Family-friendly Hotels in Maafushi

Like my review title indicates this was an experience of a lifetime. Diving in the Maldives had been on my bucket list. My wife and I spent nights at this resort. On arrival we were greeted with multiple staff members sporting smiles and coconut drinks for us. We cannot say one negative thing about our stay with COMO. The food was amazing with special meal preparations courtesy of Chef Ketut Dika. The restaurant manager, Dewa Hindra, was always there to greet us and make us feel welcome and cater to our every desire. Our villa butler, Ishmael, visited our villa twice a day and promptly kept all clean and tidy and always left us with abundant supplies of all that we needed. My divemaster, Sharkey, who is appropriately named, guided me on 11 dives and showed me the best of the reefs and marine wildlife that Cocoa Island had to offer. The dive boat was very comfortable and on all but except one of my dives I was the only customer/diver on the boat but there were four crew. Every other member of the resort staff were always friendly, helpful, and greeted us with a smile. COMO intentionally limits their guest list to promote guest satisfaction. This is not typical, certainly in the case of large hotel resorts. By the time we left we were totally spoiled. If you are planning a dive vacation or just a get away vacation this is the place to go.

From the moment we stepped on maafushi we were welcomed from the hotel . A buggy was a couple of step away and our luggages were taken care of. With a little quick island tour we were taken to the hotel and the checkin process was so smooth . It was great service from Sachin from reception to make it all happen . Seeing his smile was enough to make all our worries go away . The room was excellent quality and the amenities were more than enough for our short stay . Truly amazing view of the ocean at the 5th floor with a balcony filled with privacy . I observed how other hotels had constructed their balcony but triton prestige went beyond expectation for privacy. The next day we planed to go to the beach and staffs understood and guided us to the beach and also assisted with the best and the most comfortable sun-bed from the whole beach . There are so many staffs around and attentive. The breakfast also had amazing options and staff were attentive as well . Monir was one of the best server there he knew me and he was always smiling and engaging . Even-though i came late to breakfast he didnt show any frustration kept his smile from his heart and it really meant alot . And to even sum it up we had like 2 hours after check out still they offered to use their pool facilities and shower as well .. It is very happy to know that they are still in service for us until we take out last steps out of the island . Thank you all for this anticipatory and making this trip memorable .

Masala Street (inside White Shell Hotel): The entrance looks very fancy but when you step in, it's a kind of a let down where they have a plain room with tables and chairs put together. As this restaurant is attached to White Shell Island Hotel and Spa, their menu prices are all in USD, as is the case with all such other restaurants in Maafushi Island that are tied with a hotel. On the other hand, it seems that stand alone restaurants charge in MVR. A major negative is that they charge a 4% fee on the Bill of you pay by card, which doesn't apply if you pay by cash. The moment we told that we don't have USD and were about to walk out, the person said it's ok that we pay by card and he'll waive off the 4% fee. LOL! We had ordered Veg. Kadhai and Rotis (because their tandoor wasn't operational, so we couldn't have had naan) and were pleasantly surprised by the taste. It was very much like typical Indian taste. The rotis were phulka and served piping hot adding to the good experience. We would visit again, just for the taste.

Absolutely beautiful stay! The location is the most private possible, which is also what I love the most, away from the crowded tourist bikini beach, you can enjoy the beauty of local Maldives and tranquility of the island. Facing the sunrise, this hotel is beach front giving a stunning view. Check their terrace, it’s breathtaking! The rooms are spacious, good bed & blanket the softest ever (even more than resorts I’ve stayed!) lots of natural light, views of the island everywhere. There is housekeeping turn down service every single day, they really do a great job keeping our rooms super tidy. TV with plenty of channels and a mini bar, it’s also refilled with coffee + water daily. They also have a lovely restaurant facing the beach with homely tasty food, + the bartenders make impressively yummy juices & smoothies. But what really stands out for me is that the staff is amazing, extremely helpful, cordial, kind and steadfast. The service from staff here is 5 star resort, no kidding. Even we had a unfortunate situation with my husband who got so unwell and the staff supported us with everything taking him to hospital and make sure room is the cleanest, with high safety measures being taken there. I have no words enough to thank this place and their amazing people for making our stay so memorable, we still have Sunrise Beach in our thoughts now and then, smiling when remembering our moments in Maafushi staying there. Thank you so much for everything, and we will be back for sure!

I stayed 4 nights at this hotel which was enough as my first impression of the room was not what it looked liked online. It was very dated. The storage cabinets had broken off bits of wood and no flowers, fruit or towels wrapped up on bed as picture shows on their website of bed. The bathroom smelt upon arrival with the toilet blocking up twice. Yes I put toilet paper in the toilet first time then was told not to put toilet paper in toilet so didn’t after that but stilled blocked again. The lavender smelling sachet in bathroom was empty on arrival. Bed was hard. Lightbulb above mirror was blown in room. Room safe had key but numbers didn’t work. TV didn’t work. No signal. Reception was presented well. The breakfast was not great. Not much choice and all foods were cold. No heating of baked beans or sausages. The woman in the dining room was rude twice. Could have been more polite and friendly. I only had breakfast twice and it was very little. I could hear the staff out the back in the kitchen clearing their throat very loudly as if going to spit. I also heard this upstairs a few times by staff. I thought was disgusting. The stairs had broken wood and weren’t the safest. The guy who got my baggage when I arrived and also took it to the boat was the Hotels best asset. He was lovely and always had a smile. He was very respectable. It is very noisy there at night so no sleep until midnight as set surrounded by bars and restaurants playing loud music. Garden setting is lovely. Beach is across the road. Though can’t swim there. This hotel needs a refurbishment. The best part was the shower. Good pressure from large shower head. I rate it 3/5 for my stay. Also wasn’t given more loo paper when room was cleaned in day 3. Only cleaned once. Wouldn’t stay again.

My first trip to maafushi and the hotel lea spa hotel is great place to stay and experience. The friendly staff from the reception to restaurant is excellent. The room is really clean, comfortable bed. A small mini bar with a complimentary water bottle and coffee is really great. The hallway is clean and always smells very nice and refreshing. The roof top restaurant is very clean and food and drinks taste great and the sunset view is a great time to enjoy dinner with the sun kiss the ocean view. The reception is very clean and well organized with any requests from the guests. Maya always smiles and checks the if the guests needs any assistance to book excursions, etc.. Maya is wonderful staff who really try upselling the rooms, promote the restaurant. I feel like she a great asset to the hotel management. Rakeeb the room boy is very friendly and nice to talk with. My stay from 21st August to 22nd August in room 206 is memory which will always be remembered and i will definitely be back to this hotel.

If you're planning a budget-friendly trip, Nala Island Village is one of the best places to stay. Located in the Kaafu Atoll on Maafushi, the hotel offers an excellent experience for travelers. My friends and I spent two nights there, and we were thoroughly impressed. The staff were incredibly friendly and provided timely pick-up from the Maafushi jetty area. The hotel is just a 5-minute walk from the jetty, making it very convenient. The rooms were spacious and clean, which was a pleasant surprise for the price. Plus, the hotel provided free Wi-Fi. The location is fantastic, with the watersports area only a 2-3 minute walk away. After check-out, the staff even took care of our luggage and dropped it off at the jetty, which was a very thoughtful touch. Overall, our stay at Nala Island Village was wonderful, and we will definitely choose this hotel again on our next visit to Maafushi. Highly recommended for those looking for comfort and convenience on a budget.
