Hot Springs Hotels in Kaafu Atoll, Maldives

This hotel wasn't my reservation; the original hotel had a last-minute cancellation on the day of check-in, and Ctrip coordinated and upgraded it. I don't know the exact room rate, and I didn't have high expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised upon arrival. First, the hotel is located in the first row, right in the middle, closest to the sea and the pier (the blue and white building). Every room has a large balcony and a direct sea view. The location and amenities are much better than the Arena recommended on Redbook. Second, the hotel is quite established, with its own tour company, icom tour, and its own speedboat terminal and fleet, icom speedboats, in Male and Maafushi. I'm guessing they started out as a ferry operator, then branched out into tourism, with the hotel being their latest investment. Upon stepping off the speedboat, hotel staff greeted me with an umbrella, and when I left the island, staff helped me load my luggage onto a courier. It was a truly memorable experience. Finally, in the Maldives, known for its culinary desert, the hotel's food perfectly satisfied my Chinese palate. I couldn't believe I could get a huge plate of Lao Gan Ma squid rice bowl or stir-fried beef noodles for just $8! However, there are still many areas for improvement, such as: the lack of luggage storage in the room, room cleaning only once during our five-day stay, and the price of drinks being a bit high... Overall, the hotel's flaws outweigh its merits, and I highly recommend staying here!
