*************************************
In the Maldives, most rooms are equipped with one or two queen/king-size beds. For an occupancy of 2 adults + 1 or 2 children, it may be that only 1 or 2 large beds are available in total. Consequently, it may happen that when 2 adults + 1 or 2 children are in a room, a child must sleep in the parents' bed.
*************************************
Please note that rooms with direct pool/sea access cannot be booked for travelers with children under 7 years of age for safety reasons.

Zusatzhinweis

All flight transfers and most boat transfers (depending on the island's location) are only carried out during the daytime. Therefore, an overnight stay in Male (near the airport) may be necessary.
**************************************
The baggage allowance for seaplanes is 20 kg + 3 kg of hand luggage per person. Excess baggage must be paid for on-site (approx. 5 USD per kg). Excess baggage is usually delivered by boat.
**************************************
In the Maldives, sinks or even bathtubs/whirlpools may be integrated openly into the general living area of the hotel room without a spatial partition.
