#Maldives
#JA Manafaru (Manafaru) is measured as follows:
[Overview]
Small and medium-sized island, it takes about 20 minutes to ride a bicycle around the island, and about 25 minutes to ride a bicycle at the farthest ends. It has a wild luxury style, with good vegetation, beaches and other environments, and perfectly achieves the harmony between man and nature. This island is far away from Male, and it can almost be regarded as the northernmost island in the Maldives. It takes 90 minutes to get there by seaplane from Male.
[Food]
This island is nicknamed "Dry Rice Island" by Chinese people, and the products are basically impeccable. There are 5 restaurants on the island, including breakfast + barbecue restaurant (main restaurant), seafood barbecue restaurant (three-course), White Orchid Restaurant (Chinese style), Italian restaurant, and wine cellar restaurant (over 3,000 bottles of wine, currently the wine king is about 12WRMB per bottle). The barbecue products are great, especially tiger shrimps, and the barbecue restaurant can satisfy your hunger. Because we went to the White Orchid Restaurant on the first day of the Chinese New Year, the menu for the whole venue that night was "Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner". The products are first-class! The free ice cream bar in the afternoon has a mango flavor that is very rich and tastes amazing! Breakfast is in the form of "self-service + ordering", and there are many items to order, including English, Arabic, Indian, Chinese noodles/porridge, and Spanish.
[Entertainment]
Because it is a small and medium-sized island, there are no super-large projects, but it is enough for ordinary tourists. Non-powered paddle boards, pedal boats, windsurfing, motorboats... SPA is also a traditional Maldivian method, using coconut essential oil. It is not amazing, but it is also impeccable.
[Water conditions and diving]
Because this island is wild and luxurious, it is "more fun but not very good-looking". The previous article wrote the reason that "fun is not good-looking, and good-looking is not fun". There are two good diving spots on the island (the butler will give suggestions). The water depth at the entry point is more than 10 meters, the permeability is very good, and the bottom corals are in full view. Those who are afraid of water can borrow life jackets to wear, because the snorkeling point is next to the pier, and there is a security booth, which is actually very safe. In addition to attracting schools of fish, sharks also come to check in on time at night (see Figure 7 for details).
[Summary]
There are 88 villas on this island, half of which are water and half are sand. There are less than 200 tourists at full capacity, but the island is equipped with 300+ staff members, which can basically provide 2:1 service when tourists are dissatisfied. This island is only equipped with one Chinese housekeeper, Linda, and the service is first-class! There is also a restaurant service staff, Nizam, who is also first-class, thumbs up! ! ! Because there are few tourists on this island (even fewer Chinese tourists). The occupancy rate during the Spring Festival holiday is about 60%, and there are only 3 Chinese tourists. I personally think that this island is a seriously underestimated value depression. Although there are few Chinese people, almost all service staff can speak a few words of Chinese, and the Internet celebrity service staff "Zhang Fei" is even famous in many Maldivian circles in China. Because the service ratio is high, the timeliness of the service will be very good, and some small problems can be solved quickly and efficiently.
The staff of the off-island service, MubbE, is also very good, so the service review gives the hotel a five-star rating!
【Tips】
1. You can see groups of sharks at the end of the pier at night. You must go there. It is a very unique experience. It is between 22:30-23:00 local time.
2. Because of the wild luxury style, the wood products are not polished finely enough. Families with children should ask their children not to touch them randomly, as they may get stabbed by sawdust (Eason was hit 3 times).
3. The water houses are divided into 2-digit and 5-digit houses. The 5-digit houses are closer to the service area, and the 2-digit houses have better snorkeling conditions.
4. This island is highly recommended for friends who like quiet, relaxing and feeling nature. But friends who like lively and exciting projects are not recommended for this island. The 4G signal on this island is very weak, and there is only Wi-Fi signal in places with buildings (the wifi in restaurants and rooms is also average). It is equivalent to forcing you to put down your mobile phone and truly feel "man and nature". The beaches on the island are polarized. You can already get "pink sand" on the beach, but the sand on the island is not very fine. You may feel pricked if you walk barefoot on the island (flip-flops are provided on the island).
