**************************************
In the Maldives, sinks or bathtubs/jacuzzis may be open and integrated into the main living area of the hotel room without spatial separation.
*************************************
In the Maldives, most rooms are equipped with one or two queen/king-size beds. For a booking of 2 adults + 1 or 2 children, there may only be 1 or 2 large beds available in total. Consequently, it may occur that for 2 adults + 1 or 2 children in one room, a child has to sleep in the parents' bed.
*************************************
Please note that rooms with direct pool/sea access can only be booked for travelers with children aged 7 and above for safety reasons.
