If it is, do you feel a sense of "too many" people like waiting for the table at the restaurants or getting the excursion?....
We checked in last night and it is currently full here. After walking around the island along the beach I believe we were assigned absolutely the worst villa here right now (#9) and we cannot get it changed for a few days.
There is so little beach on this side right now that our loungers were pushed back to where they actually block the path to the beach. When you crawl over those you see lovely hoses for the desalinization running out along with our umbrella stand overturned in the water. The beach is extremely rocky in this area so you really can't even dip your feet in the water. An upgrade to the pool villa would have helped but I don't want to make it about that. It would just be nice to have access to some water at a reasonable distance for a beach vacation.
Told the wife last night that since we just arrived I was thinking we should just cut bait now and move over to the resort we stayed at last time we were in the Maldives. She was reading my mind, but they are full too.
We haven't been to the house reef yet we have heard so much about so maybe I will start feeling a little better about our decision to come here.
