The room is a one star at the most. The sink in the bathroom was leaking. The fan was working with high speed and wouldn't change. The bed was of very low quality with the pillows having some funky smell. The only positive thing is the kindness of the people working there. I will not go back.

Stay at Crystal
The hotel is conveniently located ; the manager - Jack is very helpful . Staff like Imon; Murtaza Hossain ; Rabbi ; Jerry are excellent. Food is ordinary and there are options around; so don't go for an all inclusive . We had booked in a Beach View room; but there was no water in the toilet in it (106 ). When complained , the receptionist offered to give a down graded room stating no other BW rooms are available.. that was very disappointing and I asked them to refund my money .. Jak intervened and gave us an upgraded room - Ocean View - much appreciated. Infact dont book a BV ...its dingy ; if you are looking for one might as well go for OV

Good hotel for vacation
The hotel is ok for the price. The service is not awesome, but not mediocre either. It's clean and room service is available whenever you need it. The manager Jack was really awesome. He provided us with an awesome experience. He even let us check in at 12:00 am. He is really what a manager should be. Definitely visit here if you are taking a vacation. it will be worth it. Thanks Jack!!!

We stayed at Crystal Sands, Mafushi for 11 days and we enjoyed every minute of it. The service from every single person we encountered at CS was impeccable! Everyone was so friendly and accommodating - they truly made us feel like we were at home. Mohammed, Roshan, Jack, Iman have been gems; From organising special dinners to telling us local restaurants, they ensured our every need was catered to and more. We can’t wait to go back! If your expectation is a small boutique hotel and your aim is absolute service, this is the hotel for you! We can’t recommend it highly enough. I have stayed at many five star hotels like the Hilton, Grosvenor House, Sheraton etc but what makes CS different is flexibility and service. Thank you SO much to all the staff at Crystal Sands, you truly made our holiday one to remember.

Nemo, Seattle, WA

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
I love the fact the hotel is solar powered and only 4 years old since it was built. Maafushi is a small island so everything is within a walkable distance. The hotel itself is very close to the boat drop off point. Jack who is the manager at the hotel is very welcoming and very easy to talk to. He will give you the best recommendation. The bed was very comfortable and the room was very neat. Unfortunately the room we stayed at had a AC problem and our room never cooled off as we wished. The staff tried to fix it and they responded very quickly to the problem. We just dealt with it because we only stayed for two nights. Overall I definitely recommend this place. It's quite, clean and everyone is very nice! I would love to come back to this place.

Relaxed and friendly Island paradise
We spent 3 days at Crystal Sands on our way home after a month travelling and really appreciated the relaxed friendly atmosphere at this small hotel. The room was a bit small for 3 but we loved the balcony overlooking the water and being only across the road from the harbour and 2 min from the small sheltered beach made it the perfect location for day tripping as well as relaxing on the island. This is not the island for you if you want gourmet dining but we ate fresh seafood by candlelight on the beach and there are many local restaurants to choose from and several small supermarkets for everyday purchases as well as trinkets and souvenirs . Day tripping is easy with us choosing the hotel options as they were well priced and convenient. Staying on Malfoushi is a good way to support the local economy and get an idea how locals inthe Maldives spend the day. It is a beautiful place and well worth the visit even on a budget.
