However, with the flight costs, the trip to this place looks higher.

If I recall, something like US$3-5 for a soda. BTW, they have a Deli that you can get something light or a cool drink and the Deli runs from 10:30am to 5 or 6pm.<br />I stayed there for 7 nights, but still felt that it's not enough. :)in the seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08685358330526357082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2485547022652810910.post-71557549269277202702012-07-05T13:06:02.207+08:002012-07-05T13:06:02.207+08:00Good that they make it clear what's free &...Good that they make it clear what's free & have a price lists for the other.

They have a menu showing what's free and what's not. very clear.<br />Since I don't have too much smaller notes, I paid twice to the butler for about US$100. It would be good for you to have some smaller change at the counter. Maybe US$1-5 for each time of service, depending on how much the service is.in the seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08685358330526357082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2485547022652810910.post-10868429855368903482012-07-04T06:29:59.867+08:002012-07-04T06:29:59.867+08:00Nice, they do provide complimentary water & sn...Nice, they do provide complimentary water & snacks!

At average it's US$700++. However, it has to be thru' a local agent for a package for Maldives since there are so many miscellaneous costs and yet the flights are not so convenient that a 1 night stay over at Male city is required, due to the seaplane only service in day time. Normally the HK agent sell about HK$20k (share twin basis) for a water villa for 3-4 night stay package.in the seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08685358330526357082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2485547022652810910.post-48931338787757254972012-06-22T14:32:28.360+08:002012-06-22T14:32:28.360+08:00Wow I like the room facing the water.
