Bad service from Afric Stay and resort Sandies bathala Maldives

I booked my honeymoon with Africastay to the Maldives resort called Sandies Bathala in September 2024.. everything was perfect until we had to fly back from Maldives via Dubai. The resort was late in bringing us back to the airport, they claimed it was "force major" meaning something that was out of their control like bad weather... they claimed it was due to rain... there was no rain. It was a bright sunny day, the resort kept telling us, don't worry, we will get you there on time, it was a lie... we were left at the airport to fend for ourselves. We contacted Africa stay who told us they can get us on another flight but it would cost us about+-R50k.i told them that's ridiculous, you are the travel agent, the resort failed to bring us to the airport on time and now you want us to pay for this error... guess what they said it is out of their hands so basically if you want to get back on a flight either you pay up or find your own way. Disgusting. Both the resort Sandies Bathala and Africa stay gave us terrible service... so when you see specials for Sandies bathala Maldives on Africa stay, be prepared to be let down.
