- clarabU5903OR (10/5): Good lunch with good views and good people - The restaurant has a very nice view, the food was very good, the Hawaiian salad was delicious 🌺. The people from there always kind and friendly, specially thanks to Hashim and Mahamud.
- arminsI6957IS (10/5): A beautiful experience, wonderful island and exciting excursions - Neat, clean hotel with friendly and professional staff, I would especially single out Hashim, Ryad, Olly and Sultan.
- 61addac (10/5): BEST PEOPLE - I met some of the lovliest and hardest working people and most pleasent ones especially: Rijaad from the beach, Hashim from the bar, Sultan room service and Anju from the restaurant! Love themmmmm! We will be back.
- 850naidab (10/5): The experience was wonderful, as was the staff I mentioned. - I had a wonderful experience, and I would especially like to praise the staff Riad, Hasim, Anju, and Sultan.

- alpercany2024 (10/5): Wery good restoran - Wery good restoran Wery good personel and HasHim
- chyr2026 (2/5): VISIT THIS RACIST HOTEL ONLY IF YOU ARE WHITE - Stayed at Arena Beach Hotel recently and it was a terrible experience. The staff attitude is the worst part. There is a clear bias in how guests are treated. South Asian guests get poor service while white guests are treated much better. The difference is obvious. At breakfast, staff would specifically come and ask room numbers from South Asian guests while ignoring white guests completely. That kind of selective behavior is uncomfortable and unacceptable. I arrived injured and requested an early check-in, but the manager Adriano was rude and completely dismissive. No empathy, no professionalism. If you do not buy their excursion packages, expect even worse treatment. They clearly prioritize money over basic respect. Reception was also unhelpful. I asked for a lower floor but was given the top floor instead, and when I questioned it, they argued instead of fixing it. Overall, very unprofessional and uncomfortable stay. Would not recommend.
- 01asr (10/5): Beautiful island hotel. - Amazing Stay at Arena Beach Hotel Beautiful beach vibes with a clean, hotel-allocated beach front long beach with refreshing dring service.and an infinity pool with stunning sunset views. Rooms are clean with sea view,with basic amenities with daily water, tea/coffee, and towels are provided.Special thanks to Abishek from HK he was very attentive he acknowledges my request and resolved very quickly as my bathroom faucet was leaking. Food & Drinks: Wide buffet & à la carte options at affordable prices, with non-alcoholic beverages. Dinner with live music made evenings extra special. Sisha option was also a alternative choice as island not serving alcohol. Breakfast buffet was good healthy choice with friendly service staff specially Hasan ali (friendly and professional man) Abash attentive and prompt service.Hasim/mahmood and one indian lady from Lucknow( good recommendation and suggestive selling ) Nightlife & Activities: Relaxing and charming nightlife. Night vibes was really amazing dining ambience is same as five star resort level. Water sports like stingrays and sharks snorkelling and Sandbank full days tours were unforgettable. Reservations cheking and checkout processes was little tired For guests on long journeys who arrive early at the airport (e.g., 9:00 AM) but have transfers to the island only at 13:00, consider providing alternative options such as a comfortable lounge, refreshments, or earlier boat transfers. Waiting 4+ hours after a long 9-hour flight can be tiring, so small adjustments would greatly improve guest experience. Special thanks to BERLIN as he is only senior label staff who always asked feedback with friendly manner and engage to guest relation service.provided all the information needed about our stay including chekin check out process make everything smooth and easy. Value for money: Excellent. A beautiful island stay you won’t forget!
- 441airaa (10/5): Awesomeeee place - I went to eat at restaurant infront of the hotel with my friends they have this lovely staff Hashim and Arpita their service is top tier. Looking foward to come here again and hope to see them again!
- Inspire37854163774 (10/5): Best service - Had the best stay with Arena Hotel. The hotel services as well as the restaurant services were tiptop. Hashim and Arpita gave us warm and friendly interaction during the whole time we were at their restaurant.
