I discovered Zeldiva through the persistent YouTube ads we often skip, but one day, while occupied with something else, their ad caught my attention. For me, it was a "gerrari" as to where to go for my honeymoon trip, i.e., the most preferred destination, the Maldives. I thought of getting in touch with the Zeldiva team, and from the beginning to the end, the experience was seamless. Their website made it easy to manage everything from budgeting to selecting a resort. I must commend their dedicated team for their assistance. Although my preferred resort was fully booked, I trusted their recommendation, and it turned out to be a wise decision. Not only did I have an amazing time, but it also cost less than expected. While booking directly with the resort is an option, I believe using Zeldiva brings peace of mind. Therefore, I highly recommend their services.
I don't know how she did it but Merissa got us by far the best deal for our stay in Maldives and seamlessly managed a booking of 18 people just a few weeks before departure, and remained contactable throughout. I will definitely use Zeldiva again! Thank you!
It was first time we visited Maldives & it was nice to deal with Zeldiva Luxury team to plan our trip, they are very professional & giving clear information. We would like to thank Ellen who was very helpful & cooperative. Highly recommended
Can't say enough thank you for the best holiday I've ever had. Thanks to Merissa, I got the best deal for my holiday, she was always available for my thousands questions and took a really good care of me. If you want to go to the Maldives, do it with Zeldiva.
Highly recommend Zeldiva Luxury to any one planning a trip to the Madlives. Marissa's help ensured a smooth booking process, a better deal and ease of mind, for that I am truly grateful. Also thankful for meeting Ahmed from the Zeldiva team who greeted us at the airport during arrival and also during the departure. He was a great help, ensuring that my wife, infant daughter and I had a smooth transition from the plane to boat and back from boat to plane at both times, even giving us information about the Maldives (explaining Kumari Kandam! which I wont forget about). Thank you for making our stay at the Maldives easy and smooth. I would recommend using Zeldiva Luxury to anyone planning on going to the Madlives to ensure getting a better deal, smooth transport transition and ease of mind
