This is perfect. This is the kind of over water villa ive been looking for. Gonna save money to go there

[@lovelifeandtravels.]

The food looks amazing. I love it.

[@explorewithmartha6297]

Wowww amazing😍

[@BevandRyan]

Great video! Hopefully the points don't change too much for this property after Marriott's changes at the end of this month and we'll still have a chance to go at a decent rate in the future :(

[@anwerabdallah569]

its just amazing how the generators are producing continues 24hrs electricity to the whole resort. the sea water treatment facility. how much amount of diesel they use per day. its just amazing. its very expensive.

[@colleensmith3374]

nice job... well done!

[@OK-Travels]

Nice video! Do you mind sharing what kind of drone you have for filming? Would love to get one.

[@DiversifiedDiversions]

Glad you liked it! This was a DJI Mavic Mini.

[@OK-Travels]

@@DiversifiedDiversionsthank u! Also i am trying to fly a drone by our villa in the future and the policy states that drones a strictly prohibited? Did u just ask them and they gave u permission? Thank you

[@DiversifiedDiversions]

This was filmed when the resort was brand new and before they had that policy in place. Just got lucky on the timing of the visit.

[@OK-Travels]

@@DiversifiedDiversionsgotcha! Beautiful shots either way

[@tehzib07]

Is the sea-plane ride included when you book a room in the resort or do you have to book that extra?

[@DiversifiedDiversions]

The seaplane transfer is not included in the room rate, but it is arranged by the hotel. After booking they will contact you to get your arrival information and set everything up! The Le Meridien website also has some info about the transfer.

[@tehzib07]

Thank you 😊

[@fahtender]

Great video!! What is the week stay deal you mentioned? Where you got that if I may ask?

[@DiversifiedDiversions]

Thanks! This was an award stay at 120k points for 5 nights (30k/night then 5th night free) . It was an amazing rate that became available shortly after the resort first opened up for bookings last spring. Likely not available anymore, but worth checking every so often!

[@fahtender]

@@DiversifiedDiversions thank you so much for the info! I can see they still offer but very few. Thanks again!

[@ismashU]

What month did you visit and how was the weather like? I heard that Dec - April is the good dry season but saw you posted this vid in Nov!

[@DiversifiedDiversions]

This was filmed in mid-September 2021! Our friends got there on Sept 8 and were there for a week. The temperature was low of 81 and high of 84 the whole time. It rained twice while they were there, pretty heavy rain, but blew in and out really quickly. So pretty much still perfect! 😎

Some say going to this island is impossible, but nothing is impossible if you have money

[@darrencorgan]

coool, i had a good time too, but problem with HR director Uday Nayak

[@mengchuolee131]

Hi, I just made a reservation for this resort! What are the requirements to travel to Maldives right now? Do I need insurance or Covid test? Tks

[@DiversifiedDiversions]

Fun, you'll have to tell us how you enjoyed it after you go! I would check out this website for the latest information: www.tourism.gov.mv/en/page/updates_on_the_covid_19_situation_in_the_maldives

[@MJayBaku]

Yes, Covid test reports and Health declaration at Imuga portal

[@nour6157]

I just made a reservation as well for beach bungalow, any advice please ?

[@mikechristan3660]

Did they let you fly your own drone?

[@DiversifiedDiversions]

At the time, yes. This was filmed when they had just opened but I've heard from people who have been recently that it's not allowed anymore. 😥

[@anwerabdallah569]

how much it cost to stay in one of these villas per night.

[@DiversifiedDiversions]

This stay was booked on points just after the property opened, and was a great deal! The best bet for finding current rates is directly on the property website or at Marriott.com as they are part of the Marriott family.

at 2:01 "staff had delivered 'macarons'? , do mean in English Macaroons? (Chewy cookie usually containing almond paste) , please update audio.

[@cocovi]

It's relatively dated

[@TanFromAus]

I thought so too - I was expecting it to be a bit more modern having only recently opened.
