    “A TRUE MALDIVE PARADISE”

    I had an incredible stay at Arena Beach Hotel in the Maldives. From the moment I arrived, the service was exceptional. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure all my needs were met throughout my stay. The location is perfect – right on the beach with crystal-clear waters just steps away. The rooms are spacious, modern, and very clean, with a beautiful view of the ocean. The amenities were fantastic, including the comfortable beds, free Wi-Fi, and a well-equipped bathroom. Overall, my experience at Arena Beach Hotel was unforgettable, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious stay in the Maldives. I can't wait to come back!

    “Excellent Service ”

    Would highly recommend Arena if you choose to stay in Maafushi- one of the busiest local islands in The Maldives. They offer basic but good selection of foods be it buffet or a la carte, at breakfast or dinner at a fair price. I didn’t expect also that they’d serve quality cheese in their buffet breakfast, better than the ones served at a luxury resort we have stayed at for 5days. If you are budget conscious but want a quality experience better book your stay at Arena way ahead of time as they get fully booked most times. They offer almost every excursions and day visits to exclusive resorts a tourist will look for at a fair amount. Also, shout out to their staff who made everything comfortable from our arrival to our departure. Can’t thank them enough for their service☺️☺️

    “Very clean hotel with a nice view”

    All good. The service is great and all the staffs are friendly. The view from the infinity pool is amazing. The location is right on the bikini beach. Breakfast buffet has also a variety of choice but there can be flies and crows lingering around sometimes.

    “Breakfast was not ideal”

    Location : Maafushi island is relatively small and everything is within walking distance. The hotel is located under 10 minutes walk from the speedboat/ferry port. There's restaurants, snorkeling trip companies, and souvenir shops just around the corner. There's also a beach right in front of the hotel you can swim in. Hotel : On Agoda we booked "Arena Beach Hotel" but we were checked in at "Arena Fushi Sea View" instead. The hotel room was as expected but the sinks were beginning to get clogged (perhaps common with beach hotels). Breakfast : The breakfast spread had variety, however, we lost our appetite after seeing houseflies land on it. There were quite a few flies lurking around the food and no effort from the staff to manage the problem. The breakfast area is outside the hotel and it caters for all the guests staying at 3 different Arena hotels, so you can imagine how crowded the morning dining area is. Green Tax : take note that booking & paying on Agoda does not include Green Tax. Had to pay extra USD12 at check in. Honestly, we preferred Kaani Palm Beach Hotel. It felt less crowded (during peak season), staff were nicer, and didn't have flies lurking around the breakfast spread.

    “Value for money.”

    On Mafushi Island, this hotel is considered one of the better options. The sea-view rooms have everything you need, and the scenery is quite nice. The shower has stable water pressure and plenty of hot water. The hotel breakfast includes local specialties like tuna wraps and freshly made omelettes. A wrap with an omelette and a bit of sausage is similar to homemade egg pancakes, which can satisfy the Chinese palate well. The hotel rooftop has two infinity pools, and on the northern beach, there are free loungers and umbrellas available, although it can be a bit sunny during the day. There are also some loungers on the west side that have shade, but they belong to a nearby convenience store's "customer area." The hotel usually hosts singers or bands in the evenings, and there are DJ performances on weekends where you can dance for free. If possible, it's recommended to book a stay on the weekend for a better experience. Before arriving on the island, I did some research and found that the prices for sea activities vary among different operators. I initially thought of comparing prices after arriving, but later at the hotel's booking desk, I spoke to a manager named Adriano, who helped me bundle a few activities I liked at a discount, which turned out to be much better than booking separately. For those interested in doing multiple activities, considering a bundled package is advisable. Overall, I was quite satisfied, but there was a bit of regret when I was informed that the newest building, which offers the best views (Veli), was not available at check-in, and when I inquired about changing rooms later, I was told there were no alternatives. Additionally, many sea activities include free photos, but I noticed from reviews that many people did not receive theirs due to various reasons. We went to Fulidhoo Island to see sharks and couldn't return to the hotel to collect the photos. Before leaving, I left my email with the crew to get in touch, but despite multiple requests, I did not receive any response. If you encounter this situation, it's quite simple to send an email to the hotel's official email address to request your photos. You can easily find this email address online. The hotel handles requests quite quickly and will send a link to a cloud drive for you to download the photos yourself.

    Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the amenities, ocean views, and unique local flavors at breakfast. It’s great that you made the most of the infinity pools, beach loungers, and evening entertainment—we agree that weekends offer a lively and enjoyable atmosphere! We’re also happy to hear that Adriano was able to assist you with bundled activity bookings for a better deal. Your tip about emailing for activity photos is helpful, and we appreciate you sharing it with future guests. However, we regret that we couldn’t accommodate your request for a room in the Veli building and that your experience with receiving excursion photos wasn’t as smooth as expected. We’ll take this feedback to improve our service and communication. Overall, we’re so pleased that you had a great stay, and we truly appreciate your insights. We hope to welcome you back for an even better experience next time! Arena Hotels Management Team
