Ótimo hotel, mas pouca atenção do gerente
Quarto limpo, cama espaçosa, banheiro com pequeno varal metálico. Limpeza realizada todos os dias, mas nunca colocam amenidades, sempre era necessário solicitar ao chegar dos passeios e oferecem apenas Gel de banho e shampoo. Café americano Bom para o padrão do hotel, jantar igualmente justo e diferente em todos os dias que ficamos hospedados. O quarto que ficamos fica em frente ao jardim no centro da propriedade, onde se concentram vários funcionários, tirando a privacidade. Equipe jovem a atenciosa, exceto o gerente. Era perceptível que o gerente simplesmente esqueceu das atividades que contratamos com a propriedade para os 5 dias de hospedagem, sempre tínhamos que cobrar ele, só nos dava satisfações sobre mudança de horário ou de atvidade em cima da hora. Recomendo a propriedade pelo valor acessível, mas não recomendo contratar qualquer atividade com o gerente, existem várias empresas de turismo na ilha e prestam serviço para o próprio hotel. Outro ponto negativo é que não respondem e-mail, enviei pelo site hotéis.com e pelo site oficial do hotel antes da viagem, mas não obtive resposta para agendar o transfer. Fiz por conta própria quando cheguei em Malé.

Loved the White Sand Lodge and Maafushi Island
We started our trip 3 island stay in the Maldives at the White Sand Lodge in Maafushi. The lodge was fairly new and in great shape, easy walking distance to anywhere on island. The service and staff were absolutely incredible and we can't say enough good things about them. Lodge included lobby, courtyard sitting area, rooftop deck with 360 degree views, nice dining area for meals which also worked as great work space for me. Full board meals served were also very good during our stay here. Daily excursions were reasonably priced and all nearby this island which was nice and the lodge made them simple to sign up for. Make sure you sign up for the Dolphin trip! Also make sure you don't miss the island crab races at night which were a blast for the kids. Highly recommend staying at the White Sand Lodge as we can't say enough good things about our stay there. Maafushi island is also great but probably don't need more than 4-5 days there before moving on to another island. Locals are very friendly. Plenty of eating options on island. Bikini beach on the island is pretty small and somewhat crowded but the snorkeling is very good there. Lots of new lodges being built so recommend you go now before the island gets too crowded. Once again, we had a great experience here and would highly recommend the White Sand Lodge as well as visiting this island for 4-5 days.

Ошибочный выбор.
Уборка в номере оставляет желать лучшего,полотенце дают рваные,за день до выселения,предупредили о раннем выезде,на ресепшене так и никто не появился,поэтому чемоданы пришлось самим нести на пристань. Предварительно списывались с отелем,что хотели бы отметить день рождения на месте,пообещали помочь в этом,а на месте этот вопрос проигнорировали.Если я вернусь на этот остров,то не в этот отель,и вряд ли его порекомендую своим знакомым.

BOM HOTEL E DE BAIXO CUSTO
Passei seis noites aqui com um grupo de 9 pessoas. O hotel tem algumas deficiências (em um quarto o ar condicionado não gela, o carpete precisa de limpeza, essas coisas) mas os quarto são de bom tamanho, cama ótima e o valor econômico. Café da manhã regular. Mas nas Maldivas vale mesmo o que está fora do hotel e a escolha por passeios faz toda diferença. Neste ponto negociamos muito com o proprietário, que deu boas dicas, descontos e procurou facilitar tudo ao máximo. Uma das pessoas do nosso grupo fazia aniversário e ele preparou um bolo. Seus funcionários eram atenciosos e sorridentes. Disponibilizou um quarto sem custos no último dia de nossa estada para tomar banho e trocar de roupa (o voo saia só a noite), providenciou transporte, etc. Verifiquei que a disputa por venda de passeios é grande e o valor é praticamente tabelado para os pacotes. Então ele incluiu refeições grátis (servidas no hotel) como diferencial. Eram refeições regulares, mas que se não fossem oferecidas significaria um gasto por pessoa e refeição de algo em torno de 8 a 12 dólares (esse é preço médio nos restaurantes). A localização não é beira mar, mas com 10 minutos de caminhada estávamos na praia aberta aos turistas e com 5 minutos no porto para pegar os barcos do passeio. Recomendo.
