Please read all...will try and give balanced review starting with the good stuff.

Beautiful island-white sand , blue water..the stuff we all dream of when we think of island hols. Lots of fauna in the water right by the beach.....Defoe prepare to snorkel lots. Canoeing...dolphin watching..even diving...yes even you the non swimmer can go diving with instructors...great fun. We we were superior beach bungalow..which I think is the cheapest one..not sure about this. Accommodation was reasonable...but not 5 * (there are nicer looking water villas e.t.c.) ...cleaned promptly every day..bedding changed. Our deal came with full board (i would recommend this...everything is super super expensive) so enjoyed 3 buffet meals daily...lots of variety...a good attempt at international cuisine..lots of fresh veg and fruit so vegetarians and whole food plant based peeps..do not despair.
Overall...the staff are super friendly and are out to facilitate anything and everything.

On the other hand..being a tourist resort..everything comes at a price...we are not talking Maldivian Rufiya...its all in US dollars...the water sports and excursions I mentioned above are at least $10 And $40 respectively. The gift shop items are also quite pricey. To hire the snorkelling equipment also significant amount....Most things on the resort come at a price. So your final bill...in addition to what you will already have paid by the time you arrive at the Island can be quite significant...so..brace yourself and your bank acc. Btw...to be fair to Paradise Island resort, I think the "pay for everything in $US and everything is super expensive " theme is probably true for the tourist industry in the Maldives.

Finally.. if your bank acc is robust...and u are not worried about the bill...then it's a perfect Island holiday. The beauty of the Island...is worth the expense...made some wonderful memories surrounded by stunning natural beauty.
