Visiting the Maldives has been on my bucket list for quite a number of years. Finally started making concrete plans over a year ago. Shoutout to Jenny @ Reef and Rainforest Dive & Adventure Travel for helping make this happen. We booked a 10 night stay at the Hideaway Beach Resort which included 3 nights in the overwater bungalows and 7 nights in a beach front suite. Upon arrival in Male and getting through customs we made our way to the kiosk stand where we met a representative from Hideaway who would hopefully help us with getting us to our seaplane transfer to the resort. The representative was unable to find our booking at the Hideaway on his paperwork. I provided confirmation numbers in my paperwork, and there were a few calls made back and forth before it was determined we were supposedly booked at the Lily Beach Resort, which is a sister resort to the Hideaway. Well, after some heated discussions, the representative said his contacts were trying to see if there was availability at Hideaway based on the types of rooms we wanted. The was availability, but I had to cover an additional costs, which led to further heated discussions. But I wanted to get t Hdeaway and relented. I had confidence once our travel agent back in Canada was able to step in and investigate, things would be made right. I’ll add here that she indeed do so. I would like to thank the representative at the Male airport at the Hideaway booth for keeping a calm, professional attitude during that time. You handled the situation very well. I’m sorry for not remembering your name but wanted to give you kudos Seaplane transfer to the resort was a wonderful and exciting way to get to the resort. Upon arrival at the resort we were greeted by drummers, a lei, and staff in a line with warm, welcoming smiles. The checkin lobby was wonderfully cool with a/c, a cool face cloth, and a drink. This is where we met our wonderful concierge Mira. She was such a delight. Once we completed the checkin process, Mira took us on a buggy and showed us the different areas/restaurants on the island, and then on to our overwater bungalow. She showed us the room amenities, and then let us enjoy our room.i final felt I was truly here and on vacation. Rooms - Overwater bungalow and Beach front Suite - very roomy and comfortable. We enjoyed the patio and private pool. I particularly enjoyed it at 2:30 am, seeing numerous stars since I was usually awake still trying to get over jet lag. Both rooms had bottled waters, coffee, beer/wine, and snacks available for consumption, and were replenished daily. We liked the layout of the beachfront suite better. The bedroom was in a separate room. Food/Restaurants - in a word, fantastic! Main buffet for breakfast and dinner were plentiful and very tasty. The fresh fruit was great. Selection was awesome. Lunch-dinner at the other two sit down venues were excellent as well. We did not try any of the specials restaurants since we were very pleased with the o
