10/10
My wife and I got married in June 2015, but it is only during Christmas 2016 that we decided to go on our honeymoon.
The Maldives and the Cerulean View Residence was our first destination where we stayed for a whole week.
We didn't have a big budget, so we couldn't go on a resort. So when we looked for a room that would be below £100, this hotel caught our attention.
The hotel is located in Hanimaadhoo, and it is facing the beach. The condition of the hotel is very good and the staff are very nice. In fact, we felt like being in a 5 stars hotel (that is how the service was amazing!). The room was clean and it has WiFi. As for the TV, there isn't much English channels, but that didn't bother us at all.
Hanimaadhoo is an island where local people leave. They are Muslims, so you do have to respect their tradition and culture. So the hotel won't serve you any alcohol (which didn't hurt us, and we felt was very healthy) and you have to cover your shoulders. If you want to to a bit of sunbathing, the manager will take you to a bikini beach.
As I mentioned, the staff were amazing and very nice. The manager is the only person who could speak English, but he was very often available and extremely nice. We felt very lucky when he invited us to his future brother in law stag night, where we got the chance to see how the local people leave in Hanimaadhoo.
It was a magical holiday and I will recommend everyone to go to this hotel.
