The hospitality at this resort is the epitome to which all resorts should aspire. I was worried about buffet style dining but the variety, the flavors and the efforts to accommodate other tastes was inspirational. The villas were superb. Diving great but snorkeling on house reef is almost as good. The staff is the resorts greatest asset. I wish I could remember all names but Ibrahim, Shifa, Jo ann and I apologize for not remembering other names, Many of the chefs were helpful and tallented.

One downside was that the jet skies we enjoyed last time were not available due to maintenance. Plus the dive center was understaffed. From 7 in 2024 to 2 in 2025.

I'm stunned that we showed up to this resort and everything looked exactly like the photos. Whenever you Google "the Maldives" this must be the resort that pops up in photos. Everything has been great so far. The staff is very accommodating and courteous. The water is amazing. The villa is well-situated on the water. The infinity pool and direct access to the Indian Ocean is unmatched! We will certainly return if we can afford to. I don't want to leave now!

The arrival and picking from the Male to the resort was well planned and seamless, we very much appreciate their attention of the details from the staff meeting us at the Male international arrival hall, taking us to the domestic terminal and waiting in the lounge and the flight to the kooddoo and the resort.
Beautiful rooms on the water, immaculate scenery, delicious foods and great service staffs. Truly an experience of a life time!

Suggest the hotel to offer some sort of pool exercises in the morning for their guests.

My husband and I booked and rebooked this vacation several times before we were actually able to go. It was worth the wait! The staff was very responsive to our change of dates and requests as we were booking. I had mentioned early in the booking process that we would like a villa as close to the end of the walk as possible and arrived to find we were in the villa second from the end. All of the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Staff coordinated with the hotels we stayed with before and after our arrival, which made the whole thing effortless. It was so nice to arrive and have someone waiting for you. We never even had to stop and think about where we needed to go. We bought our vacation through Travelzoo and the discounted activities/excursions offered through Travelzoo were different than the ones typically offered through the resort. The resort honored Travelzoo's discounts with the provided voucher. You can tell they work hard to provide excellent customer service. The resort is less than a 1 minute golf cart ride from the hotel, though other than the sound of the rare plane landing and taking off, you would never know you were airport was there. The grounds are beautifully kept. We stayed in an over the water sunset villa with a pool and loved it. The room was large and bed comfy. The mini bar was restocked daily. Internet connection was good throughout the resort. The sunset view was unobstructed and beautiful. Snorkeling right off of our deck was amazing when we were able to get in the water. We saw so many types of fish, sharks, and turtles both from our deck and when snorkeling. Unfortunately, it was quite windy on most days so we weren't able to jet ski, kayak, or stand up paddle board. The pool was fresh water, and we were happy we selected a villa with a pool. We only ate at the buffet though there is an Italian restaurant as well. The buffet had such a large and delicious variety of food that we never felt the need to go to the restaurant. We booked a couples massage. As someone who has had hundreds of massages, I can honestly say it was excellent. I also had a facial which I enjoyed. I felt the prices for the spa treatments were reasonably priced. We really enjoyed the adults only atmosphere. Even though there were no children, it was not a party atmosphere. I would highly recommend coming here if you are looking to relax in a beautiful location with good food, great service, and no children.

This was our second time at the resort and we had a great time. The first time was in February 2023. The weather in October is not as nice, but the service and peaceful nature of the resort made up for it.

Staff went above and beyond, upgrading us to a villa with a pool at no extra cost since we’d stayed here before and we’re celebrating retirement. Amenities seem to be a little less than previous visit, but still really great (ie change in vouchers for discount amount of spa, in-room minibar scaled back). Amazing staff eager to accommodate wants/needs.

Overall a very good experience at the resort. However, the weather was horrible the 5 days we stayed with a lot of rain, very high winds, and very rough seas. This caused red flag conditions which prevented us from doing any water activities. It was a huge disappointment for our group. Obviously the resort cannot control the weather, but beware that the weather here can be nasty and last for days.

Not my first trip to the Maldives but my first in an overwater bungalow. If you’re going to come all the way over to the Maldives, an over water bungalow is a must. Pay the extra money. You will never remember the cost and you will always remember the experience. The MERCURE team is fabulous. First class service. Great amenities.

The hotel has many rules upon which they are very inflexible. The resort puts in lots of little hidden fees and does not disclose everything clearly. Transfers to the island are not as promised. Wine offering is terrible. Food is varied but not great quality from our perspective. Once on the facility, you must utilize an app to find out activities, look at the menu, etc. That said, the app is inaccurate and vague. In addition, activities require a personal assistant to get them done rather with, again, a lot of unnecessary footwork to make anything happen. Also, the private pools are really cold so nobody wanted to use them.

Beautiful location- very remote, meaning the resort is far from Male where any shopping or “city” would be- a little research would tell you that too. But it is a lovely place to relax on the beach.
