'Adults-Only' Resort is the Only Way to Relax

Customer review rating 5.0/5

Christine C. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

We felt 'specialled' from the word go - from being greeted and farewelled with caring guides to the right part of the airports. All staff were very friendly and courteous and genuinely wanted to make our holiday as perfect as possible. The resort was perhaps 50% or less full, so we felt very relaxed and chilled with no crowds or noisy people. The food was amazing - the theme was changed nightly so we had a great variety. Plus they catered for gluten-free!

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We’re glad you felt well taken care of from start to finish and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and food variety. It’s great to hear our team could accommodate your dietary needs. We hope to see you again. Warm regards, Stefania Banfi Resort Manager

Pampered at Paradise Island

Customer review rating 5.0/5

Jan W. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

We loved every minute of our 10 night stay in this small, adults-only, exclusive but low key resort. From greeting us at Male airport and smoothing the way with luggage transfer, to waiting in a private lounge and then the same on the way back, there wasn't a moment when we didn't feel pampered and cocooned. The arrival at the resort was smooth, easy and friendly, which previewed how the rest of the stay would be. Ksenia, in reception was particularly welcoming. Our over-water villa was large, modern, spotlessly clean and luxurious with a little window in the floor to watch the sealife below. The bed was huge and comfy, the a/c worked well, and the wifi was excellent (as in most of the resort). The bathroom was huge, we loved the outdoor shower. Thanks to our hard working and always smiling room attendant Robiul. Our room didn't have a pool, but talking to people who splurged, said it was a real treat. We could walk down to the sea from our deck and join the sharks, rays and cuttlefish (my fave!) to name a few. At the end of our boardwalk (to the left) are steps that are the closest to the reef (about 30 mt). We snorkelled nearly every day (weather permitting) and the reef is one of the healthiest in the Maldives. It is absolutely stunning, thousands of fish, sharks, turtles. I recommend the full face masks for visibility and comfort. Sign up for the free reef tour with Christina, the wonderful, passionate marine biologist. She also accompanied us on the free sunset cruise, where a large pod of spinner dolphins (her speciality) joyfully joined us for most of the trip. We also did an early evening fishing trip (part of our package) which was fun and we had a stunning sunset. There are other trips out but we were happy with the reef. The large,infinity pool is usually nearly empty and is a great place to relax and look out at the stunning view. The food at this resort is superb, both the buffet and the delicious, authentic ala carte Italian Vista (make a reservation). All-inclusive is definitely the way to go here, wouldn't be good value in the Maldives to do B&B. For such a small and not full resort, the buffet choice was amazing and different every day. Always fresh pancakes and omelettes for breakfast with fruit, pastries, breads, yogurts. Dinners had a new theme every night and all were excellent with impeccable, friendly service with a smile. The pastry chef was a real star, providing us with an amazing selection of cakes and pastries, even homemade ice cream! We were touched on our last night to be escorted by the wonderful front of house manager, Jo Anne, to a specially decorated table. All the restaurant staff were so friendly and helpful - Made, who would see us coming for breakfast and bring out our tea, also Ali and Arif. Sorry, didn't get everyone's names! The freshly made cocktails (no cheap, watered down spirits here) and wine/beer choice at the bar were excellent. Thanks to the friendly, smiling bar staff, Kamal, Kasan, Pradeep and Pobudu. We had wonderful, relaxing massages at the spa with fragrant essential oils. Special mention to Peter, the gentle, very zen yoga teacher, who made every lesson a new and spiritual experience. Even the departure was smooth, no long wait at the airport on the island. Luggage is picked up from your room, you have lunch and the buggy takes you to the mini airport in 5 minutes, with the manager and reception staff waving you off. No stress allowed on Kooddoo! Can't fault the resort, it was incredible from start to finish. One thing to note - this island is not party central, most of the Maldives is similar. Lots of honeymooners and couples seeking tranquillity. If you want discos and karaoke, try 1 of the larger resorts.

Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful review. We’re pleased to hear your stay was smooth, relaxing, and well cared for from start to finish. It’s great to know you enjoyed the villa, the reef, the food, and the service from our team. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with everyone mentioned. We hope to welcome you back for another peaceful escape. Warm regards, Stefania Banfi Resort Manager

Thank you for your detailed and generous feedback. We’re pleased to know your 10-night stay was relaxing, smooth, and truly enjoyable. It’s rewarding to hear how many different areas—from the arrival experience to the reef, dining, and spa—made your time with us memorable. Your kind words will be shared with Ksenia, Robiul, Christina, Jo Anne, and the rest of the team. We’re glad you found exactly the peaceful escape you were looking for, and we hope to welcome you back soon. Warm regards, Stefania Banfi Resort Manager
