                fast sleep flight

                it was ok for one night. but no toothpaste and toothbrushes in hotel, pls note to take them with you. staff in the morning delivered us in wrong time for our departure to resort, so also better by yourself check with your resort to know exact time of your domestic flight and not than wait hours in airport

                Our stay here overall is ok, we stayed here overnight to wait for next day seaplane transfer. Hotel has arranged for airport pick up and the staff is very helpful. The hotel is just around minutes drive from Male International Airport.

                Vi ankom sent om aftenen og skulle videre næste morgen, så vi så ikke rigtig området. Personalet var venligt. Værelset var rent men meget lille og sengen smal og kort.
