We returned to visit Makunudu Island in January. It’s as charming as ever with fantastic staff . The transfer was efficient . There was a slight delay for the boat as guests were gathered. On arrival we received a wonderful greeting from staff and General Manager Mr Shaughy and were presented with a handcrafted necklace which was quite unique. Our bungalow for the 2 weeks had been upgraded with a patio area and refurbished bathroom . A great improvement with the bathroom , it appeared more spacious and newly tiled with an excellent shower . The huge bed was decorated with flowers and wine and fruit had been left for our enjoyment. Ibrahaim took care of the room and was such a joy to see each day , always laughing and smiling and checking everything was ok . The room was cleaned to a very good standard . Weather was mixed on our first week , spells of rain and a few thunderstorms which I really enjoyed! It passed and thankfully the sun returned. It was great to see our waiter from last year Lasantha , so friendly and did a wonderful job . He was on the ball with everything. We thoroughly enjoyed the meals . I think the standard was even better this year . Plenty to choose from , a varied menu with some creative ideas . Maldivian night was deliciously spicy, a real treat . We had the opportunity to see a Cookery demonstration which was quite expensive for what it was . It was supposed to be for an hour but was over too quickly and for $30 per person did not feel good value . We did get to sample the curry created at dinner that evening though . Fantastic to see KD and Saif at the Dive and Watersports Centre. We always have fun with these guys . Went on a few snorkel trips and were lucky enough to go out on the speedboat and see the Manta rays this year. KD took us on a Catamaran trip around the island . It wasn’t quite as windy as he would have liked ( likes to go fast apparently) but was a really pleasant trip and a chance to chat and learn a bit about life in the Maldives . Always worth a trip to the Spa , I visited a couple of time , it was bliss ! Bar guys with their eagle eyes never miss an empty glass and regularly kept us well replenished . Each one is very friendly and efficient. The only thing we would request would be more evening entertainment. We missed the Maldivian drummers and a chance to dance would have been fun 🤩. Sadly the rain did stop some of the planned activities our first week and we didn’t get the chance to experience Bonfire on the Beach night . But Movie Night on the beach was a lovely idea . We would highly recommend Angelfish as the travel agent for the Maldives . They are super professional with a few surprise treats involved which was very much appreciated. Apart from the changes in the weather patterns, Makunudu continues to get full marks from us and will always have a special place in our hearts 💕 . It’s still an authentic, friendly, peaceful, well managed island that we would definit
