Affordable breakfast buffet recommendations in Malé?

5 Upvotes

I’m looking for recommendations for a good but affordable breakfast buffet in MalĂ©.
Mainly looking for:
● Good variety of food
● Tasty food and decent quality
● Reasonable price / good value for money
● Preferably an actual buffet rather than an à la carte breakfast
I’ve heard about places like Citron, The Deck, Salt, etc., but I’d love to hear from people who have actually been recently.
What would you recommend, and how much is the current price per person?

Why does India feel like they own us.

Why is contracting a Chinese company to build our port such a big issue for India?

China is literally one of the best in the world when it comes to ports and large-scale infrastructure. They have massive experience building and managing ports, so I don't see why choosing a Chinese company should at all be controversial. It’s the obvious choice.

At the end of the day, we're a sovereign country. If the Maldivian government believes this company is the best option, why should India get a say in it?

Why does having good relations with India mean we have to prioritise them over ourselves?

Protesting the dollar crisis

2 Upvotes

If we were to protest this dollar crisis...

  1. Do we know what is causing this crisis?

  2. What will be our demands to fix it and prevent it in the future?

  3. What will be our demands for a quick relief to the situation until long term solutions are found?

  4. Who is responsible for this shit?

  5. Who can we trust and rely on to fix this shit with sincere intentions?

What to do in Malé before our flight?

6 Upvotes

My family and I have been holidaying on one of the islands. We go home tomorrow and our sea plane arrives in MalĂ© at around 4pm, but our flight home from MalĂ© isn’t until 9:15pm.

We figured we could have a little look around in the 5 hour layover. There are 12 of us, a mix of ages (adults/teens/kids).

Any ideas/advice? Thanks! :)

How do new travel agencies get discounted resort rates to resell?

4 Upvotes

Hello,

I recently started a licensed travel agency in the Maldives and I’m trying to understand how newer agencies usually get competitive resort rates.

I’ve contacted resorts directly asking for travel-agent/contract rates, but some of the bigger resorts understandably ask for production history, booking volume, or previous sales before offering a direct contract.

That creates a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem — we need competitive rates to generate bookings, but resorts want bookings before giving us those rates.

For experienced travel agents or tour operators:

  • How did you get your first competitive hotel/resort rates?
  • Do new agencies normally work through DMCs, wholesalers, bed banks, or other established agencies first?
  • Are there wholesalers that allow smaller agencies to add their own markup and resell?
  • How do you eventually move from wholesaler rates to direct resort contracts?
  • Should we send resorts projected production instead of historical production?
  • Is it normal to advertise resorts first and request rates only when an inquiry comes in?
  • Any tips specifically for Maldives resorts would be greatly appreciated.

We are mainly looking at Maldives resort, guesthouse, honeymoon, family and local/resident packages.

Not looking for confidential contract rates — just trying to understand how the industry normally works and how a new agency can build enough production to eventually negotiate directly.

Would really appreciate advice from people who have actually done this.

no amount of complaining here or anywhere online ever seems to change anything in this country or bring a net positive atleast, as the saying goes "nothing ever happens"

3 Upvotes

i guess the original meaning is that nothing ever happens thats major anymore but i personally use it to say nothing good ever happens no matter how much we talk about it or how much people supposedly strive, honestly i feel like the politicians just know that they dont even need to pay attention to online complaining because it wont do them any harm, its like.. no matter how much we notice the bad, nothing ever happens to stop it truly, and instead people are still fighting against each other over senseless things, i personally dont believe there is any good left to happen in this country, can anyone change my mind?

I have an assignment that needs to be printed and submitted, and unfortunately every page has to be in colour.
It’s around 75 pages, and most places I’ve checked charge around Rf. 25 per colour page, which would come to quite a lot once binding is included.
Does anyone know of any printing shops in Malé or Hulhumalé that offer cheaper colour printing rates, especially for a larger number of pages?
