Maldives honeymoon package
(I hope I can give some information to friends who want to go to kandooma in the near future)
1. Travel time: At 14: 4 on May 29th, the plane of Singapore will pass through Bangkok (it will take about 1 hour to wait on the plane → Colombo (I will transfer here for about 3 hours and can't leave the airport) → about 1.
Because it was a honeymoon trip, we stayed in a water view room, No.62, haha … At that time, except No.6 who was Japanese, it seemed that everyone was from China.
1. Multi-purpose plugs: there are two spare plugs in the hotel room, which are basically enough.
2. After applying for international roaming, you can call back to China at the hotel, about 6 yuan/minute.
3. The room has wireless broadband, which is free for 3 days. Just ask the front desk for the login ID and password when you check in. There is a library and Internet access on the second floor of the hotel lobby.
4. The check-out time is generally before 12 noon, which can be postponed to 2 pm. Leave it outside the room on the way back, and a waiter will transport it to the ship.
5. The hotel has a map of the island to collect, and provides four postcard for free. You can ask the hotel to help you post them when you check out.
6. About tipping: airport pick-up, front desk reception, after-dinner waiter, room cleaning and salute porter
7. Coffee and tea in the mini bar in the room are free, and there are big blue bags in the room for free use
8. We ordered a half-package meal, breakfast+dinner, because we may play outside at noon, and we may not be able to have lunch. That's a good choice. Breakfast and dinner are buffet-style, with western food as well as Indonesian and local meals. Fried eggs, boiled eggs and porridge for breakfast are similar to Chinese food, except that rice is not very delicious. There is bacon to eat, too. The local pineapples and mangoes are very delicious. You must try them.
9. water sport center needs to make an appointment one day in advance to register for all the games, and all of them need to be paid at our own expense: we were recommended to play sunset cruise, night fish and Snorkeling, and all of them felt good. We saw dolphins, caught many beautiful fish and went to two beautiful and quiet islands. Pay attention to the fact that there is no service charge except for the project cost. Snacks and drinks will be prepared on the boat, and 1-2 dollars will be paid to the waiter after the end. The staff in the service center are very enthusiastic, and the team leader is called Northeast, and they always give us water and coke, haha … a little embarrassed!
1. snorkeling goggles, breathing tubes and flippers are free to use in the water center. We bought a face mirror and a straw in Decathlon before we went. If we don't want to use a common breathing tube, we can consider buying a set in Decathlon. We bought the breathing tube from 89 yuan. Actually, the 29 model is enough.
11. the fish caught in the night fish can be processed and eaten in BBQ, with a price of 1g3dollar.
12. snorkeling, you can see many colorful fish, which is very interesting. For safety, the staff will let you swim in the pool before you go. I can't swim myself, so I spent 15dollar on a simple training. Life jackets will be put on when you really float, and the staff will follow, no problem.
13. You can watch the sunrise around 5: in the morning. From the second day of your stay, you will receive a self-made news tabloid on the island, and your food, accommodation and travel will be predicted in advance.
14. The local spa is particularly famous. It's a pity that we didn't go because of the time! But I will consider going to this island next year.
15. There are two adapter plugs in the room, six fresh oranges every day, and the water is changed for cleaning in the morning and evening. Remember to leave them on the table every day, or there will be no water at night. There are enough hangers, including two large bath towels, enough toilet paper, two life jackets, two bathrobes and two pairs of shoes. You can weigh one and one extra-large bag. If you have flippers, it's no problem. Sewing bag, cotton wool, pins, hair dryer, safe … In short, daily necessities are basically complete. Except toothpaste, toothbrush and sunscreen products, the bathroom is complete.
16. On a honeymoon, the hotel will prepare greeting cards, chocolates and champagne.
Third, things you need to bring:
1. Passport, marriage certificate, insurance card, hotel reservation form, ticket information and its copy;
2. Essential medicines: Bupleurum chinense, berberine, essential balm, mosquito repellent, tourniquet, cold medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, electronic thermometer, band-aid, Baifuning, etc.
