LMAO I got randomly recommended this and it's like 5 yrs old 😂 still watched tho thank goodness I love travel

[@ParkerPannell]

Awesome! I am going to the Maldives this summer and I am so excited! Thanks for the tips!

[@brothersman524]

Been to Maldives 5 times at different resorts - some very expensive and some reasonably priced, and yes UK plugs which worked for me since I'm from there. The dry season is January to April - I've been there in Feb and March.

[@TheArelis56]

Thank you for this beautiful footage. This gave me a glimpse of what it would like to come there. I can't believe that there are so many negative comments! God bless you for sharing this, many of us wil never be able to experience this, so to see this is a blessing.

[@WanderingTrader]

My pleasure

[@joaoluiz1114]

As an electric/electronic and travel lover, I really enjoyed the video. I always wondered how do electric and electronics systems work in those Island resorts. Thanks for opening the door near to the entrance of the bunglow. Even had reserched a lot about it, I never find any information.

[@0715basil]

Joao Luiz his video is incorrect .. what he pointed out as an électrique générateur was the pools water pump and it’s water filter... they mostly get electricity by solar energy!

[@TheSwanlake2009]

Maldives are a dream vacation for sure! Absolutely breathtaking .

That generator is accualy water pump, and propane tank is a water filter... There is no point to have power generator in every house..

[@motivatemyself500]

[@hyfrbailey7110]

🤣🤣🤣 it’s a water pump and pressure tank. We use the same system in Bermuda. 🇧🇲🤣 “generator” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@peterstewart8310]

I don't understand the hate against the guy. I thought he did an alright review. He listed options for where to stay. Tips on the plugs and bringing drones. He spoke about things that he did and made recommendations. What more do people want?

[@hussainarif7063]

im a maldivian, and i worked in 3 resorts.. as far as i know drones are not illegal. you can fly your drones but, u cant disturb other guest by invading their privacy ( cannot be flown over other guests rooms).

[@WanderingTrader]

They are called haters Peter

[@gezzly72]

Blue sand? OMG April to November is monsoon season do your research!!!!!

[@waddey100]

Male is not the Airport Island, this is Hulemale.

[@mishkanajmee620]

For your information, the products are mostly imported. However,they are not only from India but also many other countries as well. We try to give the best quality products and services to all the tourist visiting our contry.So next time when giving out any information , I recommend cross checking the facts

[@ceilingsquid2471]

Keep making optimistic responses to comments, it gets you everywhere in life.

[@malamri424]

Taxi from airport to resort is over 250 usd per person keep that in mind

[@paulahughes8032]

Don’t know about Maldives now but you need your Part 107 sUAS license in the US with a quad that size. It’s very handy to have, yes I’m still working on mine, as you learn about wind. And relative humidity, barometric pressure, and practically everything weather related. And then you have to know a lot of actual Pilot information!

[@theazzu6901]

Chutiya h ye ego h isme

[@judechopper]

what you thought was generator is a pool pump and what you thought was a gas tank is a sand filter for the pool, sorry for the bad news.

[@motivatemyself500]

My dude was cool as hell till he pointed to the pool pump and filter and called it a genorator and a gas tank

[@WanderingTrader]

Yep don't know what any of that is but thanks for that

[@ParallaxRS]

Literally the least informed video. Wet season is April to November not the other way around. Your point about it 'not being that hot' in April is invalid as the Maldives is a nation that spans the equator, which means that the temperature year round is pretty steady, usually 28-32 celsius and never straying too far from that.

[@cleo4394]

Hello. Was there much coral? If so, approximately how much and how far out

[@ruffnutz71]

Hey , enjoyed the vid , one thing tho , when you mentioned the electricity supply to the room you opened the door and pointed to a "generator connected to a gas/propane tank" , it was actually a water pump and a filter for the pool, I'm not saying there wasn't a generator there somewhere's but it wasn't what you pointed too , might have been in the cage next to the water pump , Apart from that small technicality Kudos , good vid , Cheers

[@mohamedirushan6375]

Awwsoem video but!! Maldives dose have island guesthouses which offer a much better experience than the overly priced resorts and plus you will get to experience the maldivian culture, search on booking or agoda there are tons of options to choose from, world famous surfing points in Thulusdhoo is a very famous among surfers and the biosphere reserve in baa atoll is a paradise for divers and many more!!

[@agustinamimnaugh6089]

what’s the name of the resort?

[@xannah1531]

We always go for more then 14 days, you need that to unwind and relax. But i think 14 days is to much for Maldives.. Should do a stay at sri lanka and then 7-8 days maldives. We are thinking about seychelles, better for 14 days i think

[@khzind]

Nice Video. What camera & Lens did you use ?

[@TimKollat]

Thats funny that you thought the pool pump was a generator and the pool filter was a propane tank LOL..

