I successfully chose the Maldives Gem Island, which I would like to call the 'No Return Without Drunkenness' Hotel
I really didn't expect to pick this treasure of a hotel correctly. When the agent recommended it to me, I didn't find it appealing. The previous hotels I visited like The Ritz-Carlton, Jumeirah, Milaidhoo, and Soneva Fushi all had a completely different style of decoration compared to Gem Island. Initially, my budget wasn't sufficient, and I thought about settling for another visit to Naladhu, which is also quite worth it now 🧐. But in the end, I decided to take the advice, and thankfully I did, as I feel this choice was really worth it~ hhhh
The all-inclusive price includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks. The main restaurant has a Chinese chef, and the soup noodles are delicious. I heard there's also Peking duck in the evening, but I always ordered from other restaurants at night. It was only when I was leaving that the butler told me about it, what a loss~
From 12 pm to 6 pm, you can also have pizza and drinks at the bar by the main pool.
The starry sky pool by the Ocean Suite is absolutely amazing. After the bar closes at 7 pm, the small lights at the bottom of the pool light up, looking like a sky full of stars.
The Ocean Suite is simply a paradise for wine lovers, with the mini-bar replenished twice daily, stocked with wine, whiskey, soft drinks, and snacks. There's no need to go to the bar; you can drink to your heart's content in the room 😍
I also quite like their bath products, which are from the British niche brand elemis. A few years ago, when I went to Milaidhoo, their spa used this brand.
The snorkeling near the jetty by the Sand Villa is really good, with small waves, shallow water, high visibility, and lots of fish. The sand is fine and soft. It's just a pity that I forgot to take off my earrings before snorkeling and lost one 😭😭. I'll consider it a gift for the fish~~
I booked 2 Standard Sand Villas and 2 Ocean Suites, plus round-trip airfare, for 25k per person, which feels quite nice~
