The natural environment of the hotel is very good and suitable for snorkeling. It is a very friendly and low-key island, more suitable for family travel. It’s not far from Male, and it takes 20 minutes to get to the island by speedboat.

Top snorkeling holy place! You can go to the opposite Banyan Tree for free, with towering trees, but the rooms are slightly smaller, and the meals are more popular. Overall, it is a very good resort.

Our family often comes to Maldives and stayed here for five nights. Let's talk about the good and bad objectively. Good: 1) There is a Malaysian lady at the front desk who can speak Chinese, and she can serve Chinese families who are not good at English very well and in a timely manner. The lady's surname is wong, and she is very patient and meticulous, but sometimes she is on the morning shift and can't find her at night. 2) The overall quality of the service staff on the island is OK. They are polite and always greet you. Hary, the general manager of the island, is probably a Singaporean? The person who is fluent in English is very kind, and he also pays attention to the preferences and opinions of customers. He said that if Chinese people are not used to eating meals, they can ask the chef to cook some Chinese dishes. 3) The state of snorkeling is OK. We were lucky to see sea turtles, many nurse sharks and a few clusters of living corals. Because the island is very small, there are five water inlets for a detour. It takes about three days to finish watching it. After a few days, I have no interest in going into the water, and there is nothing new. And in the off-season, it is windy, waves, heavy rain and mixed water, and there will be big waves and choking water, or you will come up without seeing anything. Oh, by the way, there is a very lonely heron wandering around on this island, and many children went to take a group photo. bad: 1) Hygiene is a big issue! Our family has been to the Maldives three times. Among the mosquito bites this time, cockroaches and ants are the most. Other islands do not seem to be like this. Our family has 15+ mosquito bites and it is extremely itchy. There is mosquito repellent liquid inserted in the room but it is ineffective, and there are several cockroaches after spraying the mosquito spray. 2) We chose the all-inclusive three-board drink, the breakfast is almost the same every day, and the lunch and dinner are also extremely repetitive. Maybe other friends can try to order food, there are options such as burgers and bento boxes. If it is all inclusive, it must be very tired to eat for three days. 3) The snorkeling tubes, masks, flippers, and life jackets provided by the diving center for free are of poor quality. And the banana boats on other islands are free to play. Here, it costs 40 US dollars for 15 minutes. The price of going to sea is also high and his dive guide's English is not very good. 4) The sister island Banyan Tree and Dhawa are very similar. They are both small islands with almost the same beach style, and the shuffle boat runs every two hours, which means that I went to Banyan Tree and walked around for ten minutes, and then I had to wait. 1h45 back to your own island. 5) The room was not cleaned in a timely manner, and the sheets hadn't been changed for five days, why should a tropical island be changed every two days! It’s just that the waiter makes the bed a little bit every day... The toothbrushes given are not timely or not enough, and the waiter’s English is very plastic.

The rooms are average, the food and beverages are not rich but the products are excellent. The snorkeling environment is very good, you can see sharks and turtles. The service is pretty good, the room and yard are cleaned very well. The island is very small and only takes 10 minutes to walk around. You can participate in the hotel's snorkeling, fishing, and dolphin watching at reasonable prices. There is a gym but no swimming pool.

Six bottles of drinking water are provided in the room every day, which is very good. The snorkeling environment is very good. A few meters after swimming, the trench is just a few meters away. It is very comfortable to take a bubble bath every night. There are Chinese-speaking service staff at the front desk, and you can take a speedboat to go nearby for free. Snorkeling in the sister islands, the meals are all ordered, and the taste is also good. Online service staff are very enthusiastic

My wife and I came for a 5 day break at the end of a tour of Sri Lanka. We are snorkelers and that was our specific focus during this time The room was close to the dining and bar areas but was not affected by this in any negative way. In fact it was very convenient as the bar staff were always happy to top up an ice bucket for the evening beverage. It was also nicely sheltered on the western side given the wind was generally from the East in our time here. We had a jacuzzi bath which was fun. Food was very good and as we were there only 5 nights the buffet nights and special themes worked well without repeats. Breakfast was excellent and we managed to make ourselves keep lunch fairly light although there was always plenty to tempt us with. As other reviews have commented, the staff are a real strength for Ihuru, from Hussain who kept our room immaculate and tailored the replenishments to the things we actually wanted, the restaurant waiting staff standouts included Salmaan from the folk night as well as Sujena and Adam. Plus all of the bar staff of course! The managers were always about and happy to chat. The snorkeling was varied but always at least good, there is clear evidence of coral regrowth but it does have a way to go whilst in our time there there was a haziness to the water so the deeper water wasn’t really visible down the wall as you swam, probably due to dredging and resort developments in the area rather than on Ihuru itself. The morning swim sound the island was a wonderful start to the day and at 1 km was quite doable even though neither of us qualifies as a spring chicken any longer. We saw the Hawksbill Turtles, Black tip and White tip Sharks and a Black Eagle Ray as well a myriad of the usual suspects on a reef in the area. We did swim at Banyan but found the access points much further from the beach than on Ihuru and were less impressed by their reef. This is a delightful resort that is easy to reach from the airport but away from the busy area near Male. Well managed and the exceptional staff are its strength.
