Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Property itself was very satisfactory. TV did not work. The door to the room is full glass with a curtain so privacy not great. Ensuite fine. Air conditioning worked. Bed linen / towels worn out. The first room I was offered had no window except the fully glass door so I asked for an alternative. The property is surrounded by noisy building works. on the plus side the property is in close proximity to the beach and other hotels and restaurants.

Lovely little hotel - shame we were not collected

Nice hotel. Good sized room with fridge and kettle. Cups, tea, coffee not provided no tv in our room as it was broken but the Wi-Fi was good enough to stream from. Staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast basic but edible. Let down by a failure of anyone to meet us at airport for the transfer as arranged. Instead we made our own way from Male using private ferry and then walked.

It’s a very nice place to stay. Specially the staffs are super. Their hospitality made our trip so memorable. All those staffs are polite, helpful and professional. Specially Mr. Sajol, Mr. Emdad and Mr. Gulzar during our stay, helped us to get resort trip and ocean trip so convenient. Also arranged airport transportation so reasonable and helped to drop our baggage at the speed boat point in very early morning. I definitely book this hotel again and recommend my friends and relatives to visit Nala Island not only for the good hotel itself but also for enjoy the staff’s hospitality. Thank you Nala Island.

Amazing service

I loved my stay at Nala Island. The room was clean and a very good size. Right from my arrival at the jetty Shozol took great care of me and you can tell takes pride in his work. He showed me around the island and made sure I felt at home. Even after checkout, I had a late shuttle to the airport, and he made sure I had access to a shower or anything else I might need during the day. This hotel is great value and I would recommend it to friends and happily stay here again!

Wonderful staff make the Maafushi experience

The staff at Water Breeze are friendly and so helpful, especially for those who show up with no plans! They make it easy to get out to the beach or restaurants on Maafushi, or to book amazing excursions to private islands, whale sharks, sea turtles, manta rays, dolphins and more. Rooms are clean, neat, and well air conditioned. Water gets pretty warm but not hot, the internet connection is okay, and the breakfast is minimal but fine. Note there is no food available here after breakfast, so you will have to wander out to find some.

best location on maafushi

Welcome drink upon arrival and a great outlay of details for activities by the main service man. He was young, energetic and a good laugh. The breakfast was amazing with many options to choose from. Every morning included coffee, tea, juice, fruit, egg,toast, plus a local choice from a Buffet stand. The room was clean, comfortable, and the TV was a nice relaxing bonus. The bathroom was great with good pressure and hot water. Make sure you order dinner an hour in advance as everything is made fresh and takes time. The activities were top class and well recommended as you do get a private speed boat. The only negative aspect was when we kept trying to pay but had to wait on the manager several times. And the staff may need to be reminded a couple times about things, if you ask them . However, nothing Major to add. Beware of all the construction work happening around the island. The public beach is noisy and not relaxing at all.
