    I like the water in bathroom. so powerful and hot water is available every time. And bathroom is so big. so spacious. Eventhough our room is small, but it has a small balcony, which is best for sipping your coffee in the morning while standing. We are happy with all the staffs there. Always smile and friendly especially Chams. our bed wasn’t comfortable at first, but then they changed to other bed. Hopefully by now they have new beds. They have different kind of breakfast every morning. Eventhough the choice are not too many. But you will find the same with other hotel. It’s near Bikini Beach. And Maafushi Island has many restaurants.

    Depite the fact that it was at the level of its value, beds could be a little more comfortable and bedsheets should surely be double checked before using in the room coz there were stains even on my pillow case. But im sure if you ask them to change the sheets, they would.

    Staff were absolutely friendly, alwaya helpful, always smiling. Also even though we needed to check out at 12 and our room was rented by someıne else after us, to be able to wait in an air conditioned room and take a shower as we wait for our boat, they allowed us to use another room for a couple of hours for free. Last but not least, even though the distance was so close, they picked us up and dropped down for the boat ride with a little electric car.

    The breakfast had limited options. On one particular day, they ran out of eggs and sausages. Thought it's a buffet breakfast, we can order just 1 omlette. Ideally there should be no such limitation.

    The host Chamra is really helpful and gave us a personalized experience. Rooms were clean. Location was close to bikini beach. It's a

    The best thing about this place is the staff. They are always very kind and extraordinary helpful. This guy Muto turned out to be a nice friend and was even taking me to places and helping or guiding me to make good deals for tours and excursions. Although the facility is not ideal and this place is more suited for solo travelers or friends in group rather than couples, honeymooners or family. There were some maintenance works going on and I think after few weeks the new restaurant will be a good addition. In any case, if I will travel alone or with friends I will prefer to stay here again.

    Nothing really.

    The staff. The location. Room cleaned and tidied up daily, refreshing to come back from beach or activities to a clean room. Staff is accommodating and helpful with tours and transportation to airport. Breakfast is ok, wish they had more fruits variety tho, other than that I had a great time there and definitely would stay there again in the future. Maafushi stole my heart 😊

    Except for the location there was nothing I liked.
