We had a fantastic stay at Kaani Palm Beach. Rooms are spacious, a/c works really well, good sized bathroom and a really comfortable large bed. The infinity pool on the roof is a great bonus with fantastic views, although it can get very warm in the afternoons. The Kaani sunbeds on part of bikini beach are free, and have an umbrella. The main attribute for the hotel however, is the staff. We met so many lovely members of staff, that I can't remember them all, but I would like to mention Azmeem, one of the managers who helped us when we had a problem with the room. In the restaurant, Anisur, Try, Farouk, MD Alom and Omelette man Rana (apologies for any spelling mistakes) were all absolute stars, I would like to mention more, but my memory lets me down. Would definitely love to come back to this hotel 💯

No contact with the hotel, very long response to e-mails (several days) despite paying the airport transfer fee, I had to look for a connection on my own. The photos in the offer do not reflect the actual condition of the hotel. Breakfast and dinner are provided in another facility approximately 300m away. The meals are the same every day. There is no clothes dryer in the room, high humidity makes it impossible to dry wet swimsuits.

Disappointed with Reception Staff

Hotel does not serve breakfast as advertised you have to go to Kaani Palm hotel which is a short walk away but there is a lot of building work going on outside the hotel and some renovation inside. Our room was cleaned every day to a high standard. The staff in the Palm restaurant were very friendly. My big complaint was the organisation at reception for boat trips and transfers. For some of the trips the boats were overcrowded and led to long delays leaving 90mins + late. The worst was the boat transfer back to the airport. We had booked and paid for our return trip and confirmed departure time only to be told 5mins before scheduled departure that the boat would not leave for another 2 hours. What made it worse was the receptionist then said that he had not told me the departure time which was the worst thing. Soon after my request to speak to the manager about the matter another boat was found for us !!!. It was very unprofessional the way it was dealt with.

I was upgraded to Kaani Pal Beach. The hotel is good, well located and with very good client service. The positive things: - The location - The price-quality relationship - The view from the pool - The waiters' service in restaurant - The positive attitude of cleaning people - The very professional service for tourist packages The negative issues: - Just one elevator shared with service people and clients. - Exchange rate for payments in Rufiyaas is 17 instead of bank rate of 15.4 - There are a lot of flys in the restaurant - There is not a game room or outdoor court to play something

Friendly, helpful staff!

The staff stand out to make this hotel exceptional. We were picked up from the ferry pier and they brought our luggage to the hotel for us. Upon arrival we were greeted with cold towels and juice. We got into our room immediatly, everything was clean, the pool is nice and cool. There is a wide variety of excursions they offer, we weren't able to go due to time constraints, but the information is clearly displayed at reception. There is also a pool table! When we were leaving, staff took our luggage back to the ferry pier and waited with us until we got on the correct boat with our stuff. It is a quick walk to the hotel from the pier and close to the bikini beach. This is a great choice for your stay on Maafushu!

We (family with 2 children) spent 8 days at Kaani Village. Our staying was great thanks to wonderful and friendly staff. Compliments to staff especially to the Shauza, Shaha, Kefu, Monir, Suhey and Husein (appologies if we forgot anyone and for potentially wrong pronunciation:). Our children loved the pool and the snooker. The hotel has a perfect location.

poor service

The rooms are what you can expect for this cheap price. A normal room. The services given at the hotel are very poor. Breakfast buffet is very poor. Almost no choice for breakfast. Towels; they only give you towels once a day to use at the pool or the beach. One day we asked for towels and they did not have because the cleaning did not finish. We requested a transfer boat and we were waiting one hour from our arranged time.

A great family experience at Kaani Village

My experience at hotel was really amazing due to the staffs and hotel itself. In fact my friend staying at other hotels commented that they really like the staffs at Kaani Village as they are friendly and provide explanation of the island and excursions. The pool is also another a plus point. I would definitely stay here again when visiting Maafushi island.

Checked in for 5 days holiday and within hrs taken to local island doctors. Doctor confirmed critical illness and both he and nurse arranged for fast boat to medicaly evacuate island to Male ICU ward at hospital. Both myself and 2 friends where charged for complete Kaani Village stay ,small refund that was consumed by Medical evacuation costs. Dollars count more than empathy or customer !!!!!!!
