Hotels in Maldives
Off late I have been seeing so many of my friends choosing Maldives for their Honeymoon trips. When I saw the photos on Facebook, I decided to take a trip to Maldives. When I was doing research for Hotels in the Maldives, I found there are quite a lot of Resorts in Maldives. Generally Maldives is known to be an expensive destination so far; however, this is changed now with the opening of Guest Houses in Local Islands. It is affordable to all kind of travel group.
I came to understand that there are broadly there are three kinds of Hotels in Maldives available in the Islands; you can choose to stay like a king in the private island (Luxury Resorts) Or you can experience the local life as a high spirited traveller and stay in Local islanGuesthouseses & the third option is to stay on the Live Board. Irrespective of where you stay, one has to use the Jetty boat to travel to visit Places to see in Maldives.
I wanted to do Scuba diving, so my research began in look out for best Guest houses in Maldives with good Beaches.

Hotel in Maldives can be Resort Stay is which is a luxury option, there are more than 100 islands developed for the Top end tourist market. Most of these resorts are on a complete Private Island. Upon arrival in the Airport, the Resort would provide Private Jetty boat ride for Airport Pickup, Some Resorts also arrange for an Helicopter ride to pick their guest from Airport.

Guest Houses
Hotels in Maldives can be also a Guest House stay options. Quite recently Maldives tourism rules have been relaxed, which has opened door to many Guest houses in Habited islands. Since then in many atolls, New Guest housed has been opened with a best spot for scuba diving. This has expanded the hotel to stay in Maldives. Hence Maldives Island has become pocket-friendly to many travellers. Although these Guest houses come with an affordable price, they are very best for high spirited travllers who want tp explore the local life in Maldives. For those love Sun, Sand, Sea & Scuba these are very best. These guest houses have a Chef in house & they come with all 3 meals. They are also associated to scuba Diving trainers who could guide & train for scuba diving. They also have daily excursions to sea like Fishing, Swimming with Manthray, stingray etc.
They not only value for money options to stay, according to me they are the best hotels in Maldives. Here also you can also get to taste the local Food in Maldives which will be Chefs special in some places.
