Staff were amazing, very helpful and kind, we are so grateful for good service! Breakfasts are very tasty, it includes omelette, sausages, toasts with butter and jam and some starter (every day different). The location is good: sea view from the balcony, 500 m to the beach and a lot of cafes and shops nearby. Thank you so much for such a lovely visit:)

The trips on offer are spectacular.
The trips on offer are spectacular. I would advise you understand the type of boat you are going on and check the weather. Salt Beach do fabulous trips and the guys on the boats are great.
We did have a trip with 'Maldivian Fellows' I was very disappointed with this one as they didn't have watchers looking at the people in the water and showed no encouragement to people that were a little nervous like 'Salt Beach' guys
We did the parasailing which was fabulous. We booked this with the guys next to the bikini beach and they were great.
Ive been to the island 5 times now and love its rustic charm although it is getting busier.
I can highly recommend the 'Juice Vibe' for the best coffee and juices. There are lots of restaurants to choose from, my favourites are 'Moonlight' which is situated at the opposite end to bikini beach and the Indian restaurant next to the Kanni hotel. Some of the washroom facilities are not so clean so always carry tissues with you.

People of Maafushi treat you based on the following: if you are white-skinned and living in a resort, you get the best treatments. After that, white-skinned, then brown-skinned in the resort, and the rest are treated like they don't belong in their precious land. Their definition of hospitality means you are meant to agree and not counter when they suggest something. If you have a different opinion, you are rude and disrespectful. The nature is unparalleled, but the locals have a long way to go to learn hospitality.

It is a very beautiful small island with very warm and hospitable people. With azure water and golden beaches. Prices are very affordable, there are several good restaurants.
It was impossible to swim because there are many reefs in the water inside and we caught our feet many times, which is why we could not go into deep water, and near the shore there is waist-deep water. No one has informed us about this. The hotel must inform the guests about such details in advance.
It would be good if there would be a bridge for those who want to swim in deep water, which would give them the opportunity to go directly into deep water.

Public island - so no alcohol/ all inclusive plush.
Public island - so no alcohol/ all inclusive plush. The island is small, had good snorkeling, small shops, restaurants and bikini beach! Everyone is friendly and want to make sure you have a good time. Many options to rent water crafts, fun water sport items. Many excursions that give you exactly as they are advertise. A short trip by boat from Male makes it convienent - not have to spend all day getting to your hotel.

