Othman, Saudi Arabia

The hotel was very nice! The rooms were clean, the staff was very friendly and always ready to help us. The location very good: just a few minutes by foot from the most beautiful beach of the island. Food was good, even being vegetarians we had a great choice at the dinner buffet! I will surely recommend this hotel to anyone going to Maafushi.

Federica, Italy

Dear Jack, Thanks very much for your help and updated room when I was in your hotel at last week. It's really nice experience for us! You and your colleague are very nice and helpful. I would like also special thanks to Mr.Imon and Mr.Monir. They both are very nice and gave us very careful and thoughtful arrangement. I am sure I will choose your hotel again when I go to Maafushi again. Thanks very much! BR Jacky(Wu Yunjie) from China

Li, China

First of all, we would like to say big thanks for the whole hotel team! You deserve an applause. Started from the time we made the booking, everything was organized so well. They informed us about the transport times and organized the boat. When we arrived, Jack and another guy from the hotel were already welcoming us. We got the best possible room and welcoming drinks. The hotel is clean, nice and has the best location in Maafushi. We also liked the food a lot. We stayed 7 nights and every evening the food was different. The whole team was working very hard to make our stay perfect! Especially we would like to thank Jack and also the guys who offered us the snorkeling trip. Had the best time in Maafushi!

Anett, Estonia

Very helpful staff. Good tours. Pretty good breakfast. Within a month there shouldn't be any construction within the immediate vicinity, which separates this place from almost everywhere in the island and should ensure less disturbance (not that there is too much disturbance at the moment).

Andrew, USA

Is located right in front of the jetty, very convenient for your everyday island trips. Staffs are very friendly & positive attitude.

Alice, Singapore

Our room was lovely, and we loved how the hotel felt open plan in the middle. The staff were great and super helpful when we were planning our transfer to the next island. It's a 5 minute walk to Bikini Beach and there are lots of restaurants nearby. It's situated right on the front, which is really handy if you're heading out on any excursions!

The room was very small and the facilities in the room were almost not available like no wardrobe no cabinets and the AC was not working properly and the bed was uncomfortable and the floor was damaged and the fan was making noise and water was not coming sometime in the shower. And also it was very expensive comparatively to other hotel and the facilities. I would definitely not recommend this hotel to anyone believe me. There is another hotel Sunrise Beach which is very good in price and the room is amazing.

Jack (hotel manager) is very helpful. Whatever request from us, he'll tried his best to fulfill our needs, the way he treat us is super friendly. Bikini beach is nearby hotel, just 5minutes walking distance. Jetty is just in front of the hotel. Convenient location. Overall we're very happy with it.

I do not like that the room has too much light and noise from the outside into the room and the air conditioner should keep the customer open and not have to turn off automatically because the weather is very hot on the island. And soap, shampoo in the bathroom for customers to be too small because the customers stay 2 people is not enough And in the bathroom there is only a towel hanger and the hotel has never had a hand towel for the customer have Only towels!! And I don't like when checking out
I like the service when checking in👌

We had a great stay at Crystal Sands. The facilities are clean and modern. The location is excellent. The food is very good with lots of options. The hotel and tour operator work together seamlessly. The staff was very friendly and helpful, much appreciated!