- 815yunc (10/5): Wonderful Experience - Great service from Hashim! Also great drinks and shisha here Definitely come and visit again
- isharad954 (10/5): Amazing stay with stunning views! - I had a wonderful time at Arena Beach Hotel. The location is absolutely perfect—right on the beach with crystal-clear water just a few steps away. My room was modern, clean, and offered a breathtaking view of the ocean. The restaurant deserves a special mention as well. The food was delicious, with a great variety of dishes to choose from every day. What truly made my stay memorable was the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, helpful, and always greeted me with a smile. If you are looking for a relaxing getaway with great service and excellent food, I highly recommend Arena Beach Hotel!
- simonapM7051VR (10/5): Hashim is the best waiter!!! - I have a very good expertience at this hotel. Peaple are very friendly!
- danialakmald (10/5): view is good hotel so best snowkeling see the while shark and clening 5 star and the bahdur is so good - view is good hotel so best snowkeling see the while shark and clening 5 star and the bahdur is so good
- O5661PSjasong (10/5): Surf and Turf in Paradise - Loved the beachside restaurant and hospitality. Hashim and Mahamud were noth awesome! Great food and views.
- 773danced (10/5): Danche Danovska - We had an amazing experience at Arena Beach Restaurant! 🌊✨ The place itself is beautiful, with a stunning view, delicious food, and a very relaxing atmosphere. But what truly made our visit unforgettable was the service. A very special thank you to Nasir Riyat – an incredibly kind, friendly, and always smiling young man who made us feel welcome and special throughout our entire stay. It’s rare to meet someone so professional, yet so genuinely warm and positive. He truly deserves recognition for his outstanding work! If you’re visiting Maafushi, this place is a must – and if you’re lucky enough to be served by Nasir, your experience will be even more memorable! 🙌💙
- 488dimitarm (10/5): Best - The organization at the hotel was perfect, the organization of the restaurant and the entire beach was in the hands of Nasir Riyad. This guy is a unique professional and extremely hardworking !!
- konniphat (8/5): Excellent Service to Hashim - We had an absolutely fantastic time, and we have to give a huge shoutout to our waiter, Hashim! He is truly brilliant and made our experience so memorable. You can immediately tell he has a very strong, service-minded attitude, he is attentive, genuinely warm, and anticipates your needs before you even have to ask. Hashim really elevated our visit. Highly recommend asking for him!
- herbert567890 (6/5): Solid hotel, very nice beach access - Positive: Solid hotel; very nice beach; snorkeling directly from the beach; close to stores and restaurants and shops; many staff that are generally helpful and friendly; reasonable price considering the location; nice day trip and water sport options closeby; Negative: incredibly loud music playing on the beach until after 11 on many evenings; impossible to sleep before the music stops; breakfast is solid, but more appropriate for an international 3 star restaurant. As a side note: food is a general problem around the island; many restaurants on the island have an extensive menu to cook the food of multiple nationalities, so many dishes are not cooked fresh;
- F648TUmariai (10/5): Great experience!! - Really nice experience, everything is great, food is amazing quality and Abbas who served us made sure to make our experience really memorable! Amazing customer service!!
- 363elvisp (10/5): Best trip of my life! - We had a beautiful time in Arena Beach. I went with my girlfriend and we got married there. Hashim (employee) helped us with everything so the organizational part went very smoothly. The hotel is located on th beach, its very clean and they change towels every single day. Two pools are available, food is delicious and all the events they organize are awesome. I really enjoyed my time and all related to this trip is awesome (excursions etc.). Love it!!!
- weichuanl2026 (10/5): Nearby beautiful beach, room is clean and spacious, Bahadur and Sharif are friendly and good service - Nearby beautiful beach, room is clean and spacious, Bahadur and Sharif are friendly and good service

