"This is the fourth hotel I've stayed at in the Maldives, in Male! I took a speedboat from Dhangethi Island and checked in at the Male jetty. Before check-in, I emailed the hotel, requesting they pick us up at the Male jetty. However, no one showed up after we got off the speedboat. Instead, a fake local tour guide, a black man, intercepted us. Initially, he misled us, saying our hotel was in Hulhumale and asking us to take a $20 taxi to get there. I wasn't used to using Amap, so I almost fell for it! I later had the black man call the hotel to confirm the hotel's location. He then demanded a $20 guide fee to take us to the hotel, which I refused. Later, he negotiated it down to $10, assuming it included the taxi fare. However, we still had to pay for the taxi! Because the hotel didn't read the email and didn't pick us up at the jetty, we were ripped off by the black man! Upon arrival at the hotel, we were greeted with a delicious welcome drink. The hotel is very new, having just opened this year. I booked a king-size room, but the front desk assigned us a standard room with two small beds joined together. The room was brand new, but there were two power outages at night. I booked a car to take us to the airport the following afternoon, and the hotel charged $10, which was fine. They also let us check out at 2 p.m., which was fine! Well, the sea in Male' isn't as beautiful as the one in Hulhumale'... maybe because it's the capital... The food prices are okay... This hotel is a good place to stay at the airport, not for long-term travel... The price doesn't include breakfast, which is nice, but it doesn't include free airport transfers... So you have to consider it on your own... A Chinese couple recommended this place to us at the Hilton Laguna... The front desk service after check-in was good... The airport pick-up, room arrangements, and the sudden power outage at night were a bit troublesome... Other than that, it's very good... brand new."
