Returned from the hotel Adaaran Club Rannalhi Maldives 4 * Maldives, South Male, June 8.2011. Holidays in the Maldives were not planned. At the suggestion of the travel agency, I got together with the child in 3 days. This is our first time in the Maldives and certainly not our last. Now I realized that I always went to the wrong place. That only in the Maldives you can take a break from people, fuss, enjoy the peace and quiet. Reviews 2 days read regularly. Hair stood on end. But I took some advice. We took a flashlight with my son (8 years old), and had a great time in the evening after dinner, driving a horde of crabs along the beach. I read somewhere about fumitox, from mosquitoes. THERE ARE NO MOSQUITOES, don't take it with you. There are ants, they crawl on fresh water, do not spill water on the floor and you will not have ants in the room. Mostly sneak into the shower. Because the country was new to me. A bunch of pills, ear drops, eye drops, plasters, greens, iodine. They put it in a suitcase. NOTHING was useful.
The main thing is solar protection. Preferably #50# 30. And definitely from burns, Foam D-panthenol. This is the most important thing that should be. Fins, masks, snorkels, coral slippers, put in the first place. All week for 2 or even 3 hours we swam in the reef. Beauty, beauty, beauty. Very rich house reef in this hotel. Reef all around the island. 150 meters from the technical pier, a reef where turtles live. Do not take a lot of shoes with you, they are simply not needed there. We went barefoot, Barefoot is also allowed in the restaurant. Even beach flip flops were lying around in the room. The island is cleaned, fallen leaves and fruits are collected all day long. Minimal clothes too. Huge suitcases of evening dresses are not needed there. I was very glad that there were many Europeans, noisy Chinese, cheerful Italians in the hotels. There have never been conflict situations, Everything is very worthy. There were 10 Russians. There were no faces that like to bend their fingers and pretend that they are the coolest and richest in the world.
Friendly staff with a white smile. We had half board. Which I was also happy about. They went to dinner hungry. The system in the hotel is very convenient. Do not forget that upon arrival at the hotel you open a loan of 500 dollars. Therefore, at least this amount should be with you. Buying water in the evening, 1.5 liters with a tax of 5dol11cent, a check is issued. Everything you buy, even souvenirs, massages, pay for everything in the evening before departure. Unless, of course, you bought something. Upon arrival at the restaurant you will have your table. He is always free. If you want to eat at lunch, come and eat, but this is already paid. Child $10, adult $20. + tax = 34 dollars for two. We went 1 time and realized that it is better to wait for dinner. Gluttony does not suit us. There was no noisy animation (Turkish fool house) ITS did not exist at all. Live music every day at the bar, karaoke, Disco on the beach (with drinks 20 USD) but it's so cool, white sand, huge stars, the sound of the ocean.

No, we didn't dance, we chased crabs. You can also have a bite to eat at the bar. Pleasant beer LION (SRI LANKA) the Germans will not drink garbage, and this beer flowed like water. We formed a company, and the last 2 days we went to the bar to the water bungalows. It was quiet and calm there, BLUE HAWAII talked and drank. The beach was empty. We didn't run for sunbeds. We chose a large beach for ourselves, since the wind was blowing from our side of Buegalo No. 206 and the ocean was very wavy. But when the moon appeared 2 days before departure, the wind and the ocean calmed down. And in this place we studied the reef. I will not write about underwater beauty. See for yourself. Also, due to the big waves, we did not go on an excursion to Male. We had enough extreme sports upon arrival, 40 minutes rushed along the waves to the island. It was something. I had no problems with the staff, I went to rest, I needed peace. I didn't even pay attention to changing towels or not. A complete set in the shower, you can not bring shampoo with you. Enough for a week.
They came from the beach after sunset, it was clean. Air conditioning noisy, Slept with an open balcony. Great ocean view from the 2nd floor. Birds, flying foxes, Oruchie very much. Especially in the morning. Chickens are also loud (chicken is what I called them) funny birds on long legs. The island is green and cozy. After dinner, 2 laps around the island is a holy cause. In the bar at the bungalows, sometimes tuna was tied, sharks, rays swam. At the technical pier, you can also see fish and sharks in the evening. And at the pier to which everyone is brought in the evenings there are a lot of fish. Our acquaintances, a young couple, moved to water bungalows for the last 2 days. A beautiful, romantic place with a meter by meter glass floor. And a bunch of fish you enter. If you suddenly want to live there for 150 dollars a day. I don’t really want to write about food, I’m not whimsical at all. Suddenly you will be interested. The food is fresh, delicious. Breakfast is traditional, like all over the world. Omelette, Fried eggs, This is fried at your request.
Bacon. Do not forget the Muslim country, sausage and bacon are not like ours. Sausages, Pleased with beans. Sausage and beans were the favorite breakfast in Belgium. Eggs boiled. Omelet, Cous Cous is a spicy dish. Tourists from Sri Lanka and Others lived in hotels, they love something spicy. Hercules porridge. Wet toast, cheese, sausage. grilled tomatoes. Apples, Watermelons, Pineapples, Oranges. Jams, muffins and several kinds. Tea, coffee, Drinks Water, Fruit drinks are very sweet, diluted with water. Tastier than Turkish swill. There were also 2 types of yogurt. And baked waffles. I don't know how you like this set. My breakfast at home sometimes happens, just a cup of coffee. Please do not pour water into a bottle. It's not very pretty from the outside. If you have chosen an expensive vacation, allocate an amount for the purchase of water. DO NOT SHAME.
If you are with a child, do not worry about the quality of food. Your child will be full. Dinner- There are days Grilled lobster 25 USD, Other days grilled shrimp. Looks like $25 too. Fish ALWAYS.

We saw the sun, a dark disk around, and then a rainbow. I got up twice to greet the sunrise. I took many beautiful photos. The sun rises at 6 am. Dawn met not alone. Every morning the Heron waited for the dawn on the beach. She stood exactly where the sun should have risen. Look at the sky, very beautiful clouds. Amazing sunsets. RELAX AND REST. Get high. They say the Maldives can go under water. I realized that I would be back, I always leave something for later (excursions) There will be something to do next time. I will look for a small island, With a smaller Russian-speaking population. So as not to read stupid reviews about hard pillows later. And that the generator is buzzing. He is buzzing, it will be scary if he stops buzzing, there will be no water, no light. Back in April I bought a ticket to Turkey. We're leaving June 22nd. Oh well, why can't you change it to the Maldives. We missed one week. But I managed to rest, such bliss in the body, I can hardly return to work.
And the ocean still roars in my ears. Keep in mind the gift shop is not rich in assortment (I think everything was sold out, but there was no delivery) It is expensive at the airport, but you can buy tea and spices there. Yes, many other things. Treat yourself and loved ones with souvenirs. I found a place in the ocean. And I realized I'm KAIFOV THERE. And the joy of the child from what he saw the underwater world. Are expensive.
