We have stayed for 5 nights with Sharmar guest house for scuba diving. We initially booked for 3 nights but ended up extending our stay because this place realised our dream holiday. We are super frequent traveller both work and leisure having stayed in so many levels/kinds of hotels/inns in many countries. What we love about Sharmar Guest house is honesty, friendliness and cleanliness. If you are looking for posh, private, luxury hotel where your desire to be treated as "king and queen" fulfils sort of atmosphere, perhaps this place is not for you because is not 7 star. If you are looking for the place where you feel home and relax with clean, unpretentious atmosphere where you share your diving experiences and passion over beers, under coconut trees on the white sands with other guests and staffs, this is your place to stay in Maldives. Everyone calls each other with name. You enjoy dives and after dives with lots of laughter. All you need after repetitive diving is rest then bed linens and rooms are super fresh and clean everyday. (tbh much better than many star hotels we have stayed!). Room smells great. Clean bathrooms with sufficient hot water after diving. Of course I need to mention about kind, patient and knowledgeable diving instructors/guides who make this place even more special. Diving experience was exceptional that we encountered 4 mantas in 2 days, a whale shark, 2 turtles in 2 days, a group of 13 white sharks, hundred of schooling fishes, and breathtaking underwater sceneries...(we have many more diving spots to be explored so will definitely come back !!) Lastly, when you check out, you will probably feel so satisfied and justified seeing your bill just like we did because everything is reasonably priced despite of "Holiday in Maldives". We really would like to congratulate Shamoon and Markus created this place in Maldives. Thank you Shamoon, Markus, Anita, Sein, and crew!

“I loved everything about Shamar Guesthouse, most especially the people and the dives”
It's a wonderful place to stay for an unforgettable experience! All of the staff are so nice, helpful, willing to do anything to make you happy. I loved the dives, Shamoon is the best dive master ever bc he did everything he could to make sure I had my dive with a whale shark--and it was one of my favorite moments of my life :)

“Friendly staff and affordable prices -- great stay, I'd come back if I ever returned”
Staff were the best part of our stay. They're super friendly, super nice, and really accommodating. Location was ideal as well -- couldn't get closer to the beach without getting wet. Dives were really nice and affordable.
