Recep Ö TripAdvisor review

Everything is great in this hotel. High level of service and privacy. Quality of rooms is great! Food just perfect and every day new meals. This hotel gave us the best experience about diving - there is PADI dive center at the territory of the hotel and their home reef is spectacular - we swam with turtles and sharks, stingrays and manta rays. Water was crystal clear. At the end of September we not face any rain in the day time - just few short rains at night. Special thanks to our diver instructor Agus. Our vacation in this cozy place overcomes all our expectations.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the high level of service, privacy, and the quality of the rooms, as well as the variety of meals. It’s wonderful that you had such an amazing diving experience with Agus and enjoyed the beauty of our home reef. We’re glad the weather cooperated during your stay and that your vacation exceeded expectations. We look forward to welcoming you back soon! Warm regards, Stefania Banfi Resort Manager​⬤

Maldivian dreams come true

TripAdvisor rating 4.0/5

Ruth B TripAdvisor review

When I think of the Maldives, the overwater villas at Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort perfectly match my vision of this paradise. We stayed at another resort prior to Mercure. Both resorts took care of us like VIPs and made sure we were taken care of every step of the way, from the airport drop-off, check-in, lounge escort, security escort, and pickup at the other end... they were with us every step of the way except for the actual airplane ride. The check-in area at Mercure is not air-conditioned and this would have been a nice addition. The staff did however provide cold towels and drinks. I felt as if the check-in process was a bit cumbersome. Their rep (I don't recall her name but her spoken English was difficult to understand) was trying to explain how to use their app. I would have preferred to just get the keys to the my room and perhaps after I settled in, a phone call to my room to explain how to use the app and find out about events. Our room was a bit small and there wasn't a lot of room for our luggage but the view... OMG. We were in room 516 on the sunset side, very close to the house reef. My husband, who loves to snorkel, appreciated that the reef was so close and that the 'good stuff' was only a short swim away. The bathroom was beautiful and I loved the outdoor shower just outside of the bathroom. Of course the best part about our villa was the outdoor pool. It was great to jump in and cool off when it got really hot. Areas for improvement: My husband felt as if the air-conditioning did not get very cold. We had to call about this when we arrived. The resort sent someone from engineering to fix the issue but it didn't really improve it. A few days into our stay, I noticed that the air conditioning leaked into the closet below where my luggage was stored. A lot of my clothes got wet. Again, engineering came out and I don't think the issue was really fixed as it continued to leak. This is an ongoing issue as I noticed rust on the hinges of the closet. The resort graciously laundered my wet clothes at no charge. Food. Options are limited. There are only two restaurants, and one (Vista, the Italian) requires a reservation. You eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Alita and it's always buffet style. We had one meal at Vista and while it was nice to be served (rather than dining buffet style), Vista's food was underwhelming. Alita's breakfast was decent. They had a variety of options from Maldivian staples, congee, fresh fruits, an omelette station, various yogurts, etc. You can also get snacks at the bar from 11am - 4pm. I did not get a chance to try that. Another night, we sprung for a private dinner on the beach. That was very well thought out and put together. The food portions were big and we couldn't finish everything on our plates. We also had a floating breakfast one day... that was a lot of fun! Other areas of improvement that can be made... the ladder that goes into the ocean is slippery. And the rope they wrapped around the handles and the top two steps is rough. I suggest using a ladder like the one that's in the pool, with the grips on the steps... and perhaps make the steps go all the way down into the ground (like the villa's pillars). Though the villas were separate, it did not offer privacy from the deck. I could see all my neighbors and they could see me. Perhaps redesigning the privacy barriers so no one can see anyone without having to lean over the deck or swim in the ocean and look in. My husband and I opted for a snorkeling adventure and it was great! They took us near the next island over and we saw just about everything: sharks, stingrays, manta rays, turtles. We also enjoyed a quick jet ski session one afternoon. I liked that we could borrow snorkeling gear and keep it in our room during the duration of our stay. The staff overall were friendly. Special shout out to Made who we saw every day at Alita. Our 6 night stay didn't seem long enough and we hope to return one day!

Thank you for sharing your thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beauty of our overwater villas, the snorkeling adventure, and the personalized service from our team, especially Made. Your feedback on areas of improvement, such as the check-in process, air conditioning, privacy of the deck, and dining options, is highly appreciated, and we’ll work on enhancing these aspects. We’re glad the private dinner, floating breakfast, and other experiences helped make your stay memorable. We hope to welcome you back for another wonderful visit soon. Warm regards, Stefania Banfi Resort Manager

The place was amazing. We were lucky the weather held out even though the weather predicted storms. The staff were so polite, nothing was an issue. The food buffet had plenty to choose from and we would say we did not have a bad dinner whether it was Brekky lunch or dinner. The all-inclusive deal is worth it.

Thank you for your kind words! We’re glad the weather worked in your favor and that you enjoyed the variety in our buffet. It’s great to hear the all-inclusive deal added to your experience. We look forward to welcoming you back again. Warm regards, Stefania Banfi Resort Manager

Everything was excellent, the dinner buffet was very good, the dessert station should have some sugar free alternatives.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the dinner buffet. We appreciate your suggestion regarding sugar-free dessert options and will share it with our culinary team for consideration. Warm regards, Stefania Banfi Resort Manager
