Hotel Chak’z 1964 Beach  

03 Jan 2025

Dharavandhoo Island is not overcrowded with tourists. The island has four restaurants and 2 ATMs. Payments can be made in dollars, euros, or the local currency, and some shops and restaurants also accept bank cards. When ordering food at the restaurant, expect a wait of 60 to 90 minutes for your order to be prepared. We arrived on the island with a local airline. The tickets were arranged at the hotel. There are enough loungers on the sandy beach. Just a few meters from the beach, you reach the edge of the coral reef, which feels like a busy tropical aquarium. The island is an excellent base for divers and excursions. The rooms are spacious, and the equipment is relatively new. The staff is very friendly. Special praise goes to the hotel manager Abdullah Riyaz, who was always available and willing to help. Despite some negative comments about the WiFi in particular reviews, it worked quickly and without interruptions in the room. The Maldivian food and fish were excellent (the preparation of European dishes could be improved).

Dharavandhoo I liked the fact that it was wider and cleaner than any other accommodation. The most important thing in the accommodation was the cozy bed and the water pressure in the shower. Above all, I was moved by the accommodation staff who responded in real time through WhatsApp. I was able to enjoy a variety of excursions.

The scenery and activities is pretty similar across the various guesthouses on the island, we saw turtles and rays when snorkeling near the beach. I will focus more on what makes Chak’z stand out instead. I really love the rooms. They are new, big and very spacious. There is enough space to lay out all our swimming and photography equipment. We got a room on the ground floor so there is direct access to the beach. I love to sit on the sofa near the glass window to look at the sea at times. The service staffs at Chak’z are also very kind, they really try their best to attend to all our requests. During our manta and snorkeling trips, Husham will always look out for us and make sure we are safe and well. We didn’t eat often at the in-house restaurant, but no matter what time we go, the guys will immediately greet us and get to work. The food always tasted great! Their breakfast is very simple, not a very fancy buffet with many dishes. But it was good for us because we love Maldivian tuna roshi. Chak’z Roshi is one of the softest that I have ever eaten. If you like varieties, there are many eateries around the island within 10 min’s walk. You can also get many things from the local supermarket. If we ever visit Dharavandhoo again, we will definitely stay at Chak’z again.

We were with a child and stayed in the hotel for a week. The hotel staff is wonderful, any issue is resolved very quickly. Husham Poky and his marine team is just a dream team! The manta safari was great and unforgettable! The hotel is beautifully located right on the beach. The beach is clean and very nice. The reef is very close and the snorkelling is very convenient - diverse sea life! We took full board and it was the right choice, all the meals were delicious and adapted. Thank you for a wonderful holiday, we will definitely come back !

We had such an incredible stay!!! The hotel was clean and the staff was attentive and helpful all the time. We went manta snorkelling most of the time. The beach in front of the hotel is also great to jump and have a swim with the snorkel. Great bed and good breakfast (we even had Maldivian food!!!). We'll come back for sure! Thank you very much for everything ❤️

I would love to say HUGE thank you to Riyaz and Husham for our amazing holidays! You made impossible. After living for long time in Dubai we were sure we would never ever experience the same level of service anywhere in the world ( and we travel a lot) BUT not ! You guys exceeded all our expectations. Such a warm welcoming. All our 8 nights we were feeling like we came to visit our family. Thank you for Riyaz, before the flight I was asking hundreds of questions and he patiently and very fast answered all of them. Was very helpful. He arrange a transfer for us accordingly. All the excursions were organized for us very professionally. So kind person. Thank you Husham for giving a fun rides on golf car for our son! He loves it! Thank you for fishing and the best photos which we have now as a best memories. Hotel is super new. Same as photos. Super clean, just on the bikini beach. Thank you chief for asking what our kids love to eat for breakfast and cooking for them. Your pancakes and waffles were amazing! HIGHLY RECOMMEND to everyone who wants to feel home warm vibe in Paradise!
