This is one of the most difficult places to review. So many positives but also some negatives. One thing we had to do was manage our expectations of how much we paid for a 4 star resort in Maldives. We paid £4500 for Water Villa, Butler, Snorkelling trip and 15 minute massage. Good price for Maldives, Blu Bay travel. If for this price you’re looking for 5 Star luxury, this is not for you. Spend double and that’s what your get, If you want a more rustic Maldivian experience at a good price, then this is for you. Firstly, you have to understand that this is a remote Island and getting there is long, We started at Gatwick Airport, 7 hours to Dubai, 2 hour to connect, 4 hours to Male, 5 hours to wait for internal flight at Male.( please note! There is no free use of lounge, it has stopped and you will have to pay £50 each! From make 1hour 40 mins, into Gan, whisked away straight away to speed boat,20 minutes to Island. This is by far the hardest journey we have ever experienced. It not off the faint hearted. No mention of this when we booked. Resort We arrived for 10 nights, do not book anything less as you can imagine the jet lag. Resort: First impression was not great I have to admit, very basic and quite rustic.It does however grow on you, because it’s so clam and relaxing. No cars on Island just electric buggies to take you around, like taxis. No fumes, light pollution and just total relaxation. Accommodation: We had water villas. It was substantial and good AC.It was immaculately cleaned twice a day, massive 50 inch TV.(Tip: take your fire stick and plug in back!) Two bottles of water supplied daily. Steps leading to water, amazing! Snorkelling everyday! Go at high tide, Sharks, rays giant grouper, turtles just amazing!!! Food: If you’re looking for European, American fast processed food, this is not for you. If you like authentic food like Mongolian curry, Indian, Chinese then this is for you! I personally found the food amazing but that’s because I love this sort of food. Yes it’s buffet but it’s all cooked fresh at the cooking stations. You will not find full English breakfast! No bacon! Great egg station, pancakes, pastries. More than enough variety! Yes there is no AC in restaurant, and it is hot. What you have to understand that the electricity is generated and they only have a limited supply, hence why there is restriction on lights etc. I would suggest sitting by the window ad there is always s breeze. Staff: Waiters, Bar attendants, buggie drivers. You will not meet nicer, friendlier people.Really make this place. You have same server everyday and table. Service was 5star! Butler: Well we never saw him and a bit of a gimmick.To be fair we didn’t want to bother him , but he could have made more effort. All inclusive: Never had to go to bar, you sit and they will bring your drinks. Whenever my glass was nearly empty they would refill. Beer war canned which I preferred. Spirits were local and not the best. Overall package is well wort
