I was excited to see the new terminal of Chennai Airport. The airport looked nice and swanky from outside. The check-in process was so slow. The person trying to check-in was confused whether we have to take the luggage at Cochin or at Maldives. He did ask us to collect it from Maldives. The baggage belt at Check-in counter was not working. So you could see everyone getting frustrated. We had our breakfast at "Balaji Stall" before the security check. It was super yummy. The aroma of Sambar was lingering around that we ordered Idly and satisfied our craving :)

The airport looked nice inside and you could see a lot of work was still pending. There was a baby care room, but it was locked. When you have so many passengers using the airport, how can it not be functional. There are many passengers with babies, who are going to use the facility!!! Anyways my flight was delayed by more than an hour. When we reached the Cochin airport, we enquired with the ground staff. They advised us to take the luggage and then shift to International Terminal.
During our check in at Chennai airport, the person issued our ticket for Cochin to Male as well. This made our check-in process at Cochin easy. We had to wait for about an hour at Cochin Airport. The airport was quite deserted and i didn't find staff at few of the stall. My MIL got a cute baby umbrella at one of the stall. Thank god there was a baby room at this airport!! There was limited option to eat at the airport. After an hour wait at the airport, we boarded the flight. The flight duration was again short. The flight was not full, so each of us occupied a row. It was a blessing in disguise when you have a baby :)
Finally we reached Maldives and Four Seasons has a lounge at the airport. One can refresh with water, tea/coffee, fruits, snacks like nuts, energy bars, etc. Since we were the only one to arrive, we left the airport immediately. We were offered cold towel (Badly needed one) and water on the boat. And yes, they had wi-fi. The ride lasted for about 30 minutes. Upon reaching the hotel, there was a band playing to welcome us. There was a refreshing drink offered to us. What was extra special, was the drink offered to my son in a cute cup and straw.
They informed us about the upgrade to Sunset Water Bungalow from Sunrise Water Bungalow. The room was nice and spacious. They had placed a crib with diaper, a fish toy and few other accessories for my son. We had the 1st room, so we could see the adult pool from our room as well. They informed my MIL about yoga and meditation. So she was off for her evening yoga, while hubby and me enjoyed the adult pool.
We tried the Indian restaurant "Baarabaru". It was fantastic. The food served was brilliant. One thing that I love about Four Seasons, is the service. It's outstanding. The best I've seen in hospitality service so far. When we returned to our room, we found the cooling of air-conditioner to be bad. But the night had to be passed and we were hoping the next day would be better
