Maldives Introduction
I will experience numerous times apt the Maldives devoted to you, or work to the Maldives as the premier time people of ordinary travelers reference information, the rich class tourists do not watch.
With the appearance of the Maldives tourism hot, scale up people travel to the Maldives. A few days antecedent a lot of network together in the travel partition to see such a common travel plans: He does not know is that Vabbinfaru Banyan Tree Maldives Vabbinfaru that no water house. The tourists appear impatient to go to the Maldives, but the courses do not, the target is not clear, may be capable to do after the Maldives do not know. There are times in the half-way transit time to the Maldives, I chatted with a few tourists base that the most visitors do their homework very poor. Go to the islands of their own situation and this is not the purpose of more apparently. Again, I have a homework voting Island when, in Google Earth that class Santos Island, there are two Water Villas at the time, all the agents have not had this production recommended, so the agent intended to live in water villas, as agent of this do not know when the island has a water villa, after cross-checking on my set. So homework is important. To let everyone have fun in the Maldives, I will experience several times to introduce to you the Maldives.
first put forward the following warning to the domestic tourists, domestic tourists want to pay care to the Maldives.
l some islands in the European tourist season, does not receive the Chinese tourists. This is not bias, for instance; MADOOGALI, the Italian group bought a hotel business, the island received only Italy, Germany, the UK tourists. Probably affected by the recent economic crisis, reduce the number of European visitors, off-season began this year in other countries including China received visitors. European tourist season is still not receiving visitors from other countries. European Tour season roughly from early November arrival of the end of the end of January.
l some islands do not like the Chinese tourists. A variety of causes;
1. Chinese tourists, many people do not tip. Usually in the Maldives, and the ground staff, boat and seaplane can not give tips, but tips to get people to take better service. For baggage handling staff, the room waiter, to pay one dollar per day or tip is normal, but also the chief income of these people. Tipping is not indeed unpopular, quality of service also declined. Some people reprove this blame. Hotel dining on the island, the buffet usually do not tip, visible when ordering food, service level to tip $ 1 (each).
2. Few Chinese tourists mandating is ordering, not buyer drinks. The hostel cafeteria is a important revenue Oh. There is no rules, no manners. Dining is not line up do not say, namely palatable, one half of a panel on the side walk, affecting penniless! In fact, the hotel is all Tiancai people, how will the panel empty?
3. Chinese tourists to live a short time, four days is a jot up! European tourists are often living here for a pair of weeks of. The high cost of shuttle visitors.
4. Chinese tourists, regardless of where the loud noise, garbage readily litter, causing resentment and visitors from other countries complained to the hotel.
5. pay attention to protect the marine environment, not just the waste discarded into the sea, watch the coral in the sea when the prevalent phenomenon of coral collection and trampling. Normal climate conditions, the need for coral regeneratiin season of decades, and immediately increasingly global climate warming, coral ring once broken it can no longer be restored. So far all Chinese tourists to the island, similar to Full Moon Island, Laguna, etc., have largely not see the all coral has.
little perception of coral: coral generally two types, one is called hardware coral reef coral, wonderful, the color is not very bright. Another software called coral, most species, thousands of colors. After the death of the coral reef, usually turn white, as albinism death. Common market, made into handicrafts, mostly Acropora, is a coral reef. There are also white with brown or slightly green coral point, known as sea stone flowers, but also the coral reef.
