هتل سامر بیچ مالدیو

Perfect for short stay prior to Liveaboard

+ Very clean and very pleasant staff

Staff needs to be trained better. Facilities are good.

+ The staff anticipated my requirement of packed breakfast since i had an early morning flight which is much appreciated. The portion provided was also very wholesome.

− There was a problem with respect to payment which took one entire day to resolve. I checked out at 0500 hrs. The hotel was to send me a link at 0900 hrs when finance opened, however i got it only in the evening around 1600 hrs. The link didn’t work and I had to stress over finalising it when i wanted to enjoy some lovely stress free quality time with family. The team needs to be smarter at decision making. The lady could have called the previous night informing that change is not available instead of waiting until departure at 0500 hrs to inform the same.

OK for a night

+ near airport

− unfriendly staff

Excellent Location!

+ /1/ Location /2/ View from the balcony /3/ Included round trip airport transfer

− No kettle in the room.

Excellent staff, location, top floor restaurant with views, breakfast average, airport pickup drop.

+ The staff is par excellence in their service and politeness. The airport pickup was in a luxury van. The room was rather compact but it's expected in a tiny island city. Rest everything was perfect - toiletries, tea-coffee, towels were new and soft, the lift was working fine, the restaurant on 9th floor has excellent views of the bridge, sea and the airport with planes landing. There is a small public beach enclave there (sorry no bikinis allowed there).

− Room size could have been a little bigger but then I was a solo traveller and this is a tiny city. Not much to complain but stating a fact. Breakfast could have more varieties for vegetarians (staff offered to make a veggie sandwich, so it's nothing specific just a general observation).

Decent value and beautiful staff. Great seamless transfers from and to the airport. Good breakfast

+ Fine for an overnight stay whilst in transit

− The toiletries were extremely harsh and the cleaning smells were overpowering at times.

Great location for airport and exploring Male. Good for solo traveller. Good rooftop restaurant.

+ I just needed one night in Male before getting my plane home. I was met at the airport and brought to the hotel in an air conditioned taxi. I was greeted warmly by the ladies at reception and offered a welcome drink while I checked in. My room was small but it had everything I needed - even a desk to work at and slippers by the bed. It was well appointed given the size. The small window looked towards the mosque. The rooftop restaurant, which is open to non residents, offered a large menu and a great view over the artificial beach. Ekata the waitress was very good. Breakfast was there too and was ample. I would definitely recommend staying here as it's close to the bridge to the airport but also for accessing Male. There are bigger rooms available for more people and a longer stay.

− There wasn't a kettle in the room - just a coffee maker. I couldn't see an easy way to make a cup of tea!

Excellent

+ Overall good stay, pickup and drop was well organised, reception and restaurant staff were very helpful and special thanks to Sana, Ekata, Elisa and Arjun

− Breakfast could have had little more healthy choices like full fruit, porridge, bag storage space is needed in the room, cupboard shelves were either too low or too high

SUMMER BEACH - GREAT PLACE TO STAY

+ Room was compact but ideal for solo traveller with a small bag. Room facilities were good. Hotel locaton was good. Airport pick-up and drop-off were flexible and very good. Quality of the restauant food was very good. Staff were ALL excellent. Great affordable alternative if you don't need a resort.

− Could do with a bath mat for the shower. The floor MAY get slippery.

Nice location
