To my past experience, the good parts for not taking the all-inclusive or full board are that you can get to try other restaurants and not necessarily drink those heavy syrup or alcoholic drinks. The all-inclusive plan usually is at about US$200 per head per day covering 3 meals plus drinks in the resort. If you don't care about drinking some thrift brand wine, soft drinks, this is good for you. On full board, it's usually at about US$120-150 per head per day. However, this resort is crazily charged at over US$250 for All-inclusive. So I had to forgo it. Thought that I could find a better variety of food choices. Turned out even though they have 2 restaurants - one is called Sarong and the other Spice, are serving the same menu with only 5-6 choices for Japanese food and 5-6 choices for Thai food. Also turned out we were ones of the very few who didn't go for All-inclusive. So many others are taking the set dinner. The waiters found that we were giving them a hard time. Fortunately the food is not that bad, but still very pricey, e.g. a fried rice at US$28 and a beef stir-fried with onion at US$36. The other 5 star resorts like Niyama and Velassaru charged just US$18-25 for most dishes. Well, all I can say I am lucky to experience finally what I was told "Maldives is so expensive". This resort is really making Maldives a shame.
