Our stay at Mercure Maldives Kooddoo was amazing in every way, and we truly enjoyed every moment of it. From the very beginning, our host Shubham was incredibly supportive and always available, making sure everything ran smoothly and that we always had a point of contact for any need. Every member of the staff contributed to making our stay memorable. Poppy greeted us with a smile at every meal and was always kind and attentive, as were all the team members who took care of our meals and cocktails. Silani took wonderful care of our villa and also introduced us to Maldivian arts and crafts. Santosh gave us a fascinating and engaging tour of the garden, sharing his expertise and even showing us how to climb the trees to collect coconuts. Last but certainly not least, the amazing crew of the Suvadiva boat made our diving experience unforgettable. Our diving guide, Will, took us on incredible dives and was always happy to answer all our questions, satisfy our curiosity, and accommodate every need. The spa experience was also fantastic. The two expert masseuses provided a relaxing and excellent full-body massage and even taught us some techniques we could use at home. I highly recommend staying at Mercure Maldives Kooddoo for a truly relaxing and unforgettable experience, with amazing food, a beautiful coral reef, and exceptional care from the entire staff.

Before booking an all-inclusive package at Mercure Maldives Kooddoo, be aware that “all-inclusive” really means inclusive only within what Mercure management decides you can have. We specifically chose to return to Kooddoo because we stayed here three years ago, when the all-inclusive package was genuinely 100% inclusive. We had such a good experience that we decided to come back. Unfortunately, what is now being sold as “all-inclusive” is very different from the package we experienced previously. If you’d like to sit back at your villa and enjoy a few drinks with your partner, think again. The minibar contains 2 beers and 4 sodas. If your partner would like something else, or you simply want a couple more beers without having to head to the bar, you’ll be paying extra. The minibar snacks consist of one packet of Pringles and a small packet of mixed nuts, which hardly goes far when you’re spending time relaxing at your villa. So you head to the bar to relax by the pool. You can choose from the limited beer options included in your package, or, wait for it… PAY extra for a decent beer, because apparently that’s an add-on to an “all-inclusive” package. Want a snack or something to eat while relaxing by the pool between meal times? Get the credit card out again. Food and snacks outside of breakfast, lunch and dinner are also an additional charge. Then there are the “included” non-motorised water activities. Your included option is a kayak or paddle board for one hour. Want to use the clear-bottom kayak instead? That will be USD $70 extra. This is where our frustration comes from. The package is presented and sold as all-inclusive, yet once you arrive there are exclusions and additional charges throughout the experience. In our view, the meaning of “all-inclusive” has been heavily restricted by Mercure management compared with what was offered here three years ago. We actually raised our concerns on Day 2 of our stay, explaining that we had specifically booked an all-inclusive holiday and were unhappy to discover how many things were now excluded. The response we received was essentially “too bad, this is how it is.” That response was particularly disappointing considering we are returning guests who came back specifically because of how good our previous all-inclusive experience at Kooddoo had been. To be clear, the bar and restaurant staff have been amazing. They seem to understand the frustration surrounding how the packages have changed and have been very good at warning us when something we order isn’t included before we are charged. Our issue isn’t with the staff. It’s with how the all-inclusive package is structured, managed and presented to guests. If you’re considering Kooddoo because you see “all-inclusive”, I would strongly recommend finding out exactly what is and isn’t included before paying for your holiday. Based on our previous stay three years ago, we expected the all-inclusive experience we remembered. That is not what we returned to.

Dear Ms. R., Thank you very much for taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback with us. We are delighted to know that you enjoyed your accommodation, the cleanliness of the resort, breakfast, and especially the care and attention of our team. It is also wonderful to hear that our restaurant and bar colleagues took the time to explain the inclusions and advise you before any additional charges were incurred. We are, however, truly sorry that some of the changes to our packages affected your experience, particularly as you were returning to Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort after your previous stay with us in 2023. We completely understand that, as a returning guest, you may have expected a similar experience, and we regret that some of the package inclusions were not clear enough. Our meal plans and packages are regularly reviewed and updated, and the latest inclusions are shared with our travel partners. While we offer different options across our meal plans, including additional choices for guests who wish to enhance their selection, we are sorry that this was not communicated clearly enough to you and caused disappointment during your stay. We also appreciate your understanding that packages may occasionally be revised to remain competitive, while our intention is always to maintain the quality and overall experience we offer to our guests. Most importantly, we sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns with us. Your feedback is important to us, and we will take it on board to improve how we communicate these details to our guests. Thank you again for recognising our team despite your concerns. We truly value your return to Kooddoo and are sorry that this visit did not leave you with the same positive impression as your previous stay. We sincerely hope you will give us another opportunity to welcome you back and create the memorable experience you were hoping for.

