JD SummitRating: 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.

kelkonsVery nice and comfortable accommodation. Went with a friend of mine back in October 2023, and we were greeted by a warm friendly receptionist and a clean lobby. Our room was on the second floor, with very comfortable beds, toilets, and necessary amenities. Except that the sink's tap water smelled a little funny which we avoided using. However the reception was quick to send over whatever we requested, like water, clean towels etc. Would definitely book again if i ever visit Himmafushi again next time!

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❤️

АнтонЗOne 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.

SashiiiiWe 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! ❤️

Guest UserEverything was great! A clean overnight stay and then further excursions were perfect. Breakfast was good; we're not picky people. They gave us drinking water every day, and the staff was very helpful. Well done! 👐🏽

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

JiamaojunsimayiExcellent room! This is the best hotel I've stayed at in Mafushi. The air conditioning was strong, there were no mosquitoes, and it was very clean. The room was spacious and had a balcony. I highly recommend the drinks at the downstairs restaurant; the ambiance was fantastic. The rooftop infinity pool was also beautiful, and the service was superb! Everyone was attentive to our needs.
