We returned yesterday from a two week stay at the Seashells. We had a fabulous time, couple of problems but overall what a fantastic place. When we arrived we couldnt actually believe that this hotel was all open plan and that from reception to beach was literally just a few steps !!! What a perfect location, and view, all rooms... more

Stayed at the Seashells at the end of a tour with Red Dot prior to flying to the Maldives. Main reason was that it is very convenient for the airport for an early flight.

Conveniently situated, this 2* plus hotel excells with freindly staff and good surroundings. The real gem though is local guide Rohan. He took us on three magical trips by bus to all parts of the island. His wit and local interpretation was fantastic. If you want to see the island through a local and natural perspective look up Rohan, he... more
