Reviews
The hotel room attendant was friendly and nice.
The house reef is disappointing, and $10 for 24 hours to rent snorkeling equipment seems a bit expensive.
The food was neither good nor bad.
Just returned from an amazing 4-night stay at Dreamland Maldives, and overall we were really impressed — especially if you love marine life and peaceful surroundings.
🐠 Snorkeling & Excursions – Absolutely worth it!
The house reef around the island is full of life. We saw nurse sharks, sea cucumbers, and even sea turtles while snorkeling close to shore.
Our favorite excursions were:
• A trip to Hanifaru Bay to watch the majestic manta rays.
• A nurse shark tour around the Dreamland reef — exciting and well organized.
🍴 Food – Delicious and better than expected
We chose the Full Board package (3 meals per day), and the buffet meals were consistently good.
Each day offered a variety of beef, pork, chicken, and fish dishes, along with rotating international options.
We were pleasantly surprised to find Thai dishes occasionally included — such as Tom Yum Chicken Soup and Thai Fish Cakes (Tod Mun Pla) — both authentic and flavorful.
💧 Note – Full Board doesn’t include water
Still water is not included in Full Board.
• A 1.5L bottle costs around $3.50 USD, which adds up over several days.
• If you prefer not to worry about extra drink charges, we recommend going for the All-Inclusive package instead.
🌧️ Weather Tip – Be cautious in July
On our departure day, a storm delayed our seaplane, and we missed our international flight.
If traveling in July (monsoon season), plan extra buffer time or stay a night near the airport before your outbound flight.
Dreamland offers a relaxing and nature-filled getaway with great snorkeling and tasty food.
We’ll gladly return — but next time, with All-Inclusive and flexible travel plans during the rainy season!
We stayed here to celebrate my mother's 88th birthday.
Despite being a small island, the facilities are excellent, and the resort is designed to harmonize with nature.
It feels so good to be able to walk barefoot on the island.
The food is delicious and varied, beyond what you'd expect on a remote island.
I imagine it must be quite difficult to source all that food.
The staff were also very friendly.
We happened to experience a series of malfunctions with the facilities in our room, but the staff responded quickly and always showed concern.
At the end, we received a lovely local souvenir as an apology for the malfunction, and on our return flight, they changed our scheduled domestic flight to a Seaplane.
This resort is truly brimming with hospitality.
The staff were very accommodating by letting is check in early and check out late. It was much appreciated.
Communication with the staff was sometimes difficult. Before checking in, I emailed the staff to ask a couple of questions, but the reply was not very helpful. The same on check out. Also, the representative was not at the airport when we arrived for the seaplane transfer.
You get the first impression of the friendliest Staff Members on the Boat at the pickup at sea. Hospitality and professionalism are at the highest level possible! The villa's are amazingly spacious, beautiful an clean!
The food is amazing! There so much to choose from every meal that you can't not eat allot!
The spa is also really good. The massage are a bit pricey but so worth the money!
The reef is so beautiful and there is allot to see there!
All in all, absolutely relaxing holiday. We stayed for three weeks and we didn't have a moment of boredom!
leads to people in the bars and some ambiente, and the pond in the middle is certainly an unique asset. The only flaw may be the dive spots closeby that are not the best of the atoll. Overall a very good choice.
