Matkat – Nalaguraidhoo

We stayed two weeks in Malahini Kuda Bandos in a Garden Room. The room was nice. The cleaning was ok also, but sometimes we had to ask from the reception for towels etc and the cleaning times were unpredictable. The island is small and closeness to Male is both a good thing (transfer times) and a bad thing (lots of trafic and the view to Hulhumale was not great). The sand on the island has shifted almost totally to the other side of the island where the main beach is located, so some of the pictures I had seen before weren't accurate anymore, but we actually enjoyed the small area near Bar75 more than the big beach. Also the bar was much better than the big bar on the main beach, where the drinks weren't good and service wasn't great either. But in Bar75 Harsha made great drinks and was very nice and provided excellent service. Food in main restaurant was great and the guys working behind the "Live food" counter were always nice and smiling, so were the waiters. We had half board and the drinks, especially a bottle of wine, was really expensive and I felt that the island was more expensive to for example Sun Island Villa Resort, where I've been many times. For the room we got a good deal from Expedia. The weather wasn't great and it was very cloudy and windy almost all the time, so we didn't do any excursions and did very little snorkeling.

Noin 10 minuutin venematkan päässä lentokentältä. Huoneet erittäin siistit ja jokaisella omat henkilökohtaiset rantatuolit joten ei tarvitse varailla. Huoneessa kiva ulkosuihku myös. Ruoka oli erinomaista ja joka päivä erilaista. All inclusivessa myös pitkä lista erimaalaisia viinejä ja drinkkejä ja muita juomia. Myös tunnettuja merkkejä eikä pelkästään paikallista. Jotkin merkit lisähintaan. Aivan loistava henkilökunta kaikin puolin. Ainoana miinuksena ehkä se, että superior huoneet ovat Malen kaupungin puolella saarta ja kaupungin siluetti näkyy taustalla. Jos haluaa enempi katsella pelkkää merta niin kannattaa valita bungalow saaren toisella puolella. Itseä tämä ei haitannut. Hotellin ympärillä upeat riutat snorklaukseen.

Water villa w/ jacuzzi was an excellent choise. The staff was very helpful and we enjoyed relaxing athmosphere in the island.
