Life is beautiful, especially if this life takes place in the Maldives : )
The fact that we will spend our honeymoon week in the Maldives was decided overnight and without hesitation - after all, this is a paradise place where even the air is saturated with romance...
Since the Maldives is a rather expensive vacation, then, accordingly, there are not so many reviews on the network about the hotels of this resort.
On one of the excellent Russian resources, we nevertheless found a fairly complete list of hotels with full reviews on them, photo reports and many comments. Based on all the information received and settled on the Kuredu Island Resort.
The hotel was chosen for several reasons:
1. The main contingent is cultured and educated foreigners who themselves rest in peace and let others do it
2. Undoubtedly, beautiful territory and infrastructure
3. Well-groomed villas with their own territory
4.
The island is slightly larger than average, so that there is an opportunity to spend your time at least somewhere
5. Good beach without breakwaters and limiters
6. Flight to the island by seaplane
I want to note that the Maldives as a resort are arranged according to this principle: one island - one hotel, i. e. you live on your own island.
There are several types of accommodation at Kuredu Hotel:
- Beach and Garden bungalows - bungalows that are located in the center of the island and do not have their own beach (for example, in Egypt, hotels on the second line)
- Beach villas - various types of villas that are located along the beach line
- Jacuzzi Beach villas - high-level villas with their own patio and jacuzzi
- Water villas - the most expensive accommodation, villas placed on stilts in the water.
When discussing accommodation options, one cannot fail to mention one extremely important detail: the coasts from the southern (Jacuzzi Beach villas and some types of Beach villas are located here) and the northern part of the island (Water villas and another part of Beach villas are located here) are extremely different from each other! Namely, the fact that on the north side both the entrance to the ocean and the bottom itself are very bad: uncleaned, everything is in dead corals, algae, etc. , and besides, breakwaters are installed on this side along the entire beach line, which terribly spoil all the beauty ...
What can not be said about the reverse side of the island: the beach is snow-white, not a single trash can, without a drop of algae, no breakwaters and other limiters in the water.
Having found this information on the net, a clear decision was made to opt for the rooms of Jacuzzi Beach villas. For a hint: these are numbers from 111 to 160 (south side).
Upon arrival, we got room 142, which we were very pleased with and there was not a single complaint about it during our entire stay.
JACUZZI BEACH VILLA.
This type of accommodation includes: the villa itself with a chic king-size bed that is covered with a transparent white canopy, with a TV, built-in wardrobe, safe, mini-bar, etc. , outdoor shower (only covered with a thatched roof in case of rain ), a patio with an outdoor jacuzzi, as well as a terrace in front of the house, on which there are sun loungers.
BEACH IN FRONT OF THE VILLA.
Each villa is conditionally separated from the other on both sides by green spaces, thus creating an illusion of privacy.
In front of the villa, within 5 steps, there are 2 sun loungers that belong only to your villa and you, and immediately after the ocean.....
TERRITORY.
Like the types of accommodation, restaurants are also divided into several types. If we conditionally divide them, then there are 4 such main ones: southern (Koamas), northern (Bonthi), western (Sangu) and eastern (O').
All restaurants are assigned to each type of villas, Koamas belongs to Jacuzzi Beach villas, but by prior call you can have breakfast or lunch in any of the island's restaurants. You can only dine in your own.
In addition, the island has 2 swimming pools (in the center of the island, where the main life is, and in the east), 8 different bars, including those by the pools, a golf club (! ), a football field, a diving center, a clinic, a gym, several shops with clothes and souvenirs.
ENTERTAINMENT
The main events were held in a bar called Babuna-bar (center of the island), every evening there is a new program - Maldives Night, Euro Disco, Cocktail Party, Magic Show, Crab Race (! ) etc.
In another bar, next to which is the main reception, Akiri, you can surf the Internet, as there is a free WI-FI network.
All life was spent in these centers.
There is also a proposal for a romantic candlelit dinner on the ocean, this service was provided by the Beach Bar, which is also in the center.
BEACH & UNDERWATER WORLD
Despite the fact that your small beach in front of the villa is assigned to you, this territory is still common and often many people can pass by, who can stop and swim in "your" territory in the same way as you can on theirs. .
A very popular place on the island at any time of the day is a spit that goes far into the ocean and is incredibly beautiful. The best photos come out on it, which is what the inhabitants of the island do almost all the time. Moreover, the spit is unique in any weather: in calm weather, beautiful islands are found on it, along which it is easy to cross to the very edge of the spit; in rough weather, the waves meeting on both sides look very beautiful, which create incredible storm pictures.
As for the underwater world of Kuredu, here it is extremely flawed, unfortunately. There is a house reef, as the locals call it, opposite the pool, which is located to the right of the pier (if you look at the island), but it is very sad. The maximum that was found there is a family of turtles, indeed, an unforgettable sight. So there’s nothing special to admire under water at Kureda, if you counted on it ...
NATURE and LIVING
The island is very green, there are a lot of flowers, plants, etc.
What is especially pleasing is that there are no mosquitoes and unpleasant midges on the island, they are constantly poisoned with special means.
But there are a lot of small lizards, crabs, birds, small rays and even small domestic sharks in the northern part that swim in the natural pool.
ROMANCE
Yes, this is definitely a place for romance, it is literally soaked in the air!
Among the services there are a lot of different events specifically for newlyweds: they can take you to a desert island, take a boat ride to other islands, arrange a romantic candlelight dinner or breakfast in bed. But the wedding pavilion for ceremonies is especially popular here, in which an unofficial wedding ceremony is held according to local traditions.
But since the white gazebo is installed permanently, many people take advantage of this and arrange their own ceremonies without bothering to pay 1700 USD. e. for the ceremony performed by the staff for those who paid for it.
PEOPLE
As mentioned above, the main contingent on the island are foreigners: French and Germans, mostly. And it's very cool! You feel real in a very civilized and cultured society.
By the way, if someone expects that they know Russian here, then I want to disappoint you: all the staff speak only ENGLISH, which is generally accepted here!
The staff is very good, helpful, polite, they are not allowed to take a tip, if you took it, you must give it to the reception. But if you do it imperceptibly, then of course they take it willingly : )
What I liked is that they respond very quickly to any problem, and at any time of the day.
In general, everything is done for vacationers, as long as they are comfortable and they do not need anything.
OTHER
I couldn't help but mention that there are 2 webcams on the island that work around the clock! One is installed in a diving center and looks at the ocean, the other is by the pool. Everything that happens on the island can be watched online at the Kuredu website ( http://www. kuredu. com/community/kuredu-island-livecam. aspx). On their website, you can fully explore all types of accommodation, a hotel map, etc.
I hope all the above information will be useful to you when planning your vacation, and I am always ready to answer any questions about this island!
Have a nice holiday!
