Considering that it is a local island, food supply is within reach. Breakfast was therefore quite limited. But this was the case in all accommodation on the island.

The accommodation is located on the main street. On this street there are shops , pharmacy , ambulance , school , town office and police .The road leads across the island to a very nice pier on one side and the Harbour on the other. The accommodation is located in a garden with tropical vegetation in which there are parrots and pools. Check in and all communication with the hotel staff was completely seamless. The staff was very helpful in dealing with our requests. The accommodation provides you with free snorkeling equipment. It even organised a trip for all clients to a abandoned island completely free of charge. The rooms are big enough , the beds were comfortable. Mangoes were offered every day at the reception , which was very tasty.

Breakfast could be much more diverse, it is pretty standard. The same applies for the lunch/dinner even though the portions are big. Also there were issues with electricity during our stay. Bathroom also seems not ventilated good enough.

The overall experience was great for our family. The hotel is in middle of the island right next to the jetty. The room was spaious and facilities were good enough. The hotel also provided bonuses as snorkeling equipment, etc.

Would've been great if there was a variety in pillow thickness! (They were too thick) A second night stand would also be good.

We spent 6 nights at Perla in February and had a wonderful time. It's located in the center of town, right by stores and a dive shop. Also very close are the pier and multiple oceanside restaurants on the west side of the island. Our room at Perla was spatious, clean, and well-designed. It had a large, fairly firm bed for 2, AC, a fan, and a balcony, and was perfect for some cool afternoon naps when it got too hot after a morning of activities. The staff were amazingly nice and helpful, and quick to assist with any questions or requests we had. We got picked up from the boat when we arrived, and were dropped off on our last day. Lunch and dinner was comparable to restaurants in quality & price. Our breakfast was included, with our personal highlight being the mas huni (coconut/tuna/onion) with flatbread. A final nice touch was the complementary beach towels and snorkel gear: a range of masks, snorkels, flippers, and water shoes to use at the beach. You can also borrow free bicycles to ride around the island. You can tell the hotel is run with love and with the guest in mind.

The beds were a little worn out. Unfortunately, the muezzin woke us up every morning at 5 am as the speakers pointed directly at the hotel.

The hotel was lovely, and we loved the clean pool. The staff was super kind. The breakfast buffet changed every morning.

That we needed to go home.

Great centrally located hotel with the most wonderful and welcoming people and great facilities and food and drinks! Everything was perfect, from the arrival to the very last minute. We got speedboat organized by them from the airport, person was waiting for us at the airport to lead us to the speedboat, when arriving there were Perla people at the dock with the car waiting for us to collect our suitcases and drive them to the hotel (even though it is only a 5 minute walk). It is a family run business that will also organize fantastic boat tours, and take care of your safety, comfort and experience more like you are a family, and not a guest. You will have the opportunity to swim with turtles, whale sharks, manta rays, nurse sharks, sting rays and if you are afraid of the deep water they will even provide life vests and a bow that you can hold onto in order to still get into the water, and they will be next to you so you can feel safe. Hotel is run by a wonderful young family that is also taking care of many animals, so you may get to meet baby turtoise or several baby Macaw while your stay. All staff is friendly, putting a lot of effort, rooms are comfortable and clean, air conditioned and a great maintained outdoor pool is just a cherry on top. Tasty Maldivian breakfast, great food that you can order in their live seafood restaurant at any time, free coffee, tea and the water provided daily. They even have snorkeling equipment and beach towels that you can borrow for free. If you are searching for an authentic local island experience highest recommendations for Perla and the Dhangethi island!

The hotel entrance made you feel you’re entering paradise. The bedrooms and dining room were very comfortable and clean, the furniture was nice. The staff was outstandingly hospital, they always had a smile on their face and were there to help with whatever was needed. I’ve never experienced so much kindness and warmth in a hotel. Our stay was an unforgettable experience.

