    I have made booking for October second week, it is end of monsoon and now hit worried about experience there if it rains. What do we expect in October period?
    Which month have you travelled there?
    Also I am planning diving course, by any chance you for contact of water sports agency at the resort island?
    I liked the video content and video quality, 10% discount was a nice one.

      I had been here in September and it was raining. October there would be rain, if you're lucky on those days there wouldn't be much rain. I had done snorkeling while it was raining, they changed the spot due to weather conditions which was frustrating. Scuba was expensive which is why I didn't go for it, If the weather isn't great don't spend so much on Scuba as they might change the location at the last minute. If weather is clear then go for it, diving is Maldives is a great experience and a life changing one 😊 Honestly, it's on your luck on a rainy day you might see a shark or on a clear day you won't see anything but go with your gut feeling. But yeah they change locations on a rainy day so choose wisely, I hope you enjoy your dive though 😊

      Hi Hardik - The resort is great, you should definitely go ahead. All inclusive package will have all the meals and alcohol included. The only thing I felt was the water villa is slightly smaller and congested so would suggest to stay in beach villa then change to water villa to experience both

    • @theBackpackBuddies100
      @theBackpackBuddies100  Рік тому +1

      You are not allowed to bring alcohol to the Maldives. If you bring any beer, spirits or wine from a duty free shop on your way to the Maldives, you have to leave them with customs at the airport and you can pick it up on the way out of the Maldives. I have not seen them sell alcohol and it's only available in these resort islands

    Nice video. I am planning for Maldives with my wife and mother. Could you kindly confirm if it would be appropriate to take my mother along? Are there any excursions/events which can be enjoyed by an elderly as well? Also, could you kindly make a video on the complete budget of your trip and your reviews about the resort. Thanks! Look forward to your reply.

      Thank you! The resort arranges for few shows similar to one in Episode 2 and one more will be seen in Episode 4. There aren't much activities for the elderly but the experience of staying in the beach and water villa is surreal. Few additional activities details are in Episode 3 which just released, please check it out. Will try and make a video on the budget and reviews, however the budget for 4 nights (2 nights in beach villa and 2 nights in water villa) is around 70 - 80k per person, all inclusive package. Its a comparatively new resort, so the prices are cheap and would suggest to go now before they make changes to plans or increase prices.

    I am planning to visit Maldives with my mother..2 nights ocean view room + 2 nights water villa in Oblu is quoted 1.65L + 5% tax.. is this price justified? Since I’m travelling with my mother who eats limited stuff wanted to know on the food options and taste for us Indians… can you share some information. Would mean a lot I’m very short on time and need to do the bookings.

    • @theBackpackBuddies100

      There is a seperate Indian cuisine, there will be South and North Indian options for all the 3 meals for all the 4 days. Seperately there is Asian cuisine as well. Price for me was justified as it was an all inclusive package all the food and drinks were included, nothing additional to spend other than the additional activities like snorkeling and scuba diving.
