Our stay at Radisson Blu Maldives began as a dream. The food from Chef Khursheed was exceptional — every dish was full of flavor — and Vineet, our server, took care of us with genuine warmth throughout. They truly made the trip memorable. But everything changed on our last day. Our flight was first scheduled at 3 PM, then delayed to 4 PM, so we requested a late check-out. At most resorts, 2 PM is a standard courtesy, but here it became an argument. The duty manager, Shamal, kept us waiting more than 20 minutes, never once asked how our stay had been, and finally told us it would cost USD 200++ just to keep the room for two extra hours. His words were, “we are running a business.” A small gesture — even extending to 1 PM — would have shown care. Instead, we left with frustration and disappointment. After such a beautiful stay, the final impression we carried was that, for him, it was no longer hospitality… only business.
