Turtle Maldives - Your Gateway to the Beach & Marine Adventures Await!

We just returned from this wonderful holiday in the Maldives. Turtle is a beautiful, new, and clean property just steps from Bikini Beach. Everyone was very kind and helpful, and you practically had everything you needed. We had full board, and I can say we ate wonderfully. Most of the people staying at other properties came to eat at our restaurant. Omadhoo Island is another local island where the locals smile and greet you. Bikini Beach is beautiful, with a reef that can be seen even by those who can't swim. What can I say? A wonderful experience, one to repeat as soon as you return, you'll be longing for these beautiful places. Thanks to Turtle for making our holiday so wonderful.

Una piccola guest house vicina alla bikini beach. Camera non molto grande ma pulita e con tutto il necessario. Hazim che si occupa della struttura è un ragazzo davvero gentile e disponibile. La cucina del ristorante semplice e buona.

We've been guests at Turtle twice in just over a year: for New Year's Eve 2023 as a couple, and in February 2025, we brought my in-laws with us. It's an excellent guest house with a very convenient location. The staff is always available to help and accommodate guests' requests. From planning the holiday to the activities, we've always arranged everything with them without a problem. They've also always gone out of their way to provide us with surprises, romantic dinners, sand banks, etc., all courtesy of them. Above average compared to local restaurants. Furthermore, their restaurant remains the best on the island. There's no need to waste words on this wonderful island, where we'll return again, always as guests of Turtle.

We stayed at Turtle in late February/early March and had a completely negative experience. Reading the reviews, it feels like we've stayed at another guesthouse. We had problems right from the start with the excursions. Turtle's prices are the highest on the island, and talking to them didn't solve anything. We tried other guesthouses with much more reasonable prices, but we needed approval from ours, which they wouldn't grant. Once we requested the whale shark and manta ray excursion (which left us with no choice but to not do it), we were told it would be organized the following morning. Having requested confirmation the night before, we were instead told by another person that it was too late to organize it because it had to be done sooner. Since it wasn't our fault, this person stayed until 11:30 PM trying to find us a speedboat for the following day. During the excursion, which we ultimately paid €230 per person, we were told that there were no manta rays and that we could go looking for turtles (they didn't even take us to the area where they usually go to look for manta rays; it's obvious they hadn't returned on time for the excursion and had to make us go back). Terrible organization: for our return, the speedboat was supposed to take us to Malé airport (which we were told several times, even just before boarding the boat), but our guesthouse only told them "Malé," so we ended up somewhere completely different, and this was also reported to us by the person driving and managing the speedboat. The chef and waiter, unlike our contact, were very kind. Otherwise, the rooms are clean and the food is good. I recommend not getting the full package with the buffet because it's really poor, unlike the à la carte option, where there's much more choice.

Wonderful experience.. my boyfriend and I are having a romantic dinner on the beach on our last day at the turtle.. we have no words to describe this place, the sea is sensational but the best memory that we will always carry with us will be the people.. Imma, Azim, the chef and the manager were very kind to us, attentive to all our needs.. the food is excellent and the facility is very clean... come come come!!!
