Hotels met parking in Kaafu Atoll, Maldives

Rating: 3/5 Stayed at Solunar Hotel in Maafushi and had a mix of good and frustrating moments What I liked: • Staff were very polite and friendly overall Room was bia with a balcony; nice space to relax after the beach. • They booked our speedboat transfer to the airport for us, which was convenient What could be better: ‣ Breakfast is plated, not buffet. and there were flies in the breakfast hall ‣ No lift, so it's tough with luggage if you're on a higher floor. Biggest issue: On checkout day, staff came tc our door around 12:00 noon to collect speedboat payment. We paid him. When we went to the lobby at 12:15 pm, no one was there. Waited until 12:35 pm. Tried calling and WhatsApping the hotline, knocked on staff quarters, nothing. We ended up leaving the key at concierge, sending a photo on WhatsApp, and walking to the port ourselves with medium luggage. For a hotel that handles airport transfers having no front desk coverage right before boat time was stressful. Overall the room and staff attitude are good, but operations on checkout morning need improvement.

The place is as clean as the reviews here, the staff are superb, and the food also is delicious. Roos was ok, and everything is better. Normally I don’t do reviews, but this place made me.

The hotel has a perfect location, the best on the island: it is in 10 meters only from the beautiful main entry to the bikini beach. The beach is so big and clean! Umbrellas are for an additional fee but there's no need in them cause you can sit wherever you want under the tree. I had a cosy room with a balcony, on the second floor. In the room, you have everything you need: an air conditioner, a kettle, a fridge, lots of lights, towels etc. Cleaning is upon request. Wifi was good. The staff is extremely friendly and polite, always ready to help, they helped me so many times with different questions, the kindest people!! A team of divers live at the hotel and leads excursions for guests from the whole island. Snorkeling with them was the best experience in my life! I've seen colorful fish, big sharks, dolphins, and even a sea turtle. For breakfast, you have a choice between continental and maldivian breakfasts, I personally loved the last one, it was delicious. Always fresh fruits and juice before breakfast. Sometimes in the evening, the hotel prepares barbecue dinner with fresh fish from the sea and with traditional music, such an authentic experience! There are several restaurants on the island to have dinner, including the hotel restaurant. They're more or less of the same quality and price, liked local food there. Gulhi is very calm and tiny island, just 30 min on the boat from Male island. (The transfer to Gulhi from the airport costs $25.) There were not many tourists on the island, when I stayed. No noise at night at all, so if you're looking for calmness, this is probably the better choice for you than Maafushi. Also it feels safe if you're a female solo traveler. For me, everything was just perfect, loved the place, the food, the beach, the excursions. I think the guesthouse is the best price/quality option on the island. Thanks so much❤️

One of the best hotels on Maafushi Island. The hotel arranges airport transfers from Velana International Airport, complete with full assistance – luggage handling and refreshing drinks. They are accommodating with early check-ins without extra charges. The hotel has its own Bikini Beach, which is cleaned daily. A wonderful breakfast is included, depending on your booking rate.

We originally booked Kaani Beach Hotel but we were pleasantly surprised to get an upgrade to Kaani Palm Beach with a sea-view room. The view was absolutely amazing and made our stay even more special! 🌊😍 The staff were friendly and welcoming and we had a really enjoyable experience overall. We also booked our water sports tour package through the hotel and we had a lot of fun during the excursions. One small tip: you can also book tours outside the hotel in Maafushi, where you may find them a little cheaper. But for us, the convenience of booking through the hotel was worth it. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend Kaani Palm Beach for a relaxing and memorable stay in Maafushi! ❤️

A cozy hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Everything meets expectations. The room is clean and comfortable with good soundproofing, which is very important. The location is excellent, with all amenities within walking distance. Breakfasts are provided, and they are varied and delicious.

If you planning a Trip to Maafushi , Maldives as a Couple / Family then Nala Island Village is the Perfect Budget Friendly Hotel to Stay in Maafushi Island, Excellent Staff + Cleanliness is top notch. I'll recommend this Hotel to each and everyone looking for a Budget Friendly Stay✨️

Before leaving China, we contacted the manager of the hotel. He arranged for staff to pick us up at the airport and helped us buy speedboat tickets for 20 US dollars each. At the dock, the staff used a cart to carry all our luggage to the room upstairs. The service was thoughtful and enthusiastic. The room was large, the supplies were very new, and the living was very comfortable. There were 4 kinds of breakfast every morning, you could choose one or combine two breakfasts. The service staff was very responsive and enthusiastic. We were worried that there would not be enough water on the island and we needed to buy mineral water with US dollars, but the hotel provided unlimited drinking water. We were worried that there might be a lot of mosquitoes on the island. We communicated with the manager before checking in and asked him to spray insecticide in advance. There were no mosquitoes in the room. But be careful to turn off the bathroom light when you go to sleep, otherwise the mosquitoes outside will enter from the entrance of the bathroom. We chose to eat breakfast in the room, which avoided mosquitoes outside. There is a clothes drying rack outside the room. The roof is made of wood and is very unique. It rained every night and was sunny during the days we were here. The room is surrounded by residents and is very quiet, unlike the popular hotels that play rock music all day long. It is 10 minutes away from the beach and 10 minutes away from the pier. Overall, I am very satisfied. The owner is very enthusiastic and often chats with us to help us solve temporary difficulties.

An amazing stay. We've experienced hospitality like never before! Our host Mohamed went above and beyond for our family. The breakfast was great everyday because Mohamed went to culinary school, and he also kept our two toddlers entertained so much so that they would go out to find him first thing in the morning. He is a great company and a lovely person. The location was great for walking and exploring the island. there are shops in every direction. all in all, would definitely recommend for families. and especially muslims because Mohamed keeps it very clean and it is near a beautiful masjid

The hotel was incredibly easy to find, practically right in front of me as soon as I arrived in Maafushi. It was so close to the airport that I didn't have to wander around at all after my transfer, which was a huge relief with all my luggage. Its accessibility also made it super convenient for tours and getting around during my stay. There were tons of cafes and restaurants nearby, perfect for grabbing a bite or just relaxing. The location was ideal for soaking in the Maafushi vibe. A big plus was the really fast Wi-Fi; I had no issues using the internet, and uploading photos or streaming videos during my trip was completely stress-free, which I really appreciated. The pool was well-maintained and pleasant to use, and the panoramic views of Maafushi from there were absolutely stunning. My only minor gripe was that I didn't find the staff to be exceptionally friendly, which was a bit of a letdown. However, overall, the convenience and location of this accommodation made it a thoroughly satisfying stay.
