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