Maafushi is currently a construction site.
Maafushi is currently a construction site. There is building work everywhere on the island which is only 1km x 300m. It is not a paradise island at the moment.
There are lots of restaurant options but it is not cheap if you choose a venue that doesn't include the service charge and government tax in the meal price.
I would avoid Maafushi until its been re-built.
This trip to Maldives was the most memorable. we stayed at Kaani Palm Beach for 5 days along with our two kids. The hotel staff was kind, knowledgeable and very friendly; I would like to specifically mention about Khadir who was with us ever since we reached Mafushi. we had very good island trips to Fihalhohi & Raanalhi. Kids enjoyed water activities like Fun Tube, Snorkeling & Jet Ski. My wife n myself had the best parasail experience. overall 10/10 for value for money, comfort and excellent stay at Mafushi Kaani Palm Beach 👌
Our stay was awesome!! Mr Rifa the owner/manager was very accommodating and he gives us attention and book all excursions. He even let us ride his electric vehicle to drop us in the meet-up area for all excursions. All staff are very friendly. You will leave maafushi with smile once you are under care of Mr Rifa. Asmi, arora inn staff gave us her wonderful piece of art. She painted a beautiful scenery and handed us on our last day. Thank you so much for making our vacation fantastic!! Over all, 10 star is not enough!
Affordable option in Maafushi with most hotel amenities in room provided. Excursions or tours can be organised with some require minimum pax. Speedboat ride around 30 minutes from Male and island is calm with many options surrounding for meal or some shops for necessity. Check in went well and smooth check out. Efficient Houskeeping special thanks to Muhammad Suhail from Bangladesh and his fellow colleague for make up service also caring FnB staff for breakfast time.
Beach view from the balcony is spectacular. Arena is the best hotel in Maafushi and I don’t see an alternative for it. Most of the members at reception are helpful all the time. Food at Arena Restaurant during my entire stay is fabulous and try to add Indian dishes to your buffet spread .Restaurant staff are so responsive and best at their service. Housekeeping service especially from Yogesh he has shown his dedication to maintain the room tidy and clean.
The staffs were extremely helpful, I would like to mention specifically Kausar who was really caring and helped us throughout our stay. He was our go to person for anything and everything. Jessica also helped us a lot in terms of our queries related to transfers and everything.
Food was good. People of maafushi are really sweet and caring. Hospitality was mind-blowing and we definitely want to come back again to Maldives and stay in Kaani ofcourse!!!
Mr Aswad organized my transportation coming from another island to maafushi.
He is so friendly and aware about small detail.
Note: If you have luggage you must have carrier.
He also upgrade our standard room to suite for free.
The hostel is opened recently so everything is clean and new plus covered by strong wifi.
The hostel has shisha and area for chilling. One of the best places i found in maafushi and Maldives.
I loved the hospitality of all the staff of Arena. It is the best hotel in complete Maldives. I call say this with surety because I stayed in so many hotels includingkaani palm at Mahfushi. Starting from Themiya, Rasheed, Shaddy and Ihuwan, they all looked after us like a family. I recommend this hotel to all those who wants to enjoy the clean rooms with best food. Thank you Arena
Visal, the manager was extremely helpful from the time of check-in to check-out.
The front desk staff were polite and professional.
Maafushi is a really happening place, lot of locals and tourists, beautiful beaches. There's a lot of water sports centers, hotels, good joints, scuba diving center. Basically if you love having an active holiday, this is the place for you.
All words of praise for owner and his wife. From the very beginning they welcomed us extremely warmly and throughout our stay they were accessible and available for anything we needed. Thank you! With great joy I invite you to stay with them, much better than with ordinary resort hotels where you don't have this kind of experience.
The hotel îs located 1 minut away from Bikini Beach. Very clean room. The sunbeds are free on the beach. The breakfast îs served at The Kaani Grand and the dinner buffet at The Kaani Palm as we have haff board. Very good good. The personal from the restorants very frendly. For the lunch are many options on the island.
everything in the room was sparkling clean, they cleaned the room daily.
the location was perfect-in middle of the bikini beach and ferries (but considering the size of the island all the hotels are more or less the same location)
staff is very friendly and helpful
bed was comfy, everything in perfect working order
We stayed there for 4 nights. Mr. Thoha(Taha) gave us all the information about the hotel and island. The staff was very helpful. We had great service for breakfast and dinner. We highly recommend dinner buffet. We joined many excursions thanks to Triton and had a great time. The room was super clean.
Hotel owner Ibrahim was exceptional. Received me when my speed boat arrived and dropped me during my departure. Took me to a cafe paid bill by himself. Showed me planktons. Hospitality was remarkable. I will stay again. Book without much thinking, prices are affordable. My heart is full of joy !
A stylish medium size hotel with a beautiful garden outlook - very peaceful and excellent and friendly staff. I was visiting Maafushi for work and the hotel was a perfect location - close to ferry and away from the high rises that dominate the bikini beach end of the island.
I recently had the pleasure of staying Alaina on maafushi, and I must say the service was exceptional from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a comfirtable and enjoyable stay. Special thank to Kalinga (hotel manager)
The place is super comfortable and at a middle of the island. The staff is super helpful. Heartfully thanking mr kalam for going out of the way to help us from trouble. Even the prices for water activities and other stuff is very affordable.
Best room in the hotel was provided to us . Room 701 is the entire floor with a 180 degree view of the Island . With a warm welcome from Tiger , guest relations officer and Lameez at the reception we felt at home from the first minute .
Beautiful hotel with a warm feeling , feels like HOME near by many things and on the best side of the island. People working there are truly amazing and helpful, warm and friendly. Will definitely go back!
Great location in Maafushi Island, lively neighborhood, easy to find food outside the hotel, many local businesses and water sport activities around the hotel.
