Hotels with WiFi in Maafushi

"The room was absolutely satisfying – quite spacious with a large and comfortable double bed. The sea view from the balcony was excellent. The ground floor (G level) houses the restaurant, while what Trip.com calls the 'first floor' rooms (standard sea view rooms) are actually on the second floor. Deluxe sea view rooms, which are slightly more expensive, are on the third floor and above. The hotel guests are a mix of Europeans/Americans and Chinese. The front desk staff spoke English and I experienced no discrimination whatsoever. Some reviews mentioned that higher floors were given to Westerners, but perhaps they just booked a second-floor room to begin with. Actually, the second-floor rooms are also beautiful, perfectly level with the palm trees. Because Trip.com noted my booking as a 'first floor' room (which is actually the second floor, as the actual first floor is the 'G' level with only the restaurant and front desk, no rooms), I specifically requested a deluxe sea view room on a higher floor than the first, and I was given a room on the fifth floor with an amazing view. When arriving by speedboat, a dedicated staff member was there to pick us up. Although it was only about 200 meters, the hotel still used a golf cart for us and a three-wheeled vehicle for our luggage, delivering everything directly to our room after check-in. When departing, the front desk booked our speedboat tickets for us. The front desk manager personally saw us off to the golf cart and politely asked about our stay experience. The staff carried our luggage all the way to the boat. The service was truly superb. On our first day, we went out to sea, and I left my underwear on the bed since I was wearing my swimsuit. When we returned, the room had been cleaned, and my pajamas and underwear were neatly folded and arranged on the bed. Because the room attendant was male, my daughter and I felt a bit embarrassed. For the following days, we put up the 'Do Not Disturb' sign, and after returning in the afternoon, we only requested fresh towels and water refills. The staff would still often ask if we needed our room cleaned – the service was truly outstanding. The ground floor breakfast area has plenty of seating, and breakfast starts at 6:30 AM, which is perfect for not delaying our excursions. There's a wide variety of food, including egg pancakes and corn pancakes that cater to Chinese tastes. I didn't pre-book dinner, but there was a good selection, costing $20 per person, and cash payment was accepted. There are many island excursions available, offering plenty of deep-sea experiences and photo opportunities. All in all, my experience at Kaani Hotel on Maafushi Island was fantastic, and I highly recommend it."

"I was very impressed with the reception staff here. They took good care of me and spoke very politely and gently."

"Seaview is a must if you will be choosing any of the Kaani hotels' room. Seaview rooms are often in demand and on high prices but lucky enough to be able to book 2 days during peak season, same day. Staff and excursion teams are very helpful, theybreally do their best to take care of you. Team Octopus(excursion team) really takes care of you and get you nice pictures and videos of the excursion. 1 day tour is a must to get in Maafushi Island. Bfast is decent but dont eat too much if you will be doing the sharkbay tour as you will be proned to seasick. 5 days travel to Maldives as a whole is a enough."

"I was lucky enough to be assigned to Arena Veli in Building 4 of the Arena complex, which is the fourth building from the sunset direction, and it was even a corner balcony unit with a 90-degree view – absolutely stunning! The welcome drink was a delicious mixed berry juice. Breakfast was also tasty with a good variety of options. The service experience during my stay was very good. The $6 environmental tax per person per night is mandatory, and there's also a $25 per person per trip speedboat transfer fee. However, the in-room facilities and cleanliness were really concerning, not even up to the standard of a 3-star hotel back home."

"Had a really nice stay here. You can tell the hotel is pretty new because everything still feels fresh and well taken care of. The rooms and common areas were clean and nicely set up. The staff were great throughout the stay, always polite and helpful whenever needed. The amenities were also solid and added to the overall comfort. One standout was the restaurant, easily one of the best on the island. The food was great, prices were reasonable, and it stays open late, which was really convenient. Overall, it was a smooth, hassle-free experience. Would definitely consider staying again."

"The room was clean and a reasonable size, bathroom was adequate, bed was a good size and comfortable. Good balcony with a sea view. The location is perfect right on the bikini beach. The reception was unmaned  and check-in takes place at another Kaani hotel which is less than 100 metres away. The reception was efficient friendly and helpful. The breakfast also took place at the sister hotel, unfortunately the breakfast was poor. Maafushi itself has lost the local island feel dominated by hotels but that does mean there are plenty of restaurants and mocktail options. As a local island no alcohol is available on the island but there is a floating bar if you get desperate for a few beers but probably only worth it if you are desperate"

"This is the furthest hotel from Bikini Beach, but it's about a 5-7 minute walk. The island itself is small, about 1200 meters by 500 meters. There's only one beach (Bikini Beach). The sea is full of dead coral and rocks, so bring slippers. The water is very shallow – up to 1 meter. The island offers many excursions, restaurants with live music, and shops. The hotel staff is very friendly. For breakfast, the hotel brings you your own food (there's no buffet). We initially thought the breakfast was meager, but then we moved to another island where the hotel was twice as expensive, and compared to that, I can say the breakfast here was fantastic."

"every thing is so perfect in this place from the manager jack who is very professional in terms of hospitality no dull moment until the last day of our stay early check in late check out he even arranged all the tours and before we ask he already booked our speed boat going back to the airport to the front desk Envie Maricar David and to all the staffs they’ll let you feel very welcome like their family thank you jack and the rest of your team surely will come back and i also highly recommend this place best place ever.."

"Upon arrival, the hotel staff was already waiting at the pier. Upon arrival, we were given juice and wet towels, and our luggage was delivered to our room. The hotel manager told us that it was more economical to eat in local currency on the island, and it was indeed true. Late in the evening, the manager even came to exchange our money, and the exchange rate was very favorable. Relaxing on the sofa in the hotel lobby, enjoying the sea breeze, was incredibly comfortable. The breakfast was also excellent, with a different menu every day. The breakfast latte was especially delicious. When we left, they even packed our breakfast and brought it to the pier. What a thoughtful touch."

"It was beyond our expectation. We were upgraded to Dakani, which was a good deal. The room was big. The service was provided by a black guy who added taige. It was very nice. Children had to pay an extra 30 USD per day. We booked at a very cheap price of 500 RMB/day. The free upgrade felt like we made 1 million. We were very lucky because the speedboat from Maafushi back to the airport was indeed 15 USD/person. There was a sign at the entrance of the hotel. Maafushi was really fun. Going out to sea to snorkel with sharks was a life of vogue. The best way to explore Maldives is to go to a residential island + a resort island. By the way, the Furawasi that we went to later was really beautiful. The sea view was the most beautiful in Furawasi among the three islands in Maldives I have been to. It was a super tricolor sea!"