The staff were incredibly helpful and polite, making our stay even more enjoyable. The hotel's food surpassed our expectations, offering some of the best dining in Dhangethi. The rooms were clean, contributing to an overall pleasant and comfortable stay.

The suite is very large, suitable for two adults and two children. The staff were very friendly, and the children had a great time playing. The overseas activities are also very rich, and we recommend everyone to stay.

The food was good, but sometimes it didn't seem as fresh as we'd like. I think that had to do with the meat/fruit/veggies being imported. The TV didn't have a lot of options. We went during monsoon season, so if it was raining, we were in our room. Our TV didn't have Netflix as an option or an English channels (maybe 1 or 2), so I was forced to read my book, which was good...and bad. :)

I chose Perla Dhengati based on reviews saying that the staff was great, the hotel was clean, and the beaches/activities were nice. This is definitely what we found. Siro and the staff (cleaning, restaurant, etc.) were all super friendly and helpful. We went fishing and manta ray snorkeling as activities and that was really nice and Siro gave us some helpful guidance and relatively new snorkelers. He was also super kind and helpful when we had issues (motion sickness, etc.). The people in the village were also super friendly. I felt like we had the island to ourselves, which was definitely nice for an introvert like me. It might have been a bit too quiet for a few of my family members. Also, we had our 3 teen/tween kids in one room and the big family room worked out great for that.

Staff is the best ever! Amazing people, with whom we shared 11 fantastic days! We became friends with Isha (Ikko), Liv, grandma, Siro, Ali, Nade and pretty much everyone else - cooks, cleaning staff etc. (apologies for mistyping or forgetting to mention your names :)). They helped us so much and made our stay a dream come true! During our stay thanks to the excursions Perla organized for us we saw and swam multiple times with whale sharks, mantas, turtles, pods of dolphins, sting rays and also swam with nurse sharks and went to a beautiful shipwreck for snorkelling. On top of that they sent us amazing go pro footage from the excursions for free! We saw local traditions and sampled exotic food during a local festival and it all felt like being part of one big family. We went for a day to a fancy resort nearby but honestly, we would recommend Perla over any modern resort as in Perla Dhangethi you have everything you need on an exotic local island for the fraction of the price one would have to pay at a resort and as a bonus you meet so many cool people from around the world! We will definitely come back soon!

The location itself is the best, the staff was so great especially Mr.Ali was exceptional. The food was amazing, all the islands are neat and clean. The beaches were amazing.

We stayed for two weeks at Perla. We researched many local islands but chose Dhangethi and Perla due to the consistently excellent reviews - people, attitude, location, facilities etc. The advantage with Perla is it offered a pool so we could switch between the beach and the pool. There were many unexpected touches such as water and tea/coffee facilities in the room along with towels to use at the pool/beach. Breakfast was good and sufficiently varied each day. It included bread, butter, jam, cereal, tea, coffee, juice, eggs, beans, sausage along with local sweet bread/cakes and mas huni with roti. One day there were curried potatoes with mustard seeds – no idea what they were called but they were so good we ate most of them! For dinner, we tried a local café twice but decided the food at Perla was far nicer and better value for money so we ate there for the remainder of our trip. There is a laidback vibe at Perla and this complements their professionalism. Communication with the hotel was excellent both before we arrived and throughout our stay. Just ensure you locate the Information Helpdesk on arrival at Male airport so you can be taken to the boat (small blue/white booth located to the left as you exit the baggage area – near the Bank of Maldives booth). Perla staff would inform us on which trips they were offering and on which days. We opted for two trips – manta ray/whale shark snorkelling along with a fishing trip with BBQ. The snorkelling was excellent and we saw both – mainly down to the Perla guys getting us ahead of the action! The fishing trip resulted in our catch being turned into an unexpected romantic BBQ dinner for two on the beach! We would absolutely return to Perla and Dhangethi and I have recommended it to my sister and her partner who are now looking to visit!