- rubenesk (10/5): Pleasant stay - My wife and I recently stayed at Arena Beach Hotel for our honeymoon, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The hospitality really stood out the moment we arrived. The receptionist welcomed us warmly and made the check-in process smooth and pleasant, which was a great start to our stay. A special mention goes to Ripon, the bellboy, who was incredibly attentive and friendly throughout our time there. He was always ready to help with a smile and made us feel genuinely cared for. Small gestures like that made our honeymoon feel even more special. The overall atmosphere of the hotel was relaxing, and the team’s service made our stay memorable. It was the perfect place for us to enjoy some quiet time together and celebrate the start of our new chapter. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Maldives, especially couples looking for a warm and welcoming place to stay.
- 953antonelab (10/5): Wonderful experience - The hotel staff were extremely kind, friendly, and professional. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel welcome and comfortable. Their helpful attitude and warm smiles truly made our stay even more enjoyable. It is clear that they genuinely care about their guests. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality – we would be happy to return again! 😊

- 833yifanc (10/5): service good .water enough.Bahadur is nice - service good .water enough.Bahadur is nice
- M9142SFjohnb (2/5): Full board con and mite infested - I've only been here 1 day and I'm disgusted that this is a 4 star hotel. Me and my wife went full board, the red flags started when we were told soft drinks are not included in this package, when getting lunch at the beach bar we were given a separate more basic set menu to order from as opposed to the bars normal menu, most of the island looks to be under construction, to top it off when we arrived to our room the walls are so thin you can hear conversations next door. The final straw was noticing the entire room looks to be infested with mites, I took this complaint to reception where I was told there was nothing they could do to change rooms at "our category" meaning not even an upgrade for the inconvenience and certainly no different room, I'm horrified at the state of the hotel and staff services avoid at all costs.
- Dreamer46848531452 (10/5): Honeymoon stay - The hotel was superb and services were great. Morning breakfast had many options and inhouse sea activities was with discount. Recommend. Was there go honeymoon and the candlelight diner and room decorated well. Thanks to MR.Rybon for the great service.

- Brankonymous (10/5): Mothi was great - Mothi was an awesome room boy. Everything was clean and fresh each day in the room. Water always filled. Room was always in fantastic shape.
- I3972TAdamiand (10/5): Review - Hotel Arena exceeded all our expectations. We had a beautiful room with an ocean view, and it was cleaned several times a day – which honestly surprised us in the best way! When there was an issue with the photos from one of the excursions, our friend was offered the trip again free of charge. That’s truly amazing hotel policy and exactly why we’ll definitely be coming back. Big applause to you! The food was delicious – absolutely nothing to complain about. We also have to mention an exceptional waiter, Hashim. We wish every hotel had someone like him! Not only was the service fantastic, but he’s also an incredibly kind, helpful and genuinely wonderful person. Thank you for the great, relaxed conversations about the Maldives and Bangladesh. We travel a lot, but we’ve honestly never met anyone like him – so passionate and dedicated to his job. We need more people like this in the world! People like him should be hotel managers! Thanks for everything!
- FrequentFlier590291 (10/5): T - super place, super restaurant and the service is exceptional, thanks to Hasim

