Didn't get as much rest as I would like.
I chose Kuramachi for two reasons. 1. The island is big - my husband and I wanted to move more. 2. Many travel agents recommended as the best, most beautiful, etc.
I hesitated when choosing between Vilu Reef and Kuramathi.
Big island. Beautiful, because well maintained. Many colors.
What are the "buts"?
1. A lot of workers. Some are sweeping, others are remodeling roofs, others are carrying something, etc. etc. Everyone greets and smiles. Accordingly, if we walk across the entire island, about 900 m - from our villa to the spit, then we greet endlessly, especially in the morning, when there are most workers. If one of them did not say hello, I felt better.

2. A swimming lagoon on one side of the island, and on the other, terrible black breakwaters and a shallow shore, basically a poor entrance to the sea. We were on the side of the breakwaters. We had a Superior beach villa with a jacuzzi (I didn’t even look in the jacuzzi). The area around the villas is very nice, but the beach is bad. I had to walk to the spit (900 m - 20-25 minutes walk). It was impossible to go out to swim in the morning. It's a pity - to be near the ocean, and to swim - to walk far. Unpleasant. It's amazing that ordinary beach villas, which are 3 times cheaper than ours, stand on the shores of a beautiful lagoon?...
3. No privacy. We were in the Seychelles, in Labriz (Silute Island) in a beach villa on the ocean and did not see anyone around, because. all roads and paths were behind the villas, and not between the villas and the ocean, as on Kuramachi. I was dissatisfied with Villa 123, which they gave us, but my husband did not agree to change, because. there is some solitude here. But it was not there! The cleaner walked past our porch 30 times back and forth - with dirty towels, mops, etc. It turned out that on the side of our wall is his point where he puts everything. And there are several villas around that he serves, and so he runs endlessly to our villa. And he shuffles his feet loudly and greets, and smiles politely... I decided to change the villa, but when studying other villas, it turned out that there are worse options! If the cleaner’s point is on the side of the fence, then others are generally near the sunbeds! Nightmare! I had to ask Yana to solve this problem. The cleaner no longer made his way through the bushes near our porch, but bypassed our villa from the rear. You could hear him, but you couldn't see him, and you didn't have to say hello so often. Feel better. The guy, by the way, is very good, he cleaned perfectly, he received tips. We parted very warmly. But who came up with such an order of their work ?!
4. Restaurant. A table will be assigned to you, and you must sit at it for the rest of your rest. We got a bad table. I looked at the kitchen, my husband at the cash register. I'm tired of asking for change. So they sat. Although it doesn't sound like it to me. Again. Those who lived in cheaper villas received tables on the ocean with a great view. ?... Who is comfortable with all this? Of course, employees. And I would prefer to choose a table for myself, change the exposure!... I didn’t like it.
Also, the menu. Breakfast is standard. But for lunch and dinner it happened that there were no vegetables or potatoes. Two types of rice, beans, pasta. I don't eat it. If the fish ended up in a tomato, then there were also problems - for example, pork is only "devilish" - i. e. terribly sharp. Or the same chicken. Well, I don't eat lamb. In general, you can describe for a long time, but often I went and did not know what to take. Of course, there is food, but there is no desire to eat it. The mood dropped. I have never experienced this anywhere. And we go several times a year. Yes! There was always fries and meat in boiling fat, but it's unhealthy! It's not McDonald's!

Why did we pay so much money?
The road, by the way, to the restaurant past the technical facility - the stink of diesel fuel is terrible!
5. About the villa. It rained several times. A rope for drying things in the open air. Things "faded". There is nowhere to put them! Hung on lamps!
It would not hurt to put a coffee table next to the sofa. Why a sofa, without a table, it's inconvenient!
6. Dividends for rent only in English. TV channel Russian one - RTR planet. It is impossible to watch, except for rare news releases.
Maybe everything would have seemed nicer if it wasn't worth that kind of money?
7. Spit. This is the highlight of the island. And for us - the beach, where we lay and swam. So, only early in the morning it is quiet there, and then companies of newlyweds come and play ball, for example. They have a right, of course. But the public beach is not associated with the Maldives, their beauty is fading.
I didn’t feel the Maldives and didn’t rest, I wasn’t in paradise, etc. This hotel does not suit me.
When leaving, they sent us a piece of paper with information, where they asked us to fill out a feedback form, but they never gave it to us. Apparently, they are already confident in their irresistibility.
