There are many islands in Maldives, more than 80 of which are built into five-star hotels. Each island is an independent hotel. Paradise Island is one of them. The hotel has a super large restaurant (three meals a day are served here) which is a buffet. If it is your first time staying, you will be assigned a seat with your name written on it. You will sit at this table for the next few meals. The food is super rich.
