Just have a look I wouldn’t recommend you two on going to this island though if I’m honest you’d be better off at Kuredu or something for the true authentic Maldivian experience guys 😉.

@JamesandElliesAdventures Жыл бұрын

Hey thank you for watching 😎. We were all inclusive so we didn’t notice prices for things such as the food and water but our friends were on the full board package and I know you get the bottle water in your room free and they were allowed soft drinks only with all their meals. Hope that helps 🙂

Great video! I remember I came across this resort while planning my Maldives holiday last year but then we decided to go for Kuredo islands since your videos really convinced us eheh which one did you like the most Kuredo resort or Cocoon You and Me resort?

@JamesandElliesAdventures 2 жыл бұрын

Hello 👋🏻 🙂 the only good thing about this resort I’d say we both do is the food if you could take that to Kuredu it would be perfect. This island doesn’t have great photo spots like Kuredu either or nice long walks. We prefer Kuredu so far though 😍 you’ve made a good choice so don’t worry after we left reviews went down hill as staff weren’t doing great apparently with waiter service etc🤷🏼‍♂️. Keep your eyes peeled for Julys videos from us 😉

@@JamesandElliesAdventures thanks for the reply. I'm not sure why I'm so apprehensive ? I thinks it just a real big thing for us being our 10th wedding anniversary and worried about weather I didn't realise when I booked it was rainy season but I'm sure we will love it 👍🏻

Honestly don’t be you’ll have the most amazing time. We went to you & me in December when the weather is supposed to be good but the weather was pants for a good part of the holiday and we still had an amazing time. One of the locals said they had better weather July/august last year compared to the weather they had in December. The weather is so random all over the world at the moment. You’ll have the best time 🥰

Hey , we I am going here in November i can’t wait , amazing video . Will I need much spending money wise we don’t plan doing too much as it’s just for chill , so all drinks during the day are all inclusive and the lunch foods . Obviously need to book the Italian one at night etc as it can be busy .

@JamesandElliesAdventures Жыл бұрын

Hello, thank you for watching :) and how exciting November will be here before you know it :) No if you plan on just chilling and not doing any of the excursions or spa etc then you won’t need much spending money at all. I would say take some small dollar bills in cash for tipping. It’s not mandatory to tip but they really appreciate it and the service is brilliant :) Yes defo get the Italian and rising sun booked in with your host once your on the island. Other than that I hope you have an amazing time :)

I will defo book them watched your videos and looks fab , so the breakfast etc is obviously walk in and all inclusive, I am nervous as this is a total different holiday to us and even though it’s all inclusive I don’t want to eat and they say you need to pay etc just so I know exactly what we doing . It’s coming in so fast eeek nervous

@JamesandElliesAdventures Жыл бұрын

Your welcome :) yes so if you’ve booked all inclusive then you’ll get breakfast, lunch and dinner and all of your drinks. There are some extra charges for certain food/drink items but if in doubt just ask your waiter/waitress that’s what we done as we didn’t want to get stung. It’s usually things like lobster etc. you’ll have a fab time :)

@JamesandElliesAdventures Жыл бұрын

Hey 👋🏻 firstly thank you so much for watching. So we recommend a trip to tsunami island you get to go to a nice small private island to snorkel which you must do in chicken when it comes to swimming and stuff but the reef is so good close to shore and you may get a chance to see dolphins too. You can do a sunset cruise but ours was more like a Prosecco cruise bobbing around the Indian Ocean. I’m not sure what else they offer here if I’m honest 🤷🏼‍♂️ just make sure you reserve the Italian and tepinyaki restaurant as much as you can 🤤 foods to die for and I wouldn’t recommend wasting $255 each on their underwater restaurant either our friends did it and they were mega disappointed with it for how much it costs. If you want to do that I recommend another trip to Kuredu island in the Maldives to their sister island 15 min speedboat away to the 5.8 undersea restaurant (we’ve done a video in this check it out) Hope this helps and you’ll have an amazing time very envious 😍

Hello yea it is available we chose not to go just as we went to the 5.8 at Hurawahli and it costs the same price our friends went and they didn’t particularly like it they felt extremely underwhelmed for their first experience in an under water restaurant. It’s costs around $225/$250 pp my advice is save your money and spend on something better for yourself honestly 😀 hope this helps 🙂
