However, in retrospect I would prefer a villa that is not so private but has ocean views. Coming from an over water villa I definitely miss looking at the ocean. A pool villa with good ocean views is probably the best value and compromise. There were a lot of ants in the villa and my host get housekeeping to spray and it’s a non issue now. The overwater villa had no ants and bugs outside. The land villas definitely have some bugs outside due to the environment.

I did the maldevian feast feast last night and my wife and I were the only ones signed up so it was essentially private beach dining for only $200. It was just the two of us plus our guide explaining all the food to us it was very cool.

We are scheduled for fishing tonight and it may only be the two the two of us again so it’s like getting private treatment without paying for it.

Our host natalia has been incredible. I originally inquired about a romantic bath setup but decided to pass for $95 plus tax and service is a lot for a bath. Natalia remembered it was our honeymoon and went above and beyond to surprise us with a romantic bath setup during our last night in the over water villa.
