How to get by plane to Male, there you will be met by a person who gathers a group at Sun Island Resort. We were gathered in about 15-20 minutes. The person then leads the group to check-in at the domestic airlines lounge. Everything is fast there, too, the ATR-400 plane seems to be in flight for 30 minutes, and you are on a neighboring island from Sun Island. There you are met, your luggage is accepted (then you will receive it only at the hotel), and the bus is taken to the boat. The boat takes 10 minutes, and you are on the island with the whole group. There is no need to rush to the reception before others - when you come to the hall, there will be questionnaires and pens on all the tables. Then your guide sits down at each table, distributes the island cactus (1 * 1.5 km island) and explains where and what is located, it takes 15 minutes. At first everything seems complicated, but if you are not too lazy and the first evening before sunset (it gets light here at 6 and darkens at 6, in the morning and evening, respectively), devote to bypassing the island, then the next day you will be like a fish in water.
For food - four basic bases - healthy food, incl. gluten free, some Chinese, Indian and European food. For fish - white fish, some squid, tuna. For meat - there is no pork, it is forbidden to import, chicken, beef, good lamb. The selection of pasta is great. Vegetables in Chinese tradition. There are many fruits - avocado, mango, watermelon, melon, pineapple. The food is delicious, you can always find something new. Fruit shots, for example . There are original cheeses - for example, with cumin . Edam, maasdam, gorgonzola, camembert - generally okay.
In addition to the main one, there is also an Italian restaurant, there are also lobsters 140 usd per 1 kg, and a Thai one. For an amateur.
By the numbers - we have a bungalow on the beach. Highly recommend! There is a lot of shadow, it is not superfluous here. There are almost no people on the beach in front of the bungalow, everything is quiet and peaceful. The beach is cleaned every day with a rake at about 7 am.
On mosquitoes - they are here! Do not be lazy and take a repellent from home with you, the nights will be quieter.
Rooms are clean, cleaned daily. The sockets are not European, but at the reception at your request they will give as much as needed. There are only 3 sockets in the room, but the adapters are also tees. Should be enough for everything.
For entertainment - at the reception there are stands with programs for the coming days - festivals, discos, dances, aerobics, etc. Free ones are marked in yellow, paid ones - in red. The programs are varied, you will not get bored.
At 18.00, near the bungalow on the water shoy - feeding stingrays and a little further - sharks (they are small, 0.5 m, they are afraid of people, but they approach the shore near our bungalow in the western part for trifles three meters from the shore) .
Sports - I run every morning from 6.15 to 7. Run around the whole island - 5 km. I try to catch the sunrise, until I can't wake up by sunrise at 6 in the morning . There is a golf course, football, volleyball. Indoor badminton, tennis, squash, snooker, carom on the floor. Everything is free.
Bicycles - grandfather's, 6 usd per day. Many people use them to avoid walking around the island on foot, lazy people . For me, it's better to take a walk, although I myself really like cycling, at home the road bumper misses.
Swimming - the water is perfect, but the current is strong in places. The pool is not very big, with a bar . Cocktails are the most unpretentious on olincclusive. Beer - Budweiser, Carlsberg, Estrella, and some local. The wine is homemade, light.
There is also a botanical garden, where you can pick any herb for lunch in their own restaurant, and they will immediately cook it. Chickens lay eggs in the same place.
Fishing / snorkeling - there are no beautiful reefs around the island, you have to go by boat. Fishing is in the morning and in the evening, there are 5-7 excursions.
Overall, I rate this hotel as one of the best I have ever visited for the following reasons
1. The area is large;
2. The menu is good;
3. Many programs;
4. Sports are good;
5. The staff is very well educated, there are a couple of Russian-speaking girls.
Disadvantages:
1. It's a long way to get there, but you can't do anything;
2. Anything for the money is quite expensive here.
Overall I recommend. Enjoy your stay!