- B409IRts (10/5): Amazing Experience at This Wonderful Hotel! - Out stay at this hotel was simply exceptional from start to finish! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the rooms are spotless and beautifully maintained, and the overall experience exceeded all our expectations. Every little detail is taken care of — from the delicious breakfast to the relaxing ambiance throughout the property. A special mention must go to Ashik, who truly made our stay unforgettable. He is incredibly kind, professional, and always willing to go the extra mile to help. Ashik’s friendly attitude and genuine care made a huge difference. He turned a great stay into something truly memorable! I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone. Thanks to the wonderful staff and especially to Ashik for making us feel so welcome — We can’t wait to come back!
- 143mindaugasl (10/5): Good pick for stay - Probably the best location on the island. Next to bikini beach. Good WiFi, friendly staff, quite clean, has pools. Breakfast and dinner was not as good as it could be though. Not sure what food other places offer.
- mihajlom692 (10/5): Hello from Belgrade, Serbia - Everything was excellent. Hotel and servis was good. All people on the island are very nice. I would especially praise Hassim.
- FarAway24907493624 (2/5): Terrible staff - Terrible staff that won't admit their own mistakes and argue for an hour over a small problem that could be fixed in 5 minutes. Indian staff can't understand requests made in English then cause problems with their attitude and terrible manners.
- 139wongs (10/5): tremendous - place is awesome and services also amazing, suhag clean very tidy our room. we will come back soon
- G1803XNnikolam (10/5): The best experience ever - Very comfy rooms, we had a room with a seaside view and it was marvelous. Bathroom was big, enough for two people. Everything was clean, and the staff was very very kind. Everyone was smiling and eager to help with anything we needed. People here really love their jobs. If we ever come here again, we are coming to this hotel again for sure. Beach is right in front of the hotel, and it is beautiful.
- 69lesleyw (6/5): Not the idea of the Maldives - Upon arrival and reception, we were given a lovely upgrade from the standard room to a family room with a balcony and sea view so definitely no complaints Upon closer inspection, the toilet seat was broken and the TV did not work The buffet left a lot to be desired as it was not kept in a desirable condition which I know is other guests fault but no staff are coming around to clear up Also, when guests left a table before another guest could sit down staff would come along and use the dirty napkin left from the previous guest to wipe the table down and flick the bits on the floor Not once did we see cleaning spray used in the buffet We were charged three visits to the buffet for the evening meal when we only went in to look at what was being served and came straight back out once and there was only two of us which took a little bit of sorting out but eventually got wiped off In the foyer of our hotel, there was a toilet that was for guests use only but you saw plenty of stuff using it and the smell was awful They had a band outside two nights running until 11 o’clock at night, which was way too loud and way too Basey on the drum and neither singers could sing a note……… that was painful to listen to and it was way too close to the building. It actually made the windows shake.
- xiangl0ngx (10/5): An amazing hotel！ - We had an unforgettable stay at Arena Beach Hotel on Maafushi Island. The location is fantastic, just steps from the beach with beautiful views. The rooms are clean, cozy and well-kept. The staff is warm and professional, especially Rajib, who was extremely helpful, polite and attentive throughout our trip. He went out of his way to assist us with everything we needed. The service was excellent, the food was great, and the whole experience was perfect. We highly recommend this hotel and can’t wait to come back!

- sancharib2026 (10/5): Amazing stay - We had an absolutely amazing experience at Arena Beach Hotel, Maafushi. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel very welcome. Everyone was extremely helpful, polite, and supportive throughout our stay. The breakfast was fantastic with so many options, and everything tasted great. One special thing we really appreciated was the care shown by the hotel staff specially Mr.Isacc when my partner fell sick during the trip. They were constantly checking on her, guiding us properly, and making sure she was okay. That level of care truly touched our hearts. Overall, everything was perfect—from service to food to hospitality. We felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. We will definitely come back to Arena Beach Hotel again. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Maafushi!

- davorb544 (10/5): Exp - Hotel, staff, restaurant was amazing. Hotel was very nice and clean thanks to Sultan who keeped our room clean every day. He even suprised us with heart on our bed, it was very cute and very nice gesture. All the staff was very kind and understanding. They keep everything under control and informed us on everthing we asked for. Food in restaurant was excellent, with wide selection of dishes for everyone. I would especially like to highlight the waiters Hashim and Rijad. They were incredibly friendly, hardworking, and full of positive energy. They joked with us, made us feel very welcome, and took the time to explain everything clearly. Their great attitude and professionalism really made our experience even better. Highly appreciated! 10/10 for everything! 😊

- gordano2026 (4/5): Hotel Arena - This is my second year staying at Hotel Arena. During my first stay, I was accommodated in the main building facing west, and everything was absolutely perfect. That experience is the reason I decided to return. Unfortunately, this year I am staying in the smaller building on the east side, with a direct view of a construction site. The noise starts at 8 a.m. and often lasts until late in the evening, which significantly affects the overall comfort of the stay. I personally work in the management of a hotel group operating 4- and 5-star hotels, and from a professional point of view, I would never offer or sell a room with such a view and noise exposure. In my experience, assigning guests to rooms facing a construction site causes more damage to guest satisfaction and the hotel’s reputation than any potential short-term benefit. That said, my highest praise goes to the hotel staff. The employees are extremely polite, kind, and professional. A special mention goes to the waiter Hasim, who truly stands out with his attitude and service. He is the kind of employee that European recruiters would hire immediately without hesitation.
