Staff was great. This hotel is truly niche and it allows you to enjoy an intimate stay while benefitting from an eco sustainable resort. The over water villas, especially the deluxe, are magical. Food and hospitality staff is top quality with so many options.
Phenomenal cleaning

Very nice and friendly staff, who arranged for us to snorkel and where there to help us anytime. The location is very good, close to bikini beach. There is a big bottle of fresh water in the room every day. The chef was very good, we could choose traditional or international food and we loved the fish.
We really enjoyed our stay in Mathiveri, especially in this hotel, we had a lovely holiday here and we can only recommend this hotel.

We had fully paid for a 4-night stay at the Captal Beach Villa. However at the time of our stay 2-6 April 2025, the Captal Beach Villa was actually still being developed and rooms were being sold for the Captal Beach Villa when in fact no rooms were available there. We were instead placed at a different nearby (nameless) property that was 3 minutes walk away - this nameless property was also under construction with only 2 rooms ready and nothing else on site - we were placed in one of these two rooms. As Mathiveri island where these properties are located is small with limited accomodation options on short notice, we decided to accept this accomodation for the purpose of not disrupting our travel and only lodged a formal complaint after.
To be very objective, the room at the different property we were placed at was not bad - it was a newly built, clean room with hot water in the shower, a kettle, mini-fridge, hair dryer, air-conditioning, lights etc. Breakfast was also provided on the first day at the main hotel (Captal Island Villa) and on our subsequent 3 days at a newly constructed pavilion where guests from different properties on the island came for breakfast. And the breakfast buffet was decent. However you must be aware of these risks when making a booking for this property: (1) it's a possibility when booking a room at the Captal Beach Villa that you will NOT be accommodated at the Captal Beach Villa as advertised, but at an alternative property (2) both the Captal Beach Villa and the alternative property are under development and not completed - both are still nameless as of 6 April 2025 and have no signage outside either property to even indicate that they are hotels or guesthouses of any sort (3) the alternative property we were placed at was also being used as a kind of storeroom with no staff based on site and large areas unbuilt, messy and used to store all kinds of things like towels, etc.

Situated in the best place on the island. Peaceful. Stunning setting with beautiful beach and gorgeous blues of the Indian ocean in front of the hotel. Room was very clean.

The location was perfect, just a few steps away from Bikini Beach, making it very convenient for enjoying the sea and relaxing. The host, Imma, was always very helpful, ready to provide excellent tips and organize excursions. The grilled fish dinner cooked by Imma was delicious and definitely one of the highlights of my stay.
The bathroom could have been better maintained. It appeared a bit neglected, and occasionally there was an unpleasant smell. Improving this aspect would greatly enhance the overall comfort of the stay.

We hope to be back some day again, hopefully soon. Shukuriyaa! :D

The view, the food, the activities and just the feeling of being in a resort in Maldives. Gangehi hit each aspect perfectly.

Gangehi Island resort was a dream resort - this is one of the best places to visit in Maldives.
Myself and my wife had requested vegetarian meal - the breakfast and dinner had so many options that we were eating 3 plates every day. The rooms were amazing. The shower idea that has you hearing the ocean while shower just brought that extra special feeling.
To be able to open your balcony door, go out and straight into the Indian ocean.
Amazing friendly staff - always wishing you well.
Manager Georgio was very pleasant and accommodating
the island is superb with a nice stretch of sand bar to walk along
the villas on the water were very convenient as you could just walk down into the water
the entertainment was nice (Karaoke night, fashion night and bingo/tombola night)
the aquatic scenery was beautiful including black tip sharks, and hundreds of colorful fish
Staff were good, nice view, i like the activity there, you can request a jet ski and other sea activities but a little expensive, you can go to another local island but its more expensive 40$++ each person and its not worth it tbh because it is quite no activities and only three shops.
Spa lady was so good, and also the reception were so helpful.
