Half board means two meals a day, breakfast, lunch or breakfast and dinner. FullBoard means full meal, including three meals a day. Breakfast alone is definitely not enough. At least one meal is needed. I reserved half board, one morning and one night, at 25 dollars/person/day. The full moon restaurant also serves dinner. If you go to CasaLuna, AtollGrill, BaanThai and other special restaurants, you have to pay extra. Dinner is sometimes a buffet and sometimes a set meal.
I cann't believe there's a spring roll buffet The set meal includes bread, soup, dinner (steak or fish steak) and dessert, which is served all the time. Seeking truth from facts, the quality of dinner is very general, which is much worse than the good western restaurants in China. Dinner needs a la carte. A bottle of 1.5 liter mineral water costs $3.50 in the restaurant. If you can't finish it, you can get it back the next day. There is no limit to bread before meals, so you can feed more fish. The fish there are very clever. As soon as they smell the smell, they will compete in droves.
Don't feed directly by hand. Some fish suddenly took a bite, and some have bitten their fingers. You can also request room service. There is a menu in the room. I took a cursory look. The main course ranges from twenty dollars to thirty dollars. I am impressed that the hotel can arrange a candlelight dinner on the beach at a cost of 175 USD. I saw it when I was walking on the beach at night. It's really romantic and expensive. Two bottles of 250ml free mineral water will be delivered to the room on the first day of check-in.
After that, the drinking water will solve itself. Holiday water on the island is more expensive. In Male, the price of 1.5 liter mineral water is slightly higher than 1 USD. The bar is a good place to relax at night. At ten o'clock in the evening, it began to be lively. There is a band of four, and both male musicians are good singers. Listening to them sing some reggae-style songs is very beneficial. I recommend a cocktail in the bar called MaldivesLady, which is slightly sweet, but actually very strong. Against the bar atmosphere, the wine is not intoxicating. Eight yuan a cup, just sign the bill. It is unthinkable to come to Maldives without sunbathing. Sunbathers can be seen everywhere on balconies, swimming pools and beaches. Put on sunscreen, sunglasses and find a favorite novel.
The rest is extravagant killing time. Vacation and travel are two different things in my opinion, or maybe I'm lazy. I'd rather be a leisurely McDull pig on the beach than get on a group tour, sleep and get off to take pictures. Ladies are strongly advised to bring bikinis. The beautiful scenery here and the bikini absolutely complement each other. Nine times out of ten, mm wears bikinis all over the island, and few people wear one-piece swimsuits. I only see two, one is a pregnant woman and the other is an old lady. Prepare some one-yuan cash tips. Just give a dollar at a time. Baggage handling needs to be provided, especially in floating houses. Workers had to walk a long covered bridge to carry luggage. Leave a dollar by the bed for the cleaner every morning.
If you are a honeymoon guest, the hotel will send a waiter to send honeymoon cakes, fruit bowls and honeymoon decorations. Suggest tipping him to make him happy. As for whether the waiter in the restaurant needs to give it, I think the tipping service will be more warm and thoughtful and will not be looked down upon. A service charge of 10% will be charged for all hotel services, but it will not necessarily go into the waiter's pocket. Once I signed a bill in a restaurant, I saw the tip column and wrote a dollar. As a result, the waiter told me that if I was satisfied with his service, I could tip him directly without signing the bill (I knew the waiter very well, so he didn't shy away). As for other occasions, it depends on the service. When tipping, roll a dollar in your hand and shake hands with the waiter to express your gratitude.
The tip will naturally be transferred to the waiter. Don't worry about each other's reaction. They are good at this. We plan to leave the island at noon on the last day, so that we can check our luggage at the airport first and then take a ferry to the capital Male for sightseeing and shopping. It is more cost-effective than taking a shopping tour in Male organized by the hotel.
