Lagoona Sunset

Stay away from this hotel. The staff was unhelpful and dishonest. When I inquired about rooms, they claimed they were fully booked even though I could see availability online. The person at the front desk was rude and said GET OUT. Avoid this place for a more pleasant stay elsewhere.

I strongly advise to NOT booking with this hotel. During my visit to Maafushi, I was exploring various hotel options before making a decision. I happened to inquire at Lagoona Sunset, and my experience was far from pleasant. The person at the front desk provided false information, claiming that all rooms were fully booked and that I couldn't view them. I found it suspicious because I could see available rooms for that night online, so I asked why I couldn't see a room. Instead of a reasonable explanation, he became defensive and abruptly told me to 'get out.' When I inquired about speaking to the manager, he claimed to be both the manager and the owner of the hotel, which I found hard to believe based on his unprofessional conduct. This encounter left me with a terrible impression and an unwelcome feeling. In contrast, other hotels I visited were incredibly friendly, readily showing me their available rooms. Sadly, my experience at Lagoona Sunset was marred by dishonesty and rudeness from the staff. Additionally, there was ongoing construction nearby, causing a great deal of noise. Not only did I encounter a discourteous staff, but I also had to contend with a noisy environment. I highly recommend looking elsewhere for accommodations to ensure a more pleasant stay, as the staff's attitude can significantly impact your experience.

Firstly, the owner, mr. Ahmed is very polite and makes sure the guests have a peaceful stay. The hotel has all the required amenities and is right in front of the beach. It also has balconies where one can chill. The best part is, the hotel is 2 min walking distance from the main jetty, which is a big relief.

Location hardly matters in Maaffushi as the whole island is a 10 min walk. Booked the hotel for two nights stay. The host Ahmed was extremely responsive on chat n email and kept us updated. Also helped in booking for water sports and speed boat ride from Male airport. The hotel staff greeted us as soon as we got of the boat and took us for a very smooth checkin with some fresh juice. The hotel is around 5 min walk from the bikini beach and the Resturant area, is extremely clean and peaceful. Its a newly build hotel so every thing was brand new. No hush n bush so ideal. Breakfast was nice and room service did a fantastic job. Highly recommend if you are looking for a not so fancy but extremely clean, safe and peaceful hotel with all basic utilities in a hotel.
