“Not at all 5 stars! False advertisement!”

I would not normally write such a review, but on this occasion I felt like the experience was so poor and different from what was advertised and charged at a high price that it required an honest review to warn others. We stayed at Dhevatara for 4 nights. From the moment we checked in we had a very unfriendly welcome, no smile, no hospitality from check in start to finish. Definitely not what you expect considering the high price paid and especially for a ‘small boutique hotel’. There was only one lady running the whole check in process on arrival, then covering dinner service, plus the bar service the whole evening. Speaking of food, if you wish to place a food order please be prepared to wait 3 business days to receive your food. Especially at breakfast (bring a newspaper to read), the service was extremely slow. On top of this, the waitress had offered us that there would be the possibility to order some Gluten Free bread for my Coeliac partner the next day, provided we inform them. Each day we kindly asked if they would honor what they originally offered and each morning they forgot, in the end we gave up. Please do not offer options which never materialise. The speed of service was so slow, you could see many guests also getting frustrated each morning. I would also like to mention each morning we ordered fruit, yoghurt and cornflakes, something which shouldn’t take long to prepare. Eventually when we did receive our food, please be aware, it looks nothing like the picture’s advertised. The burger was so uncooked we had to send back to the kitchen (request well done) and their French toast was burnt in the morning. The pool is extremely murky and full of debris at the bottom when swimming in, to the extent you cannot see the bottom (slimy). It needs a good clean. In the room, i was unable to use the kettle to boil water as it was brown and rotten inside and there were stains on the towels.

Food was pretty bad and basic options.

“Great service”

Fantastic beach 50 meters away! Sunsets. Very kind and helpful staff

“Anniversary tranquility at Dhevatara”

Love the tranquility at the hotel. The hotel is a walking distance from the best restaurants that we managed to try out while we were there. The staff at the hotel were very attentive, warm, and accommodating to our request. We thoroughly enjoyed out anniversary trip. The food was amazing, especially loved the breakfast spread with different choices to indulge in.

“We expected something better for a 5 stars.”

The room was nice and clean. One receptionist was really kind and helpful, and the rest of the staff, including the cleaning guy, were nice and professional. Also the breakfast was good and the service was efficient. The taxi driver was kind with us.

The hotel is in a lovely location, the rooms are spacious and the staff are kind and friendly. I was particularly impressed with chef. The dinners were excellent!

“We quite enjoyed our trip in the country but I would recommend to go elsewhere because too expensive”

The staff was very nice and convenient (they did arrange taxi transfers very well). The island is great but this is incredibly expensive for what it is...

- big and comfortable room, very peaceful and relaxing hotel (10 rooms only) - honeymoon gift (bottle of champagne and fruit platter) - free transfer from/to the jetty, as well as to the beach (we stayed at Dhevatara during monsoon season, therefore there was a lot of seaweeds on the hotel beach)

“VERY BAD HOTEL”

VERY SAD TAKE MONEY FOR 2 NIGHTS THAT I DIDNT THERE ITS THEIFT IN SUNNY DAY

“Amazing.”

We had an amazing stay at Dhevatara. The room was perfect, the pool is fantastic, you can access the beach very easily and while there are a few algae it's not really an issue. The staff is nice and welcoming, and it was a great experience to stay there. Also, you have a lot of small takeaway restaurants nearby that you can walk to, which is nice if you want to experience a little bit more of the local life of the island.

Excellent food Very friendly and helpful staff Nice pool Bus stop right in front of the hotel

Lovely boutique hotel with friendly staff and high quality facilities. Great base for friends travelling with private beach and really good restaurant.

“A good hotel to base yourself in with lovely, attentive staff.”

Staff were wonderful and incredibly friendly throughout. A lovely sea view from the room and a decent breakfast.

beautiful property located on the beach. tastefully decorated room will uplift your mood. excellent amenities and services. staff was very helpful, pleasant and welcoming. the lobby restaurant serves v good food. property is walking distance by the casino, massage centre and grocery. swimming pool is great for relaxing, but beach was not good for swimming. do try the fresh coconut compliment by the house.
