Best Local Tour Guide and Sincere Heart-warming Service”
We book full day TOUR and never regret our decision. The Best Tours I have ever experienced. Tour Guide Moose is the best professional guide I've ever seen. Very professional and passionate in giving us best experience possible. I like his passion and he take real good photos and underwater videos which we are unable to do so by ourselves. I am also touched by Nasir whom give his best to make our stay in SHADOW PALM comfortable and memorable.
I will not hesistate to stay here again and go out on a Tour by SHADOW PALM if I were to come to MALDIVES again.. In my opinion it is the people and their service that makes SHADOW PALM NO.1 in MAAFUSHI.
The place of stay is not high rise but few units which makes me feel more like a resident of this island than a Tourist. Makes me feel at Home. 😊
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK GUYS!

Good Value”
A basic hotel with no frills, good value option for a weekend trip to the Maldives. Fantastic location and the staffs there are all so friendly and eager to serve. The room is basic but adequate. Breakfast is served early for us as we took the day trip out for 2 days which we appreciated. The plus point is the day trips out in the sea, organised by Shadow Palm, it was an amazing experience: well organised and so much fun...will definitely go back to Shadow Palm and hopefully this time we will be lucky to swim with the whale shark !

The guys that work here were great at helping us will our bags and making sure we didn't miss our boat. They gave us a great deal on a boat ride as well. Very helpful with our questions about the island and where to eat. Go stay here before they tear it down and put up a big hotel in it's place!

Highly Recommended, great location, top class excursions and excellent service rendered!”
Well, the minimal expectations of the rooms were met, comfy king size bed, strong shower and air-conditioner. Of cause, we can't sing enough praises for all staff, especially caretaker, Naseer for the services and friendly advise rendered. Definitely a gem to this hotel, Naseer made all his guests feel like home!
Great location as well, just a short walk to the Bikini beach and all the surrounding eateries. The highlight of our stay got to be the excursion trips organised by this hotel. Absolutely worth the money spent for a once in a life time adventure. You will not regret it!
One minor con to note is that this hotel is not responsive to the various emails/communications sent prior to our check in. Nevertheless, fret not, all your request during booking will be duly noted by the hotel. Small note to vegans, request can be made to Naseer to prepare meal without meat for the breakfast, however the choices will be limited. He tries his best to accommodate any of our requests.

The excursions they run out of the hotel are also amazingly run and a lot of fun for great value. I would highly recommend the Shadow Palm and will definitely be staying here again if I am ever back

This place is highly recommended and worth your money! 😉

Satisfied apart from the late check in.”
We were pleasantly surprised to picked up at the ferry before midday but unable to check in the room because the room was still occupied by the previous tenant and could not be traced. We only entered our room until after 4 pm in the warmth of the living room despite having only 3hrs of sleep the night before because of the flight delay.
Nasir was very helpful in providing the informations that we need.