Rosamaria M. Friends - Confirmed reviews ALL

Lovely staff and resort. Unfortunately the quality of food is not very good. The luxury escape package seemed somewhat underwhelming. Given there is only one other restaurant (not always open) there should be better quality food in the main dining room.

Karen A. F. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

The accomm was lovely, clean, staff all great. The only rhing lacking was a convenience store. We went to reception and asked for a headache tablet. The male told us he didn't have one but the doctor would be available at 9am the next morning. We didn't want a Dr, just some pharmaceuticals. I ended up having a headache for 3 days. I was hoping to buy a headache tablet once I got to Male, but we were rushed through to the gate, and I could not buy one until I got back to Melbourne. The other reason a convenience store would be paramount is because some people, like myself, are addicted to chocolate. Or my husband loves potato chips. The pringles in the room were not very nice at all, and gave you an aftertaste. This is the perfect opportunity for a local family to run a shop for the tourists, providing chips, chocolates, lollies, (a small packet of gummie bears every day is not really sufficient). Every night I craved some Cadbury chocolate. I think our domestic plane ran late and hence no time at the airport for anything, however we were looking forward to the souvenir shop at the airport which we didn't get to attend. Also we lost most of our party. Apparently they were in some nice lounge which we didn't get taken to. My last criticism is that we probably should have been given some warning that it was potentially going to be a red flag day for a few days according to the weather and we should have been given a heads up that we weren't going to be able to snorkel, do water sports or get in the water so we could have taken advantage of the opportunity of the green/yellow flags at the start of the week. All staff were wonderful but point to note, one male staff member asked my husband if he would like another drink and ignored me, and another time took my husband's dirty dishes away and again ignored me. A very sexist upbringing came shining through but I know it's hard for them to treat women as equals when they are not brought up that way. I absolutely loved getting a lift in the golf buggy from my over water bungalow to the restaurant when it was raining and also getting a lift home when it was raining. Good on you girls!! Being nearly 60 years old, I found the blue lighting at night time probably not quite bright enough even though you're trying to create an atmosphere with ambience. It's quite dangerous walking along at night time or in the dark. It would have been really good if all of the overwater bungalows had of had a bicycle to use to ride around between the restaurant and home and anywhere else on the island like Six Senses Lamu have for their guests. I don't want to be all negative, so again, the accommodation, the staff, the food, the bar staff and drinks were all fantastic!! Right down to the engineers ❤️

Dear Ms. Karen, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed and thoughtful feedback following your stay at Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort. We are delighted to know that you enjoyed your accommodation, the cleanliness, food and drinks, and especially the wonderful service provided by our team. It is lovely to hear that our buggy team was able to assist you during the rainy weather, and we will certainly share your kind words with them and our Engineering team. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience you experienced when looking for basic medication. We understand how frustrating it must have been to be unwell for several days, and we appreciate your suggestion regarding a small convenience shop with a wider selection of snacks and essential items. Your comments regarding the airport transfer and lounge arrangements have also been noted, as well as your suggestion for better communication regarding weather and sea conditions so guests can make the most of suitable water-activity days. We are also sorry to hear about the experiences where you felt you were not given the same attention as your husband. This is certainly not the level of service we expect to provide, and your feedback will be shared with the relevant team for awareness and follow-up. Your comments regarding the pathway lighting are equally valuable. While we aim to maintain a pleasant ambience around the island, guest safety and comfortable visibility must always remain a priority, and we will review this accordingly. Thank you once again for balancing your constructive feedback with such generous recognition of our team. Your 100/100 ratings for accommodation, cleanliness, breakfast and our team mean a great deal to us. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you and your husband back in the future for an even more enjoyable and seamless island experience. Warm regards, Kseniia Dolganova Guest Experience Manager Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort

Suphalak Y. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

We had a wonderful stay at Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort. The resort is beautiful, peaceful, and perfect for couples. Our Sunset Pool Villa was spacious, comfortable, and had an amazing ocean view. We especially loved the private pool and the glass floor, where we could see fish swimming below our room. The sea was very clear and beautiful, and we enjoyed seeing many colorful fish and even small reef sharks near the villa. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made us feel welcome throughout our stay. The food and drinks were also very good. This trip was a special and unforgettable experience for us. Thank you to everyone at Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort for making our vacation so relaxing and memorable. We would love to return again.
