wondering if anyone has been to reethi beach or centara grand? Got a few questions but they don't have a forum to ask on. Long shot i know but still.
Nein, i went to Vivanta by Taj and it was just epic. You wont go far wrong anywhere in Maldives really mate!
Yes looking to go again in winter 2014/15. We've been to Kuredu twice and vilamendhoo and want to try somewhere else. we have kids so limited to where we can go as we need them in our room. Also the islands do differ quite a bit in size and marine life. Some islands have zero fish! and I like to take the kids swimming with whale sharks, manta rays and turtles so you need to be in certain areas. Also we do sea plane islands as its an amazing experience. As for budget tell me about it, looking at 11-13 grand usually, hence why we go every couple of years and slightly cheaper holiday in between.
save up to go again! you will want to as soon as you get back. MY advice would be to go somewhere that you have to have a sea plane transfer to get your island. Also keep in mind only a few islands are truly all inclusive when they say all inclusive. Our bill is usually around £1500 even with all inclusive and was £1300 last time with all inclusive+ but there are 5 of us.
I've just landed back from vilamendhoo 3 hours ago, great holiday, cheers for the advice you gave on that other forum mentalpen. I'm not sure I want to go anywhere else now.
I did say you won't want to go anywhere else! Hope the weather was good and got to see the marine life. Kids are begging us to go back and not to another island. The staff are fantastic there with the kids and we are really torn but there are too many islands to keep becoming a repeater.
