This is 2nd time for Maldives trip. The main objective was to take the seaplane. The seaplane can't land after 5pm. I selected the Kurumba due to the access by boat and good facility hotel. In hotel information by their HP, the photo seaplane is programmed only on Wed and I scheduled from Tue to Sat. It was informed that there is no reservation system of seaplane. On the arrival day I requested the Wed flight, but reserved on Thu. It rained on Thu and the flight cancelled. The new reservation was got not on Fri, but Sat, The flight reservation was 11:15, but 12:15 at check in-time. I complained Hotel and they requested a special attend for us to get the reserved return flight. If I can't speak English, I lost my return flight and stayed one more night.
The sky view of this island from para-sailing was wonderful; beautiful sea color and island surrounded by the artificial wave break bank. The inside of this bank is no wave and shallow and quite safety to swim, specially for children. However we can't see the beautiful tropical fishes in coral reef, only out side the wave break bank.
The Kurumba is one of the best hotels for the family with children, or not interested to take seaplane. The remote hotel from Male to be accessed by the seaplane is recommended for the tourist to enjoy the wonderful view from the sky.
