Wings by Hawks Hotel Kamadhoo Baa Atoll

Liked: I absolutely loved how welcoming the staff were, how clean and beautiful the rooms were and how quiet and small the island is! Definitely the spot for you if you are looking for a relaxing get away!

Disliked: Nothing! Was amazing all around!

Liked: I like everything exept breakfasts in the hotel. There were very poor and similar breakfasts. The staff was very helpful, the location was great but to eat every day the same during 12 days was awgfully.

Ok

Liked: The tourist beach was beautiful- felt deserted and was full of hermit crabs but the hotel private beach was very unimpressive.

Disliked: To begin with, there was a sudden change to our transfer, which we only found out about after landing from a long, multi-hour flight. Not only was the new transfer longer, but it was also more expensive than originally planned. As for the hotel itself, we experienced very long waiting times for à la carte meals in the restaurant. The food was generally okay, but it’s worth noting that there were very few vegetables available and the overall food selection was quite limited. We were also disappointed with the excursions. The prices we were initially quoted did not include taxes and service charges, which we only found out about when it was time to pay (after the excursions). This was definitely not a pleasant surprise. The room was acceptable, but there were unexpected interruptions to the water supply. Twice, we were stuck in the shower for more than 10 minutes and at one point were unable to rinse the soap off. Additionally, the washbasin drain worked very slowly, if at all. Finally, when we booked a seaplane for 11:00 a.m. on our departure day (which we arranged on the first day of arrival), we were informed late in the evening the day before departure that it had been rescheduled to 6:35 a.m. This significantly disrupted our plans. While I understand that transfers may be shared, we should have been notified much earlier. Overall, we highly do not recommend staying there. We visited 14 islands during our trip, and every single one of them offered a much better experience.

Liked: Room was sparkling clean with a decent view of the port(we arranged a room with a view), very spacious and quiet. Bed was surely comfortable and I'd even say it was above the average for the price range. Sunbeds belonging to the hotel were in a good condition and they were in a bit of a separated "corner" of the beach, so surprisingly not that many people around (don't get me wrong, the beach was crowded by maldivian standards, but still pleasant).

Disliked: Constant water shortages causing us to notify the reception multiple times a day. This was our 8th island in Maldives and while water shortages are not uncommon at local islands, this was extreme and there surely is something fishy going on here. Restaurant was rather disappointing in terms of local food choices, if I wanted european food I would have stayed in Europe. It's almost comical that Maldives has so much tuna, but there was none available during our stay. Well, not in this hotel. Considering how many dishes consisted of tuna our food choices were rather limited. Breakfast was also a joke where more than half the options were not available at the moment. Possibly just understaffed for the breakfast, since it took them really long time to bring in the missing items (or just notice it's missing). One has to literally write them multiple times to get the infromation that's promised during check-in (times for meals / excursion list). We asked 4 times(since we were promised 3 times to get a reply, but nothing really happened) about the possibility to arrange a private transport by a boat to a different local island and were quoted $1000 for it. Asked a few other places where it ranged from $180 - $250, so... take what you want from that

Liked: Great staff. Newer than Swarm. Good internet speed. Steps from Swarm dinning area.

Disliked: No front desk staff at reception. Need some way to keep sand out. Found staff inside room without permission fixing something. No elevator. Construction and island view rooms were unpleasant.

We love and enjoy our stays at the winks by hawk. Great Island with a fantastic staff and loving people. We love to appreciate Hassan,he was a great guy, hand working and cheerful guy. Also Agus from Indonesia too was a great guy. You guys are amazing.

Liked: The staff was welcoming. Helped me a lot when I broke my charger. Waffles they bake for breakfast are amazing. There were: TV, WiFi, a small fridge, a hairdryer, an iron and ironing desk, air-conditioning. A lot of different kinds of lights and lamps which I liked. Armchairs and a tee-table.

Disliked: The view was to the port, there was construction in process. The view was not that good as they try to show in the photographs. I was eager to take 4 excursions, they made inly one telling me they couldn't gather a group. Even when I found 2 other families who wanted the same excursions and told the guide he didn't arrange any. This was not welcoming at all. Twice in 10 days it happened to be no water fir a short time. No hooks in the bathroom, no place to dry towels, swimming suits, ti hang clothes. Too many ants in the room no matter it was the second floor. Yet. Breakfast doesn't include any vegetables. Just 2 kinds of fruit - mostly apples and oranges. Not what you expect from Maldives.
