Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort 4 stars

Super hotel. Proper en kamer is top.

My husband and I stayed at Mercure Kooddoo Maldives for our honeymoon last week and it was truly the most amazing experience! Asif picked us up at the arrivals gate in Male and was so incredible, he even took pictures of us with the Maldives sign before taking us to the lounge where we were able to eat and hang out in the A/C before our domestic flight. All transportation was so easy and taken care of by the Mercure staff. The greeting at the resort made us feel like VIP guests and we were very pleased to see all of the health and safety measures taken by staff to make us have the best possible stay. The Overwater Villa was a dream and the entire resort was so beautiful and clean. Our excursions included the jet ski ride to the sandbar, dolphin cruise, and two trips to the incredible spa, all of which were amazing experiences! We took advantage of the included snorkeling gear and explored off our back porch every day. We encountered the most beautiful fish and swam with some reef sharks! Every staff member was so friendly and took the time to get to know us and our preferences throughout the stay. Yukthi even made us specialty cocktails! A major highlight was the floating drink tray we got to enjoy in the infinity pool complete with several cocktails in fresh fruit and a cheese tray. The meals at the Alita restaurant were always so delicious and our one dinner at the Vistas was memorable as well. Our waiter there brought us bread to feed the fish off the deck which was so entertaining! Two nights during our stay the pool bar held an outdoor movie night where we were able to enjoy the sunset and some popcorn (and cocktails of course) and watch movies on the pool deck. Our weather was truly perfect the whole week with sunshine and blue skies, the water was crystal clear, and our hearts were so full. This was truly the most magical honeymoon destination!

We are very satisfied, our wedding organisation and stay was perfect!

AMAZING! We can start with that, from the pick up to drop off; everything was absolutely amazing, the staff was incredible, the amenities were great, everyone was super friendly and accomodating.

We were treated well from the beginning of our stay all the way until our departure. All staff are very attentive and very respectful of us. Reymond, Joan, Yonathan and Sen were particularly helpful. We were all sad when it was time for us to leave.

I found the overall experience to be excellent. 5 Days in paradise was a great break for me and has recharged my batteries

Everything was good, very nice room with an awesome view, always something to watch in the sea, sharks (friendly!) Dolphins, flying fish, etc. The resort has amazing vistas, the food was nice and the staff are very helpful.

Excellent and helpful staff. We were fully taken care of

The food was fantastic, staff service was second-to-none, location was incredible, and the cabana residence was in great condition. I was thrilled with everything about my experience.

My stay was impeccable. The overwater bungalow with the pool was perfect. The staff was friendly and attentive, the food and drinks were excellent, and everything was clean and efficient. The snorkeling off of my room as well as with the dive team was amazing -- sharks, turtles, stingrays, and dolphins! The spa treatment was absolutely incredible, as well.

It was our 20th anniversary and we wanted it to be really special. Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort didn't disappoint us at all! I don't find the words to describe our happiness. Every single detail is worth appreciation. However, the most special aspect is the staff: the kindest and friendliest persons on earth! We never felt like guests, but more as friends where everyone did their best to ensure we were comfortable and relaxing. From the moment we arrived, everything was smooth and easy and well-prepared. Even the short notice requests I had to celebrate our anniversary were perfectly implemented. We were so sad that we had to leave! This will never be the last time, and I look forward to my next holiday.

New and very well maintained resort, common and private parts are beautifully designed and well equipped, wonderful gardens, beaches and infinity pool areas, very tasty and diverse culinary experience, enough activities and excursions to avoid any possible boredom over a long stay, good Wi-Fi coverage (could be a tight faster in the water villas), all-inclusive package well worth it, very well priced compared to other resorts, and most importantly an unusual level of truly personalised client care delivered with constant smiles. Everything combined led to an absolute level of relaxation, the exact definition of "time-off", which is what one would expect from the Maldives. The resort is not spread across a vast area which gives it a cosy feel and relaxing walks from place A to B boasting fantastic views and post cards scenes every time. The beaches are very clean, just as all other areas of the resort. Excursions are all great, but what we truly appreciated was the chance to snorkel daily among sharks, turtles, and a mesmerising variety of tropical fishes and corals... not miles away but right by our water villa! They are all around, only expecting you to dive in and say "hello"! Koodoo island hosts an air strip which may generate some noise once and then, but certainly not more than hearing speedboats or sea planes in-and-out at other resorts. Bottom line, we have been multiple times in the Maldives and have never got as much bang for our bucks so to speak! Keep up with the great work Voodoo! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Had an amazing time in the mercure. The over water with pool sunset villa was perfect. We were a swim away from amazing underwater life. The location is just perfect.loved the fact that it was a kind of boutique hotel, not a big resort. The housekeeping staff was absolutely amazing, the reception staff super as well. The down point was the food, i understand it an island secluded who needs to import pretty much everything. The service was good but not great except in the vista bar best cappucino ever and super nice staff there , switched on ,interesting and kind. The staff at the diving center was nice as well especially the one who we did the turtle with (forgot his name) the snorkeling with the turtle was an absolute blast i had the best time and even wanted to do it again. The fact that we can use the paddle, kayak... Was really appreciated, the only thing is that there is sunbed only for the one who stays in the villa for us nothing on the beach as we have our villa i guess.they welcomed us nicely with a nice touch on the bed for our wedding anniversary but that was it .

The Resort is a reality of "Paradise on Earth" location. Was worth the 450Kms additional trip by Air. The Staff is the main back bone of the Resort, However, a few excelled in their duties. Dinesh at the Poolside Bar raised our Spirits a few notches Higher. Jayasinghe raised our weight by a couple of Kgs by meeting ALL our food requests to perfection. Kim ensured that all our needs were accepted without a wimp. Niroshan was at our beck & call. To All the above most important is being an Accor Plus member of this wonderful Group. We would like the Resort to give or sell Souvenirs of the Resort for future memories.

It was a hen trip for my best friend. It's one of the best hotels we've ever stayed in. The island, the hotel, the service, the staff and the food. Everything was perfect. I definitely recommend the hotel and the beach villas :)
