馬爾地夫是個非常的好玩國家也值得推薦給大家玩玩看吧

[@sarah-yc5yd]

Thank you, dear. It is comprehensive coverage. I made a reservation in advance to stay with them in April, but unfortunately the menu is small and there are no coral reefs and fish in abundance.

[@valerieselau7384]

So stunning and beautiful. That 5 star luxury hotel and resort looks beautiful as it looks. ❤

[@marileigiordani9369]

我覺得他們家的游泳池很小一個但是住的房間其實很不錯也值得考慮一下

[@kyosei-jy9qq]

素晴らしい🎉行って見たい❤

[@WattsupVideo]

This is the most detailed review I have ever seen on the internet. Excellent job. Quick question.. I noticed for the overwater villas you can book ocean or lagoon view. On your resort map, everything seems to be ocean. Do you have any comments on the differences?

[@luxurytravelmaster]

Ocean Villa and Lagoon Villa have different room directions. Ocean villas face outward from the resort, while lagoon villas face inward from the resort.

[@ulitkabob7567]

Красиво, стильно. Как большой арт обьект

[@user-lq4sc3zf2b]

請問一下so/的馬爾地夫可以在水上屋泳池吃早餐嗎

[@user-lq4sc3zf2b]

原來也有飄浮早餐

[@FreeSpeechWarrior]

To go there without your girlfriend seems a rather lonely affair. That would be the perfect place to lounge around and be intimate with your special someone. Such a quiet and lovely place.

[@lyricsandmoodsongs]

I am manifesting that I’ll be able to visit that resort not later than next year 😊

[@kosterkoster3990]

Сделай это дружище, оно того стоит! ✊

[@gregcollier9859]

I think I would prefer the beach villa over the water villa😊😊😊

[@rroycbls]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@sabufinisher]

what a great review. regarding the room what has better view lagoon or ocean overwater villa?

[@luxurytravelmaster]

Personally, I don't think it's that different, but you can see a more beautiful sunrise or sunset with an ocean overwater villa. Also, ocean overwater villas are more expensive than lagoon overwater villas.

[@jeffbaydalmusic6851]

This 5 star luxury resort rather looked unique compared to its rival 5 star resorts in the maldives.

Hope I will win from Qatar Airways competition 5 nigts 🤗 I watched your other videos from the Maldives and this hotel is my number 1. Thank you for making me feel like I was on vacation, sitting in the room in terrible rainy weather

[@MyNewLV]

Was the 4 glass bottles of drinking water complimentary? Did they refill it daily for you? Do you recall if they provided you with a water canteen/water bottle to use around the resort, bug spray, and sunblock? Did you use the boat transfer to the Marina?

[@luxurytravelmaster]

Four glass bottles of drinking water are complimentary. They didn't provide insect repellent spray or water bottles, but if you ask the staff, they might be able to lend you one.

[@CourtsThoughts]

Accomodation reminds me of those old school demountable buildings

[@user-gz6nx5qx3b]

안녕하세요!ㅎㅎ 혹시 리조트 어떻게 예약하셨나요?!

[@iuzlinux]

Can you provide me with the name of the application you were using for the menus/drinks/etc? Id like to take a look. Thanks

[@luxurytravelmaster]

The tablet with drink and meal menus is from the resort, so it's unclear what application they use.

[@angelay4782]

안녕하세요~ 스피드보트 요금에 대한건 다른 어디에서도 찾아볼수가 없어서요 ㅠ 혹시 따로 요금이 차지될까요?

[@luxurytravelmaster]

공항에서 리조트까지 왕복 200달러(세금 별도, 성인 1인당), 100달러(세금 별도, 어린이 1인당)입니다. Round trip from the airport to the resort is $200 NET (per adult), $100 NET (per child).

[@shenren1]

For included meals, does it come with drinks such as coffee, tea, juices as well?

