Overall a relaxing trip – sure you can’t help the weather, that’s in the lap of the Gods – but it confirmed I prefer holidays with a bit more to do and see rather than just snorkel, eat and sleep. My final quote for the Maldives trip was "overrated and overpriced". We paid for four-star when their standard would only barely make three-star back here, seriously.
If you paid twice as much and stayed in one of the five-star resorts then I’m sure it would have been gorgeous – but then you should also pay the five times more and go in peak season when the weather is good. Ultimately, great for honeymooners where you can stay in your room a lot and surface to see some nice scenery, before returning to your boudoir for more activities *wink* and you're not there to do anything else.
We won’t be back – partly as I want to keep exploring new places and new cultures, partly because I think we just did all the Maldives had to offer. Would I recommend it? Only if you paid the big bucks for better, and went in the better weather. I’d offer up the islands in Fiji first.
