    My tears coming down watching this video, as i was one of those engineers stood up 2008-2010 to escort the safety of those fleets and quit because our licenses is no longer consider recognized. All the best for Maldives. 🙋

    I took my two kids on a holiday to the Seychelles, I confiscated their ipads/PSPs for 2 weeks. Trust me, it made a difference! No more staying at the screens, it was a good quality time with them and my lovely wife

    That water is so beautiful! I dream of going to Soneva Fushi or Jani someday. Until I can I will just have to live vicariously through your videos. Thank you for making these! They are always so well done and give me glimpses into places I will probably never get to go, I love it!

    What a great job Soneva Fushi does, as far as collecting and transportation to the resort. Is this a new villa you and your guests are staying in? Or the one you have stayed in in the past? Keep up the good work. I thoroughly enjoy traveling with you through the lens of your camera.👍

  • @alanlchu6160
    @alanlchu6160 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    At 10:00 I see guests taking their shoes off, I assume the resort encourages totally bare-feet experience, that's amazing! Two weeks ago we stayed at the Waldorf Astoria Maldives and was sad to wear shoes often, however before that the Conrad Maldives we spent eight whole days without wearing shoes - amazing experience.

    @Corrosionchemist 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    As always, thanks for the video! But it’s so short, you’re going to have to give us an extra long video next week to make up for this shortie! 😉.
    I hate to ask…… but I’m sure thousands of your viewers are going to ask the same question .… how much did these places cost per night on your recent visits?! And yes I’m well aware of the old saying: If I have to ask, I probably can’t afford it! 😎

    In an earlier video you said Aman was the hotel brand that you liked best; but now it´s Soneva. (You might like both equally, for that matter!) Did you find Soneva to be a more intimate experience? (To judge from your video) their properties seem smaller by comparison to other hotel brands that you´ve reviewed. And nice review, by the way.

I like the Purple & Grey colours of the plane and the cabin as well 3:15 , I think if i were a Seaplane pilot..instead of flipflops i would rather some other light weight soft wear..but year Barefoot pilots..so awesome 5:35 , beautiful video..i just wonder though, if those resorts are not worried about storms or flooding...
