"The rooms are quite new for this local island; the owner said it only opened in May of this year. The main advantage is that every room has a sea view. We compared many hotels on the island before choosing this one, and we were very satisfied with our stay. They even have Chinese food available, and you can sign up for water excursions through the owner at a reasonable price of $90 USD per person for three activities. There's a 1-on-2 dive guide, and since we're not great swimmers, we needed to be pulled along the whole time – they were very responsible. We also signed up for a trial dive; their hotel is a PADI dive shop with Chinese-speaking instructors, and we took many photos. Overall, we were very satisfied."

"nice local guesthouse right by the beach with clean, simple rooms. The staircase to the upper floor is steep, but our luggage was brought up and collected for us. Breakfast and meals with tables on the beach were very tasty. Mosquitoes were present, which is normal, but spray was available everywhere. The island itself is under construction, with building work ongoing, but the locals are very friendly. The best fruits — papayas, mangoes, watermelons, and mandarins with their own floral flavor — we had on Ukulhas."

"Muhteşem bir otel, şimdiye kadar gördüğüm en güler yüzlü ve ilgili personel! Kesinlikle tekrar geleceğim. Harika oda, lezzetli kahvaltılar, süper konum, temiz ve rahat! Misafirperverliğiniz için teşekkür ederim ♥️♥️♥️ İşine olan tutkusu ve her durumda yardımı için Rezaul'a özel teşekkürler!"

"We had to change hotels at the last minute due to an unexpected issue, and I was so pleasantly surprised by this place. Even though we arrived very late, the staff greeted us warmly and made us feel immediately welcome. Our room was modern, well-equipped, and spotless. The floors were mopped daily, not just swept, which made the stay even more comfortable. Despite the late arrival, the staff asked about our breakfast preferences for the next morning. The breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of options to choose from. The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive. They even assisted us with our speedboat transfer and helped organize our onward journey. The hotel has modern facilities, and every detail of our stay was positive. I highly recommend it!"

"If you want to experience the genuine hospitality of the Maldives, nothing beats spending time on one of the local islands. And boy, did we get a hearty dose of warmth, friendship and sheer authenticity in Ukulhas, specifically Ukulhas Sands. Even before we arrived, the proprietor, Saeed, had helped us make arrangements for our transport, given us tips and advice on how to make the most of our time here, and generally made getting to the island fuss-free. He personally greeted us at the pier, and took on a short but informative walk to his homely premises, which we found out later was built on his family land. So basically it was an extension of his family home, and we stayed right next to his extended family - and were pretty much treated the same. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and had all the amenities we needed including good wi-fi. It was on the ground floor so going in and out was easy, and the reception counter was just next door for convenient access if we needed anything. While staying at Ukulhas Sands, we also met Shau, Saeed's sister and an exceptional chef. The breakfast that's served at the hotel is cooked by her, and I recommend you choose a different set each day just to get a taste of her diverse culinary expertise. If you, like us, can't get enough of her cooking, you can walk down the street to her cafe, where she can cook up delicious local delights for dinner. You can also enjoy her home-made pastries and ice-cream as you wile away the afternoon. All of that is well and good, of course, but what about that most important feature - access to the beach? Well, no worries there - just a five minute walk in virtually any direction gets you to the sands - hence the name. We tried a different section of the island every day we were there. Our favourite spot was near a beach swing to the West of the island, which we accessed through an opening opposite a public running track/football pitch. The water is calmest there, and the sands aren't as filled with coral remnants as the other areas. Bring a beach towel, some snacks, your favourite book and you're all set for the day! All in all, Saeed and the Ukulhas Sands family made our first trip to the Maldives memorable, and we'll definitely stay here again if there's ever a second trip :P"

"An absolutely dreamlike island. This was our third time here, and once again we were completely thrilled. The island is a dream. Peaceful, with a beautiful (house) reef right off the beach (only 10 meters away), allowing you to explore the enchanting, colorful fish, turtles, and reef sharks while snorkeling. The only downside is the construction of three hotels, which has somewhat diminished the island's original charm. We hope that Ukulhas doesn't succumb to tourism. Fazeel and his staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. The accommodation is spotlessly clean and still quite affordable. We wholeheartedly recommend Sea La Vie! Thank you again for the wonderful vacation! We hope that Ukulhas will not be ruined by tourism. Fazeel and his staff are incredibly helpful and friendly.

"The place is quite a decent guesthouse. It is a bit depressing. We stayed here for two nights; it was okay, but not the best. The toilet was old and not clean. The room is dark. Although nothing is far on this island, this place is not at the beach. The crew is friendly!"

"This is a guesthouse where you feel at home... where they help you with any difficulty... if you think of coming here, you will find serenity, warmth, and friendliness... it is seafront and very, very nice. A heartfelt thanks to Aoulad who manages the property together with Ali, a perfect staff whose presence adds value to the property. I will not forget Sara Poli, my contact, who introduced me, welcomed me, helped me, and put up with me😅 Thank you all, you are in my heart ❤️"

"Not a bad hotel, located on the coast, breakfast is modest, location is excellent, there was a damp smell in the room."
