Holidays in the Maldives I remember the perfect lack of service personnel! More precisely, to say: the invisibility of those who took care of us with the bride :). We woke up, and breakfast was waiting for us in the living room. Came from an almost deserted beach, and the table was covered with dinner! I bought a ticket on Ari Atoll three years ago at the German tour operator (so advised our tour operator) with a huge discount from the discharge "at the last minute" (Last Minute). Before the departure remained 6 days, and the journey on two people cost 2300 euros! Well, plus it was still necessary to fly there :) so the tickets themselves were more expensive than a wonderful rest, on which I made an offer to my beloved. And what did she have left, except to agree? :) This is a happy event we are now celebrating every 23 days for three years. Dinner was worth only $ 200, which was a perfect trifle in Moscow standards! :) The wife says that he agreed to marry me precisely because the offer I did in the underwater restaurant. And not because she really liked it there, but because she was scared from the thought that now these 5 meters of water together with the inhabitants of the sea will collapse on our head! :)
I must say that dinner I ordered before departure. This room is calculated only by 14 people, because those who want to visit it should reserve the tables in advance.
Hotels on Ari Atoll, as in most islands, low buildings. I was very pleased with the fact that there was not a lot here and the people. But on the third day began to lack communication with the same vacationers. Our neighbors on the hotel was an elderly couple from Germany. The bride and we were even joking that my silver wedding would also celebrate immediately when "silence together" would not be in a burden :)
Maldives all over the world are considered the most prestigious place of rest. But here it seems to me that this place is ideal only for wedding travel and leisure of pensioners who want silence. Although at the hotel and organized parties with the show program, it was somehow too few people in order to have fun "without care." Everything is too perfect ... Even the guests are all very serious, positive, without flaws. Dinner in such a restaurant with paradise live music was also much cheaper than I calculated: a menu of two dishes plus a dessert for the bride and coffee for both of us - within 70-90 dollars. Well, seafood we have come here for a year forward!
I will definitely never forget this holiday - I have become a happy husband after him. But I planned to return to this paradise silence to this paradise silence, we planned closer to the old age :)
