Thank you so much for posting this. I also saw Luxury Escapes on FB and wondered if it was too good to be true. Looks like a beautiful place for our 25th wedding anniversary!
Yes! This deal is totally worth every penny. My husband wants to go back next year. You have to try all their restaurants. Check out the video on just the food. Until now, I haven't found a lobster linguine as good as their Italian restaurant. Go there for lunch. And make sure you don't miss out on the island tour wilhixh is only available on Tuesdays and Sunday. We missed it because we didn't know it was limited kn those 2 days.
Thank you Jorge! ❤️Coming from the Philippines , this was truly a dream vacation for me. I'm grateful to have given the opportunity to immigrate to the US and be able to afford this vacation. Lol!
Thanks for posting this. I ended up booking with luxury escapes for 2022. I can’t wait, looks amazing 😍 did the hotel have life jackets in the room? And how do you book the transfer once your in the Maldives to the island. Do I call the hotel or luxury escapes to book?
Hi Sheila! Yes, they provide life jackets in the room. I believe I captured that in one of the photos towards the end of the video. You can also rent the snorkeling gear which was really clean, sanitized, and looks like a really good brand. I believe it's only $10 all day to rent that. They offered it when we used one of the excursion vouchers. The transfers are all done by the hotel. They will contact you via email and ask for your flight info one month before. ( mid January for us when our trip was beginning of March.). No need to call. We never called the hotel since it's international rate for phone bill. Just make sure you check your email 1 month before. BTW, we just created a new channel. ZIP travels the world. Please follow us there as we will be posting a lot more in details day by day. This was seriously the best trip ever for us. Happy to know you are booked 😀!
@@XXloveNpeaceXX here's their Spa. This was also included in the package. And I services are pretty cheap. Ave price of $80 to $100. czcams.com/video/gCFX3GeydcA/video.html
Same here; we were all worried that it was a scam. But I called Luxury Escapes and did some research on them and on Pullman Maldives as well. I was searching IG, and CZcams for new postings weekly to see if any had experience with this deal. Unfortunately, no one claimed that they booked thru Luxury Escapes. I had to post to share our experience. Most of the guest we met at the resort booked through them as well. We want to go back to Maldives and try other resorts but we have not seen any deal better or even close to this one. My husband wants to go back next year.
Hi! Your trip seems like it was a lot of fun. I had a doubt, on luxury escapes they said that it is Unlimited all inclusive a la Carte so does that mean we can choose any between them ?
It was one of the best vacations for us. This is an all inclusive resort. Food and drinks were all included. We are pretty cheap. We did not spend a penny on food. The few extras were the much more expensive wines. If you scroll down my videos, you’ll find 3 videos just on all the food we ate. Our final bill was only for the Covid test. It was literally zero on all food and drinks. There food was amazing. The Souk Oven was our favorite restaurant.
Yes! We had a great experience with LE. Know that they are based in Australia, I think. So make sure you call at night if you are based in the US. We had never book through them before and was skeptic. But glad they are a legit company. Also, make sure you research the hotel you are planning on booking. Not all are 5 star hotels. But Pullman Maldives was definitely 5 star. Service was great, food was great, and the staff was amazing. This was by far one of the best vacations for us.
Hi there! Thank you for your video. I noticed that you went to the Priority Lounge in Dubi. We also have a 7 hour layover there. Can you tell me more about it - like how much did it cost and what does it have to offer.
Hi Brandi! We checked out all of the priory lounge in Dubai International Airport and Ahlan Lounge at Gate B26 was the best in terms of food, place to sleep and service. My cousin's credit card gives him access up to 2 person for free. Each additional was $27 each. It was worth the price. The food was good, service was good, and they have an area where you can sleep. They also have a really nice massage chair with a 20 min limit per use. Here's his text. With my Chase Sapphire Reserve card, I get Priority Pass, which gives me lounge access. First 2 people are free, additional peeps are $27 each... without a card, it would be $80 each person. By the way, with that lounge, we were able to access the Dubai International Hotel in the airport where you can use shower, pool, and gym. Hope this helps.
