Maldives Experience

Just like you see in the brochures

Advantages: Complete utter paradise, beyond your dreams
Disadvantages: None

I stayed here in January 2007 and I have to say it was pure paradise. We were taken to the island by seaplane. Once we got there we were welcomed by the friendly staff who gave us a refreshing non-alcoholic cocktail. Our bags were taken and we were shown our room and our bags arrived not too long after. Our room was a standard room with an enclosed bathroom and no tv, but it wasnt needed. The rooms were spotless and were cleaned every day by the ...
...moved to our own little quiet spot on the beach. This is what I loved about the island, the fact that it was small, and you could walk around it in 30 mins but it was quiet, peaceful and tranquil and you could find your own little quiet spot on the beach with noone else around.

He said we could stay on the boat for a further week or we could still go to the Island. 2 other couples were also made the same offer.

There are also blue and white sea planes called The Trans Maldivian Airways who fly to some other islands. A bustling humid and ...
