Hotels with Breakfast in Maafushi

As a newlywed couple, our honeymoon in the Maldives was an absolute dream, and it wouldn't have been the same without the exceptional service we received at Arena Beach Hotel. The level of hospitality we encountered was truly outstanding, and we owe a heartfelt thank you to the dedicated staff members who made our stay so memorable. Themiya and Ruwan, the friendly faces at the front office, welcomed us with open arms and ensured that every aspect of our visit was seamless. Their professionalism and willingness to assist were truly appreciated, and they went above and beyond to ensure that all our needs were met. On the culinary front, Nipuna and Janith, the talented chefs at Arena Beach Hotel, took our dining experience to a whole new level. Their culinary creations were nothing short of exquisite, and each meal was a delightful journey of flavors. From delectable breakfasts to romantic dinners by the shore, Nipuna and Janith's culinary skills added an extra layer of magic to our honeymoon. The accommodations were luxurious, offering breathtaking views and all the comforts one could ask for. The pristine beaches and turquoise waters of the Maldives provided the perfect backdrop for romance and relaxation. Our gratitude goes out to all the staff at Arena Beach Hotel including Themiya, Ruwan, Nipuna, and Janith for their unwavering dedication to ensuring that our honeymoon was an unforgettable experience. Their contributions truly made a difference, and we are immensely thankful for their efforts. If you're in search of a honeymoon or vacation destination that combines exceptional hospitality with stunning surroundings, we wholeheartedly recommend Arena Beach Hotel in Maafuhi, Maldives.

I would give it 5 stars, but I won’t. The reason? I booked a seaview room to enjoy evenings on the balcony. At the moment it is 11 pm and just bellow our balcony there is such a loud (also bad and repetitive) music that our windows are shaking. Actually there are 10 people dancing(see photo) and half of the island suffering because of this nonsense. We also have early flight in the morning so who knows when this is gonna end so we can go to sleep. This is definitely not a place if you came to Maldives to relax. Otherwise clean place, friendly staff and good for exploring surrounding islands on day trips.

The Kaani Village hotel is part of a hotel chain on the island. The treatment has been excellent from the reception, where we did not have to carry the suitcases at any time. The first person we had contact with was Magic, who gave us his phone number for anything that might happen. The room has all the comforts: a spacious bathroom, a large bed, plugs, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a fan, lots of artificial and natural light, as well as access to the indoor pool. The beach is less than 2 minutes walk. The hotel offers all services directly, without third parties. We have done excursions in which we have swum with sharks, turtles, we have seen the coral reef, we have played with manta rays and we have eaten on deserted islands. In addition, the monitors that have touched us have had impeccable attention. We have coincided with people from many cultures and the respect that there is in general is noticeable. The price per excursion is between $30-50 per person, which is very affordable considering that you spend a large part of the day outside and it includes food. They also offer water sports. We have not been able to do them because we have lacked some time on the island. We have been here 5 nights. As for the food, they made us an improvement compared to what we had contracted and all the meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) have been at the Kaani Palm, which is on the beachfront. They also gave us free access to the infinity pool on the 9th floor. The views are incredible. The beach in front is private and only accessible to hotel residents. On this beach you can wear a bikini without any problems. There are ushers who take care of everything you may need: lounger, drinks, food... It should be noted that the island is a mix between several hotel chains and private homes of people who live here, so it is not as artificial as if it were a deserted island with a resort. There are many cats that are very humanized, are good and allow themselves to be caressed. In general the experience has been very positive. If we had to recommend the trip, we would only increase the stay by 1 or 2 days to be able to do what little we have lacked.

We stayed as a family for 3 nights in the quadruple room which was spacious enough for 2 adults and 3 children to sleep comfortably. The quadruple rooms do not face the sea. The condition of the room is excellent and the hotels seems to be well maintained. Service wise, the staff are generally polite. The breakfast had limited options. Be warned, the cats literally dine with you in the restaurant and it appears to be a problem across the island. The beach is nice although it is not maintained as it should be. There were plenty of sun beds available. Water sports are very reasonably priced compared to average prices in Maldives. Overall, pleasant stay.

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE BOOKING AND AVOID TO SPOIL YOUR HOLIDAYS!!! We spent 3 nights there and were treated as if we were money. We went to eat at the hotel restaurant and asked for fresh juice, they gave us very tasteless mango juice and told us that mango in maafushi is not sweet, we had the same juice in another part of the island and it was as we expected. Every time we sit down they insistently ask us if we want water, and even if we say no, they leave the water on the table and don't include it in the bill, as soon as we get up they run after us saying we have to pay for the water, obviously we told them that the water was still closed on the table and we didn't pay. They even charge a 10% service charge like everywhere else but they never bring us change and keep it for themselves. They cook without head cover or gloves and the food was of very poor quality. We asked to join an excursion at the reception 30 minutes before it started and they told us it was not possible to organise it, so we went to the beach, where there is a kaani beach, asked them directly and they organised it for us right away (they were very angry about the attitude of the receptionist and told us that receptionist did not even want to make a phone call). The night was a circus: very loud music from 9pm until 1am and it was not possible to sleep in the room or talk on the balcony because of the noise. Room service did not replace towels, beach towels or toilet the day of departure they told us that some beach towels were missing, so we had to waste time explaining that we hadn't received them the day before. And obviously they asked us to leave a good review in booking, this makes me think they think we are stupid. Avoid this place.

