Dreams Come True! Even in a three-star hotel…. But in paradise!
The most indelible impression from visiting the island was left by an unusually rich house reef! Orsk inhabitants of different colors and sizes are literally teeming in it! A story for divers!
There is no entertainment as such in the hotel, and if there is, then you have to pay for them. Because our budget was quite limited, we enjoyed diving and relaxing on the beach.
The food is not to say that it is excellent, but also not bad, they did not expect more from a cheap hotel in the Maldives. Fruits, chicken, meat were given, juices from packages, a couple of times they were freshly squeezed.
The service is excellent, nice receptionists, waiters, and especially the cleaners, special thanks to them for the petals and towel figurines ***
With love to the Maldives and the hotel, Galya

If you are looking for silence, detachment, white sand and gorgeous beaches, if the purpose of your trip to the Maldives is to bask in the sun and swim and do nothing, I advise you to start exploring the islands from another hotel. Equator Village, as we were told at the Unitours travel agency, is a hotel for active tourists.

If you are looking for silence, detachment, white sand and gorgeous beaches, if the purpose of your trip to the Maldives is to bask in the sun and swim and do nothing, I advise you to start exploring the islands from another hotel. Equator Village, as we were told at the Unitours travel agency, is a hotel for active tourists. Therefore, if inexperienced or wishing to sell you a ticket at any cost, travel agents begin to recommend a hotel, first decide why you are going to the Maldives. The hotel is modest, but for 3 * it’s even nothing. Of course, after numerous photos on the Internet and catalogs of 4-5 * hotels (which cost 2-3 times more) you may immediately be disappointed, but the hotel is worth the money paid. The food is somewhat monotonous, but always fresh, and as a big plus - all inclusive. The hotel has a beautiful reef, appreciate it if you like diving and snorkeling. On bicycles, which the hotel provides free of charge, you can take a walk around the neighboring islands with which the hotel has a connection. Get in a positive mood, take fins, masks and fishing rods with you and go on a wonderful trip!

The island is very large, connected to neighboring islands by sand dams and it is possible to ride bicycles on them (provided by the hotel for free). The hotel itself is quite democratic. The territory is large and green, it is constantly looked after. Very beautiful palm trees and flowers. Mosquitoes are poisoned in the evenings, so no one bites.

The island is very large, connected to neighboring islands by sand dams and it is possible to ride bicycles on them (provided by the hotel for free).
The hotel itself is quite democratic.
The territory is large and green, it is constantly looked after.
Very beautiful palm trees and flowers.
Mosquitoes are poisoned in the evenings, so no one bites. Lizards, frogs, roosters (which yell at night) and hens with chickens run around.
Huge bats fly.
Beach:
Sand with large stones and coral fragments, I recommend slippers.
The palm trees are very beautiful, they hang down on the shore and form a very pleasant shade under which you can sit / lie on various sun loungers.
The water quite close to the shore was already deep, you could immediately swim, and a little further away there were coral reefs with fish.
The mask is provided free of charge by the hotel.
There is a diving center, but you need to know perfect German. because the instructor is German.
The hotel offers free snorkeling boat rides to another location 2 times a day.
There people saw rays, turtles, even sharks.
Communication:
The receptionist understands and speaks English not very well, so you may not be understood the first time.
Security:
You can safely walk around the islands even in the evening, if your clothes do not offend the religious local population.
The hotel provides a safe for a refundable deposit, but we left some valuables in the room and on the beach (no consequences).
Number:
Large in size, audibility is very good
From furniture - only the most necessary.
The bed is big.
There is no hair dryer, but there is a small refrigerator.
Cleaned every day, especially if you give a tip.
We also changed our towels every day.
There is nothing in the bathroom other than soap and paper, so take shampoo and shower gels with you.
Hot water comes from an electric heater.
There is no TV and telephone in the room, but there is a fan and good air conditioning.
If you tip, they make a flower bed, very beautiful.
So take a lot of one dollar bills.
Nutrition:
The hotel works only ALL INCLUSIVE
This is very convenient, we did not spend anything on the island except tips and souvenirs.
The breakfast is quite modest, if you don't come early, then there will be no meat, but delicious scrambled eggs are fried.
Lunch and dinner are the same in terms of the number of items.
Usually there was 1 cream soup, 2 salads, 2 hot dishes (fish + meat or chicken), 4 side dishes.
Dessert - various jellies, mousses and seasonal fruits (bananas, pineapples, papaya)
Between lunch and dinner they offered tea / coffee + muffins or cookies.
I can say that we did not overeat.
For gourmets or lovers of tasty and exotic dishes, this is not your hotel.
Everything is very simple and democratic.
The drinks:
Included in the AI system:
Wine, beer, various local spirits, juices, water, liquors, cocktails.
For additional
Pay-type Martini, champagne, and various expensive drinks.
We had enough AI
Entertainment:
In the evenings - drink and talk, go to bargain in shops, make love.
1 time in the evening a local band performed, pretty well.
The hotel has a small library (mostly books in German, but there are a dozen and Russian).
Sports games include ping pong, billiards and volleyball.
Excursions (free of charge from the hotel):
We went 1 time for night fishing, but did not catch anything,
1 time to a desert island with barbecue. There was white sand without stones, as in the advertisement of the Maldives, and far, far away, shallow bright turquoise water.
True, there is nowhere to hide from the sun and many burned down
Tip - swim in a T-shirt and constantly smear with cream.
We also rented a car and drove to the farthest island, the driver showed us a fresh lake with storks, the beauty is extraordinary, the trip cost $ 40 per car.
Souvenirs:
You could buy on the island, because.
prices were good and bargained.
Male:
The last night was in the capital, the rooms are small, but there is air conditioning.
The local guide will take you to shops that are notoriously expensive.
We fought him off and went for a walk ourselves, found a really cheap souvenir shop, where we bought everything, but our comrades did not find such a store and the prices turned out to be where the guide dragged 3 times more expensive than on GAN island.
So decide for yourself.
It was still possible to buy gold, but we did not find anything worthwhile.
DUTY FREE:
Alcohol - yes, really very cheap, we bought 2 liters of good whiskey for $20.
Perfumes, gold and cosmetics are much more expensive than ours.
In Male, we came across a perfume shop, where the prices were very good, but we thought that it would be cheaper at the airport and did not buy anything, but it turned out to be the opposite.
