Houseboats in Vaavu Atoll

"This is a great hotel on the quiet side of Maafushi. A 3-5 minute walk from anywhere you’d want to be. For the price, it is a great value. Clean, comfortable, friendly, and modern. The areas it lacked were the breakfast which was limited and only fair quality food. Also the in-room wifi was unreliable at times. Aside from these two items, zero complaints. The transfer from Male airport was fast and easy, and the rest of my stay was fantastic. "

"An absolute place of utter luxury and wonderful attentive staff across the entire Island resulting in an amazing vacation "

"Friendly staff"

"Great hotel, from the warm welcome to last farewell everything was smooth and highly enjoyable. We loved the fact the whole island is set in lush greenery and i feels very private despite full occupancy. Staff is extremely friendly and helpfull. We stayed on half board basis and there was always something to choose from. I am sure there are better resorts for snorkeling but if you you are patient you find some good marine life as well (we did snorkel on the surf beach behind the reception) which we later discovered we were not supposed to do but it was the best. One thing I’d consider a downside is the restrictions that may feel ovewhelming, like the kids club that only allows playstation for kids only between noon and 2pm, swimming pool opened only till 6pm and the use or only certain beaches for snorkeling."

"The resort was amazing and the staff was very friendly!"

"We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Arena Hotel, and we couldn't be more pleased with the exceptional service provided by the outstanding staff, including Ruwan, Samida, and all the team members. Our multiple visits for massages were delightful, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience each time. Furthermore, the excursions organized by the hotel were beyond amazing, thanks to the incredibly helpful and friendly excursion team. A special shoutout and BIG THANK YOU to Afu, who went above and beyond to make our excursions memorable. We truly appreciate the dedication and hospitality of everyone at Arena Hotel, making our stay truly special."

"This is a perfect getaway. The property is as good as a 5*. You won’t miss the facilities, cleanliness and services. The staff is helpful and friendly. The views are spectacular. One thing I’d like to highlight is the quality of food. The chef is so amazing that you’ll not feel it’s less than a 5* meal. Articulate presentation, and every dish was tastier than you could anticipate. "

"Everything was beyond beautiful, better than I ever could have imagined. Every staff member was amazing and very kind and helpful. The property was very clean and everything went smoothly especially with the boat transfer. Could have been a better place to spend our honeymoon. "

"The staff is fantastuc, but owners has to upgrade this property, toilet leakage, bargeoom upgrade, TV is not in working condition, most important Safe is not working, broken safe kept in all rooms, no closet to keep your clothes nor any bench to keep your suitcases. This oroperty is not worth in Expedia standard, fake pictures guest get carried away to book it."
