I had a fantastic stay at Crystal Sands in Maafushi. The location was perfect, just a minute's walk from the harbor, and the service was really good, with friendly staff who made me feel welcomed. While the food in the hotel restaurant was delicious and diverse, the lack of alcohol on the island was a bit of a downside, though the nearby beer boat was a fun alternative. Overall, I had an amazing time, and I'd love to return!
