In 2017 I left my successful 10-year corporate career in the city of London. I had covered the Tourism, Travel and Leisure industry, but was sick of seeing the smoke and mirrors that many destinations used to give customers a rose-tinted view of what to expect, which often led to dissatisfied customers.
This is what drove me to shake-up the whole industry and create a more trusted and honest form of travel discovery and inspiration.

Not recorded the toilets ? Is there a bidet faucet? This is very important for Muslim tourists. Thanks.
Oh yes, I didn't show any of the toilets did I! Sorry about that! I think you will have to check their website and look at the details photos and list of amenities to know for sure. Next videos I will be sure to show the toilets.
Hi bro thanks for your videos between Sun Siyam Iru Veli and The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives, which one do you think has better house reef , I am between these two. Thanks
Hello, thanks for your questions. The Standard is more of a natural island, and Iru Veli is more of a sandbank to which they have added vegetation. I think the reef is better at The Standard probably, but I didn't do loads of snorkelling at Iru Veli to be fair. The Standard is in the RAA atoll which is known for good marine life. Also it's next to the Baa Atoll which is. UNESCO Biosphere reserve! www.unesco.org/en/mab/baa-atoll?hub=66369 It may depend on price also. Have you had quotes or got prices? I also work as an agent so can price and book these for you as I get great rates. You can email me on: [email protected]

Hello, i have decided to go with Kuda villingili.. thanks!
Whats the sea temperature when u go for a paddle ?? , ive been to sharm el shekh, and its lovely good snorkelling too.. . .
Probably similar to Sharm's water temperature. It depends a bit on time of year. Not as hot water as Dubai though, it's so warm there.
❤❤❤❤❤🤩😘🥰🙃💯💥💥👏👏🌅🌅
hanggang pictures na lang ang tanaw
There's no equivalent to Anse Source d'argent in the world. Even national geographic place it as the world number 1. Its also the the world most photographed beach.
Very nice. I'm guessing what, about $200 euro a night?
Haha, yes something like that. :)
@@BenjaminBryant Yeah thought so. Ha.. Thanks for the showing us around this beautiful resort.
Food not good at the Palace side cold , but if u go to the atoll side its so much better because they have more quests so food turn over is quicker n hot. Also flight ✈️ time is longer than expected as if u go by boat from Male ,would take 4hrs ,so take sea plane 35mins, told adults only is not. But good point staff are wonderful, island is beautiful 😍 total chill out place .
Thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback Debbie! Much appreciated. I agree, the domestic flight and boat is a bit of a long slog. Seaplane is much better. I think for the price point that it is, it delivers a lot of value. Will you be visiting the Maldives again some day soon?
Nice
Thanks for watching!
😢
Why the sad face?
Where?
This is Coco Bodu Hithi in the Maldives :)
Will be staying at the RIU Atoll overwater suites in a few days and had a question if anyone mentioned anything about worry of potential tsunamis or if any alterative measures are in place?
Hi there. I have been to the Maldives 8 times to 30 islands, and never once had even a tsunami warning. I think they don't happen much or at all there. Also, the coral reefs protect the islands from big tidal surges. I think you will be ok :)
hi, ist it possible to use drone in Riu ?
We worked with the Sales and Marketing team, so it was different for us. You will need to check with them directly I would say. :)
Not the first, a guy flew a hawker hunter through the bridge
Thanks for the input, much appreciated. I think that you have perhaps mis-understood my wording / phrasing here, I am implying it was the first time that wingsuits have ever flown through Tower Bridge, which it was. Thanks
Wait was it a gliding suit?
Yes, it sure was! :)
technically not the first flight through tower bridge i believe, an upset raf pilot flew through it once
Thanks for the input, much appreciated. I think that you have perhaps mis-understood my wording / phrasing here, I am implying it was the first time that wingsuits have ever flown through Tower Bridge, which it was. Thanks
@@BenjaminBryant fair enough, but the story im on about is fairly unkown and is the only other time to my knowledge that tower bride was flown through. you should take a look at it if an angry raf pilot stealing a plane and doing a bunch of crazy stuff interests you
Shame we didn't get to see that drome footage 😕
Here you go :) kzread.info4YojbnhsgRo?si=BdcIFV-WXWcjKQUl
Drone pilot: the one job that thousands of hours of gaming might hone a few skills for!😅
When did you capture this footage? The water looks so blue. But some other videos I have seen is more greenish.
Hi, I captured this in 2021 I think. However, I think it's because we are a professional video production company, so we know how best to film and edit the footage to look true blue
Thank you so much for sharing the pros and the cons of the resort. I never would have realized that there were 3 rooms to a water villa. 😄
Our pleasure! So glad this was useful.
Hi Benjamin! Would you know how much would be the round trip speed boat cost from Male - movenpick - male?
Hello, thanks for the question. The seaplanes differ, but generally around $400-$600 return per person. Are you looking to book? I can book it for you and quote a good price. I sent a customer to this resort recently actually and they loved it!
I stayed here a couple years ago and I hated it. I like the sea and that is about it. Felt it was too concrete for such a beautiful place and I felt it ruined the whole experience. It felt like a budget hotel, with the clientele to much the price. Not romantic at all and it was actually quite depressing and boring. There wasn’t really enough nature to look at just the sea basically. This is Butlins in the Maldives.
Thanks for the comments, it’s interesting for others viewers to read. Well the price is quite budget, so it’s exactly on par with the price people pay. It does allows people with lower budget to experience the Maldives. Yes the architecture is European brutalist, which can clearly be seen by the website, photos and videos, so I assume most people would choose it because they like that look perhaps Thanks for sharing your thoughts 👍
@@BenjaminBryant it was just my personal opinion and of others during my stay. When I visited there was a lack of videos on KZread and went with an open mind quite naively. I’ve stayed in many Riu Palace hotels destinations around the world and on that basis we booked our stay at Riu in Maldives. I would not recommend this hotel in Maldives if you are wanting an intimate romantic honeymoon feel. I don’t feel I felt the trueness of what Maldives has to offer. Great for those on a budget, to get drunk and socialise.
💖 *promo sm*
Thanks for watching, what does this mean? promo sm?
i'm french, can i have a deal to ?🤔😋
Hi, Yes you can also have a deal, you don't have to speak English, haha :)
Can you swim in the lagoon at the riu palace
Yes you certainly can do, I swam from the water villas a lot. It depends which section and how good of a swimmer you are.
Is rio Palace for adults only?!
Yes I think so, but RIU Atoll is more for families.
Hi Benjamin, was this the high privacy ocean villa? It does not look very private as everything on the front deck seems to be fully exposed by the dock/villa entrances.
Hello, yes this villa is more exposed then most of the other ones, because it is next to the turning circle on the broadwalk where the buggies use to spin around. However, there are some very private villas further up the villa jetty. Do you need some more advice and prices for booking via myself? If so, please email [email protected]
I just got invited ❤
Well done!
❤❤🔥🔥🔥
Thanks very much for watching
What do you think is the best all inclusive Maldives resort for couples budget around six to $700 per night
Good question, it depends a lot on which part of the Maldives you want to be in. Also if you want a speedboat or seaplane transfer.
I have no idea I never been in the Maldives before that’s why I asked you if you have any suggestion I would really appreciate it. I’m moving to take a seaplane if I have to whatever whatever give us better experience even if I have to pay a little bit more.
@@seiftajour8593 Hi there, yes, the seaplane is a great experience for sure! Have you watched my Maldives Guide presentation: kzread.info/dash/bejne/f6Z7xNt9mcTenMo.htmlsi=dCY996xg0rLCiZJj
@@seiftajour8593 You can also email me your details and requirements and i'll make some more recommendations: [email protected]
I will do that. Thank you so much.

