Went for our honeymoon and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and really went out their way for us. It was also my birthday and the whole day they went above and beyond for me, had a happy birthday set up on the bed when we came back and had a special table set for me for dinner. So many reef sharks and incredible fish right at your door, and we went snorkelling with turtles and saw dolphins on a cruise. Poppy, Sandeep, Naveen and Kory were amazing and really made so much effort with us! Highly recommend this hotel!
Where do I start… a girlfriend trusted me to find somewhere in the world to celebrate her 60th and man did I deliver 😊 (seriously I had no way of knowing how how much!). Having the brief of “I want to go to an island somewhere” I had absolutely no idea just how incredibly amazing our stay would be! The staff oh my! Our Luxury Escapes guide at Male who greeted us at the airport was just the beginning of an experience of a lifetime, Sienna, who greeted us at Kooddoo after our direct flight from Melbourne and connecting flight to Kooddoo, Anastasia, who was our go to and checked in on us making sure we had everything we needed, Ivy and the wellness team oh my!, the pool bar staff, Naveen, Rachita, Pubudu, Kunal and Kasun - you guys absolutely rock! Not to mention everyone in the restaurant (no chance of remembering everyone but please know you were awesome!!!). Smiles for miles!
The dive team - you guys ensured that my very anxious and very frightened friend who had a previously horrible experience snorkeling in another country managed to actually enjoy her experience and overcome a very big fear.
The other guests we met just made our stay even better! What a great bunch of humans!
I am very happy to say I will have gained laugh lines that I will wear with pride from our time with you all!
Location - breathtaking! Atmosphere - vibrant, so welcoming, the most beautiful staff who we could not fault even if we tried Room - OMG! Beach front villa with our private pool and maybe a 3 metre walk to the beach Value - value!?? Priceless !!!! Cleanliness - spotless - I didn’t put the make up room sign out and they still came to do it!!! Amenities - we wanted for nothing!
Thank you to every one of you ❤️💕❤️ - Kym and Kim
If you are looking for a holiday with total relaxation in mind, this is the place to go! The overwater rooms are beautiful, an infinity pool to die for and snorkelling off your balcony in paradise is the best.
The staff are wonderful and always on hand to help, nothing is too much trouble. The food is delicious and the choice of a second restaurant gives some variety.
The massages are amazing, pure relaxation.
The view is something you could never get sick of looking at.
We had a wonderful stay at Mercure Maldives, enjoying the beautiful resort, exceptional snorkelling, delicious food and friendly, attentive staff. The snorkelling allowed us to see sharks, rays, turtles and diverse marine life.
Resort is suited to couples, singles and groups.
Whilst ALL of the staff were amazing, I would like to call out Sandeep our resort contact and Ida from the wellness centre.
My only recommendation is some extra hooks in the outside shower or a clothes rack so clothes could dry quicker.
We left with unforgettable memories and would happily recommend the resort and return.
Amazing location and staff. Overwater bungalow was so worth it. All the staff were super helpful and friendly and went out of their way to make our stay very memorable.
