Hotel ratings by criteria:
We stayed at the Summer villa in October. This is an excellent hotel with a wonderful family atmosphere created by a Maldivian family. Therefore, all the hotel staff are really interested in every tourist and do their best to make the guests happy all the time. The rooms are kept clean, bed linen and towels are changed regularly. The rooms are equipped with powerful air conditioning and a fan, some of them have refrigerators, mini-bars, safes (wooden). The showers have water heaters, so every room has hot water. They provide guests with soap and shampoo (not every day).
The hotel is located at a distance of 30 minutes by boat from Male or 1.5 hours by local ferry. The ferry runs (30 MVR/person/one trip one way) daily at 7:30 am (Maafushi island - Male) and 2:30 pm (Male - Maafushi island), except Friday.
Maafushi Island is a great place for those who want to plunge into the atmosphere of local life. And it's a surprisingly pleasant place with very friendly locals, which we really enjoyed. The island is absolutely safe for walking, even at night. Maafushians are very friendly people, always ready to help without any tip. So you can buy souvenirs several times cheaper than they are sold for resort tourists. Local shops (except for souvenirs) have fixed prices, and you can buy fruits, food and even clothes, shoes and everything for snorkeling for real money.
Naseem, the owner of the Summer villa hotel, organizes wonderful excursions: swimming with manta rays, a trip to the sandbar (Send Bank), Byadhoo Resort, Park Island, a trip to see dolphins and fishing. The snorkeling spots they offer are brilliant. We saw manta rays, lobsters, octopuses, sea turtles, all kinds of stingrays, dolphins and billions of fish, as well as very beautiful corals, starfish, sea cucumbers, etc. The price of the excursion depends on the number of guests who are ready to go on one and the same excursion. It is very nice to feel that the hotel staff cares about every tourist. The owner does a lot of nice things for guests absolutely free. This hotel is really the best place in Maafushi island. Some tourists staying at the White Shell Beach Inn Maafushi came and dined at our Summer villa hotel because the quality of the food and the service were so much better.
We left our hearts on this island and in this wonderful Summer Villa hotel. We will definitely return there.
