fantastic maldivian escape
safe boat transferthorough health briefingfine sunset viewsfully stocked mini bar
i celebrated my 70th birthday with a trip to the maldives and it was really good. cj met me at the airport and ensured a safe boat transfer to the resort with a thorough health briefing. looth, the guest host, provided a detailed overview of the island, along with his contact information. i got an upgrade to a bigger villa with fine sunset views (it had a fully stocked mini bar).
the all-inclusive menu was a bit limited. i wished there was more variety without extra charges.

The island provides an excellent electric bus service operating regularly between dream island and the main island. plenty of water sports activities were on offer. A well-equipped gym is available as well. the dhoni bar, an adults-only venue, provides a peaceful setting for relaxation.

The staff showed really good customer care. No request was too difficult. damon and dude were always available with a buggy for transport to dream island. shaun, a knowledgeable sommelier, offered a wine tasting experience at the mahgrib grill. the transfer back to the airport went just as smoothly.