Maldives Maldives Travel Tips
central position and the east Indian Ocean, north-south strip of the island group, the waters cross the equator, the Islamic countries. Year-round mean temperature at 24 degrees, 32 degrees during the day, not four seasons, the raining season and dry season sub-only. But even during the rainy season, most of the rain is very eight minutes, a cloud over the binary, it is difficult to see the sequence for several hours under the rain. Generally dry during the rainy season in May and October as a dividing line. The best tourist season from February-April, this time the Maldives really calm, other times larger waves, not much impact on the snorkeling, but love sick people, the impact is slightly larger. The countries from the Maldives, Sri Lanka recently, 770 kilometers to the Sri Lankan flight for one hour (one hour time difference), and Beijing has three-hour time difference. Currency for the national currency and U.S. dollars, the National General. Use the same language, the Mandarin and English National General, China opened to multinational mobile call business, you can use in any local islands, but expensive. Every minute more than twenty yuan RMB. In the domestic airport with flights to leave the nation, Chinese tourists in the Maldives to enjoy the visa, passport with at Male airport, air tickets and hotel vouchers accessible thirty days of entrance permits. In fact, immigration alone can make you passport, but was set to Male Hotel, price is no great convenience, basically what is there to live, not the selected. Note: The entry will let you reserve a departure card, with the departure card exit, losing it will be very perplexing, and even bad machine. Had to remind visitors to the Maldives tourism in the nation needs a third country airport exit visa. In fact, you just go to the Maldives with passports and tickets to grant exit. It should be noted that: Your passport must be valid for six months or more! This includes your appointment of departure.
almost no matters produced in the Maldives, tourism and narrated revenues accounted for 85% of total national proceeds or more. A small number of fish, handicrafts and souvenirs. Consumer prices in the Maldives is not expensive in general, prices are beautiful even and European airports; U.S. $ 3-5 a bottle of 300 ml cola, a local postcards also involve $ 1 postage. Therefore in the Maldives, the best addition to the banana, nothing to buy. Security, the hotel is the best, separately from a few Chinese tourists to go up to the hotel, Chinese tourists have complained, there is little money and missing records, even if the morning you put money on the table, wash up after a day of the second later, will not be a cent less (if the U.S. put the pillow, the waiter will go Oh when the peak proceeds). Airport to be a lot worse, I have a second home at the airport check-in baggage, returned to Shanghai and found that luggage is opened, all lost something precious, value more than 70,000 RMB, of special note the thousands of photos, and more than ten hours of underwater video detriment, really heartbreak. Capital is very poor, a total of about eight square kilometers of the island, the enrolled population over three hundred thousand, the population density, road near the port is only two alleys, bike routes, all other. Buy things you can sale, hard sell infrequent accident. But when you have lost your exhort and navigate local people to do lead you to the capital around the time you buy something and eat the cost, would certainly turn your own cost is much higher. If your English can not cope, then best not to wander.
the best of your English is very good, good communication will startle you, once we set a six-member assignment to the Taj Coral Reef Island FB, a friend of English is very good, a check Jiliguala Dayton speaking, actually for us to win three meals a day plus a free beer when you drink surrenders, so the envy of other tourists. But as long as you do not mess with any trouble, then, will some simple English, you worry to go well. English is actually my primary school graduates can not keep up with, but I reason alone English, but also to the three and did not encounter any trouble.
to Maldives snorkeling
First we have to clear our purpose. Many presentations that Maldives is a paradise for tourists. The caption should say yeah. But we must know the averaging of that term. Heaven is that it's overall condition or state tourist island is first class. So, be accurate; favorite island paradise for tourists. Therefore, the most worthwhile of the Maldives in the international community to the 20 islands, has been ranked first.
1. First-class hotels and services. Do not look like a thatched house looks, but the internal facilities and a cosmopolitan city with the level of the hotel by no method inferior. Certain conditions even better, so that it can be said of the solitary, such as the Hilton Hotel underwater restaurant. The hotel level to six stars rating from Samsung, for tourists choose.
2. Large digit of isles with quite agreeable snorkeling and diving conditions. Visibility in the water more than 30 meters. Very explicit.
3. Visa allows you to save a lot of difficulty, stable flight, quiet and tranquil island, appropriate climatic conditions, the Maldives throughout the annual so that guests can have amusement.
4. There are a lot of activities available to visitors to choose.
world noted tourist island or beach a lot, one on definite conditions, there are also more than the Maldives. Such as Australia's Great Barrier Reef, distant better than the present state of Maldives coral, but the other conditions is complicated and the Maldives, compared to living in Cairns, Every time I go snorkeling, to almost two hours by boat. I have been to several Paracel Islands, where the snorkeling conditions are not poor according to the Maldives, the elemental ecological conditions are very good, but the weather, settlement and so the conditions can not be compared with the Maldives. In fact, the best snorkeling in Okinawa than in Japan, nevertheless Japan to open China's private travel visa, but conditions remained coarse and applying blocking a lot of tourists. Similarly, other similar tourist attractions, various conditions compared with the Maldives, but always many worse, so unable to Maldives Bimei. Therefore, the overall condition of the Maldives is definitely a good tourist island heaven.
