I had an incredible time at Canareef Resort in the Maldives, where the beautiful setting and superb service made for a memorable getaway. The spacious and comfortable rooms, complete with outdoor showers and Jacuzzis, were a highlight, although the additional costs for certain amenities were a bit unexpected. The dining experience was fabulous, offering a range of delicious options, but keep in mind that some drinks can be pricey. The resort provides a variety of activities, but prepare for some costs if you opt for excursions. Overall, a true paradise for both couples and families!
