In Maldives, almost all hotel meals emphasize Thai curry flavor. Mainly western-style buffet, few hotels provide Chinese food, but the taste is not authentic, which is challenging for domestic tourists. The criteria for booking a room are BB (including breakfast only), HB (including breakfast and dinner) and FB (including three meals).

Let's start with three meals a day.

Breakfast is usually from 7.30 to 9.30, with all kinds of juice, bread, desserts, fruits and vegetables. The higher the hotel level, the richer it will be. Even three-star hotels are much richer than five-star hotels in the mainland, and there is free coffee. Guests have to charge for water and drinks. Generally speaking, 1 liter bottled mineral water or coke is 3-5 dollars, and a liter of beer is 5-8 dollars. Brandy is the easiest variety to buy, and some hotels have thousands of kinds.

Lunch is usually 12.00- 14.00. Most hotels have no juice. On the basis of breakfast, the main courses are grilled fish and roast chicken. Depending on the hotel level, the lunch price for a single person is 25- 100 USD/person.

Dinner usually starts at 7: 30 pm and the last guest leaves. It has the most varieties, and there are more dishes on the basis of brunch. There are barbecue dinners and parties one or two nights a week, when king crabs and prawns may be served. Dinner orders range from 50 to 200 dollars per person.

Special reminder is that there are also hotels that order meals for three meals a day (including dinner), and they are all cooked on the spot, but the types are far less than buffets. If your English is not very good, don't choose this kind of hotel as a good one, because the South Asian-style western food is not to China people's taste, and it is impolite not to eat it after serving. If you throw it away, people will be unbearable. Besides, cooking always takes time now, and a meal takes at least two hours. What a waste!

Pay attention to the differences in eating habits.

Because of the different eating habits in different places, China people have no problem eating western food in the first two days, and then they will lose their appetite. Therefore, it is suggested that when you go to Maldives, you can bring some instant noodles and instant rice or instant porridge, cooked food, pickles and other snacks to improve your taste. When I feel there is surplus, I feed it to the fish. Even if you eat in a restaurant, you can bring some pickles and barbecue seasoning. The grilled fish, roast beef and roast turkey there really don't have much flavor. But the vegetables and fruits there are very fresh and delicious. Attention; All restaurants are not allowed to wear swimsuits.

It is recommended to book HB catering (including breakfast and dinner)

When ordinary China people go to Madai, it is recommended to book HB (including breakfast and dinner), because when they get there, they won't get up very early in the morning, and a hearty breakfast will definitely take a long time. After breakfast, after lunch, there is dinner, and most of the day is spent eating, which is really a waste. If you help yourself to something to eat, you can save time to go diving or other activities. If you take part in activities that are charged by the hotel, such as snorkeling at sea, as long as the time covers the meal time, you will take the meal aboard, and the expenses are included. ) Bringing your own food can also improve your taste. You don't have to eat dinner if you are not used to western food.

If you go for three or four days, you may miss the barbecue dinner. Besides, not all islands have this kind of dinner. Generally speaking, the diving environment is good, but the catering is poor, unless it is a luxury hotel. So you must make a choice. It should be noted here that once booked, it cannot be changed or returned. In addition, all reservations do not include breakfast and lunch on the day you arrive, nor lunch and dinner on the day you leave the hotel. However, if you take an early seaplane transfer in Male and arrive at the hotel before eight o'clock, you can enjoy breakfast and dinner, but no matter when you leave the hotel, it does not include lunch and dinner that day. Most people book flights to leave Maldives at night, so you need to negotiate with the hotel for several hours before you leave the hotel. Generally speaking, the hotel will guarantee to send the guests to the airport three hours in advance. If you want to leave Male before you leave, you can negotiate to leave early. But anyway, you need to solve lunch and dinner. Eating in a hotel is expensive, but eating at the airport is enough. There is a coffee shop between the airport exit and the boarding entrance, with less food and higher price. There is a fast food restaurant on the right-hand side of the exit, which is cheap and has many varieties. You can order food, and one person can choose two dishes and a meal with drinks, which costs five dollars.
