Great local island
Really enjoyed the island of Gulhi with its beautiful beach and decent snorkeling. Guest house is basic, when we were not given the room advertised on hotels.com we were immediately upgraded. Breakfast was average, location great just 50m from beach

Location buona il personale è gentile, resto OFF
Mi dispiace molto sono rimasto molto deluso per la pulizia e per la camera che era praticamente fuori da ogni standard igenico sanitario una puzza di fognatura incredibile, il tovagliato della colazione era pieno di macchie e per tutto il tempo che sono rimasto ospite non è stato cambiato, le asciugamani che mi hanno dato in dotazione non venivano cambiate sono stato costretto a costringere a cambiarli almeno una volta. Mi riservo se non vengo rimborsato per il danno subito ad adire a vie legali.

Excelente!
Excelente lugar! Desde las habitaciones hasta la amabilidad del equipo de chicos que trabaja ahí, todo fantastico. A pocos pasos de la bikini beach. Lo unico que me gustaria es que por la noche, le apaguen la luz a los dos loritos que tienen, para que puedan dormir tranquilos. Solo eso.

Ein paar wunderschöne Tage auf den Malediven
Gemütliches Guest house mit sehr nettem Personal. Die Gäste werden mit Rat & Tat bei egal welchen Fragen unterstützt. Frühstück ist auch gut jedoch könnte ein bisschen Variation nicht schaden. Alles in allem ein tolles Guest House für ein paar wundervolle Tage auf den Malediven. (Achtung, bei Bezahlung im Hotel -> Nur Cash payment möglich...gut zu wissen da der nächste Bankomat ein paar Inseln weiter ist. :-D )

Amazing Holidays
We had an amazing 11 days stay at Apex Inn. The people working there are very nice and helpful, the Beach is amazing. It is easy to reach Gulhi by public ferry which is going from Male once a day at 15h (except Fridays). The rooms have everything you need and are very clean. The Breakfast is good, you can choose between some local food or some usual western breakfast. The staff will help you with organising tours, we went to watch dolphins, we went on an amazing Sandbank trip with a nice reef for snorkelling and we went for a day trip to a all inclusive Resort. From Gluhi you have also the opportunity to visit Maafushi. I think that we will come back to this place, it was a very nice stay.

Bästa ön hittills i Maldiverna. Perfekt
Fantastiska ägare till hotellet. Dom ordnade allt vad vi önskade. Allt var möjligt. Sköna sängar. Det här boendet är 1000gånger bättre än Resorten på dyra Biyadhoo. Hit åker vi nästa gång till mysiga ön Ghuli.

Wir waren 8 Tage im Apex Inn und haben es sehr genossen. Tolle Lage direkt am Bikini-Strand. Frühstück ist einfach (Spiegeleier sowie Toastbrot mit Butter und Marmelade und etwas Obst), aber ausreichend. Mittags und Abends haben wir im neuen Restaurant direkt am Bikini-Strand gegessen, wo man in traumhafter Lage sehr günstige und gute Gerichte erhält. Abends kann man mit Blick aufs Meer frischen Fisch essen (ca. 10USD). Das Personal im Apex Inn ist sehr freundlich und immer hilfsbereit. Ausreichend Einkaufsmöglichkeiten im Ort vorhanden, leider gibt es überall nur Toastbrot. Gulhi ist klein, aber für ein paar Tage zum Entspannen sehr gut geeignet. Schnorcheln kann man am Riff direkt vor dem Strand, wir haben Riffhaie und Rochen sowie Fische in allen Farben gesehen. In den Guesthouses oder direkt am Strand kann man Ausflüge mit einem Speedboat buchen, um auch andere Riffe zu besuchen. Jet-Ski Fahren ist ebenfalls möglich. Die Einheimischen sind sehr freundlich und Touristen gegenüber sehr aufgeschlossen, obwohl man sich in einem muslimischen Land befindet.

Guesthouse carinissima, staff meraviglioso
Ad un passo dalla Bikini Beach dell'incantevole isoletta di Gulhi, questa carinissima e molto pulita guesthouse ha come punto di forza uno staff di ragazzi gentilissimi sempre pronti a farsi in quattro per soddisfare ogni tua minima richiesta. Flessibilissimi, gentili, reattivi, veramente persone fantastiche, come tutti i maldiviani che abbiamo incontrato, un popolo che ha veramente tanto da insegnarci. Siamo andati io, mia moglie ed il nostro piccolo di un anno, che è diventato subito la loro mascotte: hanno fatto a gara per tenercelo quando abbiamo fatto qualche escursione e ci hanno permesso di usare la loro cucina come se fosse la nostra per fargli da mangiare. Unico piccolo neo: il Wi-Fi in camera va un po' a singhiozzo, ma non cambia il mio giudizio entusiasta: andate all'Apex Inn e a Gulhi, non ve ne pentirete affatto!!!

Der Service war super! Das Team war bei allem sehr nett und freundlich, immer hilfsbereit! Das Hotel ist schön eingerichtet und die 2 Vögel (ein Kakadu und ein Graupapgei) runden das Ganze ab. Das Apex Inn ist nur 50 m vom Strand entfernt. Mein Zimmer hatte leider kein Fenster (nur ein kleines im Bad), das sollte in der Hotelbeschreibung aufgeführt werden. Die Hotelgäste sollten darüber informiert werden, dass man nach dem Frühstück den Schlüssel an der Rezeption abgeben muss, damit das Zimmer gesäubert wird. Das einzige, was ich zu bemängeln habe, ist dass die Reinigung des Zimmers ungenügend war, z.B. Haare in der Dusche und auf dem Fußboden wurden nicht entfernt. Ansonsten war ich begeistert! Ein sehr schöner Urlaub und ich würde es weiterempfehlen.
