Personally, I recommend Maldives. Although the cost performance of Bali is also good, the Maldives is still the most perfect holiday resort with great scenery and service.

regarding the travel time, if you really want to go, it is better to book it six months in advance. Because if you book too early, the general hotel price hasn't come out yet. If you book too late, it's very likely that the hotel you want to go to has been fully booked. So keep an eye on the price and room.

Maldives is an island hotel, depending on whether you want to live in a beach house or a water house, an outdoor private bathroom or an indoor bathtub. Is it a quaint room or a luxurious room? With the change of seasons, hotel prices will also change. The order of prices from high to low is as follows:

12/22~1/4, Christmas and New Year, the highest price in the whole year.

1/5~4/3, which is not rainy season, stops after Easter in the third week of April every year.

from 11/1 to 12/21, the rainy season is getting farther away, the wind and waves are receding, the peak season is coming, and the price is rising.

7/21~8/2, during the rainy season, the price rose slightly due to the continuous vacation of Europeans.

from 8/21 to 1/31, at the end of the rainy season, the price was still low.

5/1~7/2, the early rainy season, the lowest price period of the year.

One island and one hotel in Maldives, except for the hotel room, the extra expenses mainly include the following aspects:

Tips: Maldives mainly focuses on tourism, and waiters use tips as their source of income. You can't leave a tip at the bedside every day (USD 1/day). You'd better tip the bellman (USD 1) when you check in and leave. You can give a tip at the restaurant or not. Of course, the service will be better if you give it.

Shopping: The main local products are shell products, reed mats and wood lacquer boxes. It is strictly forbidden to export any kind of coral in Maldives, and tourists can't pick up shells by themselves, so they have to buy them in local recognized shops. Male shopping time: 8: 3am-11: pm; Saturday to Thursday: 1: 3am-11: pm; On Friday, shops will be closed several times a day because there is prayer time.

catering and drinks: the restaurant is mainly self-service, and the extra expenses vary according to the promotion activities of each island. Needless to say, if meals are not included, the per capita consumption for dinner is 3 to 5 dollars, and if drinks are ordered, it is 3 to 8 dollars. The tap water in the hotel is not suitable for drinking. Some rooms on the island supply drinking water, but some don't. If they don't supply it, they need to buy bottled water. Other guests are not allowed to bring their own food to the restaurant, otherwise the restaurant will charge.

Entertainment items on the island: Generally, there are sea fishing, water diving, submarine, spa, island tour, dolphin tour, seaplane photography tour, canoeing, etc. The activities on each island are slightly different, and the fees for small items are 1 to 3 dollars per person.

note:

regarding the length of vacation, it is suggested to control the vacation time to 8 to 12 days (including the round-trip transportation time). If the time is too short, you will feel that you have not finished your tour, and the time is occupied by airplanes, connecting flights, check-in, and check-out, which is not cost-effective. But the time is too long, because the sunshine there is too strong, I'm afraid the skin can't stand it, especially for friends who like diving. Even the best sunscreen will inevitably get sunburned. In order to control the cost, you don't have to choose an overly luxurious villa, but you can also enjoy the beach and sunshine.

about diving: diving equipment is available for free on most islands, but if you are a clean girl, you'd better buy a full set of equipment in China. If you are nearsighted, remember to wear a diving mirror with a degree, and beginners should bring dry breathing tubes. It is best to buy a jellyfish coat, which is very effective in preventing underwater scratches.

About credit card swiping: Due to network problems, sometimes you can't swipe your card. You'd better bring enough US dollars in cash just in case. Some small change should also be prepared, mainly one dollar, to pay for consumption.

fine: don't fish, pick or trample corals on the island, otherwise the fine can reach $5,; Don't cook in the hotel room, and the fine is as high as $5,. Don't make noise, make noise or throw rubbish everywhere on the island to ensure the beautiful and quiet natural environment.

Visa and Entry: Maldives can handle landing visa for every foreigner with valid passport for 3 days, just fill out a form on the plane and stamp it at the airport. You can carry 2 cigarettes. Arms, weapons, pornographic publications, drugs and alcohol are strictly prohibited from entering the country. Don't put eyebrow knives and nail clippers for makeup in your carry-on luggage.