Now we travel to the Maldives on a very clear purpose: first dive (snorkel or dive), the second is where the sun and enjoy the food.
dive very professional I will not say more, but to the Maldives, you did not even go snorkeling, sun all day, sleep, you spend so much money, so hard to flee the Maldives do? Hainan on it! Some may say that I do not snorkel, not even swim! It is not a problem, my daughter 13 years old, not been snorkeling, most travel to distant lands in the swimming pool 25 m, but to bring divers treasures, a few meters deep water is several minutes, a trip that is several hundred meters per day at least twice. Wear life jackets, bottomless places challenge. So even now you can not swim, go snorkeling is also wearing a life jacket! Some people with a movable pad or air bed to go snorkeling, you can, but these things easier to consume a large physical resistance, not as a life jacket safety. Especially plastic buoy and floating mats, a run into the coral, the majority being stabbed and exposed gas. At the same time you should always be scrupulous not to sell. Hands can not grasp what may air dry, like a life jacket, do not affect your hands, you can take pictures, tours and other aid.
the ordinary tourists, snorkeling is the elite of the Maldives. Is relatively easy to grasp. Usually one hour you can master the elementary units of five hours of snorkeling you can free, 10 hours you can even down to one or two meters of where to be on a little while. But note the following points:
1. Pay attention to sun damage. Waterproof coating to exposed skin type 50 + sunscreen, but sunscreen is only the feature to protect your skin from sunburn, tanning inevitably oh. If you want to tan or wheat color, can be used olive oil instead of sunscreen, olive oil to enhance the color effect.
2. flippers, diving mask, snorkel snorkeling Sambo collectively, the best to buy sets of fins feet, do not buy lace. Wear a couple of first thick cotton socks wear flippers, it would not be comfortable and a lot of coral sand Ge injury or flipper rubs. Swimming goggles is not snorkeling. Have to buy the diving mask, snorkel the best to buy dry, regular and difficult breathing tubes, cozy water. Diving snorkeling on the treasures in the many islands is provided free of dictate (which you should inquire when making reservation), media quality, by the time you do not resent other people his mouth to bite off, although with. Check out the former also wants.
3. snorkel memorandum the trend, do not pay attention, then swim out too far downstream, think back will be very strenuous tour, they must first master the tide the flow of the tide to avert creature too far with too Islands, intimidate your security.
4. mirror by the impact of temperature, easy to fog, the best every day with anti-fog agent into the water before handling time, saliva coating on the lenses, smog can also play a role in a short time. It does not stuff if the water mirror, the mirror of water inside the upper hand to suppress up, neb to the top of the gas mask, water will be expelled from the base. This method is to bring an end to ... several correlates to master. When necessary, will head out of the water re-treatment. Note that when a track of hair with a mask can not be suppressed, otherwise water seepage.
5. If you swim in the sea level in general, it is best to wear life jackets, safety first! Need to be prompted that the vast majority of poor quality of life jackets provided by the hotel are lace. I suggest you cost thirty or forty dollars to buy chips snap, using a life jacket when the hoop tightly on the body, this will empower you to control your own body without interference, it will not wear your whole body. More convenient to you to operate your camera and other supplies.
6. who have large wounds and bleeding, do not snorkel, it will reason the drastic ecology of sharks and eels! Unless you encounter rapids, snorkeling, attempt not to touch the coral, not to catch fish, to prevent injuries. Some fish watershed with nerve toxin, was punctured to reason grief, serious when there will be life-threatening. Dead fish did not toxic.
7. snorkel a morsel more bread when you can, food like instant noodles, rice balls, trample feeding the fish, then will collect around you a lot of fish. But it will not come shark, sharks are not interested in this food. But you do not try to catch fish by hand, one touch any fish you are sure to motivate the fish may make self-protective attack you. You know, even one pounds of weight of the fish will easily snapped your fingers!
