I had an absolutely fantastic stay, the staff are incredible, rooms clean and spacious and the food absolutely delicious. I was nervous about being a solo traveller, and this wasn’t a problem at all, variety of guests and friendly staff made for a very welcome stay! Will definitely be returning!

8/10 Very good

Hotel with loads of potential but few mistakes
Rooms are beautifully decorated and spacious, however, I booked a superior room and got an interior room with views to a 1spm patio with all aircon engines. When asked for a change, they told me it was not available. Breakfast was basic but nice and tasty, as well as dinners. On check out I was asked by a gentleman to pay for the room and meals, yet everything was already paid for.. I did not mind, yet I found it very unprofessional. Sundbeds at 'bikini beach' are def a plus.

2/10 Poor

Terrible
We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights only but it felt like 2 weeks. The room was dirty and the view terrible. There are so much constructions going on around the island and its very limited things to do. Beach area was OK, but nothing special. Some of the staff members were really helpful, but others the opposite. We were given incorrectly information by the reception multiple times causing our plans to crash. There were huge insects in the room coming from the washroom. No warm water at the beginning, so staff had to fix it. The electricity dissapeared out of the blue(only in our room), so the staff had to fix it.

Everyone was very helpful and nice at Ayala, thanks for eveything. Hope the construction on the island will be over asap.

Excellent choice! I really recommend this hotel
We really loved our stay at this hotel. It was the best choice ever. The staff was really friendly and helpful, the facilities were great, and the room had everything we needed. The location was good, food was extremely tasty and diverse. The hotel made our stay there very enjoyable and for sure we want to return there one day.

Great place to stay (also with family)
Great place to stay - THE place at Gulhi. The only issue is the construction work next to the hotel (8.00-16.30 daily). Not a big issue for us. Very friendly staff and great service at the hotel (would recommend half/full board). Twice housekeeping per day is great!

Great hotel on a quiet island with wonderful beach
We started our Maldives holiday with a visit to Guhli Island (small local fisherman idland) staying at Ayala. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we were looked after very well. The hotel is very nice on a very quiet island with a beautiful beach. We had free designated sun loungers in a prime spot on Bakini beach. We chose half board, but we found outselves drawn back for all other meals because the food was so good. We would love to go back and visit again one day.

All good especially staff energy and aptitude. All staff should be trained to be as welcoming and knowledgeable as the Filipino and Indonesian staff.

10/10 Exceptional

We stay at Ayala Ocean View 1 week and its the best hotel on the Island. If you are looking for a nice accomodation for a good price, I can just recommend. Staff very helpful, Hotel new and clean, food also very tasty. Next to hotel is these day a big construction, so they make some noise from 8:00-18:00 everyday but thats the only negative point. Dont hesitate and book early, that u get your room 🙂

Best holiday experience with child
Hotel was the best you could imagine I was with my son, which is a fussy eater he love the food over there me to. Best restaurant on the Gulham is in Ayala. Big choice from burger to chicken tikka masala. All the staff was amazing, very helpful and kind. I had very good feel about that hotel. From the moment you book the room they looking after you till the moment they get you back to Airport. You can prearrange transportation from Male Airport for $25 per person paid at the hotel and contact through the WhatsApp. Very very clean hotel they do clean rooms twice a day. Thank you to the Francis from reception and the other young lady and lovely people in the restaurant and all the others which I don’t know the names but they make my stay very memorable. Ps the air condition works great as everything else in that hotel they even have premier league Chanel. Thank you very much

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed one week in the "Super Cute" two-bedroom suite. The rooms were high quality, comfortable, and immaculate. The staff (housekeeping, front desk, restaurant, and excursion) were all fantastic and detail-oriented. We ate nearly all our meals at the Benha restaurant on site, where everyone could find something they liked. We did one excursion, snorkeling with sharks, and, on top of enjoying the experience itself, I felt like the trip was managed very well. When we visited Gulhi Beach, the staff would set out chairs for us under an umbrella. Some things to keep in mind: 1. Gulhi is a local island, so no alcohol and you must dress modestly when going around the (very small island). 2. The beach area is nice, but small. There are watersport rentals available. 3. The hotel has regularly scheduled speedboat transfers. 4. The island does burn trash. We only noticed this on one day of our stay. 5. In Maldives, traveling on Fridays is more difficult, so best to avoid Friday afternoons for travel. 6. Gulhi is small, so options are limited for everything.

Splendid and superb stay
What can I say... it is a superb! From the services, cleanings, dedicated beach umbrellas closest to the sea, and of course the amazing food! We have stayed for 6 days including breakfast & dinner, but we were also coming back to have lunch here because the chef is awesome! Overall service charge was low, but all the staffs were friendly and very kind. Their SPA is almost the only one within nearby islands and they got amazing esthetitians as well. Extended excursions to watch dolphines, nurse shark, whale shark, sting gray, turtle were all successful - thanks to Iron from sandyheaven! Overall, we could also see their management on contingency was perfect. Once the toilet on groundfloor nearby restaurant was broken they started immediately repairement and guiding all guests not to have an impact from unpleasant smell. The manager of this hotel seems to have a mild but extraordinary leadership, and he takes care of the hygiene the most. The beach closeby is very friendly for family with kids, white sand beach with low tide before noon. All other guests are very friendly and you can easily make friends, too! It was splendid days in Ayala!

4/10 Fair

I was quite surprised by the positive reviews I read, but after staying at Ayala, I can confidently state that they are mostly paid/fake Pros: - Gulhi is not far from Male, quick to get to, speedboat service working fine - Beach is near the hotel - Sunbed/umbrellas available - Excursions Cons: - booked a room for 3, turned out to be a regular room for 2 with a cot near the bed. Rooms itself is very small, so making 3 people stay there is inhumane. Cot had no mattress on it, felt like sleeping on the floor - rooms get 'cleaned' twice a day, but they hardly replace sheets and provide fresh towels only once a week. They don't take out the used/dirty towels. Floor is not being cleaned - no robes, no slippers. Problems with hot water, very hard to regulate the temperature and water in the shower constantly and randomly goes from hot to cold. Hot water also smells unpleasant. TV in the room is basically useless: not set up, does not connect to internet - no variety in breakfast, always the same. Dinners differ, but overall food quality is average. Shortage of deserts and, especially, fruits, which is quite disappointing. - waiters seem to take care only of the big families staying in, they set up tables for them in advance and no one is allowed to use that area. Should be constantly reminded to proved basic stuff like tissues. Staff may also confuse you with false promises (eg. promised to provide robes, mattress, turned out to not have those) Wouldn't stay here the second time
