My experience started after I booked my trip to the Maldives, the hotel contact us directly offer help with transfer from the airport, this was greatly appreciated and accepted. The hotel is 3 minutes walk from the beach and jetty. The Staff are an asset, the Front of House Manager helped with booking tours and was professional, yet friendly and warm. Our cleaner (Shamim) made our stay special and appreciate the effort he made making our room every day. I would recommend this hotel, it is conveniently located to everything and the staff are the best.

We had a wonderful day at the kaani beach hotel. The hospitality of the staffs are impeccable and we really appreciate their service throughout the 8 days 7 nights when we are there. Micheal is such an incredible host and he made sure we are comfortable during our stay. We brought our parents along and they enjoyed it as much too. The facility is near to the port, beach and the most of the activities. The counter made sure that we had umbrellas when it was pouring and Micheal sat us down to plan the whole itinerary for us. Despite 1 full day of rain, we still got to do everything that we wanted. The activities that kaani tours (affiliated) that they had to offer are affordable and great. We formed a bond with all the boatman and they were just amazing. Thank you for making our trip such an incredible stay. Definitely made the whole trip memorable.

So I don’t normally do in-depth hotel reviews but this deserves it to help save someone. I booked at Kaani on Maafushi before going to the private island. First there are several hotels in this chain next to or close to each other. Note they are not all equal in price or quality. Read the reviews carefully. I booked Kaani Beach when I should have booked Kaani Palm Beach. Their hotel is nicer it seemed and amazing Saturday night beach party. There were only 2 floors in Kaani Beach so the sea view is through the trees and mostly of tin roofs and it’s an old building, no elevator which does not work well for my back. They gave me a triple room when I booked a double. The toilet was leaking and a rooster crowing out my room. The room and building was just horrible. I asked for a change in building and room. After back and forth, calling the manager etc the only room available was the king penthouse suite on the 7th floor in Kaani Grand which still had stairs because the elevator only went to the 6th floor and it would cost me extra $$$ to upgrade. It was nice and the view amazing and it was spacious. I went for my pedicure in their spa which is nice and it was ready when I came back. Note this is a chain with high guest’s occupancy so run like a machine. No extra niceness like the luxury brands in Maldives so lower your expectations. Free breakfast was ok. The worst part is after paying all that extra $$ there were roaches in my suite on both nights.

We arrived on the island, and the hotel staff took us to Kaani Palm even though our reservation was at Kaani Beach. When I pointed this out, they said that Kaani Beach is closed at the moment (Yet they still sell rooms there). This annoyed me because I did not want to stay in Kaani Palm. I did not want to stay in a big concrete block with hundreds of other people, and that is why I chose Kaani Beach (which only has 16 rooms). When we got our room, the noise was unbearable. There was construction going on 5-10 metres away, and things in our room were shaking, and it was loud enough to drive you crazy. We asked for a new room and were told that it wouldn’t make a difference and that the daily construction noise finished at 7pm. So we were supposed to listen to the noise for 10-12 hours a day. We started looking for a new hotel but thankfully the manager came in the evening and found us a room further up without construction chaos. THE FOOD was a big disappointment. Every night that the buffet was outside, the food was cold - Even though we came down as soon as the buffet opened. We really regretted paying for dinner because it was cold, bland and like something you would perhaps serve kids in a school cafeteria. It should be easy to make a few simple salads that people like, but there would be strange soggy things or unidentified meats in

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.

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.

It was a nightmare right from start. 1. For transportation to the island that is only 24km away they asked $169 each; we independetly found a ride for afix rate for both me and my fiance $40. 2. When we arrived we were shocked that the hotel we got didn't even look any close to the one we booked on Expedia. It was all photoshopped and misrepresented as a resort island when in fact it was a jail island with strict traditional rules that applied to all tourists. 3. We were allowed to use the one and only tiny beach reserved for tourists of all of the 3 hotels. 4. Local restaurants had a very poor choice of food and the overall hygiene was pretty poor aswell. 5. They advised not to go out at night and the doors were locked with security present. The whole island was dark after 10pm. 6. There was no alcohol allowed on the whole island. 7. From the start we were offered daily tours off the island to different resorts at additional cost, starting $80 for a half day trip. 8. The overly polite managment of the hotel failed to explain the misrepresentation of everything put on Expedia. We were faced with big smiles and white lies. 9. Next day we decided to leave even though we paid for 7 nights. We booked a nearby resort on a different island that was around 4 km away for double price. They proveded us with a $190 transportation as it was the only option. We paid $45 since it was an evident robbery. That saved us from a long dissapointing journey as we ended up having a great trip.

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.

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.

We had a wonderful day at the kaani beach hotel. The hospitality of the staffs are impeccable and we really appreciate their service throughout the 8 days 7 nights when we are there. Micheal is such an incredible host and he made sure we are comfortable during our stay. We brought our parents along and they enjoyed it as much too. The facility is near to the port, beach and the most of the activities. The counter made sure that we had umbrellas when it was pouring and Micheal sat us down to plan the whole itinerary for us. Despite 1 full day of rain, we still got to do everything that we wanted. The activities that kaani tours (affiliated) that they had to offer are affordable and great. We formed a bond with all the boatman and they were just amazing. Thank you for making our trip such an incredible stay. Definitely made the whole trip memorable.

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.

Hotel is clean, comfortable and right opposite the beach. The staff were very attentive and the AC, fridge and fan in the room all worked well. The shower was hot and powerful. Great base at a great price!

They actually moved us to kaani village a few doors down.. because they said the hotel was booked.. it was still nice only that the bathroom didnt have an exhaust.. and every morning the bathroom would stink.. when we asked the staff, he was really nice but i do not think he understood what was going on.. he just said do not flush or put water... overall the place was nice... for meals better eat out if you want variety or you will be eating the same food everyday.

It was a nightmare right from start. 1. For transportation to the island that is only 24km away they asked $169 each; we independetly found a ride for afix rate for both me and my fiance $40. 2. When we arrived we were shocked that the hotel we got didn't even look any close to the one we booked on Expedia. It was all photoshopped and misrepresented as a resort island when in fact it was a jail island with strict traditional rules that applied to all tourists. 3. We were allowed to use the one and only tiny beach reserved for tourists of all of the 3 hotels. 4. Local restaurants had a very poor choice of food and the overall hygiene was pretty poor aswell. 5. They advised not to go out at night and the doors were locked with security present. The whole island was dark after 10pm. 6. There was no alcohol allowed on the whole island. 7. From the start we were offered daily tours off the island to different resorts at additional cost, starting $80 for a half day trip. 8. The overly polite managment of the hotel failed to explain the misrepresentation of everything put on Expedia. We were faced with big smiles and white lies. 9. Next day we decided to leave even though we paid for 7 nights. We booked a nearby resort on a different island that was around 4 km away for double price. They proveded us with a $190 transportation as it was the only option. We paid $45 since it was an evident robbery. That saved us from a long dissapointing journey as we ended up having a great trip.

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.
