Hotels With Wi-Fi in Kaafu Atoll, Maldives

"A. Family trip, two villas. One sunset deluxe beach pool villa, and one sunset beach pool villa. 1. The deluxe villa is very luxurious and new, with air conditioning in the bathroom, but it's far from the restaurant and relatively further from the beach compared to non-deluxe rooms. 2. The regular villa is next to the restaurant, very close to the main pool and the lobby. However, it's older than the deluxe villa and its bathroom doesn't have air conditioning. B. The hotel's location is excellent, just a 20-minute speedboat ride from Malé airport. C. We bought the full board package. The restaurant specializes in Indian cuisine, which we really enjoyed. Juices and beverages are only available at breakfast. For lunch and dinner, you can only order à la carte; soft drinks are $5, juices are $10, plus an additional 27% service charge and tax. Haha... D. The excursions are too expensive, it really hurt my wallet (see picture). It's better to book them on a local island. E. You can snorkel near the overwater bungalows and the jetty, but there aren't many marine creatures, and the water quality is just average. Overall, the hotel offers great value for money. Next time, I definitely need to visit a local island, it's so much more economical... PS. It's best to download WhatsApp in advance. Our butler didn't really use WeChat and was often unreachable..."

"I had such an amazing stay at this hotel in the Maldives. The design is incredibly modern and elegant—everything feels so thoughtfully styled and perfectly put together, giving a true sense of luxury while still blending beautifully with the surrounding nature. The staff were exceptionally kind and helpful throughout my stay, and the entire property was spotless. One of my favorite highlights was definitely the infinity rooftop pool—absolutely stunning. I genuinely had the best time here and couldn’t recommend it enough!"

"Traveling with my child, I opted for an island-view twin room. The first thing I noticed upon entering was a strong musty smell. I initially thought it was normal due to the humid seaside environment, but when I upgraded to a water villa later, there was no smell at all. If you're sensitive to smells, definitely avoid the island rooms. While the island rooms are further from the restaurants and pool, they open right onto the beach, which is convenient for kids to play. Secondly, the hot and cold water labels in the room were reversed! Is this acceptable for an established resort? This led to one of us taking a freezing cold shower. We told the butler, and they said someone would come fix it the next day. However, someone knocked on our door to fix the hot water after we had already gone to bed. Speaking of which, I have to complain heavily about the butler. I only saw him once upon arrival and never again. His replies to messages were always delayed by four or five hours, and his answers were completely irrelevant, solving none of my problems. When I asked about upgrading my room at my own expense, he didn't reply. I ended up having to contact Trip.com customer service, and they were the ones who resolved it for me. (I regret tipping him immediately upon arrival, as there was no service whatsoever. Our luggage was delivered half an hour late after being told it would be five minutes.) There were no toothbrushes or slippers in the island room for two consecutive nights, and housekeeping didn't replenish them. I initially thought the hotel was being eco-friendly, but the water villa had everything. Trip.com's page also indicated that island rooms should be equipped with toothbrushes and slippers. When I asked the butler, his answer was again evasive. Here's another very useful piece of information: although the island advertises seven restaurants, very few are open for dinner. You won't have a choice of seven; it's more like two or three. During my stay, the dinner buffet was completely unavailable, and the other six weren't open every day. Some also require reservations, and if you're late, you won't get a table. So, if you've booked three meals a day, pay close attention to what's actually available for dinner. On our first night, the butler didn't even remind us that we could go to dinner. We arrived at 7:30 PM, and dinner closed at 10 PM, so we essentially wasted a dinner. I only found out about this by checking myself. I asked the butler if we could exchange it for lunch on our departure day, but I received no reply until I left! The restaurant information online and from the hotel is vastly inconsistent. Even their official website states the buffet is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays, while Trip.com's page says there's a dinner buffet. The information simply doesn't match up. Bring extra snacks! Aside from the butler and the restaurant opening times, all the other staff members were incredibly, incredibly, incredibly good! When I wanted to check out, my boat was scheduled for 3:30 PM, but I said I wanted to leave sooner. They immediately arranged a boat for me. Every single staff member was smiling and enthusiastic. If you come here, please avoid the butler Ali; he was terrible! I've truly never encountered such a butler. Having this kind of experience on vacation was a huge disappointment."