8. even now you use dry breathing tube, the tube will be water. This time you breathe, there will be rolling sound, Do not anxiety, the first breath, then suddenly the exhaust pipe to. It will pipe the water from the drain valve. Note that when you meet problems when snorkeling can be physically translated backstroke state, release the breathing tube after treatment.
9. the most beautiful underwater landscape where the junction must be the depth of the water, the fish is large and more, the best coral state. But this position is more keen where the water, and even shallow water depths are up to two meters away, so do not have snorkeling techniques, easy not to this location for snorkeling. But should retain ample strength to swim back, because many of the islands to the depth of the water from the shallow junction with tens or even hundreds of meters away, so we must do what!
10. the vast majority of the Maldives sharks will not aggression people, unless the sharks smell blood in Road, will have aggressive behavior. Snorkeling in the Maldives when I had several encounters a shark (or even to seek out sharks pictures), which are spirited to leave. Occasionally you will be ten meters away from the depths of knocking about the woods watching you, but one will slip up. Even when it is the individual close you, you must be tranquility! Ten million panic, the more nervous the more possible an accident. As long as you are silence and cozy, the fish will soon leave you.
11. snorkelling attention when tidal fluctuations, fluctuations in tidal water level difference of about half a meter. Maldives is generally in the morning tide, the tide began after nine to three in the afternoon and then began to ebb (tidal fluctuation in different season, different time, please note). When you are long in large areas of coral snorkeling, when will you avoid the ebb and trapped in the coral area. If this occurs, we must not worry, first looked up the direction of the island, and then find the deepest position in the water, try to flatten the body, networked feet with the ankle led to fetch water, and slowly swim out from the coral reef area above . Do not free the drill, there may be more distant islands and into deep water. This time do not stand in the coral, the coral is not only bad foot, but more importantly it will scratch your body. In large areas of coral in standing or walking, scratched, stabbed body of probability, nearly 100 percentage.
12. If you have a waterproof camera or video camera, ready to shoot when the snorkeling, the water must be carefully checked before a good waterproof seal, the seal must be applied for all silicone oil . A clue of cilia or a small ring on the pressure in the coral dirt, water seepage and mar to the equipment will be. Replace the battery or memories card is also remedied in the same time. Can be wrapped with a slender floor of silicone oil, effectively to improve and reinstate the bounce and sealing ring. Security camera or video camera to use the rope on the wrist, to discourage falling into the water. Highly corrosive sea water, once the water is further repair. If the device is necessitated after shooting in seawater accumulation preservation, wash with fresh water a few minutes, then steep in fresh water for ten minutes, then water washed a few minutes. Gap in the camera all the salt washed off, dry it and save.
13. If you are snorkeling when passing something else's water room, do not strange to go up, it is a violation of personal territory!
14. Finally, when you are snorkeling together, the good and retain a close associate to attach to each other. If you want to go land, do and partner description. Leave together.
fishing activities is also very good, but you can not just fishing in the Maldives, not authorized fishing and coral mining will be a fine of 5,000 dollars. Water House is better as secluded, you can embezzle worked on fishing addiction, can also participate in the union of the fishing hotel, the hotel rents boats. 2MM fishing on the hand with a line drive more than 30 meters, 40 of the anchor, the configuration is very poor. Best boat wand comes with 20 hooks, iron cable strand, 0.1 lines of guide sinkers, 100 grams of guide sinkers and more with a few, there are too many easy to hang at the end of the coral. No. 6 bus route or with 0.8 nylon line fishing in the Maldives when I was many times the fish biting child wire. Even with 1.5 nylon line trolling, have been snapped off. Boat fishing and trolling the island has almost every activity. Record is a tourist fishing on Blue Flag over 200 kilos of fish!
As for enjoyment, depends on your economy condition of the. Live solo, the altitude daily fee will be ten thousand dollars or even thousands of dollars, meals and a meal to more than 200 dollars. The minimum stay should be more than two hundred dollars per day, meals 30-50 dollars a tonne, the level of found of tips can vary several times a day! Individual conditions are different, choose a different, can only do what it can not be comparisons.
how to prefer the island (Hotel)
First you must contact several travel companies or multi-agency. They can provide the islands to see. Do more assignment.
