裡普爾海灘賓館

I was looking specifically for a beach front hotel on Hulhumale island. I selected this hotel based on price, room size and because it was a penthouse suite with a sea view balcony. Let’s start with the not-so-good things. It is really a boutique hotel/guesthouse, which is probably similar to most accommodations along this stretch of the island as we discovered. It doesn’t have a lift, and the stairs were very narrow, which, again is probably similar to other establishments in the area. The penthouse was on the top floor, which is kind of converted from an attic, so the headroom is low at some parts of the room. We requested for an insecticide spray after we checked into the room as there were some mosquitoes. Upon spraying the insecticide at the corners of the room and under the furniture, it forced several cockroaches out and I had to deal with them. The shower is one of the areas with low headroom, resulting in the shower head being installed at a height of about 3 feet. This made taking a shower standing upright very difficult and often times you’d have to squat or kneel. The balcony also had a low roof so there’s very limited space for you to stand and admire the sea view, add to that some dilapidated wooden rails, it didn’t entice one to spend more time out on the balcony. Breakfast was provided but we were served the exact same food, consisting of toast, omelette and sausage, every morning throughout our stay. Now for the good things, though I’m hard-pressed to find many to write about. It is conveniently located, with many convenient stores, shops and good restaurants around the area within walking distance. The beach is just right in front of the hotel so it’s easy to walk across the road and have a dip in the sea. The hotel staff were helpful and organized a snorkeling excursion for us which was enjoyable. Having said all that, I would imagine the same qualities can be said of the dozens other hotels in the same area or along the same stretch of the beach. All in all, I wouldn’t say it was a dreadful stay, but for the price I expected somewhat of a more comfortable and accommodating room. Then again, I might be wrong as that may be the going rate for such a 3-star accommodation in the area and you’d have to pay considerably more to have a better hotel.

好的一面是：對面是大海和海灘，但我不建議游泳（晚上散步時，我看到一個女孩嘔吐到海裡，一個年輕人（不是孩子！）毫無尷尬地尖叫）。床和床墊都很棒。空調工作正常。房間裡有熨斗。酒店靠近公園和各種餐廳。缺點：電視上有灰塵、地板壞了、椅子壞了、冰箱髒了、噪音大（當地人喜歡騎摩托車，這種噪音直到凌晨2點才會聽到）。網路非常非常弱。浴室也不是很理想（我附上照片），但也有溫水和盥洗用品。工作人員有求必應，幫我們叫了計程車。

住在這家酒店一直很愉快我已經在這家酒店住過幾次，每次我去馬爾代夫市呆 2/3 天，我總是想住在這裡。工作人員很有效率。令人愉快且樂於助人。特別感謝業主（Nazeer 先生），他一直希望確保客人感到舒適且超級友好。該位置就在海灘前面，靠近主要區域，對於那些喜歡購物和烹飪的人來說更容易。房間超級舒適，一切都融入了床，白天小睡了這麼久 總的來說，我在 Ripple Beach Inn 度過了一段愉快的時光，並建議我一個月後回來！

這是胡魯馬累最好的酒店。我們住在頂樓，可以欣賞到美妙的海景，房間也是一流的。一切正常而且乾淨。最好的價錢。周圍有很多值得一看的地方和不錯的餐廳。我要特別感謝 Naseer 先生從登記入住到退房的熱情款待，以及友好的團隊，他們告訴我們很多我們在馬爾代夫可以做的事情。 10 出 10.👍👍👍👍👍。我們在頂層公寓住了將近兩週，我非常感謝他們為我們提供的服務和支持。我強烈推薦 Ripple Beach Inn。
