Kaani Beach Hotel

We stayed in Kaani Beach in December 2019. We had a deluxe room with a sea view. We were supposed to have double room, but ended up with similar family room. The service attitude of the staff was throughout our stay immaculate: truly helpful and welcoming. Not matter what we asked, they went above and beyond excellent. The hotel itself is somewhat worn out, which one cannot see from the presentation pictures (see images in review). Also important note: the view from the rooms to the beach and sea is no longer pristine, as a variety of garden shacks have been built in front of the hotel, between the rooms and the sea. All kinds of junk were stored in the shacks, visible also to the hotel balconies (see picture attached, although the photo is almost forgiving to the junk stored). Maafushi itself is a nice island, in the midst of a rapid tourism growth phase. I believe some local said there is almost 3000 bed places in the island now. All tours, boats and services ran smooth in Maafushi, and one can expect almost every situation to be sorted out fast and smooth. I would recommend Maafushi & Kaani beach as a place to start or end your trip, but do try other islands as well in your trip.

Staffs are friendly and palace is one of the best in Maafushi Island.

We had a lovely time...the no alcohol was bad... and the noise day and night was also a problem but Michael made up for all of this.. he was an excellent marketer for the Hotel group

Good to stay in Mafushi...

Food available at restaurant especially breakfast on the island area is good. Staff is professional, friendly and is very supportive. The hotel is located front of the beach, near to the jetty station, and rest of the water activities. The Mosque is as well very near. If you decide to stay in this hotel, please check the room condition, most importantly the air conditioner and all the door locks before finalizing and taking the room key. In bathroom, the shower area got a steel tray in a corner with sharp edges, please be careful. Regarding water activities please check the prices and timings according to your convenience from hotel management and as well as other providers. You place tag or not outside the door doesn't matter, whether for room cleaning or even for do not disturb doesn’t work, better call reception and update/request them the service you require. WiFi not good, so arrange yours or just chill around. Last but not least the view from room balcony is awesome.

My husband and i checked in for one night due to a sudden change in travel plans. The room itself was decent but the woman working reception was awful. They didnt tell us a time for breakfast so i checked the information booklet in our room for the time, but when we went downstairs they told us it was over and the book was wrong. Then I called reception twice for asistance with our bags, and the woman hung up on me mid sentence both times. And still no one showed up until my husband called a third time and a man answered. The location is nice and the room was nice, but that type of rude service ruined the entire experience for us.

This hotel was perfect. The location was amazing right outside the bikini beach and close to the port. For a 4 night stay in the Maldives this was great if you are on a budget. The activities on the island were amazing offering more than the average local resort island. The staff at the hotel helped you out where ever they could and got you what you needed. The local restaurants were delicious, better tasting than the food that I had at my resort stay. Was cool also to see what the locals got up too and do some souvenir shopping.

Great vacations, good service, friendly staffs, great excursions... I hope to see You again

I have stay on the island for a while and stay in some other hotels, The Kaani beach hotel was my last day choice. The room is nice but format not useful. No coffee or tea bag in room, not big deal, but my room was not well format for user friendly, very hard to use electronic device. lighting is not convenient and comfortable. Comparing the price, this hotel is in upper scale on the Maharishi island, but I can get cheaper rate for a better room and view from other hotel on the same island. the hotel is not bad, but it is not very attractive. I may come back but depends on the price. about location, it is goo but actually there is no so call "bad" location on the Maafushi island. Every hotel is not far from each other every hotel is easy too reach by your self once you leave the boat. if you don't book room with sea view, you can ignore a hotel's location close to beach or not, because they are all very close within few steps

It was a great experience at Kaani Beach. Thanks to Michael for all the arrangement. Highly recommended to book your stay at Kaani.
