This was our 4th visit to this wonderful island paradise. Booked through Travelbag and included in the price we paid was a free transfer using the domestic flight.|We took the direct flight with BA from Heathrow which got us to Male for approximately 0900hrs. Met by the Komandoo representative we were told to report back at 1030 and taken to the domestic terminal, about a 2 minute walk. The flight was at mid-day and took roughly 20 minutes. After a short wait for our luggage we were escorted to our transport, a speedboat which whisked us off to Komandoo...we were on the island for 1410hrs, island time, and taken straight to lunch.|Our island host, Haazim was our room boy when we stayed last year. After finalising check in details he took us to our room, Turtle05, on the sunset side of the island. We have always stayed on sunrise side so thought we would mix it up a bit this year.|Our room boy this year was Ath-Hur, he was our invisible magician; cleaning our room whilst we were at meals and also providing some of the best towel art we have seen...!|At meal times we were greeted by the ever smiling, ever happy Leem and Dickshana, our waiter was Asim who ensured we kept hydrated and knew our drinks of choice after the first couple of days. He was also one of the waiters at Aqua so we had a different waiter on each evening, except on a Monday.|Food at all meal times was excellent... such a wide choice and so very well presented. Alex, you have a great team that you must be so very proud of. Kumar, thank you for your delicious omelettes, Naren, your naan breads are the best we have EVER had anywhere, Godson and Rajan, the food at Aqua is amazing, such a beautiful menu and presented so beautifully. Riza, Yousef, Wahab and the newly promoted Kaleem along with all the other waiting staff keep the meal time service running so smoothly.|Drinks service by the pool was also excellent, provided by Suraj, Biji and Dipendra, along with a couple others which we didn't note names. A special thank you to Biji who helped us from the sunset bar one afternoon after locking ourselves out!!|Beyaa, the General Manager is an ever present at breakfast and around the island, interacting with guests and staff, ensuring all is well in his paradise 'kingdom'...|During our 12 night stay, yes we did have rain, although all in all was about 30 minutes worth so nothing too much to worry about and it did not spoil our stay at all.|Alas, all things must come to an end.... our boat transport to the domestic airport departed at 0530. Flight from Madivaru was 0550 (Male time) and we also stopped at another island to pick up more passengers. Arrival into Male was 0650hrs and our check in for our flight home opened at 0830hrs.|A massive thank you to ALL island champions for making our stay on Komandoo so amazing.
