Hotel Jen (ex-Traders), Male City, Maldives

Traders brand under the shangrila group has renamed herself into Jen (people).  This one in Male city changed it as of February this year.  The hotel has further made some little changes but made it a lot more pleasant.  The service from the Male Airport is superb - efficient, friendly and discerning.  Only in just 10 minutes (including 5 min. speed boat ride), we could have got to our room.  The room is clean and air con working well.  What made me happier is the memo note on the mirror telling me to get a cool treat from the fridge.  Fruit cup!  It's much more than putting some fruits in the room.  More variety and chilled with this fruit cup - and hygiene too since it's kept in the fridge without avoiding the sunlight when the guests have a late check in.  Also some cookies and a coffee maker to go with the chilled fruit.  So no need for those boring "stocked" mini bar.  Just go out and get whatever you like.  So paying US$250 for a room including a speedy transfer on a private speedboat is worth it!  That's why it's my fourth return to this hotel in Male City.
