Resort allowed illegal feeding of stingrays/sharks on shark excursion. Manager didn’t apologise and acted unaware of the laws. Overall there was a lack of welcome, lack of management presence. This was my 4th trip to Maldives. The resort has no house reef, no coral whatsoever and little vegetation in the sea so very poor snorkelling at the resort . You literally could only see one or two fish from the beach when snorkelling . Water was chargeable even when paying for full board . Because we complained to EPA about feeding of stingray we got a less than warm goodbye
