Grand Park Kodhipparu, Maldives

Price: $$$$$ This brand new 5-star resort is a must stay. The food was exquiste, fun, and creative. Customer service was wonderful and the spa was worth every penny. With the cheapest room reaching $600 a night, you would think that the food and drinks would be included, think again. Even though all the food was amazing, you are definetly going to need to scrap the bottom of that piggy bank if you dont plan on starving on your trip to the Maldives. But American's, you are in luck, Maldivians love US currency. so at least you wont have to worry about an exchange rate while you are going broke.