"★★★★★ Staying in an overwater bungalow at Summer Island Maldives was an absolutely incredible experience. Being able to step directly into the ocean from my room was amazing, and the time spent gazing at the crystal-clear waters and breathtaking views was truly unforgettable. The room itself was clean and comfortable, and just relaxing on the terrace felt incredibly luxurious. The buffet offered a wide variety of dishes, so I never got bored and enjoyed every meal. All the staff members were very friendly and always greeted me with a smile, which made my stay very pleasant. The island isn't too large, so I think it's perfect for anyone looking to unwind and relax in a tranquil atmosphere. I can honestly and highly recommend this resort to anyone who wants to experience an overwater bungalow in the Maldives! I definitely want to visit again."

"Our stay was excellent, definitely a paradise for families with kids. Upon check-in, Joey gave us a tour of the hotel facilities and even spoke Cantonese, which was a thoughtful touch. The overall service at the hotel was fantastic. We chose a family room for two nights, then moved to an overwater villa for another two. The beach villa had ample space, with a separate area upstairs featuring a double bunk bed and a play area. It also had a private pool with direct access to the beach, which was very convenient. The hotel butler service was top-notch; whenever our kids tracked sand inside, someone would promptly come to clean it. The transition to the overwater villa was seamless. They arranged the change of rooms efficiently, so as soon as our luggage was packed, someone was there to assist, which was very considerate and saved us time. We opted for the all-inclusive meal plan, and all the restaurants were delicious, with many options to choose from. I highly recommend getting the meal package, otherwise, à la carte prices can be quite steep. We enjoyed swimming in the pool and ordering drinks as much as we liked; it’s an even better deal if you drink alcohol, as it's unlimited. The entire hotel ambiance was wonderful, and we had a very enjoyable experience throughout our stay. Kids under 11 get free children's meals. Tip: When booking on Trip.com, choose the package with airport transfer for the first two days. You don't need to select it for the latter two days; they will help arrange it for your departure day."

"The biggest drawback of this hotel was the constant buzzing of the air conditioning, which gave me a headache. The room itself was decent, with a balcony where clothes dried overnight. We booked an island hopping tour with Kani and had a great time, although we happened to be on a very crowded trip with about 20 people, completely filling the boat. The nurse shark experience was done one family at a time, and then the drone footage was taken one person at a time. The downside of so many people was how time-consuming it was. The night fishing was pretty good, with about ten people, and quite fun. Afterwards, we had fried rice and one fish per person at the hotel's ground floor restaurant. Don't have high expectations for food in the Maldives; it's definitely not as tasty as in China, but it's not bad and fills you up."

"We had stayed at Bandos Maldives before, so coming back felt a little like returning to a familiar place. Overall, we had another very enjoyable stay and would happily recommend the resort. One of the biggest advantages of Bandos is its location. It takes only about 15 minutes by speedboat from Malé Airport, which is incredibly convenient, especially after a long flight. The downside is that you do sacrifice some of the feeling of isolation. Malé is clearly visible from the island and has grown considerably since our last visit, and you can also see other islands around Bandos. So if you are looking for the feeling of being completely alone in the middle of the ocean, this may not be the best choice. For us, however, the All Inclusive package made the whole stay exactly the kind of holiday we needed. We genuinely didn’t have to think about anything. We didn’t have to plan activities, worry about where to eat or constantly think about what to do next. It was a real mental reset — slow, peaceful and completely relaxing. The package also included a good selection of activities and drinks at the bar. The food was definitely one of the highlights. The restaurant has changed since our previous visit, and we were very impressed with the quality and variety of the food. Everything was fresh, well prepared and genuinely delicious. The house reef is another great advantage of Bandos. There is plenty to see, including colourful fish, turtles and sharks. However, the best snorkeling is concentrated on one side of the island. Other areas have more damaged coral, and some parts are quite shallow, so swimming is not always possible. During our stay in June, the wind was also very strong, creating large waves around the breakwaters, which made snorkeling difficult even for a confident swimmer. We stayed in a Garden Villa. Everything was clean and housekeeping was good, but the villa, especially the bathroom, is starting to feel a little tired and could definitely benefit from renovation. The staff were friendly, attentive and always willing to help. Overall, Bandos remains a lovely island with great food, a beautiful reef and a relaxed atmosphere. We were happy to return, and for anyone looking for an easy, comfortable and genuinely relaxing Maldivian getaway, especially with All Inclusive, Bandos is a great option."

