The staff all the way from the receptionist David to our waiter haris to our housekeeper Didi was exceptional. They make you feel welcome and at home.

The resort is large enough to have all your needs met, but small enough that you can enjoy time and activities without anyone else around. The staff are friendly and accommodating. As the resort is owned by an Italian company, all but a handful of guests were Italian and demonstrations are spoken in Italian and English. We really loved our four night stay here and have had an amazing honeymoon.

Amazing place! We stayed in a overwater villa for 7 nights and can't say any better than it's perfect! The island is small, which is amazing for relaxing, without the rush of big hotels. The snorkeling around the island is so beautiful, you can see turtles, sharks, rays and many many different kinds of fish. The staff is super nice and is always looking forward to make your experience the greatest possible. Thank you for this unforgettable vacations!

Mare bellissimo

Bella struttura, ottima barriera, cibo buono ma caffè terribile, il bagno (wc) non era perfettamente pulito all'arrivo, nessun rappresentante ci ha accolto in aeroporto e non ha risposto su WhatsApp (potete provare a chiamarlo dal box informazioni, c'è un telefono), la doccia si allaga un po' ma la camera è molto bella

It was a great Island, nice back to nature feel. Only minor area for complaint was safety and privacy: Need an internal rail around the water bungalow walkways, dangerous for kids and drunks. Another screen down the side of water bungalows, so your neighbours can not look in would be nice. Our great whaleshark boat tour was overloaded and breached boat safety, 1 of the non paying hotel staff should have stepped down, rather than overload a boat safety guidelines.

Not enough swimming space. The island is covered with corral reefs so if you like snorkeling well your in heaven. If you want to spend your time in the water well very limited. The resort is do for a face-lift and the food was ok. The staff incredible, thank you Ibrahim.

Ein tolles Hotel in einer noch tolleren Umgebung. Das Konzept des Hotels ist Nachhaltigkeit und es wird in beinahe allen Belangen umgesetzt. Es wird konsequent auf Müllvermeidung geachtet, vieles ist aus nachhaltigen Rohstoffen gefertigt, z.B. Möbel, es wird repariert statt weggeworfen und neu gekauft und vieles andere recycelt. Selten ein Hotel erlebt wo ein Konzept so durchgängig und konsequent umgesetzt wurde. Weiter so!!!

Honeymoon trip

We arrived during a storm in the off season and that was a difficult journey. Upon learning this the team at Sandies Bathala then did everything they possibly could to make sure the remainder of our stay was incredible and it was! We'll have memories to cherish for a lifetime. The food is delicious and varied. The staff are kind, warm and attentive. The island's features really well thought out, eco friendly and well maintained. The coral reef is awesome and the ability to go snorkeling directly from your villa is a highlight. We stayed on the beachfront and in an overwater villa and they were both great! We'd go again on a heartbeat. Highly recommend staying at Sandies Bathala!

コロナ禍が明け、5年ぶりのモルディブ旅行をバタラで過ごしました。 スタッフはとてもフレンドリーで、とくにレストランスタッフは、数日経つと日本語で挨拶してくれる等好感がもてます。 水上コテージに宿泊しましたが、部屋は広く、クローゼットは必要十分に確保されている。テーブル等も良い具合に配置されており荷物置場に困る事はありません。 ドロップオフに近く、魚も多い、シュノーケリング三昧の日々を過ごせます。 料理は、日替わりで料理のテーマが変わっているようで、飽きさせないようにしているのがわかります。料理の種類がすごく多いわけではないので、同じ料理もあります。イタリア人の訪問が多いためか、ピザとパスタは定番で用意されています。ピザはその場で焼いているため、焼きたては美味しい。パスタは、シェフに注文して作ってもらう方式で、日ごとに部分的に種類が変わり、いろいろと試すのも面白い所。 デザートは、チョコレートに力を入れているような感じでチョコレートを使用したデザートはとても美味しい。 バタラで残念なところは、珊瑚がほとんど壊れていることです。クマノミを探す事が困難な程でした。バタラが悪いわけではありませんが、珊瑚が復活し、多くのクマノミが見れるようになることを願っています