Maldives by more than 2,000 islands, atolls in 24 all but, the development of tourism the island has less than 200, was bought out of the dozens of international tycoons, the island is outside of these open. Some islands are of international hotel group management buyout, open only to Europeans, which in turn clear the dozens, more than 80 islands about prologue up for Chinese tourists, while domestic travel company signed more than eighty hotel only a small portion. All have contracts only about Impex Holidays, which is home of the Maldives tourism companies in the domestic agent, based in Taobao.
Maldives in the island, the airport is an island, the island capital, is another hotel located in one island, a large island with two or three hundred rooms, a small island fifty rooms also. International Hotel Group bought more for the right to operate the island after their evolution and operation. Generally is an island hotel, there are exceptions, in more than 130 km from the airport there is the RAA Atoll Island, outside call in two, one called A Dalan Water Villas (Adaaran Prestige Water Villas), super star, the other Hu called Mead rushed Layou Island Resort (Meedhupparu Raa Atoll Republic of Maldives), four-star, really on an island, but return two hotel group treatment. As well as in South Male Atoll South East district, called Anantara Resort (Anantara Resort Maldives) in the region has four resort island located on the beach in a large superficial water, connected with a wooden bridge. Traffic between the islands, close by boat, seaplane only as yet the. Longer rely on a small land-based aircraft navigation islands.
strongly recommended that you download a free Google Earth, to the Maldives to see, to carefully compare the different islands. Pick out five to ten islands, because it is not an island you want, you can get on the set. Cheap, shallow good hotel, or even make a reservation six months in advance. Find travel company to see price. Now talking about cost, we can not do being taken advantage of it! Though it is the Maldives islands, but very different islands, some islands, coral only 10 meters away from the coast 20 meters, and some islands there are several hundred meters, some among sight of the island you do not see the coral, are large districts of shallow pearly sand. This means that you can not see a lot of fish, not to mention the fish, and it can only see a dozen varieties of small, high is small, mostly less than half a catty. Maldives hundreds of category of fish, how to look at a more than one hundred kinds of fish, right?
But Google Earth shows the picture due to camera time earlier, and some islands hotel with reality, such as WADOO Hotel (W °) Google is exhibited on the five plus two luxury house water water-house, the other is thirty between the left and right of the beach house, but will be back in early 2009 to remove all of the beach house, into green belts and service area. Water House is also removed in deeper (more than 1 meter high tide water depth) more than 60 newly built water house. Including four suites house wedding water, over 40 water-house, a dozen Japanese-style water house. But houses are not water directly into the water lifts, but Kenichi bridge ladder set up for snorkeling with some water. Basically, in 2009 and put into use a new hotel on Google are not shown as yet.
The diagram is chosen two typical hotel pictures, the picture is a copy in the Columbia Valley on the map, showing the layout of the hotel, coral state. In the picture, the white is the sand, very sallow blue is shallow water, a black smudge bar is coral. Dark blue is deep. Strip material is alluvial brown coral, no ornamental value. Columbia Valley map using the measurement function, you can tell, beach width, no width of the water corals, coral, width, wave impact direction, and so forth. Ideal.
