"The really good bits - the staff are second to none. They are committed to doing the best job possible for their guests, they work extremely hard and go the extra mile to see that everything is to your liking. As a solo female traveller i felt safe, they checked in on me and gave me advice on all things Maafushi. Food.... chef made every effort to present the food well and the menu was standard with a buffet breakfast and hot evening meal of choice. Front of house welcome was lovely. The building needs a refurb. My room was adequate but really does need an uplift from the style perspective as its dated and shabby. There is barely any internet at this hotel! Signal constantly dropping out with no hope of working from this location. The hotel and pool is much smaller than it looks on the photos. There is building work right next door.....people should be made aware before they book. The beach is literally 2 minutes away - sunbeds are available but they have to be requested on an individual basis, there are no parasols available and one of the porters has to run down the road carrying the sunbed. There is no beach presence from the hotel perspective, though you can get a free sunbed and parasol which are already set up on the beach by the other hotels if you buy a drink / food. This works - triton are missing a trick here. One final point of feedback: the staff are what keep this hotel afloat and primarily the reason for the good rating. It would be nice to see them appreciated"

"We had a lovely 9 night stay on this small island resort. We stayed in a room for the first 5 nights and then treated ourselves to an upgrade in a sunset water bungalow for 4 nights. Both types of accommodation were clean and comfortable. The bungalow added something a bit special with a glass floor to watch the fish. A visit to the spa for a Balinese massage was lovely. The food served in the buffet restaurant was very good and each day there were plenty of options to choose. The staff were all very helpful. Our waiter, Shareef, was excellent. Visam made the transfer to our bungalow completely seamless. The snorkelling was very good. Yes, much of the coral has died but there is still an abundance of sealife including sharks, rays, turtles and triggerfish. The shark feeding sunrise cruise is a must-do. The only downside of our stay is a large resort development that is being built close to one side of the island. On some days, the noise of the building works was very noticable. This is beyond the control of the Adaaran resort, but it is a shame that such a large development is being constructed so close to an exisiting resort."
