Maldives Reviews

OK I've probably given the Maldives one of the worst reviews compared to others - but why is that? Is it not a beautiful place? Are the waters not turquoise and warm like bath water? Are the corals and fish not pretty enough? Are the islands not small enough? or relaxing enough? or the food not nice enough? or the people not friendly ...  Read the complete review

The Maldives - quite simply the most beautiful place on this earth, and I'm not sure where to start with this review as there are so many things I could talk about. We visited The Maldives in the summer of 2007 which is supposed to be the monsoon season (I'll come to that later) and it was the most fantastic holiday I have ever been ...  Read the complete review

Probably the best holiday I have ever enjoyed and certainly the most exotic was the time I went to the Maldives with my boyfriend. The Maldives are a group of scattered islads in the Indian Ocean and hey are incredibly beautiful, some of the islands were hit by the tsunami but as tourism is their major industry then there have been a number of new ...  Read the complete review

The Maldives is like no other place on this planet. I have been lucky enough to go on holiday there twice and can honestly say that the pictures in the brochures just don't do it justice. Geography: The Maldives is situated in the Indian Ocean to the south of India. As 99% of the Maldivian territory is underwater, the ...  Read the complete review

My Perfect Holiday- we visited Thurlhagiri Island resort over Xmas and New Yera 06/7. Thurlhagiri is in the North Male Atoll, approx 30 mins from Male. Staying all inclusive in a water bungalow for 2 cost around 3,600 GBP. Flew with Air Lanka (which was the only bad part of the experience). Leg room limited by boxes under seats. Service ...  Read the complete review

It's always the same old story when you go abroad.....yes, it's nice but not quite as nice as it was in the brochure, well NOT the maldives, it's even better in reality! There's no getting away from the fact that as holidays go, the maldives are expensive but not really any moreso than the caribbean, which is much more spoilt and commercialised. ...  Read the complete review

I open my eyes and see a clear blue sky; not a cloud contaminates it. I am lying down and below my hands I can feel warm soft sand. This must be a dream, as never before have I felt such utopia. I scoop some sand up into my hand and feel the grains trickling through my fingers. As the grains drain through, like the sand in an hour glass, I ...  Read the complete review

I went to the Maldives in May 2001. We booked the holiday about a week before we left! It cost us £399 for 2 weeks B&B! You really cannot beat Teletext! We jumped on the plane & set off for our two week holiday in paradise. The flight, unfortunately, was very hard work & not very pleasant. They pack you onto a small plane for 9 ...  Read the complete review

Maldives! The word is synomonous with paradise and relaxation - and how true! But for some reason many folk still think that you can go there only if you are willing to lose one or two limbs to afford the presumed horrendous price tag. WRONG! The Maldives can offer the ultimate in value - why take your partner to a 4 star greek ...  Read the complete review

When I visted the Maldives I had never been outside mainland UK before this trip of a lifetime and if you've ever been you will realise what it was like to have this destination as your first trip abroad!! We landed at Male and took a speed boat to Kanifinolhou. I saw flying fish as we sped along, and on arriving at our island - home ...  Read the complete review

The very thought of the Maldives is that of a high class and exclusively expensive paradise holiday. Ask anyone how much they might expect to realisically pay, and they are bound to quote between £1000 and £2000. When my girlfriend and I arrived in Sri Lanka however, I was convinced we could visit the Maldives for far less from here. The ...  Read the complete review

We went to the Maldives on our honeymoon 4 years ago and it was tranquility, after the rather long flight via Dubai we finally arrived and I was shocked about how humid the weather was. The island that we stayed on we walked around within 10 minutes, and we spent a rather relaxing time there. We stayed there for 10 days which to be honest with ...  Read the complete review

After spending nearly 3 weeks in Makanudu last November, the worrying thought is where on earth am I going to beat a holiday like that? My Fiance and I booked the holiday last May(99) for November through Sovreign at Thomas Cook. All was going, and I had collected the tickets a week before, until, 3 days before we departed they told us ...  Read the complete review

Paradise on earth - thats how it looks in the brochures - well it is - it's like walking straight into a Bounty advert. White sands, palm trees, calm blue seas - heaven if you like to lounge about reading, snorkeling, diving and not much else. Always look for a holiday there that's all inclusive - the 1 st year we went we didn;t and ...  Read the complete review

I went to the Maldives last year for my honeymoon, and can honestly say it is one of the most beautiful places i have ever been to. The Beaches are fantastic, and very clean. The diving facilities on our island (Karedu i think it was called) were brilliant. The diving itself was fantastic, so many fish, turtles, sharks etc. ...  Read the complete review
