Jacuzzi beach villa, Vilamendhoo, South Ari Atoll, Maldives

The pros of the room is that it can save quite some energy of the air-conditioning because it's comparatively smaller than the same room type of its sister chain resort.  The cons is the half of the interior furniture being a bit too dark to find your own things.  One interesting thing is this chain resort having the bottled water on charge for all the room types except water villa.  Since we stayed at the water villas of their sister property (Veligandu and Meeru), we wouldn't notice that until we tried their beach villa.  Personally I don't think it's nice to have this little thing be charged though it's just US$3 for one bottled water.

$3 US for bottle water is expensive.
The rest room is big.

In fact, this resort management is a bit not too smart from not including this water in the room rate. Lets say if they add up with US$10 covering 2 bottles of water, it wouldn't be too odd for the guests to even think they need to buy water at US$3. Let alone, say the hotel has even got an extra US$2. So when the guests won't notice the slight difference of a room rate as US$400 and US$410. So the former one is a rate without water but the latter does. Who knows this $10 difference.

Little things added up become big. I read another article today by saying how the rich will make wiser money of their big saving. Someone used an AE black card in an auction for an antique at a cost of US$ 10 million. Then he can get the huge mileage from the card transaction which can get him 14 roundtrip first class from HK to NYC, when some credit cards would have 3-5 times when it exceeds certain amount of spending. Say one first class is about HK$150k. 14 can be HK$2.1 million, which is US$0.35 m.
