I had a fantastic experience at Maalu Maalu Resort and Spa, where the warm welcome set the tone for our stay. The clean beach with soft white sand and delicious seafood made our vacation memorable. However, I did notice that the buffet had limited choices during peak hours, and the panoramic suites didn’t all offer great views. Overall, it's a charming spot with excellent staff but could improve in certain areas.

My stay at Maalu Maalu was nothing short of fantastic! The hotel offers an extremely welcoming atmosphere with unique touches like flower garlands upon arrival. The overall ambiance, combined with luxurious facilities and a beautiful beach, made it a dream getaway. While I had a wonderful experience, the only downside was the waiting time for check-in due to full occupancy, but it was managed well with a lovely lunch while we waited.

I had an amazing time at Maalu Maalu! The hotel is beautifully located by the beach and has a cozy, intimate vibe. The staff went above and beyond to make our bachelorette celebration unforgettable, but initially, the service on a busy weekend left something to be desired. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the view from the pool was absolutely stunning. Overall, it’s a memorable place, but a few minor issues with service during peak times could be improved.

I had an incredible experience at the hotel, with a warm welcome and exceptional service throughout my stay. The food was delicious, especially the special dish they prepared for me when my lunch wasn’t quite right. The relaxing spa added to the overall enjoyment. On the downside, the rooms, while spacious, could definitely use a bit of modernization.
