$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
Seeing them in flip flops made me at ease! everyone is chill AF, lol

Some countries won't allow entry to anyone who even has a passport stamp showing they've entered Israel. At least it used to be like this 10+ years ago.

Many used to ask Israel to stamp a separate paper inserted into their passport to show their arrival and then remove it after.

I'm aware. Previous poster said "Jewish passport".

You can't compare Maldives to curaçao been to both and curaçao is trash compared to Maldives and I understand the flight is far but even curaçao takes a whole day to get there with connections
It's a 4 hour flight from NYC area and you get azure ocean with many colorful fish. Good enough for a beach vacation and much better than any place in the USA

Woah this is a very important detail. Thought you were messing around, but checked online and it's a real issue. I'm new to traveling and don't want to visit anywhere that's a red flag. Are there other countries to avoid?

I haven't been to Curacao, but I can speak for the Bahamas. If you do an island hopping flight to one of the smaller islands, I can't find much describing a difference from the Maldives other than this: The Maldives are expensive. They are luxury.

If you want a warm, pristine, aqua-blue beach, with nobody else there--the Bahamas are perfect. If you want high luxury, the pampering, and the food that goes with it--the Maldives might be worth the flight.

To each his own, but I'm definitely going back to Staniel Cay in the Bahamas for a 3rd time.

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.
Wheres that deal at homie

Or go to St John's island in the Caribbean and swim with sea turtles all day off the beach without the need of a boat.

The official religion of the Maldives is Islam, specifically Sunni Islam. The constitution mandates that the state religion is Islam, and all citizens are required to be Muslim. Non-Muslims are not permitted to vote or hold office, and citizenship is granted only to Muslims.

Nobody pays 5800 for that package.. It seems these days the criteria to end up on slickdeals is just to publish overpriced MRP!

I've always been intrigued by The Maldives, indeed, a legit 26 to 30 hours with a flight change from LAX, maybe a hour shorter from New York, $1,400.00 round trip seems the rough average. probably cheaper low season.

Curaçao is nonstop from nyc airports. The flight is only 4 hrs.

I recently read the official Treasury Report from the Maldives and what concerned me most was that nearly 12% of their GDP went to Slickdeals advertising last year. I'm not sure that's sustainable.
