Is it true that you should take dollars to the Maldives?
Yes, take dollars... You can exchange them at the Male airport. But you can pay at the resort both in dollars and in the local currency. At the resort, money is not particularly needed if you have all-inclusive. But if there are spa services, excursions, etc., then you can calculate everything yourself... The spa starts at $100.
Dima, at the resort you can only pay with dollars, the resort does not accept rufiya, don't confuse people.
@Vit: This is an exception rather than a rule; resorts operate under different taxation, and therefore have the right not to accept rufiyaa, so it is necessary to clarify in advance to avoid getting stuck.
@Gfo: Hmm. We paid with rufiyaa and dollars at the resort. True, they recalculated the rufiyaa at the current dollar exchange rate, that's true. But the possibility is there.
@Gfo: I'll keep that in mind. Thank you. So, it was very lucky)
