I booked the room by seeing there offer of free pick & drop from airport ( Male). Also sightseeing was included in Agoda. But actually they charge $35 per person to reach by speedboat from male to Difushi. Over all the stay was good. Good breakfast options. Infront of the beautiful beach. For sightseeing they just take you around the Island (walk). So the Agoda offer was misleading. Overall my stay was good. Staff was good. Thank you

Introduction...the structure is currently different from many photos/videos that can be seen on the internet...the situation in Diffushi is that they are building new structures everywhere and one next to the Crown Beach...this has resulted in the reduction of the beach available and the demolition of the stone pier that can be seen in some images.
The structure is very simple, with quite large rooms and a comfortable bed, bathroom with shower without glass/curtains - we were in the room on the ground floor immediately next to the reception and a sea view - Sufficient but repetitive catering, for our taste it went well but if if you are looking for great fish dishes you might be disappointed...room NEVER cleaned and bed NEVER made in a week, we were looking for a cool environment but perhaps this was excessive. Courteous staff, perhaps a little improvised but certainly helpful.
The most important thing, the sea, is absolutely "Maldivian" level, a lagoon of crystal clear and warm water, white sand, what we love most... truly splendid.
The island is about 45 minutes by fast speedboat from the airport, it does not have many attractions, only a few evening walks along the main street but negligible.
If I had to give a rating, 2 max 3 stars for structure, food, organization but 5 stars for the sea, if you are looking for relaxation, sun and sea it is perfect or almost perfect, the rest is definitely up to taste....

We missed the ferry boat to the island and had to pay quite a large amount of money for a private speedboat - but then we got there! The hotel is ok. Nothing spectacular BUT they have some of the best staff you can ask for. They were extremely helpful, courteous and always willing to assist. The food is fine - again not spectacular but more than enough. Special mention that Aniel went absolutely out of his way to ensure a great stay! PS There is not a bar in this hotel... Some services are watered down due to covid.

Crown Beach was the one of the best place to stay in Dhifushi Island. Also affordable which makes it much better for budget travellers. Once you arrive they welcome you with a welcome drink and then explain you special plans for food (Half / Full Board)
We only bought for 3 days which we were staying initially, but we decided to extend our 3 days trip to 7 nights on same island as it was the best for relaxation, far away from city hustle and bustle. No many tourists, infact we were the only last couple apart from all foreigners on the Island and the resort.
As per our request the Hotel Staff and management arranged a special surprise of Room decoration especially for Honeymooners.
The Deluxe Beach Villa was a perfect location for it. You stay just 100 meters away from the entire sea.
The best view from the bedroom every morning.
Also the Staff and the Manager Mr Rashid personally took care of us and was present at the pickup location to welcome us.
The Shared speed boat transfers was arranged by the hotel with additional cost which also took our pain away to find it.
Best part is, you get 24hrs free coffee, just go and make it whenever you need from the common hall room.

If you want to get to know the local tradition and want to get the cheapest in a fantastic place, the location and accessibility are perfect, everything you need on the island is available, beach, palm forest, sharks, rajas in the evening in the water at the piers. You have to choose this kind team and perfect Hotel. The Hotel is good, the staff is good. The best beach of this hotel is in the area. Shops, kayak rental super. All dishes can be found in the Hotel’s menu. The snooker program is very good. I recommend this in every way. This is not the place for bungalows by hyper expensive. Here you will find the local lifestyle also. If you find some waste don’t be surprised. The locals don’t realize that. They have started to care about their diamond.

Amazing vacation
We’ve booked the private villa room which was right on the beach, by the way that’s the only hotel on the island that is on the beach, the rest are like across from the beach. Food was delicious!!! We took full base, so worth it. And the most important thing, ANIL! The GM of the hotel MADE our vacation! We booked with him every day a trip outside of the island, reasonable prices, private tours, private dinner on the beach, i think without him our vacation wasn’t enjoyable as it was! Staff at the hotel was extremely nice! Remembered every day what we like to eat or drink, it just feels cozy. On the island you can find a gift shop with huge variety of souvenirs so cheap!
Also you can find private beaches on the island just to yourself. Overall vacation was perfect, I highly recommend this place!

