Have you seen the Mantalay?

I took below photo in Maldives. Beautiful sea, great fish, Maldives is a paradise.
I stayed at Bandos. Very close to Male airport, but beautiful coral aroud the island.
Families who have children fit this resort. Free child care and kind staff welcomed us.
Excursions are reasonable. I joined all which are possible and all excursions were very good.
But if you are windsurfer, I don't recommend this island. Fin hit the coral and I was thrown on the coral. My leg hurt very much. If you love shunokeling, I recommend this resort. Beautiful Coral and various and a lot of fish wait you in House leaf. You may see turtles, sharks.
 

Maldives 1

It was an amazing experience to swim with big wild turtle.

I was very tired before going to Maldives. Of course, 10+hours flight to Maldives is tough for everyone, but 6 nights stay refleshed my whole life. It was an amazing experience.
