**Honeymoon Trip - JA Manafaru, Maldives** 1. **Transportation** JA Manafaru is indeed quite far from Malé, requiring a 75-minute seaplane ride. Upon arrival, our flight was delayed by two hours due to last-minute adjustments made by the hotel. To make up for the inconvenience, the hotel provided in-room dining service, which was a thoughtful gesture. Our return trip was a combination of speedboat and domestic flight. Thankfully, the weather was perfect, with calm seas, making the speedboat experience smooth and enjoyable. 2. **Staff Service** Special thanks to our Chinese-speaking butler, Linda. Since my parents don’t speak English, we had requested a Mandarin-speaking butler in advance. Linda’s service was incredibly attentive, always making sure we were comfortable and assisting with everything from dining transportation to special requests. When my husband got sunburned, Linda promptly brought him after-sun lotion. By the fifth day, my father was missing his usual corn porridge from home, so Linda kindly arranged for the chef to prepare it. Her attention to detail was remarkable, and the other staff members were all very warm and friendly as well. 3. **Dining Experience** This place truly lives up to its reputation as a “foodie island” with a wide range of dining options, including Asian Night, teppanyaki, ocean grill, and an Italian restaurant. On our final night, we dined at the Italian restaurant, coincidentally on Maldives Night. While we’re not particularly fans of curry, the head chef thoughtfully brought out several Maldivian specialties for us to try, adding a special touch to the evening. 4. **Snorkeling Experience** There weren’t many fish directly in the waters near our room, but we were lucky to spot a nurse shark just below our room (we were in room 521—whether by chance or special arrangement, we’re not sure!). The best snorkeling spot was near the jetty, where we saw a variety of colorful fish and even manta rays. At night, quite a few nurse sharks also swam by, creating an exciting nighttime view with just a flashlight. This was my first travel journal, and we are so grateful for the attentive service from the JA team, which made for a relaxing and perfect honeymoon. We’ll definitely be back! ❤️
