Anju Sayujya

Ankit's 4 days trip to Maldives

We has a good stay at Maldives. We preferred to stay on both public and private island. The travel agent planned the same efficiently. The private island experience was great. But if you are with kids there are access restrictions in few areas of resort. Transportation was hassle free good as per our preference. All transports are shared only even if they are speedboats. So plan you flights accordingly. The public island experience was not up to the mark. We were not able to contact the local island person and we could have missed the speedboat by 2 mins. Even the best hotel rooms are not great, but the activities cost is very reasonable at public island. Stay and hospitality at Sun Siyam hotel. Very friendly

Utsav Chauhan Delhi

Sambeet's 5 days trip to Maldives

Hotel Review: Holiday Inn Kandooma was one of the best resort. Its a family oriented resort as upto 2 kids stay and food were free. Hospitality was the best. Everyone was helpful and humble. After reaching airport, we just needed to search the counter for Holiday Inn. Post that, transfer, food, stay everything was taken care and was very smooth inside the resort. Food options were less for veg, but we enjoyed a lot. Activities were chargeable, only house reef snorkeling was free and we enjoyed a lot. We booked 2N beach villa, and 2N over water villa. 3N would've been sufficient i think. 4N was too much since island was small and no where to roam. If you want to relax then you can book for more days. Always go for the All Inclusive plan coz drinks are too costly. Agent review: Divine Journey team was excellent. Raj Tripathi has helped us a lot in choosing the best plan anf was cheaper than market rates what others had been offering. He has helped in booking the right rooms with the right plans. Kudos to the team for making our first international trip wonderful. Good Trip
