The hotel is very accomodating to your needs. The staff are amazingly polite and helpful. Place is also always clean, plus close to the port and facing the sea as well
The hotel is fine.
Jack, the front desk manager, has a perfect team which will give you the best service they can.
The room was alright, nothing fancy.
Except for 1 major cockroach (which my heroin smashed) and a power outage, no complaints about the hotel at all.
Only thing was that the breakfast/dinner included were minimal. When you pay extra, you get better meals.
Great hotel to have as base. From there, you have to book your excursions. We paid like $270 per adult and $100,- for a toddler.
The excursions included
First day night fishing. Great experience. Don't forget your camera.
2nd day was a full day on the resort Island Adaaran Vadoo/heaven. Never ever in my life had I experienced such a nice beach, clear water, all in drinks, lunch, swimming pool, relaxation, etc.
3rd day was sharkfeeding, turtle reef and manta reef with lunch on a local Island.
Between the location we spotted several times wild dolphins.
Once when we returned we still had to do our watersports activities, which included in the package.
Because we had our toddler, we had to take turns on the waterscooter ride.
After, we had done the water tube all 3 together.
The water tube was a bit wild, so we ended after 5 minutes. But we did enjoy.
Next day we had to leave. To be honest I would have enjoyed 2 more days relaxation on the resort Island. But it was just that 3day window that there was no rainfall. Before and after our visit, it was everyday rainy showers forecasted.
My tip is too bring along your own dollars from point of departure. And don't exchange more than $50,- into Maldives rufia. Since you'll have paid your hotel in advance. Or otherwise they will charge you everything in $.
Damaged bills will not be accepted.
Awesome place to stay on Budget. Very close to the shore and great hospitality.
This is one of the best hotels I have stayed in, simply because of the AMAZING hospitality of the staff, attention to details in the room and the suberb excursions that they arrange. The management especially Jack and Tarang go out their way to make you feel at home. I would highly recommend this place.
Very nice, cozy hotel with around 17 rooms in all. The people who are working there are more than polite. Everybody is awesome! Food is tasty. The beach is a very short walk distance from hotel same boats. Only one problem can be mosque located very close, so you may be wake up very early before the sunrise.
Please take note than the hotel offers rooms with partially sea view (look my pic) what is actually nothing else than island view. The sea view rooms however can also offer only obscured view for the ocean. If you don’t care about the views I can recommend this place.
Directly in front of the see our room was with View th the Island..wifi is poor in the room.. in breakfast we found many insects..in general one of the best Guest House in Maafushy .Jack the Manager is friendly and he gave us free cake before leaving so as Maria
Great boutique hotel!! The staff here is so nice and friendly.
Awesome i have stayed there, staff and chef's behaviour was awesome, guest oriented and hardworking, i love the hotel lot, no disturbing experince, only loving moment, will stay there vwry soon..
Great place, very hospitable, food is a lot better than near by places, quite pricy in regards to Maafushi and more variety of activities
Great place close to the beach and great staff 😄
Their food is wonderful and staff is very friendly and kind
Nice hotel, nice staff especially Jack, the manager, they help you and provide all what your need as long as you stay at maafushi island. The price is friendly. 👍👍 two thumbs
It's really nice place to be. Best service and very kind staff.
i had an exceptionally great experience with Crystal Sands. i was there with a friend, our room was cozy, clean and with a great view from the balcony. Their friendly, accommodating and ever helpful staff is the best thing about this hotel. Its close to public beach, other restaurants and the boats if you want to take excursions. Highly recommend it
A very impressive hotel, but it spoils the "local" aesthetic of the rest of Maafushi.
Wonder experience. Best place. Awsum staff
Excellent resort with all basic amenities. Room and bathroom were both very clean. Staff was very friendly and accomodating. The resort is located right on the beach and the view from our room was simply beautiful. They have also included few vegetarian options in the menu.
We just had buffet dinner here and it was good. The staff was very friendly and the hotel looks really nice, at least from outside!!! :-)
We went for dinner there, because our hotel restaurant (Arena Beach Hotel) was so crowded.
Seems to be a very nice hotel with very kind staff.
Dinner was good and prices reasonable.
Next time we are in Maafushi we'll definitely stay here and not in Arena Beach.
