I've had my fair share of travel to Maldivian resorts, but this is by far the best one. The highlight of my trip was the dive school. It changed my entire worldview. Ricardo and Susan are a unique team who took care of my entire family and taught us many valuable lessons, both in and out of the water. Right from the get-go, we received a completely different treatment than at other resorts. We were given cold towels and water bottles on the boat ride. This was a whole new experience. Upon arrival, we were given trinkets, welcome drinks, and more cold towels. They have thought of everything. I feel that the management actually traveled as local guests and put themselves in our shoes to anticipate the customers' needs. We were given a briefing and taken to our rooms. The staff are super friendly and tried their best to accommodate all our needs. If we asked, they'd try their absolute best to make our dreams come true. We went to the dive school, and Ricardo introduced himself. He gave us all the specifics of the PADI open water course and checked if he could rearrange his schedule. He even tried to get another instructor to come and help him out so he could help us with the classes. Finally, he said that he'd take the classes personally. I was at first disappointed that there was no all-inclusive option in the packages. But look no further; with this resort, they'll bring delicious meals from all parts of the world and a variety of options to your dinner table. You wouldn't want an all-inclusive option. Truly, money well spent. All the meal times were like this. Set meals or buffet, you'll leave the restaurant fully satisfied and full of energy. We extended our stay to finish the dive course. If I were to write about the dive course and the instructors, I could write a book, and it would only be filled with compliments. They leave no stone unturned. They take their time to teach every single member separately and empowered us to move past our comfort zones. They are a dynamic duo who will play a huge role in bringing back returning customers. I definitely am returning to Makunudu Island. This trip will always be remembered, and I hope they only get better with time to make our stay as comfortable as possible.
