The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. Ungoofaaru is a very hosting place, where you have a chance to be a part of the Maldivian community. The citizens are open-hearted and friendly. The options of facultative activities are limited only by your imagination (and your wallet). The prices are much lower then in resorts and the restaurants serve the local food in local prices. The only disadvantage is the condition of the beach, which is gently said horrible (loads of plastic bottles and other trash :-(
