TOURIST INN GRAND

Malé

10/10 Excellent

This place was awesome! I arrived early in the morning, they let me check in no problem. The room was clean, comfortable, and great AC. Everyone was incredibly nice and accommodating. Cool room structure almost apartment style. Your own private room, bathroom, desk, etc. but also an outer area you share with one other room that has a kitchenette, and larger sitting room. I liked the location. Felt very safe, and fun to walk around. Very clean, comfortable, and had great staff.

Samann Grand

Malé

10/10 Excellent

All the staff are incredibly kind and courteous. Airport transit was flawless, and very easy. Stayed in the Samaan Suite. Bed was comfortable. Had room service every night, so the food is definitely reliable, they also ask about dietary restrictions at check in, and were happy to make dishes according to our needs. I researched every hotel on the main island for an airport transit and Samaan Grand is your best option if you’re looking for a luxurious stay to compliment your next island...

Niva Kurumba Maldives

Vihamanafushi

10/10 Excellent

Kurumba was just amazing. From the check-in process to checking out, everything was flawless. They made the speedboat from the airport effortless. They greeted us with delectable coconut sherbet. The activities they had were awesome- from the Maldivian cooking class with Ibrahim (which includes a free lunch!) to the Back of the House Tour to the Snorkeling Lesson, we had a blast! But the staff, I cannot rave enough about the staff. They are all extremely friendly and we felt like we were part of...

From the moment we landed in Malé to the time we left the island, the hospitality and friendliness of the staff was very welcoming. Our Hostess made sure that every little detail had been taken care. The sunset villa was ideal for our stay. The 4 visits to Elena Spa during our stay was ideal after having been couped up inside a metal tube for over 14 hours. I visited the PADI dive center on Ailiafushi and made a total of 9 dives. The crew was awesome. Saw Manta Rays, Sea Turtles, sharks and we...

Taj Exotica Resort And Spa

Emboodhu Finolhu

10/10 Excellent

We stayed at Taj Exotica Resort for 3 days for our honeymoon during last week of Nov 2014 and it was just amazing. The resort is very beautiful with warm sandy beaches and turquoise blue waters. The entire island can be covered by foot in about 20 minutes or less. It has good restaurants and bar, also the Spa is very calm and relaxing. You get a very personalized service and almost everyone seems to know you by your last name. Every room comes with a personal butler, we did not rely on our...

The Somerset Hotel

Malé

10/10 Excellent

First, this hotel is the best kept secret. Somerset ranks number one in my book. It is the only hotel I would stay in when in Male. The hotel's rating is four stars but overall it's a five star. Not in the best of locations (small street) but it's located next to everything you need. I was treated like valuable customer by all the staff including the great restaurant next door. The food was excellent, people friendly and they truly find pleasure in giving their guest amazing service.