Thanks for your opinion
What’s the difference between RIU Atoll i stayed there last year
RIU Palace offers access to the second island, pool, restaurants, beaches, etc.. I think the accomodation is slightly higher standard also. Which one did you stay at?
Hey Benjamin another question i would like to do water activities like jet ski wave runners this time where would i do that
Hello Benjamin. Wanted to ask you what’s your favorite hotel in the Maldives. Also what resort did you like between Soneva Jani, Ritz Carlton, Gili Lankanfushi and One & Only.
Hi there, just saw and replied to your IG DM thanks.
SOLD
Haha, fantastic! Let me know if you require any help if you book.
This is really great & informative. Thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for sharing your feedback.
The dolphin or water villa has the sunset view ?
The dolphin sweets face South East The water villas face both North East and also South West.
So you want the South West facing water villas probably
Stayes hear 20 year ago on many honey moon, plan to go back to maldive but would be different resort
Yes I agree, a different resort would be a great idea to change things up a little for you.
You should have done on the hotel it self, the food, and what activities available, excursion ect
Good idea thanks, I will show more of this type of content in future
1st of all one of the best videos iv seen explaining the whole resort I don't get the family suite , it only has 1 bedroom so why is it called a family suite
Thanks so much, that is great feedback to hear. Are you looking to book? The family suite can be adjusted for more people to sleep I believe. Are you looking for a family suite at a resort? if so, please email me and I can assist you.