hotel in the Maldives, will mobilize activities for tourists, usually a single accident is posted on the placard boards in the lobby, visitors will go to his room number, label, number of fill can. Must be noted that most of the activities along the number of requirements, not scrape attach the number of activities will be deleted, but not each day activities. The hotels are not the same set of activities, but not appearance the retinue number; nightfall ship tour, Male swim, take the conception of coral submarine, Doni Islands tour boat all day, half-day boats, personal boats off the seashore of snorkeling, Doni dolphin-watching boat, seaplane photography, uninhabited island personal boat diving twice drifting picnic packs, glass-bottom boat coral viewing, surfing, skateboarding, sliding bevel, windsurfing, fishing boat at nightfall, morning fishing, fish boats trolling Blue Flag . These are charges, price from ten dollars to thousands of dollars, because the hotel level are quite assorted. Hotel also situated a number of free activities such as chart tennis, badminton, billiards, waterfront volleyball, library, swimming pond, etc., there are so few of each hotel is always free. Most people moving is the books, rows of books, magazines, the vast majority of visitors gift, diplomatic languages are Affected along this, each time I go will also voyage with two types of books to stay in the hotel. The most amusing is that some hotels did not evening around five will go to the beach to feed the fish, then, a lot of fish, primarily the one meter diameter rays, two, three-meter-long sharks, turtles and other fish will be to you eyes waiting for the servant to feed, and even some hotels let visitors feed altogether. Many of the hotel will have 24-hour bar, night bar, Disco, and a variety of SPA (one kind of Thai massage, of course, there are other standards of massage, the price from tens to hundreds of dollars). Some day the island will have large-screen projection DVDj introduction of regional tourism, but also small shops selling everyday travel goods, free or fare way computers, a massive hotel there will be a physician (very little) and usually secondhand drugs. Fee simple for visitors to cater treatment and trauma dispose. All hotels will must appraisal (PADI) scuba diving professor, attempts visitors a variety of charges from low to high dive training. Even one to one instructing sparring and so on. Then you can selectively participate in three, two. All hotel rooms are equipped with internal double mattress, and some hotels have suites or kin rooms, cheap room without bath only a shower, only a small portion of the hotel disposable toothbrush toothpaste, and some hotels have a television, a dozen local units and English units, a handful of four-channel CCTV Chinese hotel, a large shore towel and bath towel points, slippers and life jackets are not part of the hotel configuration.
say election Island, in increase to the status of coral islands, and room and board conditions, depends on the distance from the airport island, and some islands near from the airport, ten minutes to do a boat. And some islands I'll say. the airport, take the seaplane to have half an hour more than an hour,
Nike Shox R3! This is a great bearing on your itinerary!
in the Maldives, all of the tourist islands, are bought by major international hotel management group, hands-on early, the island environment, hands-night, good islands gone, or too far, construction costs high, not easy to attract tourists, it had by increasing the level or free hotel serves drinks to attract customers. At present, the island's tourism companies recommend a good, most of the islands fall into this species. Like: Full Moon, Anantara Island, Taj magnetism Island, Kula Mati Island, Paradise Island, Platinum Island, Sun Island, Laguna. . . Shangri-La as well just put into the island. So many islands are part of this five-star island, their common functions are: a large room broad, hardware is good, broad restaurant, the food is very rich, some simply provide free beer, beverages, ice emulsion and so on. Free of charge every day or snorkeling the external islands, to appendix its own deficiencies. Some are employed elsewhere,
Nike Shox Butikk, some coral islands to improve water environment, but few in number. Islands for snorkeling is good, in Google Earth seen very clearly! She was more to know. In this chart, although the real-time updates every once in a while, and some islands to take pictures of clouds by the impact of the image is not very clear, but most of the islands can still see clearly; room general form, location, orientation, location away from the island , the intention of the tide, water depth, the depth of the junction of coral condition and location, careful observation of Earth's Columbia Valley, on the itinerary of your plans and their benefit. Maldives is the high cost of land, for our visitors, where every minute is money to buy a good arrange can save you a lot of money! You better leave a lasting memories! !
you need to know is not necessarily a good five-star island, the island may be more three-star value!
to the number of days to consider their own, by the time no problem of time and money, the hours are long namely a better alternative. You spent so much money, so long toss went to the area of beauty, not many until a few days, it is sorry themselves. I think the single-island tours 6-7 days is proper, the two-island excursion for 8-10 days is appropriate. Removed to, expense of the behind on the road 1 day, you have abounding time to enjoy. Short time longer, the higher the cost!
selection and ordering room
you pay for, which is utter.