This is not just a holiday. This is a once in a lifetime experience like no other. For us, this was a 10 day honeymoon in paradise and it was thanks to the fantastic folks at Como Cocoa Island who gave us an unparalleled level of service complete with stunning views and amazing food. From the friendly greeting we got by Hardy at the airport to arriving after a speedboat ride and Rishfaz warmly welcoming us to the island and showing us to our gorgeous Dhoni Water Loft Villa. We were astounded by the captivating views of the Indian Ocean from our very own veranda and all we had to do was walk down a few little steps we were and able to go snorkeling with sea turtles and colourful fishes of all shapes and sizes. The actual rooms in the villa were beautiful too. Light, airy, of the highest quality furniture including a giant comfy bed and fully air conditioned throughout which was most welcome in that heat. One step outside and you were greeted by the boardwalk that took you to this tiny little private island escape with beautiful white sand and crystal blue and turquoise waters. The picutres honestly don't do it justice. It has to be seen to be believed. We would eat and have an amazing team serve us for the duration of the trip from the fabulous UFAA restaurant and bar. The food was simply incredible with a variety of dishes that featured local cuisines (including some amazing seafood curries) as well as classic Mediterranean delights and the healthy signature Como Shambala menu was available too. We always were able to try something new each time. What really made the restaurant (and bar) so special though, were the amazing team on hand to serve us. All so friendly and warm, some we got to know so well that they felt more like friends by the end of the trip sharing laughs and jokes all topped with exceptional service throughout. They made us feel more like family instead of occupants. We loved meeting and were served by the excellent Sulthan, Sithin, Michael, Anura, Muru and Hindra all of which gave us the most incredible service throughout as well as being full of life, personality and good vibes. At the bar we had Ravi make us excellent cocktails served at the sandbanks by the fantasic Blu where we would watch the sunset every evening. This team is a credit to Como group and really help this place stand out as one of the most incredible resorts in the world. In addition to this we should mention that the incredibly charming manager of rooms Ahmed who would always greet us so warmly and who would ensure that during our entire stay there we were well looked after throughout. During our stay we had the pleasure of using the Como Shambala Spa which helped us relax with April, Wannee, Chandra and Tari giving us the most amazing signature massages, a speciality of the Como brand. We had to keep coming back for more. Fadzil and Noki at the spa too were also always so friendly and welcoming any time we even passed there. In closing, we can't thank ever

I stayed at Triton Prestige Sea View and Spa for 2 nights in April 2024. We were focused more on Triton Activities and Water sports during our stay! The only reason why I gave 4 starts and reduced one star was because of a lady named Jovi who was at the reception! She was full of attitude and rude! Except for her everyone else at the hotel was so welcoming and exceeding our expectation. Restaurant staff was so welcoming and professional! Dilan and Nishen from Reception was very helpful and guiding us the best way during our stay! We went on the Shark bay tour and I have to say that was the best in my whole Maldives trip! The guide, caption and other 2 guys who were on the boat from staff were very friendly and made sure we had the best experience! They have captured very nice under water photos and videos for us which were like life time memories. It was totally worth the money we spent! We got lucky to swim with Dolphins too that day. Talking about water sports, we did parasailing, jet ski and funtube. The instructors at water sports center was next level! We did jet ski alone and the next day with the instructor! The instructor we got was sooo good and very helpful! The food range at the buffet wasn’t a lot satisfactory but since we were more focused on activities… we were ok with what we got to eat! We highly recommend Triton Prestige Sea View and Spa for anyone who is looking forward for an adrenaline rush with a stress free staycation.

The hotel is not bad and affordable, the first to go to the Maldives does not know how to book a hotel. I was originally reporting to the group but because I had to pay the money of two people alone, I simply went there. Looking at the pictures of the hotel in the travel agency's itinerary, I found out that it was cheaper than the travel agency! Fortunately, I didn't follow the group, but the problem is coming! The introduction does not explain the time of the boat trip on the island and other information! Orders can only be changed and cancelled before confirmation. It is confirmed that there is no way to solve the problem soon after it is found! I can only admit that I am unlucky! This should be improved! Some hotel information is not very accurate, such as showing only a few kilometers but it is a headache to take a boat! There is no reminder on the transportation mode of the hotel. Some losses could have been avoided!

I had the pleasure of interacting with Malithi at Triton Beach Hotel, and her swift assistance was nothing short of impressive. When my clients found themselves in a less-than-ideal situation at Crystal Sands Villa due to unexpected construction and dismal room conditions, Malithi stepped in like a superhero. With just one call, she orchestrated a seamless relocation to Triton Beach in a mere 10 minutes. My clients, particularly discerning about hotels and food, are now not just satisfied but genuinely thrilled with their experience. Kudos to Malithi for her remarkable service and turning a potential travel disaster into a delightful stay!

Family room, one double bed, one single bed, suitable for a family of three, to meet basic needs. American breakfast, I didn’t have much hope, but it exceeded my imagination and it was worth the money. The boss does not speak Chinese, but there is WeChat isseywhite1, you can consult him in English for transportation, island jumping, and reservation. We are on the island for activities and transportation. The city is set by us, and the sea fishing is good. We fished three times and we all caught the biggest fish in our history. However, 7 kg of fish, local practices, personally feel. . . . The picture is the boss's WeChat circle of friends, the fish we fished (not the biggest, but the one that tastes good, the second time, the $100 charter, up to six), and the other picture is also the boss's circle of friends. Is a holiday hotel that can jump to the island
