Nice hotel with transfer to the airport
Pros:

Fantastic hotel to spend a few days in Malé. Very clean. Very friendly staff: receptionists, housekeeping, waiters... We had dinner at the rooftop restaurant: wonderful views, great food, and exceptional value for money. The waiter who served us (I'm sorry, I don't remember your name, only that you were from Sri Lanka) was super attentive and understanding, as we were traveling with a 19-month-old baby. 100% recommended.

For us, listening to the call to prayer from the nearby mosque wasn't a problem at all, since it barely lasted about 15 minutes. One must know what country they are visiting and respect the culture.

Cons:

My husband is gluten-intolerant, and it's true that we missed having more gluten-free options at breakfast.

Samann Grand
Pros:

Very friendly staff (Charan helped us). We had dinner as well, nice restaurant with lots of choices. Breakfast was good as well. It is quite loud, as it’s also next to 2 Mosques, so best to brink some earplugs for your sleep.
