Hi
you can use your bank card, I took very little cash ( may 500 USD ) and charged everything to the room I think we settled our bill on a weekly basis
hope that helps ?

You really only need cash for tipping staff, and the airport on the way home.
The rest can be payed for with your bank card. Does not have to be a credit card.
Last time we went our seaplane was delayed due to the weather, So we were straight through the airport and did not have chance to spend anything. And it was the same at Dudai.
I was heartbroken passing all the Duty free shops and not being able to buy some fags.

Take US Dollars for tipping and Cards for everything else.
$100 - $200 shd be enouigh depending on how much you tip.

You give tips in cash . We gave the room boy and our waiter their tip at the end of our holiday. We gave the barmen their tips every few days.

Yup, everything on your card (might want to take two cards just in case!) and then take smallish bills for tipping waiters/bar staff/room boys/trips etc

How does tipping work is it done daily or weekly ? Am thinking between 10 and 20 dollars a week who do you tip ? Also do you pay airport tax in Male inwards and outbound ? Sorry so many questions any help much appreciated

You dont pay any airport tax, In or out.
Tipping is really a personal thing.
Me i think $20 a week, For room boy, Waiter is really fair.
Also S10 here and there to people give good service.
Dont forget to take some money with you on a trip,
Because on most of the trips there is nothing to spend on.
So people sometimes forget to take some money.
