    “Exceptional”

    Arena Hotel, with great views, no bugs, and excellent service. Hotel staff will pick up guests at the airport, offering welcome drinks and towels. Some bring yachts, others check in, some move luggage to their rooms, some explain precautions, and there's breakfast (which I find quite delicious). When checking out, someone will deliver a message to your room one day in advance to confirm the next day's transportation, and they will also help with luggage, accompanying you in waiting for the speedboat; everything is in perfect order. The image shows the balcony view of the room, making for a very comfortable trip.

    “Chinese people do not deceive other Chinese people.”

    This hotel offers great value for money, and the breakfast buffet is quite good. The luxurious sea view room has a beautiful view! However, it is essential to notify the hotel in advance about any special requests. I opted for a high floor and stayed on the 6th floor, and the view was stunning—absolutely no filters needed, totally worth it! The service is also excellent; when booking a boat, staff come up to confirm departure times and other information, and they are very responsible!

    “Highly recommended”

    I celebrated my birthday at Arena Beach Hotel on March 13, 2026, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! If you are staying on Maafushi Island, don’t even look elsewhere—this is the place to be. The Highlights: • The Rooms: Absolutely luxurious and spacious. They were cleaned perfectly every single day. The bathroom was huge, and the ocean view from the room was "heaven on earth." • Location: You cannot beat the location. It is situated right on the prime spot of Bikini Beach. • Dining: The breakfast had a massive variety of delicious options. We also enjoyed the dinner buffet, which was fantastic. • Activities: They organize everything! We did the shark swim, dolphin watching, and fishing followed by a BBQ dinner. • The Service: The staff is incredibly polite and cooperative. They even surprised me with a beautiful birthday cake, which made my day so special. Highly recommend! I wouldn't stay anywhere else.

    “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
