Loved the food, the room were very comfortable and had amazing view of the beach and ocean. Central location. The hotel arranged excursions and activities were awesome. The “Real Break” and “day pass to Centara resort” is a must in addition to others. And yea their staff member “Tiger” and “kasun” and all others were very helpful. Tiger is your go to guy in case of any issue and booking of excursions and honest opinions for what excursions to do. Overall must recommended for stays
Too much Broken coral making it hard to enjoy walk in water. So remember to buy rubber beach walk shoes from any local souvenir shop

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.
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!
Everything was exceptional,stayed here for 5 Days.This is one of the beautiful stay of mine so far in any hotel.Staff is very helpful in all your matters,food was very good the best place to get the Indian food with good taste in Maafusi.Breakfast is wonderful with buffet style plenty options for veg and non veg both.Hotel also arrange candle light dinner,water sports and trips along the Island.They also provide Bi cycle to you for roaming around the Island.
We spent 13 nights at Rehendi and really enjoyed our stay. Every member of staff was very friendly and helpful, especially the two young men who worked at the breakfast serving who always made sure we were well looked after. The pool is great and very refreshing after a hot day at the beach. The room was large and had everything we needed. Having seen some of the other hotels in Maafushi I would say this is a very good option for the price!
This hotel was recently renovated, everything is so new, beautifully designed, rooms are very cozy and well furnitured. It looks just like on the photos. Staff is extremely welcoming and accommodating. As far as I can judge this is the best place to stay in Maafushi! The view from the room was incredible. Breakfasts are very average though, but I am sure they are working on it. 10000% recommended.
The staff was very helpful and accommodating. The excursions were amazing, especially the shark one. We were moved to different rooms after two days due to the AC not working. The views were breathtaking. There is so much to do on the island, perfect for families. The local restaurants serve delicious food at reasonable prices. I would recommend this hotel to families. We ❤ 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
The staff are super helpful all the time. They helped us with the transfer to and from the airport, arrange snorkeling tour and always available whenever needed.
The best budget hotel in maafushi village.
Supermarket, Bakery, Bank, mosque and beach everything is nearby to the property.
Highly recommended for solo, young couples and for families.
We stayed in this hotel for 1 day and 1 night. And we had an extraordinary time. All the staffs were so friendly and welcoming. helpful with directions. Loved the view and the room.

Just exceeded our expectation... Very beautiful Island with lot of sporting activities... provided free snorkeling kits and life jackets... special mention to Mr. Hassan who was very friendly.. highly recommended for families... very close to the beach... its a great budgetary hotel if your planning for long stays...
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.
Most budget friendly hotel in Maafushi Island. The staffs were great and they helped us in all the activities we did in Maafushi Island. It's not a beach side stay but if you are looking for a good and budget stay; this is the best option.
The staff are really nice and helpful. The room is clean with good balcony space. The beach is right in front of the hotel. The whole island is walkable the supermarket is 3 min walk and many restaurants around the beach.
Very good location in the heart of maafushi. The host shafiq was really nice, friendly, and helpful. He gave me valuable information on exploring the maldives and helped with arranging tours at reasonable prices.
Good Buffet Breakfast and dinner with tasty Food, Traditional Maldivian house guesthouse, for me this was better than normal Hotels. Friendly staff. Hotel is near the beach. Hotel was providing free Sunbeds.
