Keyodhoo Manta View guest house MANTHA VIEW

Absolutely positive experience.
We stayed at mantha for 8 days. We were welcomed and pampered by Rachid and his collaborators always ready to meet our requests even for excursions.
Every day we visited a different sandbar or paradise island, everything organized down to the smallest detail with a gazebo for lunch and shade to rest. Where possible, the fish was even grilled on the spot! A paradise!
The small and very intimate guest house with 5 rooms, also comfortable for families.
Always spotlessly clean (they remade them twice a day) and if necessary the beach towels and towels were changed daily.
Typical and always fresh food rich in fish and rice (but pasta was never missing) and one evening they also made pizza. Last barbecue dinner on the beach, very nice with fish and meat to taste. All decorated with lights and lanterns.
On the morning of departure they served breakfast at 5:30 just for us. A kindness that is not to be taken for granted!
We thank Rachid and his staff for making us spend an unforgettable holiday.
We absolutely recommend this type of experience at Mantha and hope to be able to return soon!

5 of us were guests of this property for 2 weeks (from 22/01 to 5/02/2024) : 2 adults and 3 children aged 10, 8 and 7. If you are looking for an unforgettable experience, excursions that will leave you speechless, spectacular snorkelling, contact with an authentic fishing island, Rasheed and his guest house are the place I would return to. The important thing is to understand that the guest house is an accommodation to rest, refresh and stop between one experience and another, not a resort! So if you are looking for a room in which to rest, cleanliness, delicious food, attention to children and availability, you can only be enthusiastic about this structure. Rascheed and his staff, Hassan, the kitchen staff, the boy who arranges the rooms… we really became fond of everyone and left our hearts there. Every day leaves you amazed, you see views that you usually only see in magazine advertisements, strips of sand, deserted islands, lunches on the beach near the water's edge, unforgettable colours… you will never be able to forget us again!

The room is ok. Breakfast is a lot of cake and sweets mostly. Dinner is good. The excursions were nice. But they charged me an outrageous exchange to pay in Maldivian money. I have never had that happen to me before in any country. I was overcharged by 130usd over the daily online rate. 🙁 I can’t recommend this place.

We stayed for 8 nights in this property, from 25/12 to 02/01. There were several problems during our stay: the bathroom was dirty and had a stench coming from the drain, the shower curtain was too short and was poorly made as it flooded the entire bathroom every time we turned on the water. For 3 days there were no towels, only beach towels, and they were only given to me upon my request. The sheets were never changed in 8 days of stay in the facility. I also found the staff unhelpful: I wanted to do an extra excursion, obviously paying, but no one helped me find a motorboat to do it. The Italian representative was not very present, she didn't even ask how the stay was progressing. The important thing is just to "beat the cash" to do extra activities that are convenient for them, such as the New Year's Eve dinner, paid 35 euros each, or the excursion to see the sharks, paid 15 euros per person. Reading the reviews, I was hoping for a better stay.

I was a guest of this guesthouse in August with my family (6 year old child), to say that I had a good time is an understatement, I felt at home, the ladies in the kitchen prepared a spectacular breakfast for us every morning with biscuits and cakes made on the spot, they were still hot from the oven, we went on excursions every day to a different place, deserted islands, sandbars, wrecks, all included in the agreed price, lunches on the beach, we fished, and to say that in the Maldives you get bored It seems like a joke to me… we can say, although we had some initial problems with my child who eats little or nothing (even at home), then we adapted, we must remember that we are not in a resort, the price paid it's online… if you want the convenience of 10 types of dishes for lunch and dinner, go to the resort (and pay 10 times more). Rasheed and his 2 right-hand men were kind and always available for any problem. My little boy at home still talks about it, and says he wants to go back because they are very sweet with children… You will leave there with tears in your eyes and you will definitely want to come back. The population of the island is kind and smiling. The cleaning ladies came to the room 3 or 4 times a day. Always clean towels every day even for the beach.

We opted for a guest house vs. A resort for its affordable price (we're a family of 5, and so we needed 2 rooms), and we lived a true Maldivian experience thanks to the whole staff! The package includes everything, except flight tickets, with 90 min speedboat from Male airport, breakfast, lunch (on the island and sand beaches) and dinner (with a special maldivian dinnner and a beach barbecue dinner). The guesthouse is small enough (5 rooms), the rooms are cleaned up twice a day, with private bathroom and air conditionin + ceiling fan. The rooms are simple but clean and comfortable. Free Wi-Fi is available. Its best offering are the daily excursions to islands, private islands and sand islands, where the staff sets up nice accomodation with shadow, tables and chairs plus plant decorations that really make the experience unique! We had night fishing, wreck snorkeling, dolphin view, and everyday Rashid took us with his blue Dhoni to a different adventure!
Highly recommended for an affordable experience to Maldives, living the real life of a fishermen village with a private bikini beach (within 2 min from the guesthouse). No alcohol on the island, but water and beverages (coke, sprite etc. ) are free and always available in a guest refrigerator.