We booked for 5 nights but decided to cancel the last two. Why?

The smell from the bathroom of ground water was just unbearable. On the 2nd day we told the management and they said it was fixed to desalinated water. It wasnt.

They did not clean the room for two days, we had to request change of towels and the coffee in their bottle was stuck

Mr Vidad, the guest house manager is never to be found. He may appear in the evening if you are lucky.

He promised a refund of $424/- for the balance two nights and showed me a copy of a letter mailed to the bank to confirm he refunded the money.

One month later the bank has written to me that he never made the refund request. Therefore he lied.

Booking.com only passed messages between myself and Mr Vidad but never told him he must refund the money.

So they are not there to protect you in the event of a dispute.

I will never use them again.

The stay at the Crown Beach Hotel was a pleasant discovery for an authentic visit to the Maldives.

Hotel directly on a truly private beach on the island protected from winds and tourists (accessed only via reception). All the other hotels on the island have common beaches without protection from shadows or wind.

At Crown beach we stayed in the shade of beautiful palm trees on hotel loungers made available to everyone and had all our meals while looking at the beautiful Maldivian sea.

We recommend half board to be able to try other places even if the choice of food in general on the island is very limited due to logistical problems (only tuna, chicken and a few other ingredients really arrive). The cuisine is OK (the Chef knows how to cook, even pasta, but the choice is still limited to the few ingredients that arrive on the island). The service is quick (thanks Shamil, always with a smile!). Very basic breakfast.

We stayed in the sea view room (there are only two in the whole hotel) and everything was perfect: no insects, humidity or anything else. Very powerful air conditioner!!! The cleaning of the room must be requested with a little insistence, but once requested then they go to clean it.

Truly breathtaking excursion package proposed with Anil. Necessary things to do are: Coral Reef, Turtles, Sharks and visit to Asdhoo (which are the most beautiful excursions from Dhiffushi).

Flexibility and friendliness at the core, thanks to Rashid (hotel manager) for this.

Excellent transfer to and from the airport at 35USD/person/way even in case of bad weather (on our return we left with rough seas and rain and they gave us a much larger boat so as not to have any problems).

The island in general is a (fairly poor) fishermen's island, but simple and quiet. You clearly don't expect resorts and perfection on the beaches, which are still wonderful. The hotel beach (Sunset Beach) and the beach in front (Bibee beach, much more touristy) are highly recommended.

With a bit of adaptability and tranquility you can enjoy the real Maldives.

Thank you for this wonderful holiday!

We were in a Villa at the beach, clean room and comfortable bed, and the lovely views from the room, I booked with booking first but booking with them for the same price we had Full Pension and we were given snorkeling we paid another excursion elsewhere to see turtles and we did not see and in this free if we saw many colored fish, the boy got in and looked and found us a turtle... a nice chance, he got away from the boats that there were many people knew his sea well... We contracted with them the routes to the airport and they were punctual to pick us up and also to take us. And the food was a first and a second the drink all simple but well, there was local food and also very good pizza pasta. A highly recommended option if you are on this island.

We didn't stay in this hotel, we only came to eat in the restaurant. The food served here is terrible and extortionately overpriced. The mushroom soup ($7.50) is like warm milk with a few slices of mushroom, served in a tiny bowl, with no bread.
The chicken curry ($8.50) comes in a tiny soup bowl with only 4 small pieces of chicken, the sauce has little flavour and the plain white rice is cold.
The spaghetti bolognese is dry and tastes like warmed up leftovers.
We ordered a cup of tea with cold milk but only got the tea. After 5 minutes my wife went to find the waiter and he was in the lobby chatting to other staff. He laughed and bought the milk out.
This experience cost us $44.00 dollars, a complete rip-off! Disgusting!
