Kaani Grand Seaview

Mandatory New Year's Eve dinner for 90 USD. Hotel guests were offered a mandatory New Year's Eve dinner, a party with a band and a DJ. The dinner with all the entertainment was supposed to be private for hotel guests. At 9:00 PM, the dinner was interrupted and the tables were cleared. The party area was opened to everyone and a DJ came on stage. The private party became a party for employees and locals, at the expense of paying guests, who were supposed to get exclusive entertainment for 90.00 USD. Again, participation and payment for the New Year's Eve party was mandatory for hotel guests. Other people, locals and hotel employees had the party for free, at the expense of our payment. The bracelets that were given to us before dinner, for participating in the party, were suddenly no longer needed. Payment at the hotel is only possible in USD and not in local currency.

I have been there for few days. Most of staff are very helpful. You can book one day trip tour directly from the hotel. I booked a family room. The room was quite spacious. Best location in Maafushi

The hotel is in a nice location, right next to the beach so that’s a plus. - Daily service was great - Reception was ok, lots to improve. Starting by how difficult was to book the transfers, I tried calling multiple times on different days and different times and never got an answer, I would like to think I had the wrong number (google maps). Island tour on arrival it wasn’t given as an option as we were tired, we would’ve liked to decline it. We arrive before the standard check-in time so we understand if we can’t check in until the standard time. We were in the lobby for more than 10mins and we didn’t know if we had to wait 10 more mins or 2 more hours, we weren’t given a time to go to the room until we asked. Therefore we when grab a bite and came back later to go to the room (all this didn’t make my trip any less better but could be avoided in future). Front office team was great and attentive as they always smiled and greeted us, and asked if help was need it. - Restaurant was ok, food wasn’t the best and not to mention that the pizza is not made there. Breakfast options weren’t too many and lack some taste, some of the pastries were definitely made a few days back as they weren’t good at all. The omelettes were pretty good. The staff was very nice and polite in every interaction. - Room is nice and clean and very spacious with great view. The amenities in the room are almost none. It would be nice to have some minibar with drinks and snacks. Bathroom amenities were poor as well, no shower cap, no cotton buds, no dental kit. I also inquired a higher room category for better comfort but I was told there wasn’t any. Unsure if there wasn’t any other category available or I was at the highest. Very nice hotel and very nice people working there but lacking little things that make huge difference.

I had a good stay at Kaani grand seaview. The hotel is perfectly located, right on the beach. The staff is very friendly and helpful, but they could be better at communicating which facilities we have access to. On check-in I was told I could use the pool at Kaani palm hotel, but we I wanted to go I was told I couldn't use it. I was also told I could use the spa to shower since I had a late flight, but on the day I was told that I had to book a treatment to use the spa's shower. A part from that the room was comfortable and had a food view. The only thing is that the bathroom had a very bad urine smell. My overall experience was good and would stay here again.

Maldives win my heart because of the memorable moment that Kaani give to us. 1st staff : Suman was the 1st person i contact thru whatsapp. She very considerate and help me with the check in. Checkin were very smooth that day. 2nd staff : We had our warm welcome by Tiger at the jetty and he brought us to the hotel. He is very friendly and cheerfull and helps us alot with the activity that we can do during our stay. We choose kaani tour for our shark tour ( of course with a very good price). 3rd staff : Dipya, she was handling F&B, very lovely and soft person. Our breakfast/ dinner time was enjoyable with her around. Very clean hotel. Nice food . Will come again. Thank you 🤍

People are nice.The room is big and neat.I will reserve this hotel next time.
