A great book to get started with for Maldives trip planning

I'm looking at going to the Maldives sometime in 2010, and I'd love to know more about it before I blindly book a ticket and plan on visiting without knowing more about what I'm getting myself into.

The book itself is fairly comprehensive with a lot of information on eco-friendly activities (this seems to be a recent trend in travel books), along with comprehensive information about dive sites.

No doubt that the Maldives is one of the most expensive places in the world, and that you'll need time to put away money to going there. When budget hotels start at around $250 a night, I want a book that helps me figure out where and how I can get the most out of my money, and this book helps give me a good foundation on what to expect when landing.

A good place to start...

There are four main tour books for the Maldives, and this one is a good place to start. (Another good one is the Michelin guide.) This book gives a general overview of the islands and many of the resorts. Divers will want the Divers' Guide to the Maldives to fill out the information here.

LP Maldives

I find this guide very useful in terms of choosing the resorts. It has good descriptions of all the resorts in terms of facilities, clients, food served and activities. The resorts are in different chapters according to the different atolls. So, it is a good guide for choosing the right resort according to one's taste

Invaluable for tourists who plan visit the Maldives

Like all Lonely Planet guides, a mine of useful information, that proves invaluable in picking the resort that best suits your interests and pocket. A good section on diving and snorkelling. Well worth the money.

Editorial Review :

The bible for Maldives holiday-makers. Adrian Neville travelled, independently, to every resort in the country. The photographs and reviews combine to give the only accurate and detailed picture of every resort. Each review includes unique 'relative price' and 'room density' figures as well as a box of key prices and contacts. This is a beautiful way to making the right choice of resort. This is the smaller 'guidebook' size format published in August 2007. It contains the full set of reviews from the original, large format publication (ISBN 9991521658) though some photographs and graphics have been dropped to fit this smaller size.

One unbiased and comprehensive resort review source

The book gives detailed info on diving, dining, stay and all other points of interest as the author himself has stayed in every resort he is writing about. Especially for Maldives when choosing the resort is the focal point of the vacation planning and the resort stay is THE vacation this book is indispensable. I had to get mine from Maldives airport as it is hardly available otherwise.
