      Hi Anirban, to be honest with you, we did not order anything except Pizza, which was medium in size and costed about 2100 INR. The buffet lunch/dinner was priced at 80 USD (very costly in my humble opinion). We were carrying ready to eat food with us.
      This link will give you some idea about the prices in Holiday Inn-

      To answer you 1st question, you should only book 2 nights in each resort if you are an explorer kind or else you should stick to one resort only. For the 2nd questions, don't add activities in advance just go to the resort and then decide what you want to do. If you don't have budget constraints ( Meals at resort are really costly), you may opt for half board ( Breakfast & Lunch/Dinner). If you want to save some money on meal watch my 4th video in this series. If you have some time during transit you can go to Male or else you can totally skip it.

      It was not a package, I booked Flights, Resorts & transfers separately. If you watch all the 4 videos. You will have more clarity.
