My question is, when I booked the flight it said the requirement is to have $100 USD per day to cover expenses. Are we required to carry $100 USD cash per day? So $600 cash per person if it is for 2 people??
Also, I guess most people say that preferences form is useless that the hotel concierge emails you. But since I'm filling it out anyway, any villas you recommend? We have booked 2 nights in OWV and 4 nights in Reef Villas. Any recommendations are appreciated!!!
Only been to the Maldives once, but no one every asked how much money I had. Have seen this asked in other countries though. Those rules are set to make sure backpackers don’t show up and run out of money.
I’d bag the OWV and just stick with the Reef Villas. They cost less and are closer to everything. But still very private. Once you are behind the gate of your room you will not be able to tell if your room is OW or or attached to land.
