This is one of the best hotels in Maafushi.But don't contact Andreano, he sells tours at ARENA TOURS. Promises a lot, but then you have to. He doesn't keep his word. It is better to buy from others and not think about the consequences...
On December 20, 2024, I'm having a rest at the Arena Hotel. I'll start with the bad news : there are no umbrellas on the beach - they say come back tomorrow :) and so it is every day . In total, my whole body was burned, my whole body was covered with pimples, my whole body itched and itched (although I was sprayed with protection factor 100, bought here in the Maldives), my whole lip was blown apart - solar herpes. As explained, the wind is outside and we don't put umbrellas on, it will blow away;)) you swim on the beach and a surfer cuts through the surfboard, and not at depth, it's scary to swim out of the water. It is impossible to swim without corals , there are rocks and corals in the sea . We bought coral in a store for 10 bucks . I advise you to take breakfast ( we took full board , it 's not expensive , they don't give water for lunch or dinner , they feed chicken) in a cafe - pizza 10 bucks ; soup 6-8 bucks , coffee 2-3 bucks , milkshake 5 bucks , juice 5 bucks , tuna 15-18 bucks , lobster 10 bucks 100 gr I went out for 50 bucks , a plate of frozen food for 35 bucks . It's tastier and there 's a lot of choice in the cafe..we had lunch and dinner at the cafe , despite the full board . And it 's also impossible to walk down the street , there are scooters everywhere . Excursions : turtles , fish , dolphins -30 bucks , for sharks 60 bucks , great whale shark 100 bucks . To the island resort for 1 day 125 bucks per person . This is not the first time in the Maldives, I liked Diffushi more . There is no place to walk , there is a secluded garden on the town hall, where there are many trees , hammocks , swings . Moreover , there is a cough with soft seats , there are no swings here , but there is a net swing . Many people choose this hotel to take photos from the pool overlooking the ocean - it is impossible to enter the pool, the water is icy. The beach strip is narrow , and there are no herons , as on all small divas . Difushi is also a local island , there is a heron and a swing in the ocean for photos and secluded places with swings and free Wi-Fi, there are fish in the sea and corals are unnecessary ! There are no fish on Maafushi, and there are rocks in the sea and it is very shallow
A good hotel, continues to improve (under construction) and settle down. The rooms are new, in the building where they were this time, everything is clean and tidy, no frills. The beach is at the entrance, very convenient. Friendly, unobtrusive staff. Adriano was very pleased with the discounts on excursions. The choice of food in the dining room is sufficient for the whole family, everyone is well fed, including picky children. It takes 40 minutes by boat from Male.
