While we won't be on a *tight* budget by any means, I absolutely hate the feeling of being ripped off. We love to do a few fine-dining experiences during a trip like this, but I think it would irritate me to no end to pay Michelin 3-star prices at a place that didn't deliver that quality and uniqueness of a meal. This, plus the travel times involved, might lead us to a place like CKS as opposed to the Maldives.
