This is a small, cozy guesthouse. The service is super level in terms of support and assistance, they will help and tell you where and how to go or how to book. Shozol and another one employ a very kind and nice managers. The food is simple and unpretentious, but fresh. My Wi-Fi was excellent, but you get tired of reconnecting every couple of minutes. This is a great place for those who constantly go on excursions every day.
Offering a year-round outdoor pool and views of the sea, Triton Beach Hotel & Spa is located in Maafushi in the Kaafu Atoll Region, 26 km from Male City.

I really liked the atmosphere on Maafushi, very chilled, I wasn't constantly harassed by people trying to get me to eat in their restaurants. I found the island very quiet and peaceful but I was there out of season and I suspect it can get much busier.

The trips on offer are spectacular.
The trips on offer are spectacular. I would advise you understand the type of boat you are going on and check the weather. Salt Beach do fabulous trips and the guys on the boats are great.
We did have a trip with 'Maldivian Fellows' I was very disappointed with this one as they didn't have watchers looking at the people in the water and showed no encouragement to people that were a little nervous like 'Salt Beach' guys
We did the parasailing which was fabulous. We booked this with the guys next to the bikini beach and they were great.
Ive been to the island 5 times now and love its rustic charm although it is getting busier.
I can highly recommend the 'Juice Vibe' for the best coffee and juices. There are lots of restaurants to choose from, my favourites are 'Moonlight' which is situated at the opposite end to bikini beach and the Indian restaurant next to the Kanni hotel. Some of the washroom facilities are not so clean so always carry tissues with you.

People of Maafushi treat you based on the following: if you are white-skinned and living in a resort, you get the best treatments. After that, white-skinned, then brown-skinned in the resort, and the rest are treated like they don't belong in their precious land. Their definition of hospitality means you are meant to agree and not counter when they suggest something. If you have a different opinion, you are rude and disrespectful. The nature is unparalleled, but the locals have a long way to go to learn hospitality.

It is a very beautiful small island with very warm and hospitable people. With azure water and golden beaches. Prices are very affordable, there are several good restaurants.
It was impossible to swim because there are many reefs in the water inside and we caught our feet many times, which is why we could not go into deep water, and near the shore there is waist-deep water. No one has informed us about this. The hotel must inform the guests about such details in advance.
It would be good if there would be a bridge for those who want to swim in deep water, which would give them the opportunity to go directly into deep water.

Public island - so no alcohol/ all inclusive plush.
Public island - so no alcohol/ all inclusive plush. The island is small, had good snorkeling, small shops, restaurants and bikini beach! Everyone is friendly and want to make sure you have a good time. Many options to rent water crafts, fun water sport items. Many excursions that give you exactly as they are advertise. A short trip by boat from Male makes it convienent - not have to spend all day getting to your hotel.
This is one of the best hotels on Maafushi. Located next to Bikini Beach, where all activities take place, it offers a convenient location to avail water sports and excursions and breathtaking views of the ocean. Unlike some of the other poor reviews I read on food, the taste was amazing. The roof top pool was the best part. It was mostly empty and allowed us to experience it as a private pool. The hotel offers excursions and given that they have a large number of guests, you are sure to find a package of your liking.
The staff were very nice and cordial. The lady at the reception, Maadi (I hope I got the spelling right) welcomed us at the Port and brought us to the hotel when we arrived in the evening; helped with booking the selected water sports activities and excursions. The rooms were just perfect and very clean as well. Internet connection was very strong. I liked that it was in the more quiet place of the Island, yet easily accessible to everywhere. I stayed in a city view room, but could also see the ocean partially.
Affordable option in Maafushi with most hotel amenities in room provided. Excursions or tours can be organised with some require minimum pax. Speedboat ride around 30 minutes from Male and island is calm with many options surrounding for meal or some shops for necessity. Check in went well and smooth check out. Efficient Houskeeping special thanks to Muhammad Suhail from Bangladesh and his fellow colleague for make up service also caring FnB staff for breakfast time.
The staffs were extremely helpful, I would like to mention specifically Kausar who was really caring and helped us throughout our stay. He was our go to person for anything and everything. Jessica also helped us a lot in terms of our queries related to transfers and everything.
Food was good. People of maafushi are really sweet and caring. Hospitality was mind-blowing and we definitely want to come back again to Maldives and stay in Kaani ofcourse!!!
The Arena Beach hotel is very nice place to stay when on Maafushi. Bikini beach is in front of the hotel and it is main
reason for many of us to come to Malidves. The room is spacious and clean with safe, mini bar and fresh water refilled every day.
Bathrom is huge with all toiletries, shower gel, shampoo and lotion. Beds are big and comfortable.
Staf is great, from reception till room service and guide guys for excursions.
Kaani is a chain of hotels in Maafushi, Perfect location one step away from the beach. Housekeeping is good daily cleaning and changing of towels and bedding. Separate towels for beach and chairs available at the beach for Kaani guests.Most of the hotel staff are good, special thanks to Mr.Tiger for his service. Bit disappointed with breakfast everyday almost same stuff. Overall not bad .....I will recommend this property .
The staff is really polite and helpful. The food here is the best on the island with a reasonable price. People from other hotels used to come here for lunch and dinner. Arun the manager helped us with transport, currency exchange and also obliged to our request for decorating the room for our honeymoon. They accept INR through GPay if required. Best for Indian food(Veg & Non-veg) - Dosa, Uttapam, Curries, Juices etc.
Best Accomodative Reception manager who always ready to help their guests and very much welcoming i stayed in 5 hotels in Maafushi i found best treatment by Taniya in all hotels. Just bother her with anything she will get it resolved.Because of good service i stayed back again to this property and again i was mesmerized with the stay here. Fantastic staff, Cleaning staff is also helpful.
We enjoyed our stay in oceana , the staff were very kind and helpful and very welcoming iqbal at the reception helped us arrange all the activities we wanted with great prices andall was perfect the entire atmosphere was cozy, the hotel location is in a quiet area were you will enjoy and relax and the island itself is very beautiful.
So, thanks a lot for a great vacation guys.
I rarely leave comments on properties I stay in, but Lagoona Sunset is one of the best hotels I’ve ever been to. The staff are friendly, with beautiful smiles, especially Ahmed and Abdelhamid. Ahmed, the manager, is flexible and helpful. The room was cleaned every day, making me feel at home. Thank you! I won’t think twice about coming back or recommending it to others!
The view from balcony is amazing. It is mind blowing, just sit in balcony and have a view of bikini beach and the sea.
Breakfast is very good , lot of veg options and it 's very organized. All the excursion activities can be booked at hotel reception very easily after check in.
A must stay hotel in Maldives and one of the best on maafushi island.
Staff was really friendly and helpful. The yard and restaurant were so beautiful. The food in the restaurant was amazing. Location is excellent, close to the bikini beach.
Also, the hotel is a part of the Triton hotels so we could go to white party or have dinner at Triton Prestige hotel for free.
The staff is genuinely super friendly and helpful. The hotel is very close to the beach. The price/quality is great. It's a smaller hotel, which feels more comfy and home-like, rather than some other bigger hotels on the island.
I love the hotel, nice staffs, most wonderful staff is Rakib 💯 he is super friendly and he took me in tour around the island he helped me very much and I really enjoyed my stay in the hotel & will comeback for sure ☺️☺️👍👍
Beautiful hotel with a warm feeling , feels like HOME near by many things and on the best side of the island. People working there are truly amazing and helpful, warm and friendly. Will definitely go back!
The treatment was amazing especially when it comes from the hotel manager. We were really surprised with the prices that were totally fair and the treatment. The romantic dinner is amazing!!!!!
