Make sure to read the reviews before buying to see if the mount works properly! Have got and returned several of them of which the mount feature is faulty and loose.
Dosnt go pro come with a sticky mount?

I'll check it out. Haven't used mine yet, but I'm buying another one now.

Enjoy! Also, might be helpful to request Nasyb as your Butler. He was absolutely amazing and was really familiar with the whole kosher food situation.

I did this by emailing them prior to my stay.

Any way around the seaplane baggage overage charge? Like last time, I'll probably get nailed by them...

Does anyone have any recommendations on any specific health practices they usually follow when going to the Maldives? Going to Angsana Velavaru for the first time with my wife in February.

- Shots to take before traveling there?
- Best health practices while there? (obviously drinking bottled water)

Many thanks for any tips! :) I figure there's not much health risk there, but just wanted to check!

;) you know it
LMK how it is because I’m thinking of cancelling mine for later. If the villa is amazing maybe I’ll reconsider.

Definitely will. As long as the experience/property is good, I'm expecting it to be amazing. That villa is 1800 sq ft, looks amazing.

Was wondering if anyone can provide some insight:

I just checked in and they upgraded me from a regular OWB to a SR MLE upgraded me to 2 Bedroom Overwater, Villa, Bedroom 1: 1 King, Bedroom 2: 2 Queen, Sofa bed, Bathrooms: 2

Should I rather just get a sunset Villa? Or something else? Just here with my wife...


Thanks!

Sunset villa for sure. Or sunset suite.
