    Very clean and comfortable room. The location is perfect, right on the ocean and steps away from the tourist beach. The Host was very accommodating, and accompanied us on the excursions. He even made videos for us. Staying at Sunrise Lagoon you will get an authentic Maldivian experience that you cannot get on a resort. Very relaxing, peaceful and affordable. WiFi works perfectly. Everything is within walking distance. I highly recommend Sunrise Lagoon for your next adventure. 😀

    We had a wonderful stay! The rooms were very clean and cozy, and the location is perfect—just a short walk to the beach. Breakfast was tasty and a great way to start the day. Riyas was always available, both on WhatsApp and at the guest house, and he helped us with everything we needed. His warm hospitality made our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

    The guesthouse property is new and clean, with comfortable bed and cozy vibe of dining area. The location is close to foreigner beach (bikini beach) and grocery store. And also a secret spot for Manta seeing. Breakfast is provided, you can also order lunch and dinner and dine right after your back from relaxing on beach, all home made food. The activities are optional and I took reef and shark snorkeling, totally fun and wonderful. With professional GoPro filming to record my wonderful underwater journey! The sandbank visit is also calming to enjoy the wave sounds on the white sand. Riyas has warm contacted me before my arrival and picked me up from the port. There is no much schedule to plan in advance, everything is so chill in Gaafaru. Highly recommended this place in Maldives!

    Riyas the host was wonderful, very helpful and really went the extra mile to help us out (and even help me procure a secret birthday cake for my partner at very short notice!). Highly recommend staying here! He even gave us a coconut on arrival :)

    The hotel is new and the room was very clean and comfortable. Wi-Fi works great, high speed and stability! The host is a very nice person, he waited us at the jetty and he gave us coconut welcome drinks. He also gave us free beach towels. The bathroom and shower are amazing and also free toiletries are provided. He was always there to help us, the bikini beach in Gaafaru is one minute walk from the hotel and the water is absolutely clear and breathtaking. The hotel is just near the stingray point, where we had the oportunity to see, feed and touch the stingrays. The hotel arranged for us to have all the meals at a nearby restaurant, where the food and drinks were one of the best tried by us in the Maldives. Highly recommend this place! Thank you, Mr. Ahmed Riyas!

    I spent five wonderful nights at the Sunrise Lagoon and it was truly an unforgettable experience. This hotel is one of the cleanest I’ve stayed in. Every detail was taken care of. One of my favorite parts was being able to watch stingrays just a few steps away from the hotel every evening, it was absolutely magical and peaceful. We also went on a turtle snorkeling trip, which I highly recommend. The hotel arranged everything seamlessly for us, including the trip at a very reasonable price. Another excursion nearby was the nurse shark snorkeling tour. I didn’t join it this time, but I’m definitely planning to next time! In terms of location, Sunrise Lagoon is hands down the best hotel on Gaafaru. It’s brand new, exceptionally clean, and perfectly located. Hotel owner, Riyas, ensured everything went smoothly from transportation to all other details, we felt completely at ease the entire time. On arrival, we were warmly greeted with fresh coconuts, and our room was immaculate. The children bed was also spacious and comfortable. The hotel also went above and beyond with meal orders, ensuring that we were never left waiting for our food. Every evening, we had our meals without delay. This truly was a 5-star experience. Gaafaru’s beach is peaceful and stunning, and I’m already looking forward to coming back. Without a doubt, I’ll be staying at Sunrise Lagoon again!

    The room is clean and tidy, with well-equipped, new facilities. It offers great quality for the price. Gaafaru Island is an ideal choice for relaxation and entertainment, with very friendly locals. Tourists can see stingrays and sharks by the shore in the evening. I booked snorkeling and cruise activities through the room host, and the experience was fantastic. The host was warm and welcoming, addressing most of my concerns.

    Wonderful apartments near the beach. The rooms are clean and new. Continental breakfast. The owner of the apartments is a very friendly and open person. He treated us to coconuts when we met at the transfer. There was also a wonderful trip organized by him to the reefs. I recommend