Maldives hotel room can be cried as a prevalent house, room or house. There are usually several from low to high chamber optional beach house divided: ordinary beach house, high-level beach house, garden room, pool room, presidential suite a few levels. Water house divided: Water Room, Superior Water room, swimming pool water villas, and several senior level. Specific name for the hotel full of cheats. But basically does not disagree materially.
the same class room, water room the price is much higher than the beach house, with the high price of almost two beach room. There are four a beach house, there are single blocks, there with a garden, as well as usual swimming pool. Area of small, small fifty meters of thousands of square meters large, even water house, there are five to 6 square meters equipped with swim pool and yacht. The room toward the good, the coral a good situation, sure to be valuable room occupied. Some of the rooms entirely equipped luxury, two-bathroom, clean with a French mark, afford a one-time items (toothbrush, toothpaste, razor, etc.), TV LCD, a wireless web, some rooms only supply good quality bathe and the first fluid bath, the other on a little. Some rooms have a life jacket (oh the level of quality points), and some do not even water house with a life jacket. Room standard power channel is a three-core square head type (the South Asian standards), most hotels will configure the conversion socket, but there are unworthy. Regardless of the price level of the room, each room will be free to mail two bottles of water, priceless rooms may be France's Evian, the room was cheaper than the desalination of water. Good room to go out ten meters is the sea, the water ten meters would see the coral, the inconsistency is you have to swim out a few hundred meters, can not see the coral. It depends on the place of the hotel. But you know, your room is definitely the best place on the island.
these you must do your homework, or travel company to know clearly, do not to sent money, and then want to change the order effect is very difficult.
Water Housing behalf is that the vast majority of water house with lift, very handy onward the ladder into the water. The night lighting around the room according to the water to attract fish. Generally, the location of housing are better, or it can prevaricate smooth roof watch the sunrise, sunset, or from the coral very close (not close to some coral islands, do not live in a house of water). Room equipment better than the beach house. Disadvantage is that the tide sound, people with insomnia do not live, so repose well. For the first time to the Maldives, you can choose water or water house house, beach house of a few days. If you stay at the beach after the house wants to add money to upgrade to the water room to do transient housing, at all times the hotel availability, can be prepared, but relegation from the house the water will not repay to you.
we look at food in the Maldives, almost all have hotel restaurants are prejudiced towards the tastes of Thai curry. Mainly to Western beat, there are very few hotels have some lunch, but the taste is not correct. Sub-standard booking BB (only breakfast), HB (Breakfast and dinner), FB (including meals). Breakfast is usually 7.30-9.30, a variety of fruit juices, cake, dessert, fruit, vegetables, etc., the more abundant the higher the level the hotel, even the three-star hotel, breakfast than the mainland more than five-star hotel to be rich, and Free coffee. Guests and drink some water fee, usually 1-liter bottle of ore water or Coke 3-5 dollars a liter of malt 5-8 dollars. Can supply most varieties of wine, and some hotels in estate of thousands. Lunch is usually 12.00-14.00, most hotels do not juice, breakfast entree increases on the foundation of a grilled fish, chicken, etc., relying on the hotel level one set lunch U.S. $ 25-100 / human. 7.30 is generally straight start dinner final guests to leave, the most exuberant, based on the brunch and more food to eat. So every week there are one or two days of night barbecue dinner and evening, when the king crab, prawns, etc. are likely to supply. Dinner single set 50-200 / person U.S. dollars. Also most hotels have bars. Reminded that there are hotels are ordering three meals a day (including meals included), the All meals are freshly prepared, but far less than the hit variety, if your English is not very good, such a good hotel or not chosen, because the South Asian sub-type of Western people's taste, do not eat vegetables on a insolent, people could not stand to throw a can. Another need is to do a total time of a meal at fewest two hours. It is a waste!
different deserving to local eating habits, people not to eat Western food issues the first two days, after the required annoyance. So every time I go to must bring some instant noodles and instant rice or porridge, cooked food, pickles and other snacks, to improve taste. Feeling left when they brought in to feed the fish. Even in a restaurant to eat, I will a little pickle and barbecue sauce, table, where the grilled fish, barbecue beef, roast turkey really no savor. Where preference vegetables and fruits, fresh, tasteful. Note; All restaurants are not to wear bathing suits to enter.
