I actually booked two room types from Ctrip for this stay, namely a two-day water villa and a one-day deluxe beach villa.
Needless to say about hygiene, there will be no problem at this level.
Generally speaking, the service experience is relatively good once you get to the island. It would be bad if it is not as good as Male or Maafushi.
Then the room change process was much smoother than when I checked into another hotel in the Maldives where I needed to change rooms. At least there was no confusion about our situation. Apparently the hotel front desk was quite organized.
Moreover, this is one of the few hotels with a Chinese-speaking front desk, and there seems to be more than one person at the Chinese-speaking front desk. Although you may not encounter it when you need service, for some complex issues, it is more convenient if there is a Chinese-speaking front desk, and they will understand us better. need.
As for the catering part, each meal will have one or two foods that are more in line with East Asian tastes, which is not bad.
Then there are basically all the facilities that a resort island should have, but some are quite miniscule.
But the atmosphere of the water house is good. There is a sea view at the end of the bed. It has its own private swimming pool. There is its own sea next to the swimming pool. There are many aquatic creatures in it. I also saw big things when I swam in the sea. Children also like this room very much. .
In comparison, the high-end beach houses are much more ordinary. Although the rooms are also large, the TV, bathtub, and view are indeed not as good as those of the water houses, but the best thing is to experience them and feel the difference between the two.
But high-end beach houses also have advantages, that is, the bathtub atmosphere is really good, and they also have spa functions.
In addition, we should also publicly praise the water in public swimming pools, which should be completely clean.
Because I accidentally soaked two mobile phones in the swimming pool on the last day, I picked them up, disassembled them, dried them in the sun, and stuffed them into dry bags. I sent them to Huaqiang North, Shenzhen for repair.
The man who repaired the mobile phone said that the water quality of the hotel swimming pool was good, with no impurities or minerals, so there was little corrosion, and both were revitalized.
As for the shortcomings.
First, the service attitude of the receptionist at the airport was much worse. He said he didn’t know everything I asked. If I asked him to go to the hotel to ask again, he was not very unreasonable. Maybe he was not from the hotel. Human right?
Second, maybe because I went to the island at a different time, I was informed by Ctrip and the hotel that I would not arrive at the airport counter until 5:20, but the hotel asked us to wait for the boat with the passengers who landed at the airport at 6:30. .
Because we were actually waiting for people to queue up and clear customs, and we could only leave after everyone had arrived, so we had to wait for a long, long time. The airport was very hot, and we were not allowed to run around. We actually stood there for more than an hour and a half, waiting for people to come again. Waiting for the boat, I felt a little doubtful about life.
It would be nice if we didn't have to wait so long to get to the island and just make up the number of people. After all, the boat fare paid by the three of us is not cheap, so it should be enough to charter a boat.
Third, after arriving on the island, it was the routine process of collecting green tax. Even though I repeatedly reminded that the total amount of money included in the ferry ticket may not be correct, nothing unexpected happened. Sure enough, the money was wrong again, so I had to come to the front desk to handle it again the next day.
But this seems to be a common problem in the Maldives. I often miscalculate the money. This is not the first hotel I stayed in, so I just... forget it.
Fourth, although the room change process went smoothly, the first letter in English that I received about the room change was incomprehensible. The letter gave me two times, asking me to check out at 11:00, and then helping me at 13:45. Moving my luggage to the new house, does this mean I have to leave my luggage in the old house for nearly three hours? I had to take the letter and go to the front desk to confirm it again. They couldn't understand it, so they confirmed it again before replying to me.
I feel that the person who wrote the letter needs to check the rationality of the content more, but the second check-out letter in Chinese is much clearer.
Fourth, the bartender at the swimming pool didn’t have much patience. There was a saying when bartending that I didn’t understand. I didn’t know that I had to order soda to go with the wine I ordered, so I didn’t understand why I had to add something. I had to confirm again and again. After a few times, the bartender showed an obviously displeased expression, and his unhappiness was really written all over his face.
Later I found out that it was time for him to change his shift and get off work, so he was anxious.
Fifth, when I stayed in the overwater bungalow, I actually drank a can of Coke from the minibar. The night before I left the high-end beach house, I received a Chinese letter asking me to go to the front desk to check out.
As a result, when I checked out, the bill I was given did not include this amount. I took the initiative to talk about the Coke in the minibar. The front desk said that the bill would not come out until the next day before taking the boat. I said okay, then I will get it the next day. Come to knot.
Then I was wondering if the money would not be calculated in their bill at all. As expected, the bill could not be paid out the next day. I also emphasized again that I drank Coke, but the front desk could not find the record, so I had no plans to do so anyway. Received.
Okay, I'll just treat it like a hotel and treat me to a Coke.
