. Well, after 5m the beach itself with azure waves and gentle ocean breeze. The hotel is the only one on this beach. So no one will bother you. The perfect place to relax and recharge. And also for romantic weekends. Enzo booked me a seat at the SpeedBoat. So I got from Male with comfort and without problems. 1 hour on the waves and I'm on Mahibadhoo. The guys from the hotel met me like at the pier. Met like family. A few words about Maldivian hospitality: the Maldives has very positive and hospitable people. For the whole month of my holiday in the Maldives, not a single dissatisfied look at me. Everyone you meet wishes good morning, afternoon, evening. Walking down the street you can be treated to fresh Coconut Juice. Invite guests. Serve coffee. It seems that these people are on a different energy level. Coming from the Russian hell, it seems surreal. Upon arrival at the hotel, according to tradition, freshly squeezed mango juice with ice was waiting for me on the doorstep. Wow room! The coolest. Closest to the ocean. 2 exits to 2 terraces. The room is just huge. Penthouse with ocean view. Very beautiful. Stylish. Shower room and toilet. Also very spacious. Air conditioning, ceiling fan. Presidential apartments. From the terrace exit to the Lounge Zone. Also very spacious with 6 tables. But the most thrill is to dine on the beach under palm trees. According to your preference, you can set the table right in the garden. The person of the hotel are former employees of the resort