general people go to horse-generation, I suggest that it is best to set HB (with breakfast and banquet), for in there, not from the very early a.m., a rich breakfast is naturally a long time to dine, eat Breakfast is not long before lunch, then dissimilar banquet, with most of the time during the day to eat in, it is kind of a consume. Themselves someone to eat, that can save time to swoop or partake in other activities (whether the hotel charges to partake in activities such as sea activities favor snorkeling, by the time the time time covers meals, with meals on board will cost have been contained.) own mini edible can too cultivate the taste. Not accustomed to the Western dinner can likewise be a free. If you go to 3 - 4 days, then will not necessarily catch up with the roast dinner. Besides not always of the island have this dinner. In general, the diving context, good food to be virtually. Unless it is a elegance hotel. So you must make a choice of options. It should be noted that, once scheduled, can not be changed, do not eat subside,

But if you sit in Male early morn seaplane transfer to the hotel, arriving before 8, you can enjoy breakfast and dinner, merely regardless of your points away from the hotel, all day without lunch and dinner. Most people set the Maldives flights fly by night, so you absence to consult several to leave the hotel and the hotel, the hotel will normally obtain 3 hours in advance to ensure the guests to the hangar.

Expensive to eat in the hotel, eat by the aerodrome just to eat, from the airport departure door entry among the jaws and a coffee shop, eat fewer, the price is high. Exit right hand side of the incline under a rapid, low, more kinds can be a la carte, a choice dish of a meal plus two drinks was merely 5 dollars you can eat is full.

Some travel companies offer hotel plus ticket packages, such as Ctrip, lines show travel commune, peace tour, Beijing CYTS, CITS Group, South Lake , these agents generally offer limited choices.

4. By Emirates, the Dubai transit. Beijing to Dubai straight-line distance 5,000 kilometers, the time difference 4 hours, four six flights airline, flight time to process about 7.5 hours. Dubai, more than 3,000 km away from Male, 1 hour time difference, a 2 airline flights, flight time 4 hours to process.

08 years, every Saturday a group of Eastern Airlines non-stop flights to Male (Male secondary school in Qatar, non-stop), I do not know why the canceled. At the same time there is a large domestic airlines in the domestic tourist season also offers charter flights Maldives. Beijing direct flights to Male 8 hours. However, such a unlock at a afterward flight, so you know when these flights, the island has long gone good, choice is too small. Especially the high ticket prices.

to note that the most of the tourism enterprise to arrange for tickets, when you go to the Male airport, mostly after ten pm local time, together with security and customs clearance, then when you contact the staff on the floor , is close to zero local time, eleven or even a. If you set too close to the island, speed boat will take you to the hotel, but also considered the day Oh to live. If you set the seaplane to the hotel, then you have to wait until six the next morning before boarding. In general, you this book, travel agents in Male Zhuyi Ye will recommend you, get up early the next day flying boat water ride to the airport. Generally charge 800 yuan / person, self-catering. In fact, this method is more frustrating people! Waiting for you to stay, a quick two points, five points up front we should rush to the wharf to take the ferry to the airport take the seaplane. To as few people take turns to play poker or take a drowse (note mosquito Oh) for a while, although not slumber, that save energy than to Male. Note that the Maldives is the strict implementation of the international hotel standard hotel, two in the p.m. to stay, midday check-out, unless you go to the hotel when you book the room is empty, or you can wait until two o'clock, in order to enter room.

If you are a ticket, book hotel separately, you must make hotel and atmosphere ticket booking, the time to main, especially in tourist season, not the hotel you paid the money, but can not buy tickets, then When you're in huge trouble. I encountered such a position, an 11 tourist season to the Maldives, months in advance to book hotels, order confirmation and a half months forward of schedule paid the money as a outcome, a friend's passport is a problem, delayed two weeks before begin booking tickets, said nought that there were no tickets, and a absolute of four round-trip flights from Male to Colombo in which the return flight did not referendum it! Contact the major ticket service, not to advert discounts, full price tickets are gone, that is, not for other airlines ticket (see the Maldives tourism peppery to what extent). No alternative but to set an early morning flight, this is a late evening at eight to 11 aircraft Male airport to fly to Colombo, cornered into a back nine of the aircraft, the airport in Colombo spent more than ten hours (to is to buy a few inexpensive sapphire). The ten hours on the islands in the Maldives should enjoy. Lessons can be narrated as deep Oh!
