It is not easy to meet a host who truly cares about his guests while traveling. Shafeeq, the owner of this hotel, was one of those people. I will never forget the kindness he showed us. Hope we could go back to Maafushi in not too distant future and definitely we’re going to stay in this hotel.
Thank you so much sir and ma'am. I never forget about those days in Maldives. As solo traveler, I was worried about it. But helped me a lot and so great time.
