Madi Grand Maldives

Before coming, I compared many options and saw mixed reviews for Madi on Xiaohongshu. However, after experiencing it myself, I found the overall impression to be quite good. The location is somewhat central on the island, so there's no prayer call noise. The cleanliness is also okay, and the basic facilities are decent. The butler was very humorous and witty.

While centrally located on the island, it's incredibly convenient to reach both beaches. It's just a few minutes' walk from the jetty, and if you arrange it in advance, they'll provide a pick-up service. On the nearby beaches, you can have amazing close encounters with stingrays and nurse sharks. The guesthouse is spotlessly clean, and guests are asked to leave their shoes downstairs. The Wi-Fi signal in the rooms was also excellent. Our booking included full board (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). The food they served was delicious; while the variety wasn't huge, the portions were always generous. The service from front desk staff Shariq and restaurant attendant Susmita was truly exceptional. I wholeheartedly recommend Madi Grand Maldives. For excursions, book directly with Shariq; the small group sizes mean you'll have a much more fulfilling experience.

The hotel is spotlessly clean, and their on-site restaurant offers excellent value for money. While the airport and resort islands are quite expensive, the beach right here is just as beautiful as those on the resorts. If I had more time, I would absolutely stay for a whole month. Honestly, I even think the evening beach vibe here is better than what you'd experience at the resorts.

Our room comfortably accommodated two adults and two children, although there was an additional charge for the kids. The hotel service was excellent. Even though our children weren't paying for meals, they were still given very generous portions and were made to feel included at mealtimes. The hotel's food is genuinely delicious, ranking among the best on the island. The à la carte options were also great, and the prices were very reasonable. Highly recommended!
