A very nice boutique hotel, just across from the beach. The room was small, but livable, bed was comfy, AC and WiFi worked well. Nice rooftop area (with food brought up from the restaurant downstairs). Good breakfast buffet, and a decent menu for lunch and dinner. The staff were excellent! They were very responsive, helpful, and friendly. I enjoyed my time there, and would stay there again.

Hard beds, but a great little hotel!
On first appearance we didnt love this hotel. The bed is HARD - so hard we thought it was just a base. The bathroom is very average. But! We really enjoyed the restaurant- very slow, but great service and food is amazing. Its not in the best location, but you cant deny the lovely beach view.

A nice little hotel to stay for a night. Don't use the minibar! They charged 3 USD for a tiny package of chips. If it wasn't for this, I would have rated it 5 stars...

There is construction going all around the hotel. There are hammering and drilling noises all day long. We were unable to rest. The room itself is dilapidated. The balcony in the room facing the alley in the back of the building is a joke. Stay away from this hotel!

This was a one night stay because the airlines canceled our departure flight - we had already been in the Maldives for 2 weeks. Hotel in a great location right across from the beach and surrounded by many restaurants and cafes. Red Snapper & Coffee Bean is good and right at the hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable.

They change hotel on us. We book for Huvan but was transfer to the Coral beach hotel as it was newer. The window leak when it rains, construction was going on next to building. The roof top restaurant was above us, they were nosy and the food smell would come into the room through the air conditioner.

The hotel was clean, beautiful , the staff particularly Ansar , executive staff person and Amy , GRO , were always available to answer questions about surroundings, getting anywhere and amenities needed that were related to the stay. The staff were knowledgeable, easy to communicate with in English and ready to be helpful in any way to enjoy my stay in Male at the hotel . It couldn’t have been easier after a long 30 hour flight plan to rest comfortably and safely across from the beach in a lively location .

I had a last minute seaplane flight arrangement. Got notified around 9:50am about my new seaplane schedule. The hotel was able to get me checked out, loaded my luggages to their van and transported me to Airport within 20 minutes. So I was able to checked in to morning seaplane flight at 10:15am. Much appreciated!!!
