You don't want to fly halfway around the world for a 5 day stay. Book a caribbean vacation instead, they're much cheaper and flights are short. I'm posting this from our 7-person family's private villa (4br/4.5ba/private pool) for $600 with taxes and fees included in Curaçao at the moment.

The Maldives is the most beautiful place on the planet. It's my "happy place". I've been going there since 1984? 83?

Thing is: each resort is a different island. Some islands are TINY. One island I stayed at took about 5 minutes to walk entirely around. So, depending on what you want, the island is probably more important than the room. I personally NEED a good house reef. Many of the islands with overwater bungalows don't have a decent house reef. That means you need to jump on a boat every time you want to snorkel or dive.

And reviews don't help. Most reviewers have been to only one island. So that means that they are comparing their one Maldives resort to the rest of the world, not to each other. If you've been to Hawaii, or the Carribean, or Thailand, or wherever, the best resorts in those areas are comparable to the worst resort in the Maldives. The Maldives always gets 5 stars. Unfortunately, how do you compare resorts when every resort has 4.7-5 stars? It all depends on just the personalities of the individual graders, not their experience or the individual quality of the resort.

I've stayed on the 7 or 8 resorts in the past 40 years. Unfortunately, I can't recommend any because they've all changed so much in the last 20 years and I haven't even been to the Maldives in the last 15.

If you can afford to go, it's the most amazing place on the planet - I haven't visited Tahiti or Fiji (those might be the only competition). It's better than anywhere in SE Asia, Australia, Red Sea, Hawaii, Carribean, Mediterranean, and Philippines. (Haven't visited Seychelles which I hear might be pretty good too).

$3K for 3 nights is not a bad deal. We went to a different Maldives resort a few years back and it was similar pricing. We also rode on a seaplane as well and coming from someone who's afraid of heights, let me tell u how terrifying it was to see your pilot wearing flip flops while flying the plane. lol

I had to google this and learned that the Maldives stands with Palestine and while not endorsing terrorism, works with Iran. People from Israel cannot travel there.
