Безмятежный отдых на Мальдивах A relaxing holiday in the Maldives

I have long dreamed of visiting the Maldives, and now everything worked out, we took a tour to this hotel, and the hotel provided us with two nights for free and a free transfer from Male airport. At first we flew on a small plane to the local Kudu airport, where we were met by a speedboat from the hotel, we got to the hotel in 30 minutes. We had a pool villa with a bathtub and outdoor shower. The pool itself is small, but there are comfortable sofas around, it's so nice to swim in the fresh water of the pool after the lagoon, drink tea on the terrace by the pool, lie on the sofas, look at the flying foxes. . . They are on the island instead of birds, birds rarely fly in, they saw a kulichka, a pair of snow-white frigates, a cormorant. . . The villa is surrounded by greenery, which I really liked, because it seemed uncomfortable to me near the water villas - the greenery was only in tubs, it was somehow bare and there was too much sun. The food at the hotel is excellent, respect to the chef, everything is very tasty, the dishes are decorated in the highest class, just a work of art! Great bar, delicious cocktails. Special thanks to the Russian-speaking managers - Shirin and Nadezhda, with our weak English it was very helpful, it was nice to talk with the girls, all questions and requests were resolved instantly. The island itself is small, you can walk around the entire island in 20-30 minutes, an excellent reef, we saw a lot of fish, small and safe reef sharks, dolphins circled the island every day, it was very interesting to snorkel, the corals are the most bizarre, fish of all colors and sizes, moreover, a large blue-green fish swam so close that you could touch it with your hand, it was not at all afraid of us! we saw flocks of squids, huge bizarre shells with molluscs, a sea of ​ ​ all kinds of crabs. The water is very pleasant, it feels silky, incredibly warm, you just don’t need warmer, and you don’t need cooler, the most comfortable. The waves were once, small, you can swim calmly, but snorkeling is worse - at low tide it can throw you on high coral, and the sand rises, visibility is worse. The weather was sunny all 14 days, except for the first day - there was light rain, cloudy. What can I say about the villa itself - everything is very convenient, there is a large TV with one Russian channel, a coffee machine, a kettle, a tablet with a charger on the table, Wi-Fi for the whole island. Two showers, one bath, dressing room and sink on both sides in the bathroom - male and female, so to speak. There is an iron and ironing board. Comfort and relaxation in everything! We had a great rest, great island, great hotel!
