Three Hearts

The accommodation provides spacious, clean rooms and a delicious breakfast. Its ideal location near beaches and friendly staff ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay. However, there are no specific disadvantages mentioned.

This review is only about the restaurant, which we used twice during our week-long stay on Fulhadhoo island. We did not stay in this hotel. The waiting staff in the restaurant are very nice and very helpful. However I'm not sure what they're trying to do in terms of the food they offer. Could it be that they feel they need to cater to "western" tastes and avoid anything that looks even vaguely exotic? The "crispy potato pakora" is just deep-fried potato slices and looks nothing like any pakora that I've ever seen on my 6 visits to India. Perhaps they do it differently in the Maldives. The beef Madras curry was nothing like any Madras I've had before. It should be decidedly hot and spicy, but it was bland and sweet and thus a big disappointment. Two other members of our party had something with chickpeas and that was also rather sweet. Why the need to make things sweet like this? The second visit was a bit more successful in that a couple of us ordered fish dishes and while one of them was simply grilled - you can't do much wrong there - the other one had a beautiful piece of fish but a rather nondescript yellow sauce, although the grated vegetables were quite good. The ice cream was not very cold and didn't really resemble ice cream at all in texture; it was more like a semi-solid chocolate or vanilla sauce. I don't expect a place like Fulhadhoo, where everything except perhaps fish and a couple of other things has to be imported, to be cheap, but on both occasions the bill was decidedly on the high side and in my opinion, it's not good value for money.

We were so fortunate to have found 3 hearts on Fulhadhoo Island as it was just what we needed. It was peaceful and quiet and the sea was just magical. From the moment we arrived in Male airport we were really well looked after during our 5 night stay. There was no pressure to go on any activity but when we did it was very well organised. Simbe realised that we were an older couple and made sure that we were completely safe , staying with us in the water the whole time. We saw turtles and Manta rays and it was an astonishing sight. Our accomodation was brand new so it was lovely and fresh. Very roomy and a great size bathroom which makes all the difference. We even had a little garden courtyard which I retreated to when it got too hot . We decided on half board and glad we did as the food was great with good variety. It was a pleasure staying with Elvira and Simbe.
