The hotel/guest house is located in an island town which is 30 min speed boat ride from the Male airport. The speed boat was available during certain time only, so we had to wait like couple of hours in the airport. When we reached the island by speedboat, we had hotel staff picking our bags and took us by walk to the place. I was expecting a complete different place, to my surprise it was not. I felt like I'm going to Kerala literally :)
When I checked about food, the hotel staff said like the food there itself it good and was not sure about other restaurants. We had dinner there just twice (dinner, lunch) and we were done! The food was good, but we couldn't have for 2nd time, because the options were kind of same.. Same chicken, either in Noodles or Rice :)
When asked about activities, the charges were Okay like $35 per person for Snorkeling, Sand bank which took about 3 hours. They initially told that they don't hurry like other company who do water activities for cheaper price and would set fixed time, but even these people were hurry which I was not happy about. When we went for walk and found that we had good deals on activities and also giving free ride to airport when multiple activities done with same company. Free ride to airport is really good, because it costs $25 per person to airport!!!! Seriously!! They charged $200 for 4 people round trip!!! I could have easily saved that if I had talk to people upfront.
Alaka is good place to stay for price they provide
