Crystal Sands is a very cozy, clean and in a perfect location hotel. The staff were all very hard working, approachable, friendly and always helpful. All of them made sure we were enjoying our stay to the fullest. We definitely recommend this place and would love to come back in the future! ❤️
Portugal. Breakfast and the ala cartes were lovely. Kudos to the chef. The staffs , Syfol, Jenny, Rosha, and the rest were all very hospitable, and very nice.
MalaysiaHotel is a great deal for the price! The personnel/reception are very polite and you can feel that everybody works for you and making your vacation unforgettable. They organise everything with high quality - boat transfers, late checkouts, resort day trips, room cleaning, food and water in case of need - really everything. There is also a restaurant on the ground floor with delicious food and guys, which are always on your disposal. Also diner garden, part of the restaurant. The roof terrace is magnificent with tropical view - ocean, palms and almost 360 view of the Maafushi island! I strongly recommend the hotel! :-)
