I think that is the case of all the places in the Maldives though. There was no TV's in the rooms at the resort and to use the internet you had to go into a back office and pay like $1 per minute for dial up again possibly true of all of the Maldives. The island is nice and easy to find a quiet beach all to yourself etc and beautiful water of course and it was really nice walking from the balcony of our room right into the water! The boad ride from the airport seemed longer than 20 minutes to me but an interesting experience for sure. I would think they would have some work to do at this place to get it to what SPG guests would expect.

My experiences are as of 2003 so take them for what they are worth.
Hi mcgahat,

I have had the same experience as you, though my room has a TV...

Not sure if I am in the position to provide any comments though but perhaps being in Maldives means being away from civilisation and that means no connection from the outside world.. (no TV, radio or internet) except mobile phones...
