Klaryze Mercado – PHILIPPINES –
Visiting the Maldives was just a dream but with Indulge Maldives that dream turned into reality! The team was all very helpful, from Emma who first replied to my inquiries, Kristie who smoothly organize everything for us, to the ground team we’ve met there (Firushan & Ammaday).
We booked the 5N Local & Resort Island Hopping Package & loved the experience! The infinity pool at Season Paradise was beautiful, the sandbak trip was amazing & the stay at Araamu Holidays was relaxing! I completely recommend Indulge Maldives as they are not a ‘normal’ travel agency – they do their thing with passion! Thank you so much Kristie for making this trip an unforgettable one! I’ll surely book with you guys again next time I go back to the Maldives!
Amimo –
The idea of going to the Maldives was just an idea until I stumbled upon Kristies website.Immediately I clicked on the website I knew we would be going.It was no longer an idea.We had the most amazing time in the Maldives courtesy of Indulge Maldives.Kristie organised everything for us and even went the extra mile to ensure we got some of the items we misplaced at the facilities we went.Like Kristie we cannot thank you enough.Overall I would rate them at 10/10.For the excursions you are solely attended to,nothing like being crammed up with other tourists.The transfers throughout the stay were right on time and are very clean.Kristie was right on call whenever we felt like we needed her input on certain things.To crown our trip Hupa took amazing photos and drone videos that we will certainly live to remember.If youre still not sure about picking up a trip with them,you should.Why? because they can easily tailor a package that suits your pocket just like they did for us.I assure you quality is a guarantee as we left the Maldives much happier than we came in.Thank you Indulge Maldives.
