Хороший бюджетный отель
Мы были в конце января. В отеле встретили хорошо .Завтрак был хороший,по Мальдивским меркам .Единственный минус -нет практически окна.Оно выходит на стену .Все отели расположенны на одной улице и разница расстояния до пляжа 50-100 метров.Отдых на острове очень понравился.
The Arora Inn is small in size and a bit further from the "more active" side of the island but perfectly comfortable and the extremely friendly, attentive staff enhanced my stay. Hot days/nights kept at bay with very efficient a/c and ceiling fan. The shower in the bathroom is a little challenging as there is nothing separating it from getting the rest of the bathroom totally wet. There is one TV on the premises (in the lobby) that the staff kindly let me watch American electoral politics on CNN International!
Perhaps there was a time the the Arora was a good option to stay on Maafushi. But it is certainly not a leading accommodation choice anymore.
The room barely resembles the photos. They are dark and airless. There are no decorations or attempt to make it more presentable. There is no TV, the WiFi is almost unusably slow. The bathroom is so small, you almost have to stand in the toilet bowl to get under the shower head. The staff have a relative low level of English (when compared to most workers on the island). Breakfast is a joke. Plus it's about as far away for the beach or restaurants as you can get.
I would say it's fine as a backpacker/budget option, but at the prices they are charging, pretty much ANY other hotel on the island would be a unbelievably better choice. Avoid the Arora until they cut their prices.
Was there in June 2015. Nice clean rooms. Very homely. Nice owners and many activities to plan for. Did a package tour with them for USD40, which includes Sandbank, Mantle point (no mantle spotted though), Turtle point and dolphin point, with lunch on the sandbank. Quite a distant from the pier, but, it is a small island....every where is "not so far" to walk.
We spend 7 nights in that lovely hotel and we are really pleased with service and nice friendly atmosphere. Food was good but if you want to try something really Maldivian, then you have to ask for "Maldivian diner" which is different curries. I didn't liked fish in meals we had, but all other thing were fine. All staff is very friendly and caring like good friends helping with everything you need. Also we had a better price for snorkeling, but you also have to check other places. All in all we were pleased with this hotel.
