“Service from CKB was fantastic.....2 tumbs up!”

An advise to all who wants to book a hotel in Maldives be very sure that you know all the terms and conditions. To book a Water Villa/Bunglow, you must be 18yrs and above an it is limited to only 3pax per unit. Mr Yaman from CKB did a great job in arranging this for me otherwise one of us may still be surrendered in the Male airport.

The arrange by CKB was great throughout, the moment we touch down at Male airport we were greeted by a hotel driver who brought us to Ripple Beach Hotel. We stayed there for a night and after breakfast we were taken back to the airport to take a domestic flight to Sun Island Spa and Resort. The flight took us almost half an hour. When we reach Sun Island we were greeded by the friendly staff and was brought to our room.

We enjoyed our stay in Maldives throughout. Our only disappointemnt was that when we arrived at Male airport from Maldives before our departure to Colombo we were greeted by 2 gentlemen who have our full details (as in the our room no. in Sun Island). They offered us a land tour to Male and also a service to keep our luggage at the airport for $5 USD per luggage.
Thinking that this was a service provided by CKB we took it up without much questioning. However instead of bringing us around Male the guide brought us to a restaurant which charges us $98 USD for 4 pieces of gralic naan, 4 pcs of tandoori chicken and 1 plate of butter chicken. After dinner we have less than half an hour to tour the Male City because we need to rush back to the airport. Upon reaching the airport we were greeted by another man who was sitting with a trolley with 5 of our luggage, total cost we had to pay him is $25USD. Meanwhile we still have to pay the guide another $20USD for the "so call 2hr" tour of Male City.

I hope no one else get caught into this.

Definitely CKB has nothing to do with this, I only got to know this from the "guide" while having dinner. They did this as part of "promoting Male City"

Otherwise my trip to Maldives was a memorable one.

Once again thanks to Mr Yaman and CKB Travel.