[@gheangel_quinn]

Those water Villas are BEAUTIFUL BUT erecting them did SOOO much destruction to the coral reef that was most likely 100's of years old. VERY expensive price to pay for luxury.... Literally death of living coral reef 😢😥😓 This would explain the lack of Sea life in the glass floors in those Villas

[@WanderingTrader]

You don't even know if there was even a coral Reef there where it was built. Or if they actually helped the coral Reef in the area either. Pretty ignorant on ur part

[@gheangel_quinn]

@@WanderingTraderseeing from above the coral reef which surrounds those Villas (where the Villas have not been erected) I would imagine I'm pretty safe to say there was. Honestly, in order to find out for certain, all it would take is questioning a local. Also, I'm quite privy on Marine Biology, which entails Coral Reefs and the way it is reproduced. This would account for coral reefs which surround islands. There simply isn't just barren "sections", unless,. those sections were destroyed! If you look above closely, you can also see the shadowing beneath the sand used to cover up where coral reef once was. I imagine it wouldn't be very hard to prove everything I'm saying, via conducting test from samples. I imagine this would explain exactly why guests are NOT ALLOWED to take ANY form of Sea life with them from their stay.

[@aaroncummings59]

then this was a failure. Your seasons were off. your facts were off. everything was off

[@jamestan4667]

What season, what facts? I have been to Maldives three times and it had been wonderful and I am going again this year,. My comment relates to your travel advice which was useless and I am not the only one to say so, just look at Robbie McGill's comments below and others as well. All I said was this was the crappiest guide ever so either stick to your day job or go get lessons on how to as you have wasted my time watching.

[@aaroncummings59]

James Tan .... ummmm. I was replying to Marcelo. Who responded back to you. What I wrote CLEARLY had nothing to do with what you said and was agreeing with you. You started out appearing like you knew something and then ruined it with this comment. he said the best time to go is April. Nope. December, January, and February. He called a pool pump a generator. He didn’t share any actual information or travel tips besides (if you’re a backpacker then you can’t afford this). Cmon man. I was on your side.

[@jamestan4667]

Aaron Cummings , hmm , it popped up on my screen today that you have just replied to my earlier comments which was written back in sept last year. Ok that explain your comment about out of season etc.

[@bruceketcheson4877]

I did 4 weeks here in may 2017 with first class with emirates my cost in uk pounds was £36.000 pounds.

gonna be honest, you wanna know more about the maldives? just try and befriend locals and and learn great ways to spend your time here after asking your tour guide or pick up a travel book on the flight also you can get them from the airport as soon as you get out the arrivals. i swear as a maldivian i’m gonna be honest i’m offended 🤷🏽‍♀️💁🏽‍♀️ seriously. our country is much more than vlogs tbh. 🤦🏽‍♀️. anyways it was entertaining to watch your vlog tho

Which island?

[@volkanerdogan1284]

Would you recommend Maldives or Bali for honeymoon?

[@brothersman524]

If you want just the beautiful beaches and amazing turquoise waters, then Maldives...but if you want to see temples, cultures, waterfalls and beaches then it is Bali - however Bali was congested with motorcyclists and the beaches don't look that great - I would go to Lombok rather than Bali but that is my opinion in what I've experienced

Whats this hotel called?

[@ghanstarrxl]

Great video!! What’s the name of the resort and the room type?

[@SYLEWO]

Thank you for awesome and informative video ! A Professional video ! A big big love for the creative video thumbnail ! Maldives is a country of beautiful islands. The airport is on an island and main city (Male) is on another island. There are regular ferry service between airport island and main island. The hotel (Somerset Inn), we stayed, was very good in hospitality. It is very easy to change US dollars in the country, it is slightly not easy to change other currencies. Banks at airport at departure will only change the remaining Rufiyaa (which was exchanged during arrival). Streets in main city are very narrow. Bikes are mostly parked on the streets. The taxi can be hired for local transportation. To go to other islands, ferry service (which are relatively cheaper than private speed boats) can be used. Male island is highly populated but other islands do not have much of population. There are private island and private resorts as well.

[@Pilot-ud3yj]

Do you know anything about the Maldives? April to November is the dry season? No its bloody not. Its the wet season and perhaps the cheapest time to visit but the weather is a gamble. The temps are still good and the water is still nice and warm. The dry season is November to April. The prices go through the roof during this period. I hope this guy is a better trader than he is a tourist because he was dishing out some shit advice here!

[@WanderingTrader]

+Kev Farthing Global warming changes the weather I guess. The locals I guess don't know what they are talking about

[@Pilot-ud3yj]

Been there enough times to know that the rainy and windy summer monsoon in Maldives, named "Halhangu" in Dhivehi ( Maldivian language ), often starts around late April/May and reaches its peak around July / August. I doubt any local would tell you that April to November is the dry season. The monsoon rains arrive EVERY year in late April/Early May. Read it here in black and white. www.maldivesholidays.org/maldives-weather

I wanted to go during the month of December. is that considered the wet season? how is the weather during that time?