"An amazing vacation! A cozy, small island, a haven in the middle of the ocean! The staff's hospitality is amazingly friendly! Everything is new and clean, cleaned daily, and there's water. We stayed in the villa and experienced pleasure and enjoyment every day. The nature was stunning; we saw so many animals and marine life! The food was wonderful and varied, but the breakfasts could have been more interesting. That's perhaps the only drawback, but everything else is beyond praise! We'll definitely be back!"

"The resort was one of the best resorts i have stayed in maldives. From the airport pick up, to the greetings at the hotel, to the room interior to the resort exterior everything was beautiful and well prepared! I honestly will stay at this hotel again… the food was amazing and tasty! All the restaurants were top notch. I was surprised by the water activities that they had on the island , suitable for adults and children really really easy to book and obtained. We went on a dive with the water sports center i can not believe how powerful the sea cliff in that island. With well trained staff and well behaved. We delt with a host called Ashfaq he was professional and helped me prepare a beautiful birthday surprise for my family member. I really enjoyed staying there it looked and felt luxurious. Just what you look for for a family trip and wellness escape. The spa was really really beautiful as a place we stayed there for a good amount of time to relax and they did not disappoint 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Loved our stay at Centara Grand Lagoon 🤍🤍🤍🤍💯"

"This was my first trip to the Maldives, and I'm so glad I chose Embudu Village. The island is conveniently located for Male: the speedboat transfer was quick and comfortable (you need to contact the hotel two days in advance of your arrival to arrange the transfer. Payment is $90 upon arrival on the island). I had a connecting flight in Dubai, and my flight from Dubai was delayed almost two hours, so I arrived in the Maldives later than expected. They still waited for me and sent me straight to the island without any problems. I liked the bungalow room: clean, spacious, with working air conditioning, a safe, a refrigerator, a kettle, and two glass bottles of water (refilled daily during housekeeping. They forgot my bottle once, so I went to reception and told them, and they refilled it right away – no problem). I stayed on half board – breakfast and dinner. Important: you'll be assigned a specific table, and you'll eat at it throughout your stay. The food was delicious—beef, chicken, lamb, various fish, even pork (!)—they had it all. The dessert table was huge and incredibly delicious. Tea and coffee are complimentary at breakfast, but drinks are extra at dinner (a 1.5L bottle of water is $3, a glass of wine is $7, and a bottle of wine is about $50). Payment for all additional services (including purchases at the on-site shops) is due the evening before departure at the cashier's desk next to reception. The biggest advantage of this resort, in my opinion, is the HOUSE REEF!!!! I'm an inexperienced person, and it was my first time snorkeling here—and it was absolutely wonderful. There are so many different fish, but the highlight is the abundance of blacktip reef sharks. I saw whitetip reef sharks twice. You can also spot turtles. I once watched an octopus hunting, and I was lucky enough to see an eagle ray fly by ❤️❤️ The reef is incredible, with so many different creatures. If you go, I highly recommend snorkeling as much as possible! And don't be afraid to swim at least a little away from the pier. The reef entry points are marked with red flags; it's best to study the reef map before diving. On the first day of my stay, I arranged a reef walk with the dive center, and I didn't regret it; it was a pleasant and safe experience. A few days later, I signed up for a snorkel with nurse sharks and lancehead rays at the dive center. At the appointed time, we all gathered and swam to their feeding area. We spent an hour and a half swimming with nurse sharks and rays. Blacktip reef sharks occasionally came by, and there were also some predatory fish, I don't know their names. I really enjoyed watching them all; they were wonderful creatures and created wonderful memories. I paid $30 for a shared reef walk, and $60 for swimming with the sharks and rays. Payment is made at the dive center. The island itself is also beautiful, with plenty of sand and trees. The land life includes grey herons, reef herons, a flock of Indian flying foxes, white-breasted crakes, koels, parrots, and scaly-sided hawks. There are lounge chairs and hammocks scattered throughout the area. The island's size and the trees make it possible to relax on the shore in the shade and enjoy the ocean views. Twice a week (I think Wednesday and Friday) there's live music after dinner. There's also a gym (or, let's call it a mini-library) on site, and the WiFi is very good – I could watch TV shows and play games. Checkout was also comfortable. I checked out of the bungalow at the appointed time, my suitcase was picked up and taken straight to the speedboat, and I went to breakfast (it was served, even though I had to check out very early in the morning). My luggage was delivered to the airport on time. I'm very happy with my stay at this resort; if I ever go to the Maldives again, I'll choose Embudu Village. Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation ❤️❤️"
