True, in Ghana we were met by a hotel representative and escorted to the boat. then the mood rose. a walk on the ocean under the stars. it's super. We sailed to the hotel, we were greeted very cordially with indispensable wet cold towels, we were given juice and settled very quickly. They assigned us the so-called butler who served us.
Now about the bungalow. what to say, you need to see. in general, super. service.

We took last-minute trips to the Maldives 2 days before NG via Tez Tour. Only on the day of departure, 8 hours before, confirmation came from the hotel that they were ready to receive us. We flew without problems on Aeroflotovsky Il with a transfer gap of 2 hours in Male. Upon arrival at the hotels, the smiling staff of the hotel offered us refreshing napkins and chilled mango juice, which finally put us in touch with this smiling and friendly people.

The hotel is stretched along the length of the island (bungalows stand on both sides of it). One coast of the island is one large calm lagoon, the other is an open ocean with waves and a boundless landscape.
We took a bungalow overlooking the lagoon, so as not to break away from our large team of compatriots who flew in with us.
I must say right away that there are a lot of stones and a barrier reef with high waves on the ocean side, which must first be overcome in order to swim out into the ocean, and this is very difficult and can be dangerous (currents, sharks), but we did it once .
From the side of the lagoon sandy beach. Somewhere here they filmed an advertisement for a bounty)) But! ! The coast and the entry itself are full of carals and silt, so stock up on specials. slippers. In general, we were promised that in connection with the reconstruction of the beach, we would be taken to another beach-island for free, but we were taken to other lagoons 2 times a day (without a beach), enjoy the underwater beauties with a mask and snorkel, those who wish could sunbathe on the roof of our boat . Full set rental - mask, fins, snorkel - 7$day. The underwater world is poorer than in the Red Sea. 3 hour (1 training and 2 combat) scuba dives - $174
In general, forget about the cash - just tell your number and sign, you will pay for everything before check-out, but that's another story))
The weather was quite good, the sun was steadily scorching until lunchtime, after the sky was covered with clouds. 2 times at night it rained decently, but by morning everything disappeared. From October to April in the Maldives is the most optimal for recreation. Then comes the rainy and windy season.
As for tips, $1 is the norm for room-boys, waiters, taxi drivers.
You can also sail away from the island to various excursions in the old cities, night fishing, local Gifts Shoping, but we had few days and we did not use it. The hotel has its own normal Gift Shop with a variety of souvenirs and reasonable prices. We tried to bargain and pay with cash, but we were refused smilingly and included everything in the total bill. Carefully count all souvenirs! ! I was not reported 2 to 2$!!
And then came the moment of departure, when you are overwhelmed by confusion of feelings. I didn't really want to go back from summer to winter. Well, who is easy now? ? The crisis, however
Each of us got an invoice printed out for what we spent (bar, diving, souvenirs, spa, etc. ) And then the fun began !!
CHECK YOUR BILLS CAREFULLY! ! In case of incomprehensibility - ask for a check with your signature. Personally, I was charged $56 for alcohol that I did not drink. After a long badalov and my demands to wake up the bartender, the general manager of the hotel, the Maldivian sheikh and the Russian consul in Sheri Lanka, the defense of the locals fell and they were written off to me. In general, almost everyone had a bust on the account, who had 30, who had 40, who had $70. Option 2 - or ours drank at someone else's expense, because. the signature on the check was not mine, or the locals also drink at someone else's expense, although they are Muslims)))
In general, the hotel corresponds to its 4 stars. An ideal place for newlyweds, couples in love and avid downshifters, but if you try, you can also hang out in the main Dhoara Bar - where a local DJ will gladly give up his place behind the turntables so that you arrange a Beach Party for your friends and others, which we again and created.
COME AND CHECK! !

We rested at the beginning of October. We used the services of the Kuda. ru agency, which, as it turned out, knows nothing about hotels in the Maldives. Sent to the islands, picked up a hotel (the cost is the same as a good five could be). When I arrived, I could barely hold back my tears. No heavenly white sand beaches, no promised choice of restaurants, and most importantly no seafood.

Sent to the islands, picked up a hotel (the cost is the same as a good five could be). When I arrived, I could barely hold back my tears. No heavenly white sand beaches, no promised choice of restaurants, and most importantly no seafood. Mot to you and the Maldives !!! ! One reassured was a large comfortable room. I had to look at everything philosophically and measure everything. swam only in the pool, tk. there was no entrance to the water due to the fact that the "beach" was coral and it was very painful to walk barefoot. In addition, the water is muddy and dirty near the coast. There is no food, there is no seafood (supposedly not in season). Well, in the last five days it has rained. I don’t know about anyone else, but not only at night, but day and night went on with us. There is only one conclusion when choosing hotels in the Maldives, use the services of large and specialized agencies, and preferably the recommendations of your friends and acquaintances. Good luck