They have golf carts called buggy that goes around the resort. They come pretty often. And when a staff sees you, they will ask if you want them to call you a buggy.
Hi, thanks for sharing such amazing trip, I just made my purchase to Pullman through Luxury Escapes. I got a question on the domestic flight to Kooddoo. Is that arranged through the hotel or by Luxury Escapes? Do we need to pay extra for the domestic flight?
After you confirm with Pullman your exact date, you’ll get an email with the resort info. You are responsible for the flight to Malè, a rep will meet you there and will assist with the transfer to the resort (1 plane then a boat ride). We also contacted the resort once we received the email and gave them our flight info to Maldives just to make sure we don’t miss the connecting flight/transfer.
Sorry, did realize I was logged in with my foodie channel . Like what I said, Male to the resort, Pullman will take care of it. A Pullman representative will meet you at the Male airport and guide you to the lounge. They will help you until you board the plane to go to the resort.
Hi Irene. Kamusta. Thank you for posting this wonderful video. My fiancee and I are looking to book our honeymoor for late April into May 2022 through Luxury Escape as well. Is it easy? How do I get started? You mentioned everything is online. Do I need to create an account? Please help me out and provide tips and suggestions before booking our honeymoon. We will be departing from NY. Salamat po :)
Yes, create an account with luxury escape; when selecting Pullman Maldives u can leave the dates open but can select the package u want unless you are sure of the dates. Once you purchase the package with LE, they will send you a confirmation. To book once date is confirmed just contact LE & they will assist you. You can even request if you want the sunrise or sunset bungalow. LE has excellent customer service. Just know some of their excursions are on specific days only like the private island tour.
Our flight was at 11:30 am. But after the transfer from bus to plane and a stop at one of the islands, we got to Kudoo at around 1pm and then the ferry boat ride was about 20 min. We got to the resort at 2pm
I was debating whether to book this resort or not but after watching your video, I’m incline to. How’s the water and the beach? It looks like they have these stringy algae in the water and no corals?. How’s the snorkeling ? Any good variety of marine life? And such a long trip to get there. We’re in the same boat- flying out from LAX. And btw, how much did resort charge for PCR test since it is required upon returning to the States? Thanks for uploading video!
My husband and cousin went out snorkeling on their own and saw corals by the rocks near our villa. But when we went snorkeling there were corals and saw a lot of marine life. Snorkeling is best after the rain. Higher tide means more marine life and much clear water. That's what we noticed. But from our villa, there were already plenty of marine life especially at night. Pullman did a great job putting lights under each villa. That's when we saw so many bigger marine life including bigger sharks.
Bonjour, belle petite vidéo 📼 👍 Pour votre séjour vous avez réservé via une agence de voyage, ou sur un site internet ??? Merci d'avance pour votre réponse.. 🌏👍🌈🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅
For 4 adults, it came out to be $500 a night + $1100 for our flights from LAX to Male. This was in March. I saw that the price for this room went up by $1500 more for the total trip package

Thank you! Do you mean the flight from Male to the resort? The resort paid it. It was part of the all inclusive.

I am also a Priority Club member- thanks for the advice! I will check that lounge out!
How do you get around the resort? It looks very big, is it a long walk from rooms to restaurants?
They have golf carts called buggy that goes around the resort. They come pretty often. And when a staff sees you, they will ask if you want them to call you a buggy.

No special plug needed😊

Our flight was at 11:30 am. But after the transfer from bus to plane and a stop at one of the islands, we got to Kudoo at around 1pm and then the ferry boat ride was about 20 min. We got to the resort at 2pm
Hi, I was wondering do they have iron for clothes? And a place to do laundry?
Yes! I believe so. And laundry was included. Check their website. They were able to do some of our laundry for free.
@@IRA1020 thank you so much:)
Is the offer still available from Luxury travels ? You have any link of their page

Here you go! They also have an app you can download. Just search Pullman Maldives after.
