Siraajudheen Mosque

The staff is very hospitable! I was iffy going into this since there isn’t much online about the hotel or what’s going on in the island. You typically only see the luxury resorts for Maldives but staying local was a great way to save some money and still have access to tours to explore the surrounding area and even visit a resort to get a touch of the experience. The island is still developing for tourists but Kaani was great with making the experience pleasant. There are plenty of restaurants to eat at in the area and Kaani had a great restaurant and dining included in the stay. They have three properties right next to each other so you’ll use the dining facilities and spa in the other hotels too. Bikini beach is right in front of the hotel as well. The locals are so kind!

Hotel was near to the beach

The staff were exceptionally helpful and welcoming, and I found the lobby both spacious and comfortable. However, the hotel uses a very strong air freshener with a scent that I found quite bothersome. While our standard room (606) was small, it remained cozy. That said, the bathroom was very cramped, and some of the fixtures did not work properly. The breakfast was adequate, but quality could be better.
