I decided to spend my birthday at maldives and so for the 3rd trip here, chose the Holiday Inn based on the tripadvisor reviews (I stayed at the Angsana and Sheraton before this). The pickup at the airport was ok, and we took the ferry to Kandooma. Saved on the seaplane time and costs, but as you'd know, there are... More

I am blessed with the gift from my sister in law, I was skeptical because I visited Bali and Thailand, but Maldives Islands are on a class on their own, I was amazed with its beauty night and day, during the sunrise, sunsets and full moon, The diving with the fishes makes it an added bonus, plus the friendliness of...

I was there when the resort was newly opened and it felt awesome. From the lovely setting of the resort to the decor concept it was breath taking. I love the dome restaurant and how it spreads open overlooking the pool. We stayed at one of the family villa, love the beach styled villa. Especially the outdoor shower!!! The staff... More

Our whole trip through Kuoni was magical - from the service by BA staff at Gatwick Airport, the No1 Lounge and Spa (Susan the therapist - Superb) and the flight itself all went without a hitch. Arrival at Male was hot, humid and frantic but we were quickly met by Kuoni rep and shown where to go. Then onto a... More

First of all this was our first time in the Maldives and we had high expectations. We weren't disapointed at all. The food was great (although a little cool on occasion but if you tell them they do something about it). It is reapeated on a weekly basis so its not too bad, we went all inclusive but visited 'The... More
