Even if it’s a bit further from the beach, it’s still 15min walking distance, so not far, and you are also surrounded by good restaurants, and close to the port, where you can take some of the trips. To note that breakfast was provided, but it was the same every day and quite basic (you could choose local option or continental), so that could be improved, but overall it was ok, so not much to complain.

Quite a lot of care is put into it, the host has been very friendly and explained a few thinga about the island to us. Very clean, and especially loved and appreciated that we had unlimited water. You had about 1.5l in the room (glass bottles) and you could refill whenever you needed with filtered water, and this reduces also the need of plastic, so really appreciated that. They also provide free bikes. When we first arrived, they couldn’t be used, but then they fixed them. To note they are quite basic, and you cannot change speed or the height of the chair, but depending on how tall you are, they are ok. Another thing they provide for free are snorkels (we didn’t use them, because we had our own) and fins. For the fins, quite a lot of them have defects, and they don’t have all sizes, but we managed to use them once. (As a fun note, after Thoddoo we went to a fency resort, where you had to pay quite a bit to rent a bike or rent snorkels, so we really appreciated even more that in Thoddoo we had them for free, even if they weren’t in the best shape)

The room was nice and clean. Also we have a terrace in facility. The breakfest were great especially traditional maldives breakfest (tuna + coconut) - every day fresh meal and fresh fruits. Owner and also room guy were very helpful. They clean our room whenever we want, they change everyday towels for us (also beach towels), when we asked them they also do laundry for our clothes. We have still a lot of water , it wasn’t necessary to buy bottle of water everyday because they have filtrated water which you can use all day for drinking. Also the owner was very nice because he managed for us a ferry and even when we had to check out early they take us with the car to the port. And for the last day they make for everyone who was accomodate excursion around the island (history of the island, we were on plant fields, they gave us a lot of fresh fruits from the fields and also they take us to feed little goats.

When I come to Athri Velli, I was greeted with welcome coconut drink and this was perfect because of very hot weather! That what I really need after 3 hours flight and 1 hour on the boat. After checking-in the manager (or owner) Ali told me to show the island. This kind proposal I seen first time in hotels and agreed. This was very nice! So he was invite me to sit on passenger seat on bike and start to show me best places in Thoodoo. We also go to the beach with perfect sunset! Ali shows me where to buy local fruit and a very good place for dinner. I was very tired after flight, but happy to see sunset from the first day! You know, sometimes you can find a place, where you feel like home. There is that place from first day of stay. The room was not big, but very comfy and clean. And quiet on territory. Location also perfect, around 7 minutes walk to bikini beach, and even free bikes and snorkeling equipment was provided! And what even more important - I can pay with my visa credit card. After going to the beach, it was very very hot outside, but inside the room can use air conditioner + fan and it was very comfortable there. And at morning stuff give me a Maldivian breakfast with perfect quality juice! Very big portions, so I put half to the fridge for evening! P.s. WiFi is enough to make zoom calls and YouTube videos! Perfect. Thank you for this great experience on the great Thoodoo! Here is all you need, so totally recommend.

We had a great stay at Ali's hotel. They took great care of us and they even took us on a tour to visit the fruit fields and gave us coconut to drink and passion fruit. The breakfast was good and tasty.

Thoddoo and Athiriveli is the perfect place to stay if you want to experience a local island and get first class familiar service from Ali and his staff. There are two tourist beaches, both very nice and clean. The hotel offers free buggy transportation. They also help you arranging different island tours, snorkelling, diving and boat trips. The Maldivian breakfast is amazing! The best restaurant is Kavaab. This was my second time at Athiriveli and got a free guided tour at the local plantations and could pick my own fruit from the trees. Very priceworthy and warmly recommended!

Muhammed, Ali and their staff helped us in every situation from beginning to end. So owner and staff are perfect. Thoddoo is very good island with fresh fruits and tropical trees. Big beach is amazing. Although we encountered rain sometimes, sea and beach are always great.

I liked everything, that's why I think this is a good place to stay here again.

1. Excellent location of the hotel, close to shops and the beach. The hotel has bicycles, masks and so on. 2. The room is very cozy and clean, it is cleaned every day (there are also Russian TV channels). Nice breakfast, fruit for breakfast every day. 3. The owners of the hotel (Ali and his brother) are very hospitable and friendly people who will help you and do everything to please you. Special thanks for the day before my departure. I am grateful to you and will be glad to see you again!

Ali, Mohamed and the rest of the Athiri Veli team made us feel comfortable throughout our stay. The room is clean, tidy with all the facilities mentioned in the description. We were welcomed with fresh coconut drinks and taken on a tour to introduce the island immediately as we arrived. We love that the island is famous for fruits and Ali also took us on a complementary fruit farm tour towards the end of our stay - we were gifted a few freshly picked fruits as well! Overall it was a great experience.

Well, nothing. We enjoyed everything

We had such a pleasurable stay at the guesthouse! Everything was perfect, especially the service. Farish was very friendly and helpful. He took us to plantations and organized us breakfast at 6 am. We had convenient transfer and we were warmly met everywhere. Staff showed us around the island and helped to find shops with fruits and the beach. The location was perfect, near the beach. Our breakfast was Maldives specials and it was really enjoyable. Thank you so much for making our trip unforgettable!

The trip was the best. Athiriveli is one of the best hotels on the island. The staff was very friendly, polite and hospital. The beach was very beatiful with amazing reef. The most impressive memorize is swimming with turtles. I'm very strongly recommend to spent your vacation in the Athiriveli hotel!
