This is an ideal island to spend a night or two but not a two week holiday , there is very little to do and the water is so shallow around the island it is hard to swim above the coral , there is also almost no available beach

1-night trip

8/10

Everything and everyone there were super helpful and polite. My biggest objection and draw back is the beach service which DOES NOT EXIST! There are no towels offered at the beach you bring the ones provided in your room, there are no pads on the beach loungers, glasses and garbage simply accumulate on the small tables until you remove them! Food was good, room was comfortable, BUT Maldives with lousy beach service is no Maldives!!

Very kind staff. Good breakfast. Nice beaches and sea. Tours are a bit expensive like in other hotels in Maldives. Foods are also expensive as other hotels, better to come as full board. Overall a good experience.

The beach was beautiful and the room was nice. The staff let you seek them out if you needed anything, which may have been intentional to allow quiet and privacy but we were expecting more of a luxury resort atmosphere. It was more of a secluded island get away.very hot and expensive.The staff was kind and helpful when we asked for anything.

We’ve found the front desk customer service was very poor as our booking was included free transfers from Male but not with Expedia Booking according to them even though it’s in our bookings. That’s already ruined our start of the vacation. Then on check out they wanted to charge the Pringle chip which we didn’t even have them. I believe one of their stuff ate them cuz the house keeping guy asked us to leaving our room door open for cleaning, so anyone can go into our room. However the Malaga team did a good job from kitchen to the servers, Anil, Eni, Amaya, anesa,Salina, Supun & Juman. The buffet food was very well prepared & taste so good unless most of other buffet food either being too salty or too sweet. Not sure why it was being advertised newly renovated cuz one night I needed to carry an umbrella going to the bathroom. I almost fell down due to the floor was very slippery. Finally we got to moved to another room. We’ve tried not to have this negativity to affect the rest of our experience in Maldives. We are island hopping for 3 weeks. This is our first island. The beach was too rocky & stepping into water the smell of sewage to make unbearable to stay too long. The video with white sand blue water are not quite true though. We were very disappointed! I will give Malahini 0 star without Malaga Team.

Nice resort, big, clean and very comfy rooms. Beach chairs are quite hard, it would be good if they had some cushions. Very convenient to travel from/to Male airport. Buffet food is nice but a bit bland, not much fish or local food. Very good vegetarian options. Beach is ok, water can get a bit murky at times and there are lots of rocks so beach shoes are recommended.

The best part of this resort, asides from the per beauty of the island is the people that work there. From Imthyaz, Vanesa, Eni, the Marine Hub Crew, they make you feel so welcomed and are so kind. This time, I also enjoyed the excursions, the food is amazing. I'll keep coming back to Malahini.
