This was my fourth visit to the Maldives, and I stayed at Kudafushi, which was advertised as a 5-star hotel online but in reality felt more like a 4-star in terms of service, hospitality, arrangement, and food. Unfortunately, our experience was marred by the unpleasant attitude of a representative named Cathy, who was the rudest and least helpful staff member we have encountered in all our trips to the Maldives. Our departure flight was scheduled for 11:00 PM, but we were given the latest domestic flight at 6:00 PM on the deserted island of the domestic airport. The hotel informed us the night before that we had to check out early at 10:00 AM and leave the hotel at 10:30 AM due to rough sea conditions. We were disappointed by this sudden change and asked if we could leave later, but Cathy's response was dismissive and unapologetic. We were left stranded at the deserted airport for 8 hours with no compensation, uncomfortable conditions, and a disappointing lunch box. Overall, we found the staff to be unfriendly, the service lacking, and the hotel in need of maintenance. This trip was the worst out of my four visits to the Maldives.
