This is a small, cozy guesthouse. The service is super level in terms of support and assistance, they will help and tell you where and how to go or how to book. Shozol and another one employ a very kind and nice managers. The food is simple and unpretentious, but fresh. My Wi-Fi was excellent, but you get tired of reconnecting every couple of minutes. This is a great place for those who constantly go on excursions every day.

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.
I had an exceptional stay at Aquzz Hotel and Spa in Maafushi, Maldives, thanks to the outstanding service provided by the Manager. Their warm welcome, extensive local knowledge, and proactive approach to guest satisfaction were remarkable. The Manager's dedication to ensuring a memorable experience truly stood out, making my stay unforgettable. I want to express my gratitude to the Manager and the entire team at Aquzz Hotel and Spa for their exceptional hospitality, and I eagerly anticipate returning in the future.
The staff were very nice and cordial. The lady at the reception, Maadi (I hope I got the spelling right) welcomed us at the Port and brought us to the hotel when we arrived in the evening; helped with booking the selected water sports activities and excursions. The rooms were just perfect and very clean as well. Internet connection was very strong. I liked that it was in the more quiet place of the Island, yet easily accessible to everywhere. I stayed in a city view room, but could also see the ocean partially.
I'll start by saying It is a good option if you want to make your week in the Maldives affordable. If you're not too picky it'll do the job.
PROS:
- location is prefect.
- if you need to leave the hotel really early due to a tour, they'll pack your breakfast and you can pick it up when you're ready to leave.
- you get water everyday and the room size is decent.
- I had a balcony/sea view. Great to see the sunset.
A great little hotel. Very friendly staff. Good size rooms well maintained. Local and international options for breakfast. A deserved 10 rating beacause this hotel was accommodating and offered a free extra bed for our daughter when our previous hotel on Maafushi wanted 15USD per night. They were also extremely flexible with our checkout time as our transfer was late in the day. Thank you Velana!
The staff is very helpful, friendly and informative. Anyone who plans on going to maldives must consider maffushi Kaani hotels as one of his options to go for in case couldn’t find anywhere nicer. The f&b supervisor MANIK and the server JOSIM were very helpful and even served a free cups of tea even though I was late for the breakfast. All in all it was a wonderful journey filled with joy.
This hotel is amazing! The rooms are immaculate and beautifully decorated. The staff are so friendly and helpful. I can't thank them enough, they made my experience unforgettable! And the food is absolutely delicious. Maafushi is a good base to explore the surrounding area without paying extortionate resort prices. I would come back here without hesitation!
Really Recommend to all
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
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 room was big and very comfortable. tee and coffee for free in the room. the staff is very friendly and the boss take personally care of you. WiFi connection is very good. and the food that I had for dinner was the best of all islands I visited. definitely the place to be when your in Maafushi. I highly recommend this place.
White Shell Hotel was excellent choice for perfect vacation.Location was superb, just near bikini beach on Maafushi Island.Stuff were very kind and helpfull.Room was clean and beds were comfy.Full board food was delicious and lot of variety.Free wifi worked perfect in whole hotel.I reccommend this hotel and will be back
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
Our 1st stay in Maldives took a jetty from Airport to Maafushi. There was hotel Manager and an attendant waiting for us to receive. It's 5 min walk to the hotel. Our room was clean and huge. Best was the sea view balcony where sunrise was very clearly visible. Amazing view the next morning
The reason brought me to this hotel was the snorkling tour they conducted , its the best of the island and thanks to booking.com for listing such a good property with best price and quality people. next time i will come again.
We loved everything about our stay here. Beautiful views of the harbor and sunset. Clean and comfortable room. The staff were friendly, helpful and willing to please. A budget hotel that is worth the money.
The guest house was good overall
The owner ahmed was kind
He was present at the Maafushi port to pick me up
The location is good and the island is small so everything is without a 10 minutes walk
The hotel is in the first row, in a quiet area in Maafushi. The staff picked us up at the port and brought our luggage to the hotel. They were friendly and helpful.
Clean room, amazing and kind staff, good room service…everything we needed in Maafushi we had at the iCom Marina Sea View Hotel. Thank you dear people!
