Resorts of Maldives [Paperback]

Adrian Neville (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1, 2006

The bible for Maldives holiday-makers. Adrian Neville travelled, independently, to every resort in the country. The photographs and reviews combine to give the only accurate and detailed picture of every resort. Each review includes unique 'relative price' and 'room density' figures as well as a box of key prices and contacts. This is a beautiful way to making the right choice of resort. This is the original, large format book with a full set of photographs for each resort reviewed. A smaller 'guidebook' size format is also available (see separate Amazon listing).

Editorial Reviews

Review

I am a travel consultant....and a proud owner of Resorts of Maldives! The pictures are absolutely fabulous and your honest critique/praise of each one based on relevant criteria such as beach, sand, reef, room, food, service and ambience qualities is spot on....unless you have actually been to every resort, you won't be able to tell accurately what the beaches are really like and how good the reefs and lagoons really are. You also won't be able to compare and recommend with confidence which resort is best for the individual. --Vivian Liu-Ionides

It's a brilliant guide - and you're right, it's absolutely accurate!! A friend of mine read the information on the resorts he'd already visited (5 in total) and he said the same. Well done on a fabulous guide! I plan to go back and will count on your experiences/suggestions when making my decision on which island to visit next. --Carla Duarte

His reviews in my opinion are excellent, we have visited several islands and we agree with his reports for each of them. The photographs and page layout are fantastic. But most importantly this is an honest and unbiased opinion from Adrian Neville. Anyone wanting to visit the Maldives should buy this book, I wouldn't be without it! --Mary di Stefano --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars One unbiased and comprehensive resort review source, August 10, 2006

Travel Lover "travelLover" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Resorts of Maldives (Paperback)

The book gives detailed info on diving, dining, stay and all other points of interest as the author himself has stayed in every resort he is writing about. Especially for Maldives when choosing the resort is the focal point of the vacation planning and the resort stay is THE vacation this book is indispensable. I had to get mine from Maldives airport as it is hardly available otherwise.
