Lily Beach Resort & Spa in Dhangethi

Super great hotel! This was our first time in the Maldives, and all our wishes were more than fulfilled. The restaurants at the resort are top-notch! We will definitely come back :-)

The wait for the boat when departing was a bit long. Also, they didn't provide earplugs for the return seaplane trip.

Really enjoyed the stay, its a beautiful location with great variety of marine life visible on the house reef.

The scenery was breathtaking, and every photo I took was a hit. The hotel was clean, and the in-room self-service bar had a wide selection of snacks and drinks. Lily's snorkeling was truly renowned. I even had a spa treatment, which was incredibly relaxing. I'd definitely go back.

Instructor Ammaty made our stay at Lily Beach a perfect experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Our time at Lily Beach Resort was absolutely amazing, but the highlight was undoubtedly the exceptional instruction provided by Instructor Ammaty at the Water Sports Center. As someone who was previously afraid of the water and completely inexperienced in it, I was initially hesitant to try snorkeling. However, Ammaty, with his incredible support and professionalism, transformed my trepidation into pure excitement!

From the very beginning, Ammaty treated my situation with incredible patience and empathy. On the beach, he took the time to teach me the basics step-by-step using a kickboard and calmly demonstrated how to breathe through a snorkel. His clear explanations, encouraging words, and unwavering faith in my ability to learn made all the difference! Within minutes, I felt safe and eager to explore the underwater world.

In the water, Ammaty was truly exceptional. He stayed by my side, ensuring my safety while gracefully guiding me through the magnificent coral reefs. His attentiveness and dedication allowed me to fully immerse myself in the experience, without a trace of fear. Furthermore, he was more than happy to help me capture those special moments, taking countless wonderful photos. He knew how much these images meant to me—a huge thank you! I never imagined I could enjoy snorkeling so deeply, but Ammaty made it possible.

What truly sets Ammaty apart is his genuine passion for sharing the beauty of the ocean with others. His knowledge of marine life is astounding, and he enthusiastically points out colorful schools of fish, coral formations, and other underwater wonders. His kindness, professionalism, and infectious enthusiasm make every moment underwater unforgettable.

It's rare to find someone who not only excels in their role but also makes guests feel genuinely cared for. Ammaty is not only a skilled instructor but also a warm and inspiring person. He's the reason I've found confidence in the water today, and why I can't wait to return to Lily Beach.

If you're a beginner or hesitant snorkeler, Ammaty is the ideal guide for you. Thank you, Ammaty, for such a delightful and empowering experience. You're a true treasure! I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Finally, I'd also like to thank Dina, Anas, Razan, and the entire team for their sea fishing trip with me and their wonderful traditional drumming performance on the evening of September 5th. I was completely captivated by the lively atmosphere and rhythmic flow that night. I'm also grateful to the rest of the staff at the watersports center. Thank you all for these precious memories. Meeting you later on made up for my initial disappointment with the unpleasant Chinese host upon arrival. The Maldives' scenery is undoubtedly unparalleled, but I think my best memories of this time here are made up for by my friends (especially Ammaty). This was the most perfect trip!

Excellent

It was a truly wonderful experience! A big thank you to our Chinese-speaking staff, Gloria and Eva, as well as Ginas from the water sports center who expertly guided us during snorkeling. They were all incredibly diligent, patient, and responsible, providing excellent service. I will definitely be back again!

Enjoyable and well-serviced trip. Staff there are supportive and passionate.