[@luxurytravelmaster]

Yes

[@laj121381]

I have a question what’s the difference in view of a lagoon over water vs ocean. Also is the full board worth the price of going half board and buying lunch here and there

[@luxurytravelmaster]

Ocean villas basically have a view of only the ocean in front of the deck of the room, while lagoon villas have a view of the land of the island. However, even at the ocean villa location, you may see other resorts diagonally in front. I'm a picky eater so half board was enough for me. If you're a big eater, a full board might be better.

[@franciskt4171]

For that tariff, they shouldn't be charging for the bottles...😊

[@user-ye2yy5mm1c]

HI LUXURY MASTER may i know which resort is better SO / MALDIVES OR Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives

[@luxurytravelmaster]

From what I saw on the website, SO/ seems to be better for villas and restaurants. On the other hand, house reefs appear to be more abundant in Cinnamon Velifushi. Overall, it's hard to say which one is better, depending on what your purpose is for your stay.

[@billc6762]

What if the bathtub overflow?

[@t.j.2980]

How do you booking it. With Amexs, so free breakfast?

[@luxurytravelmaster]

I made a reservation for the half board plan (breakfast included) from SO/ Maldives' official website. After completing my reservation, the resort sent me a payment link. I don't remember if Amex can be used for payment. VISA was accepted.

[@feishen5803]

这家新开的贵很多吗？

[@howardhetflejs3266]

Thanks for the video. I was expecting more from SO Too many colors can look cheap. Prefer the le meridien if you looking for French Riviera style hotel as Sofitel should also be French chic

[@oomijungsreshthatat5338]

The rays in this video called string ray not manta rays.

[@sebastienlabrie6532]

Prices on the menu are in USD? Exemple for lunch

[@luxurytravelmaster]

Menu prices are in USD

[@giyoungkim8169]

How much did u pay for speedboat from airport to hotel?

[@luxurytravelmaster]

Round trip from the airport to the resort is $200 NET (per adult), $100 NET (per child).

[@user-yz2iz2ed1x]

Привет всем! Меня смущает летний душ на террасе. Намылишься и вся пенная вода в море! Там и рыбки и скаты плавают!! Как насчёт беречь природу???!!!!!!

[@kosterkoster3990]

Тут всё не об этом землячек, рыбам тоже немного заплатят, за неудобство.

This is one of my favorite channel. It always makes my week complete! 😊 Despite the economic downturn, I still manage to earn $25,000 weekly from my investment of $3,500 ..God bless expert Michael Allen

[@doroteasilva]

HOW! I would really appreciate if you show me how to go about it. Please can you list the platforms ?

[@janetfreeman2300]

Same here, I started with $3,000 now earning $28,300 bi-weekly profits with his trading program. He's really amazing i still cannot believe someone can be this exceptional when it comes to Bitcoin activities.

[@jonathandyes]

I’m from the UK 🇬🇧 I’ve been trading with Mr Michael Allen for a year and he has proven to be trusted and the best broker. I strongly recommend him

[@breathless3693]

He's a great personality in the state 🇺🇸 I'm also earning from him.

[@AndreWilliams131]

I will advice you find a good crypto trader like Mr Michael Allen , that will help you through

[@diamondtraveller5803]

The Hotel is wonderful but the nature and the water is for Malediven not good.

[@PTE399]

I’m not a young person so this would not be for me. The music would drive me away.

[@anthonymorris5084]

But I thought the Maldives were sinking. Oops.

[@suewiseley2724]

sorry for that price, the bathtub is a joke.

[@edmondshum4116]

Overpriced considering the inclusivity , facilities and amenities provided.

Je ne comprend méme pas comment on a pu faire du mauvais contemporain aux Maldives ; quelle horreur que cet hotel De toutes façons quand on est aux Maldives c est pas pour passer ses journées dans sa chambre et donc le luxe intérieur .... On l a partout méme à Paris ! Quand je vois cet hotel je me dis les Maldives c est PAS çà !!!

You always have your camera tilted down. It gives a hideous viewing angle for the viewers.

overpriced and average compared to the same price
