Hi Nick,
Thanks for the note and it’s been changed! Got to love Google images sometimes!
Thanks,

The Maldives is the most beautiful and quiet place for traveling. The beaches, blue lagoons, and extensive reefs are just eye-catching. These islands are very impressive and the best place for newlyweds. The resort you have mentioned looks so cool and so impressive. I hope it opens soon. The overall ambiance of this hotel looks great. The Maldives will be my Honeymoon spot for sure. I will definitely visit this hotel when I will visit The Maldives. Thank you for sharing this great post. Keep Posting.

Hi Darren,
The Maldives is one of the best places in the world for snorkeling and scuba diving and the reefs are really incredible. You won’t be disappointed! 🙂
