Maldives Islamic Centre

I couldn't wait to write a review for this place and writing this on my way to Airport. If you are thinking to visit Maldives, Please don't waste your money on expensive resorts. You will get same level of comfort, scenic, ocean view room, service, food options here at Huraa island in Kanbo Rani hotel. Hotel representative picked us up from airport. Took us to a nice ocean front restaurant for breakfast and then boarded us on the speed boat to Huraa We got a warm welcome with drink at the hotel and our vacation began. I had a ocean view room which is more spacious than my own flat's bedroom. Its clean and clear. Room had awesome view of infront trees and sea green water. Breakfast is plentiful. Owner Abdullah Sir, Manager Mirza sir were super helpful. Its Mirza sir for whom we were able to go snorkelling. Special thanks to you. All the service was also awesome. They gave attention just as much as it is required. We were also invited for a very beautiful decorated outdoor dinner. Besides the hotel, Huraa Island is very small, quiet and beautiful island. It takes all kind of payments like USD, MVR, VISA Cards. To summarise Kanbo Rani hotel made our Maldives visit memorable, and we could not thank them enough for that. I recommend Huraa and Kanbo Rani Hotel.

“Pleasant Stay.” Positive Points: 1. Amazing view from the balcony (top floor). 2. Wonderful location (travel-friendly crowd). 3. ⁠Staffs of the restaurant were well-trained. Negative Points: 1. The difference of the room rate from one website to another (or direct rate from the property) is huge. 2. ⁠Staffs of the reception should be professional.

I’ve traveled to several different countries as a solo traveler, and I had higher expectations for Maldives. The service was decent. Some of the excursions were a little overpriced. There was a dirty mop smell near entrance where the mini bar was located. I thought housekeeping would have done something about the smell considering it was very strong. The chef at Tex Mex during the morning shift makes great food according to the menu. When I went back in the evening on my last day to purchase the same meal, the Nachos were completely different from what I had in the morning and it was difficult for me to finish the food (didn’t want to waste it). I did inform two staff members at the restaurant and the waiter asked if I wanted another one and I told her it would still come out the same because of the chef who’s cooking the meal. So all in all I paid for a meal I didn’t enjoy. This was the case for the items in the mini freezer, when I arrived I was told that the drinks in the freezer were complementary. When I went to grab a drink that turned out to be alcohol, I took a sip and it wasn’t good so I disposed the rest of the drink and I told the housekeeper this and I was still charged. In that same freezer I found something that appeared to look like mold on two of the alcohol bottles, and that could have contributed to the dirty mop smell I smelled around that area. I wasn’t aware that I was suppose to get VIP amenities during my stay, it sure didn’t feel like a VIP stay.
