Great experience with Pelican beach. Facilities are generic and do not expect too much. You get what you pay for. The owner is nice and guides you well. The property is located on the calmer side of the island. Room was basic.

Pelican Beach Maafushi averages 4.3 out of 5 across 60 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
We booked 1st week of May 2025. Paid to date of May 29. We arrived at Guesthouse June 4 and one of the staff called that they were cancelled our 2 rooms booked and the money we paid would be refunded within two weeks. Imagine, we booked early and paid before due date then the staff told to cancel the rooms -_- How can we managed to book another hotel rooms. It's fully booked that day. One thing, if you can't be kind to your customers at least be kind to your staff. We saw two of your staff sleeping outside, in the customer dining area. There were no mattress. 4 stars for the 2 staff they were so kind and hospitable. I wouldn't recommend this Guesthouse.
