Ani· March 5th, 2020I don’t think I got my money’s worth, the only good thing was our guide, reefs and warm ocean. Let’s talk about hotels that we had to stay in four different islands they all were miserable cheap hotels some of them we had to get in from a dark alley, even we requested hand soap never received it from any of the motels they can not possibly be more than $30 a night We only went to cafes never a decent restaurant. The last island we went was Gulhi I still don’t know why we were there, absolutely nothing to do no reef no snorkeling all we did stay in the motel. THE ONLY ISLAND I WILL RECOMMEND IS MAAFUJI. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY IN ANY OTHER ISLANDS. ANY CARIBBEAN ISLAND HAS WHAT MALDIVES HAS MINUS 72% HUMIDITYShow more