3. Sunshade, sunglasses, electronic dictionary (friends with poor English must remember to bring it, the dictionary we brought is still of great use), a favorite book, CD (there is a charger for Philips stereo and ipod in the room), card reader, computer, camera, disc, No.5 dry battery, tripod, toothpaste and toothbrush
4. Four or five hundred US dollars in cash.

6. Sunscreen, napkins, wet tissues, combs, after-sun repair mask, lip balm, eye drops and cotton pads
7. You can bring some snacks: instant noodles, beef jerky, dried beans, candy, chocolate, etc.
Fourth, take a connecting flight in Sri Lanka:
1. There is food on every flight, but during the connecting flight in Colombo, we didn't eat until after 22: Beijing time.
2. Colombo is 2 hours later than Beijing; Maldives is three hours behind Beijing.
3. If you go shopping in duty-free shops, there is nothing to buy in Colombo. Before we came back, we went shopping in male. The hotel arranged my tour guide in male, took us to taste local food and bought some special souvenirs. Actually, it is much cheaper than the airport duty-free shop.
v. Arriving in Maldives:
1. The local currency of Maldives is rufiyaa, basically usd1＝12.75Rf, and the US dollar is universal, so there is no need to change the local currency.
2. We arrived at the airport at 1: a.m. local time, just in time for someone to pick us up at the hotel. After gathering six people, we arrived in kandooma in about 4 minutes by motorboat.
3. Ferry service from the airport to Male, with Doni boat running every ten minutes. Very convenient. When you are out of Chick, you can choose an earlier speedboat to go to the airport and then go shopping in male, the capital. There is a luggage storage office at the airport, and the fee is $3 per luggage. Going to male is usd1/ one-person return. Soon after sailing, there will be ticket sellers coming to collect fees one by one.
4. Places selling tourist souvenirs may charge US dollars, and they can also make a counter-offer.
5. Enter maldives Customs and fill in three forms: disembarkation card/arrival car Entry Card; Embarkation card/departure card exit card; Health information health certificate, exit card should be handed over to the customs on the return trip, so keep it well.
6. Places where Male can play:
1. Sudan Park (Friday Grand Mosque or Mukaru-Misk Temple): Walking around Sudan Park is a very pleasant thing. Here you can visit the White Islamic Center and the largest mosque in Maldives-Friday Grand Mosque. The magnificent dome of the Grand Mosque is a beautiful landscape in Male (there are nearly 2 mosques in Male with different sizes). But be careful not to wear shoes on the white steps, and wash your feet. Both men and women need long clothes and trousers.
2. The Mukalu-Misk Temple, the oldest Muslim temple in the area, is a place worth visiting. The exquisite stone carvings here are very famous. There is a stone plate carved in the 13th century to commemorate the introduction of Islam into Maldives. Outside the temple, there is a cemetery where Abu Barakat was buried and a tombstone of the former Sultan. Muslim temple, built in 1667.
3. National Museum, where some exhibits about Sudan and Thor heyerdahl's exploration and archaeological discoveries are displayed.
4. the Presidential Palace
5. Shopping Singapore Market: This is a shopping market where many merchants gather. High-end handicrafts and all kinds of Maldivian local goods and souvenirs are dazzling, which is a good place for tourists to visit and shop. There are also some grocery stores that sell household items, water sports equipment, fishing equipment and serve villagers in nearby villages. Tired of walking, tourists can also rest and chat in the small tea room here while tasting small refreshments.
6、Islamic Centre；
7、Local market/fish market；
The whole city is very small, and there are many motorcycles. They drive on the left and drive very fast. Everyone must pay attention to safety.
We took part in the free travel of a travel agency, with a deposit of 1, yuan per person, and a deposit of 2 dolla for both of us when we arrived, which was refunded when we checked out. Haha, it's really a beautiful place worth visiting. Before I came back, I spent 175 days shopping in male, and bought some things at the duty-free shops in Beijing Airport and Sri Lanka Airport, which basically cost nothing.
finally, I wish you all a pleasant trip!
