    I absolutely love your narration, it is so professional and informative. Keep up the excellent work. Your narration is crisp, clear and perfectly modulated. Don't stop at RUclips vlogs, you can do narrations for documentaries. All the very best. By-the-way the food and the 6 o'clock Sting Ray parade at the particular the Maldives resort you stayed at are fabulous reasons to visit the islands.

    That was hilarious. I have been to the Maldives 4 times and returning again in November. You are so right on many levels. As for the restaurants and food....I couldn’t have said it better myself. I have to go on a mass diet before going just so I can eat all that’s on offer. Great video. Enjoyed it very much. You have a talent for narration

    Great video here. I've been to the Maldives 5 times and stayed at Gili Lankanfushi (which was very expensive). Reethi, Paradise Island Resort, Meeru Island Resort and Baros - all of them were fantastic. I do agree it is only a beach holiday but yes I did see herons, reef sharks, dolphins, small lizards, crabs, starfish and stingrays without any snorkelling. Snorkelling is a must do in The Maldives, which I did but beware of the lionfish (and yep I've seen turtles, different tropical fishes and an octopus while snorkelling). Some resorts do Island Hopping Tours, Sunset Cruises, Trips to Exclusive Islands owned by the resort you are staying. Watersports like Jet skiing and Parasailing are good fun. I agree that water villas are the best which I stayed in on 4 of my visits, the other time I stayed was in a beach villa. A day trip to Male is also worth doing as well. I'm glad you did another video regarding budget because there are affordable resorts in The Maldives but it depends on the time of season you go. Best time is usually January until April but that's when it is the most expensive - however during these times you can still find affordable resorts. On one time I've been to The Maldives I did combine this with Sri Lanka which is close by which I recommend travellers to do if you can afford to do so. I'll look at your Budget video of The Maldives and see what I could add from my experience

      @bhavikpatel5054 5 лет назад

      Suitcase Monkey thank you :) no worries thank you anyway. Just watched the 2nd video and it’s very insightful.
      I was thinking of doing Sri Lanka as well, however I might be short on time, and I’ll be travelling from Goa, as wedding is there, then head back to London after the honeymoon.
      I think I would rather come back to Sri Lanka and do a solid 2 weeks or more, rather than a week, as I think a shorter time in Maldives is more justifiable, considering my time factor and honeymoon experience.

      Thanks. I’m working on that at the moment. It’s more a review of our resort with some money tips thrown in. I guess Maldives and budget never belong in the same sentence though. It is always going to be expensive but good to pass on a few ways we managed money on the trip. Thanks again.
