h78 is an award-winning hotel situated just a stone's throw away from the turquoise blue sea and white sandy beaches of Maldives. We have been recognized for our exceptional customer service for nearly a decade and are one of the oldest hotels in the greater Male' area, offering consistent care and service to our guests. Booked the room with sea view and it was exactly as shown in pictures. Loved the hospitality and friendliness of staff from the complimentary transfer from and to airport, welcome drink at check in. We dined at their restaurant and the food was beyond expectations. Would definitely recommend anyone staying here to try their Chicken Fried Rice and Maldivian Reef Fish. The breakfast was good too.

Crystal Sands provides modern yet cosy rooms with free WiFi on Maafushi Island. Featuring its own restaurant, the property also has a tour desk, 24-hour front desk and garden for guests to relax in. Staff are able to converse in English and Mandarin Chinese. I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Crystal Sands Hotel during my holiday, and I must say it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the hotel's team made me feel incredibly welcome and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was memorable. Firstly, the team was incredibly helpful by meeting us at the Harbor and even assisting with our luggage. The hotel's prime location, just across from the harbor, made it extremely convenient and easy to access. It was such a relief not having to worry about navigating my way to the hotel with heavy bags. Upon arrival, I was greeted with refreshing fresh fruit juice, which was a delightful touch. The staff at the reception were always smiling and friendly, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. To my pleasant surprise, I was even upgraded to a room that exceeded my expectations. The rooms themselves were beautifully decorated and had a cozy ambiance. The beds were comfortable, with soft duvets and fluffy pillows that provided a restful night's sleep after a long day of exploring. I also appreciated the thoughtful provision of water and coffee in the rooms, ensuring I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The breakfast at Crystal Sands Hotel was a delightful experience. There was a range of fresh and delicious options to choose from, but my personal favorite was the omelette station. The chefs prepared made-to-order omelettes with a variety of fillings, ensuring a delightful start to the day. Throughout my stay, the hotel's maintenance staff did an excellent job of keeping the premises clean and tidy. Whether it was sweeping up the sand or attending to any cleaning needs, they were diligent in maintaining a high standard of cleanliness. One evening, I experienced a heavy rainfall, and the hotel staff demonstrated their exceptional hospitality. They offered me coffee and cake while I waited in the reception area, ensuring my comfort during the unexpected weather event.

Newtown Inn, a property with a terrace, is situated in Hulhumale, 100 metres from Eastern/ Hulhumale beach, 6.8 km from Henveiru Park, as well as 7 km from Villa College QI Campus. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, full-day security and free WiFi. Thought to some reason we stayed in the nearby facility we enjoyed our stay 100%. Modern hotel, great breakfast. 2 welcome bottles of water. Host was so helpful that printed our tickets (required for some airlines) and offered us free airport transfer. We could leave bags after checkout before the flight. Hotel is 50 meters from the beach and a small free zoo with parrots, rabbits, pigeons, etc. For those who love snorkeling there's a lot of fish though it doesn't seem so, as the sea is not deep. There's a shower at the beach if needed. Extra tips: - do NOT exchange big amount of money at the airport. Especially from black market guys right after the exit from airport. They have some random badges, but they are illegal cheaters. In the city you will get 10% better rate if needed. Almost everywhere you can pay in USD. - If you going to travel to the other islands check schedule at the official MTCC site. Tickets for ferries that are in schedule could be bought at the station or directly on the ferry. Cost is about 2 USD per person. Don't use companies that offer these tickets X10 times more expensive. There are speed boats that cost 25 USD, but those are per special request.

The 3-star Kaani Beach Hotel is located on Maafushi Island, a sunny beach getaway surrounded by coconut palm trees. Activities on-site include scuba diving, picnics on islands, dolphin watching and snorkelling. A rooftop sundeck and free Wi-Fi are also available. The staff was amazing. They were very friendly, kind and helped us with everything we needed, even after we checked out. The room was nice and clean. The hotel is at a great location, right next to Bikini Beach, restaurants and shops. Special props to Shamim who always made sure our room was clean and was wonderful towards us.
