Gerald Reinhold Review of Paradise Island Resort & Spa M...
german + english
german + english
This is our 6th Maldives island. The characteristic of this island "Paradise Island" is:
Superior bungalow is functional and clean. Bed linen and towels are showing their age. The bungalows with the numbers 123 to 155 have a good location due to their proximity to the water.
Gas is sprayed against insects almost every day between 9: 30-10: 00 a.m. when you are lying on the lounger in front of the bungalow. The sprayer wears a respirator and sprays around the unprotected guests.
Very large (900x300 m)
Concrete paths with free driving service (golf car), these cars, however, pollute the road surface due to their tire wear in this area and next to it almost to the water. I shouldn't even think about the fine dust pollution in the air. The soles of the shoes and feet are black after a few steps. Overall, the numerous golf cars, bicycles and motorbikes are a nuisance when strolling on the big island.
No barefoot island
Mediocre snorkeling
The corals are mostly broken and the fish diversity is manageable. The triggerfish are extremely aggressive here. I was attacked and bitten on 2 consecutive days.
Sea relatively shallow. Swimming is only possible on one side.
Food selection good, but nothing special.
Short distance to the airport.
Doctor / clinic available.
Staff + service + WiFi great!
I would especially like to praise the restaurant manager Mali and the waiter Manoj.
Extensive free water.
("Only") For breakfast there is free cappuccino, latte macchiato and espresso.
All other drinks are expensive ($ coke 4.50 / wine 0.2 l beer 0.3 l 7.30).
Not a single German-language TV channel.
Conclusion: no real Maldives feeling.
If you were to other Maldives islands you wouldn't name this island Paradise Island!
This is our sixth Maldives island. The characteristic of this island "Paradise Island is:
Superior bungalow is functional and sour. Bed linen and towels are outdated. The bungalows with the numbers 123 to 155 have a good location due to their proximity to the water.
Almost every day between 9: 30-10: 00 gas is sprayed against insects when you are lying on the couch in front of the bungalow. The sprayer wears a breathing mask and sprays around the unprotected guests.
Very large (900x300 m)
Concrete roads with free driving service (golf car), but these cars dirty the roadway and next to it almost to the water due to their tire abrasion in this heat. I must not think about the fine dust pollution of the air. The soles of the shoes and feet are black after a few steps. All in all, the numerous golf cars, bicycles and motorbikes disturb while walking on the big island.
No Barefoot island
