Reader Reviews:
Trying to find this book? (4/5 people found this helpful)
I found this book by searching for the website of the company who publish it, there you will find contact details for the author who will post you a copy on receipt of a cheque. We received our copy very promptly and are now looking forward to studying it intensely to plan our next trip to the Maldives.
Well worth the money! (3/3 people found this helpful)
I bought this book about a year ago and it has become the family bible! My husband and I have visited 3 islands so far and the write ups have been spot on, the father-in-law is on about islands number 8 and also agrees that the write-ups are excellent. If we had to criticise anything, it would be that the book is now slightly out of date, if you check the internet you'll find that some that are listed as Italian only resorts are now taking British visitors and some have had name changes so it gets a little confusing.
Regardless of this, the book is hugely informative and well worth buying, if only for the memories of where we've been!
Basically a very good guide, but with some drawbacks (2/2 people found this helpful)
This is certainly a very good-looking book, with suitably luscious photographs and an easy-to-read layout. The author has clearly done some excellent research on each resort but unfortunately he doesn't write particularly well, and, surprisingly, the text includes a large number of typos throughout. I found this a bit off-putting.
Also, the book lacks a handy "at-a-glance" overview or categorisation of the resorts. Rather than 90 resorts listed in alphabetical order, I could have done with some kind of break-down (such as "child-friendly resorts" or "best for peace & quiet" or "excellent dining") to make it slightly easier to wade through the book. Still, now I've read about all 90 of them from A - Z I feel pretty well equipped to book my holiday!
THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO HOTEL ACCOMODATION IN THE MALDIVES (5/5 people found this helpful)
If you are planning a trip to the maldives this should be your bible- honest warts and all critique of a huge choice of maldivian resorts, consult this book first and you will definately choose the right island. Adrian Neville has excelled himself with this informative and beautiful book
A wonderful guide! (6/6 people found this helpful)
Informative, well layed out and arranged alphabetically, this book is the guide to Maldive Resorts everyone should have. This book contains a wealth of useful information about each island resort including brilliant colour pictures of the accomdations and sights. It is a must for anyone seriously considering a trip of a lifetime to this wonderful place.
