Maldives, Maldives: Average Review Ratings

Weather

The weather was sunny, only one day it was raining.

Holiday

The boat is one of the newest on Maldives (it was built in the end of 2015). This is noticeable for its interior design.
The meal is a full board in a buffet style, but the food is really varied. We had the opportunity to choose from fish, chicken, beef, sashimi, shrimps, vegetables and fruits. We have to give chef his due (he's local by the way), everything was delicious.
Other services such as alcohol or dive equipment renting are for extra price. What concerns Azalea, they also make a night barbecue trip to the most distant sandbank of Vaavu Atoll (the closest island is about 20 km away)
The boat could be divided into 3 decks and plus a sun deck.
There are 6 Standard cabins, a few stockrooms and a crew cabin on the ground deck. They are small, but comfortable (nobody complained).
On the main deck there are two Junior Suite cabins and one large and the most expensive - Master Suite. There is a dining area on that deck as well. Breakfast and lunch are served inside and the dinner is outside.
There's an entertaining area with comfortable sofas, bar, music and TV on the upper deck.
And on the very top there is a sun deck where you can sunbathe or chill out in a jacuzzi.
We made in total 16 dives. It was amazing!

The weather was very good with long hot days and warm nights.

We did have 2 days of tropical rain storms in our 2 week stay but that did not effect any of our activities.

We have been to Kuramathi six years in a row each time for two weeks, though didn't get there this year, but hope to go again next year.

We have only ever had rain on one of our visits, but it only lasted for one day, so was fine. The rest of the time on all our visits it was really hot.

Holiday

It is a beautiful island with great accommodation and the most amazing staff. The food is fabulous with a great choice of cuisines. Cant wait to get back.
Best place we have ever visited.

Rashdoo is the shopping island where there are lots of bargains to be bought. They only get tourists once a week so please support their local economy. We spent a week last year on The Atol Explorer- a dive boat / cruise boat. It was great. We landed on a different island every day for beach BBQs and snorkelling. We had a fantastic time.

Weather

We went in February in 2009.

The weather was fantastic. t rained once at night, the sun was extremely strong though so beware and take some long sleeved cotton cover-ups.

Holiday

Overall the holiday was the best experience ever.

It was like being on a desert island but with the luxury of all mod cons.

The service was without fault and the accomodation was really fantastic, especially the garden shower.

We went in september and the weather was fantastic - rained three times in all twice at night and once during the day for about 15 mins...it was actually quite nice and refreshing when it did rain - did not bother us one little bit - nothing like the rain in the UK!! (",)

Holiday

We had a fantastic holiday, our (kuoni) rep was brilliant...so friendly and helpful. Excursions were fab too, did one every day nearly - maybe did too many, next time would prob do less and spend more time relaxing on the beach or having a wander around the island. It truly is PARADISE and i would recommend to all my friends and family!!