But when I contacted the hotel the night before to arrange the departure time, I found out that the hotel arranged the ferry according to the departure flight filled in by the guests when they checked in. The departure time of my flight is 2 1:05, so it is arranged in the evening. If you want to leave early, you can only take a downwind boat on other flights. Unfortunately, no guests left the island from 8:45 am to 5: 00 pm the next day, so I had to leave sooner or later.
If I ask the hotel to arrange the ferry separately, I have to pay extra. Now my plan is almost ruined. If I leave early, I will lose a morning on the island. If I leave late, I can't go to Malai. Just when LP and I were worried, the news suddenly came from the hotel that there was a ferry to take me to the airport at 0: 30 the next day, 1 1: 30. It's a blessing that the trip to Male is finally possible.
I will tell you later why there is a concrete improvement. It is recommended to remind you that it is best to communicate with the hotel in advance when you leave the island. On the last night of check-out, the hotel left a letter in my room, reminding us that the departure time was 1 1: 30 the next morning. Please check out in the hotel lobby before 1 1: 15, and leave your packed luggage at the door of the room 45 minutes in advance. Someone will take it away. To be honest, leaving my luggage outside the door makes me feel uneasy. I specially called the hotel to confirm that the hotel promised that there would be no problem. Seeing that other guests did the same, I decided to give it a try. In Maldives, there is a feeling that there is nothing left. However, the vigilance developed in China is useless for a while.
Get ready the next day and check out in the hotel lobby. Tell the front desk to check out and return the key, and then check out at the cashier. In fact, it's in an office on the right of the front desk. Just swipe your card and sign, and the rest is waiting at the dock. Soon our luggage was sent to the dock and the boat was ready. I was surprised to find that it was a big ship that could accommodate twenty or thirty people, just me and LP. It's cool. It turns out that this ship is going to the airport to pick up the flight attendant of Lufthansa. Lufthansa's plane returned the next afternoon, and the flight attendants spent the night on Full Moon Island. Thanks to them, LP and I were able to go to Male smoothly. Luggage can be stored at the airport. There is a luggage storage room at the arrival gate.
Go inside. Enter arrival, and the bank counter is on your right. It's in the baggage office on the left. Generally speaking, the cloakroom doors are locked. Tell security, he'll call someone. The check-in office charges $3 for each piece of luggage, and you need to show your passport. If there are many bags, you can discuss with the staff to put the small bags together and count them as one. If you don't have enough dollar change, you can change some one-dollar cash or some local currency at the bank. Local stores accept US dollars and Maldivian dollars, and credit cards can also be used in big places. The monetary unit of Maldives is Rufete (MRF), and 1 USD is almost equal to 12 ringgit. There are also some souvenir shops in the airport. One is the SouvenirsShop in the lobby, which has a very eye-catching light box.
The other is to enter the duty-free shop after leaving the country. These places can be negotiated. When you leave the country, you usually arrive at the port of departure two hours in advance. If you go early, you will be free at the airport. You can use this time to visit Male. Male, the capital of Maldives, is said to be the smallest capital in the world (Vatican is the smallest country in the world), with an area of just over two square kilometers. There is a ferry between the airport and Male every 15 minutes.
I think it's Jetty, 1 USD or 10MRF. You don't need to buy a ticket. Go straight. There will be a crew in the middle to collect money. Marley is very close. It takes five minutes to get there by ferry. The places to see are the presidential palace, the central square, the fish market and the fruit market. Besides, you can also buy good Ceylon black tea and curry in the supermarket. The Maldives is an Islamic country, and the service will start at two or three in the afternoon. At this time, many places are listed for business, except tourist shops.
Many shop assistants solicit business and issue business cards in the street, so don't be too clingy. Walking around, hungry, began to find a place to eat. After visiting several local restaurants, I was either resting or dissatisfied with the environment and afraid of being slaughtered. Later, I remembered that it was difficult to find the police, so I simply asked the police. The police recommended a Thai restaurant with reasonable taste.
We ordered paella, prawn and mushroom soup, and a bottle of 1.5 liters of mineral water, which cost more than 12 dollars. As there was no change, the waiter quickly wiped it off.
