«KUREDU не рай, но где то рядом...» "KUREDU is not heaven, but somewhere nearby..."

We went to KUREDU on a honeymoon trip, I dreamed about the Maldives for a long time and finally it happened. The trip did not leave a crazy delight, but a lot of pleasant impressions were enough. Weather in season - was not quite seasonal. There were only one or two pure sunny days, and so it was overcast and gloomy, but without rain. In Russia, they really wanted the sun - bright, scorching, but even in the Maldives it was not in abundance. . . , but this is all the lyrics, and now to the point. The hotel is worthy, it justifies its four stars by 100. We got the "ocean beach villa" 293, located just in that part of the island where the entrance to the water is fenced with breakwaters and a lot of stones. But even this placement has its advantages. I think the ocean restaurant we were assigned to is the best located on the island, in the sense that it is almost above the water - the views are amazing. The ocean rooms were built in 2007. Everything works, everything is in excellent condition, and there are not many people. But on the side where the pier is, there are a lot of people, everyone wants white sand and a good entry into the ocean. It takes 7-10 minutes to get to the pier. You just need to cross the island across and you are already on the other side. I don't see any problem with this. We had a full board, because we are people who do not drink - this suited us perfectly. The food was delicious, kudos to the chef. The food is very varied, with the exception of breakfast, but I think this is a trifle. There are really very few Russians in the hotel, we were the only ones in our restaurant. From the excursions we took one fishing trip - very exciting - we caught a lot of fish, filled out an application and the next day they prepared it for us. Regarding coconuts, take a knife with you if you want to enjoy the nut. We didn’t like coconut milk, but nuts are what we need, but it’s not easy to get them. With some skill and experience, it took 10-15 minutes, and our rumboy with his cleaver took five. An excellent snork to the left of the pier, if you turn to face it. The corals are dead, but there are many living creatures. We rented life jackets at the dive center ($4 per hour for one life jacket) and snorkeled for hours watching turtles and other inhabitants. Well, there are specimens - just some kind of "mammoths", one and a half meters in length and their whole flocks. Sometimes I wondered if they would go crazy and pounce on me, how long would it take them to eat me - the answer was not long in coming. According to my calculations, thirty seconds and I will become part of the ocean. Well, okay, let's drop the nonsense of a madman and summarize. The hotel is without pathos and frills, everything for a comfortable stay is there. Come to KUREDU and enjoy nature, ocean and peace. P. S. On the last night on the island, we looked into the endless starry sky for several hours, comfortably sitting on sunbeds. We drank wine, listened to the sound of the ocean and guessed the constellations, I suddenly felt the sky, all its expanse, all its depth - I peered into the dark distance and it seemed to me that I was also a star...
