31 8 月 馬爾代夫 – Lonely Planet

因為想了解下馬爾代夫同大溪地既分別，上個禮拜係圖書館借左兩本關於呢兩度地方既旅遊書黎睇。圖書館借書既唔好處就係有”還書日期”，好似趕住你去睇甘，所以呢排晚晚都好努力”溫書”。呢兩本都係”Lonely Planet”旗下既書，佢地係美國都幾出名架。我而家睇緊講馬爾代夫個本先，睇左三分之二，你問我既話，本書真係有唔少資料架，由地理、歷史、文化、經濟、政治、宗教、藝術、環境到生態都有講。加上佢既排版係同教科書一樣，真係悶到癲。但都唔係話成本都唔好睇既，起碼我覺得佢係介紹酒店方面就唔錯啦。每個resort都介紹得幾詳盡，會講到岩咩人去玩，會唔會太嘈或太靜，主打係靚既resort設施或係正既潛水/浮潛地方，岩蜜月旅行或一家大細去。


以下係係書裡面搵都既小部分，我覺得既得意既：

HOW TO SPOT A FASHIONABLE RESORT

In case you have any doubts about where you’re staying, this checklist should help you confirm you’re in the very smartest of Maldivian resorts:

– You will not be given a fruit cocktail on arrival, but an iced ginger tea, homemade ice cream, homemade lemonade or melon juice, served in dainty earthenware cups.

– Exclusively dark wood interiors, no light wood whatsoever.

– Infinity pools all the way, hopefully even a private one for your own sun deck.

– No glass floors in water villas – you should have your own sea garden or at least a staircase into the sea from your veranda.

– You have more towels than you know what to do with in your rooms.

– Staff members you have never even seen magically address you by your first name.

– Every time you leave your room a fleet of staff will swarm in to clean it.

註：呢本書既作者係寫本書既時侯，因為兩間Four Seasons都因為海嘯未整返好、同埋W Retreat & Spa未開，所以都冇去到呢三間。

等我睇埋大溪地個本，再睇下去邊度抵D，如過決定左去馬爾代夫既話先慢慢研究下D酒店啦。
