It rained in June. First at lunchtime, at night. Then they became impudent and began to pour at the most excellent hours for sunbathing and swimming. They say that it is better to go to the Maldives from September to December. , these tropical rains. A strong wind, palm trees are swaying, pouring, nothing is visible. It seems that now the roof will be torn off the bungalow and carried away by a wave into the endless waters.
Despite the weather, sometimes it was possible to sunbathe, you can always swim in general, even in the rain. The pools are good. Especially for children, with a large fountain ball in the center. Towels are given here or you can take green ones in the room. there were enough places, because there were few people.
In general, from the public - mostly Chinese-Japanese (wonderful-s-s) or veiled women with children or husbands.

The Maldivians themselves are a copy of the Muscovites: they don’t smile, they do everything through force - it’s hard for them, you know, to work in principle. Then these tourists come in large numbers, serve them, you understand.
We came here directly from Sri Lanka. The monstrous difference with smiling (really, from the heart) and efficient Sri Lankans at first plunged me into a small stop, but then I relaxed and stopped paying attention to them.
On the territory there is a diving club, bars, a children's club. Foreign mothers left children for a long time, even babies. But the club is not bad.
Nobody diligently engaged in sports from tourists, although there are many things for this business.
Well, how can you sit in the sports center if there is this amazing white sand and an empty beach right at the exit from the room? ! You just take a mug of coffee, you leave your house, and after 3 steps - sun loungers, sand, sea...
Personally, I, a mother with two small children and a grandmother, was not bored. My husband got bored at the end, but I think he missed diving. There is entertainment. Crab races for children are very cool, you can experience adrenaline. also fun - the choice of songs for Russians - both adults and children - is huge. My daughter was heard all over the island.
The food is normal. You have to buy water in the restaurant. Therefore, when they bring you here on a boat and offer you bottled water, take more. They also provide water in the rooms.
The souvenir shop pleases with its variety of goods and indecently high prices for them. But, if you really want something, you can take something with you as a keepsake. Painted coconuts and artists sitting right in the store who paint you or your child with such masterpieces are impressive, right sorry to wash afterwards.
Finally, I’ll write about the main problem of rest on the island - MOSQUITOES!!!!! ! For 5 days they ate me up. Small, nasty, nasty. You can’t hear them at night. feet, hands. Smudges don’t save them. They don’t give out all kinds of fumitoxes at night. But they fly, apparently from the bathroom, where there is no glass in the windows. It was not always possible to close the doors.
Ask questions, do not be shy. Anna.
