I should have written this review long ago, as I stayed in the hotel in August 2023. My bad for not doing so but I think it's still due. I was initially sceptic due to the abysmal reviews on Booking, but still decided to give it a try due to the crazy low price and, above all, the fantastic position. It was beyond my expectations. Of course, you can't expect a Maldivian resort, but it would be ridiculous to do so for about 50 € /person per night, all inclusive, in high season. I can't even start to describe how magnificent the landscape and the sea are, or the fact of sunbathing on the cliffs almost alone, the swimming pool from which you dominate the cost and the promenade in the mountains above. Even the food was fine, while the only *very* bad thing was the house wine included in the all inclusive.The quality/price ratio is incredibly good - our bedroom even had a great view on the sea. I would go there again and I would recommend it!

Absolutely beautiful trip! We went for a week 23rd Sept- 1st October and had the most amazing time. The scenery is beautiful, 3 pools as well as the stunning beach area. There is plenty of sun beds at all pools. The views are amazing. The staff are all so happy and lovely can not do enough for you. The rooms were spacious, I do agree with some of the reviews that the bathrooms could do with a slight update. The cleaners came everyday and cleaned our room and gave us fresh bedding, even noticed how we were changing the bedding for our comfort and started doing so, lovely little touches. The resort was lovely, the food was great quality. The resort is far from the airport but if you want a lovely relaxing break it’s a great spot!

High expectations and a big disappointment accordingly: Looking at Google maps, this site seemed to be very attractive: A quite sea lagoon, swimming pools, great sea view.
Arriving there, we found out that the place was new some 40 years ago, and never renovated since then. There is no WIFI at the rooms, only in the reception, some 150 meters away. Pool bathing towels are provided only if one pays (that was the only place that demanded payment for towels) and the four pools are all useless salty sea water pools, that are horrible for swimming. The stinginess of the owners of this place (I avoid calling this “hotel”, it is rather an old-fashioned bungalow village) is remarkable. There are much better hotels for smaller price, beware!

We stayed at Calypso Hotel for 1 night at June. The location is incredible and the people that work there very friendly and willing to help! The owner as well is very kind! The options for food were many and the room we stayed was very nice and satisfying. The place has everything you need, so it's ideal for a family with kids, as well as for a couple! We will go again for sure! Thank you for everything!
5/5!

This is rated as a 4 star however it was more like a 3.
The staff are just lovely really nice and so helpful.
The room itself is also lovely and clean however the bathrooms do not match the same care or attention. These could be done up.
If you’re looking for a peaceful time and somewhere with not much entertainment or activities this place is ideal.
I was there in end of June, I hired a car which was lucky as they don’t have any buses or taxi service running to the near by town until July. There was also no daily morning yoga which I was sad about. There is a massage room next to the gym which looks like it has not been used in years.
There are three pools which the kids loved however they could be cleaned a little more as the walls and center of the pool ground is a little gungy.
The public toilet area however was very clean.
You can walk to the near by town and a beach however in the heat and with hills a 20 odd minute walk is not very inspiring.
The food is awful there is a selection but nothing matches and I got six three of my seven nights which I’m sure was the food.
There is a small cove which you can do diving and snorkelling this was defo a highlight
