Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort 4 stars

It’s been magical, 1 month has passed and I still can’t get back to reality. My mind keeps wondering back to the little island (7 nights still too short). It’s not crowded and you recognised the faces after awhile. Smile and hellos were not limited from the staff but also the holidaymakers (adults only). We exchanged info on wat we saw in the in-house reefs (foc snorkelling gears from water sport centre). And those amazing marines are simply breathtaking (dolphins swimming past our villa, hawksbill turtle; blacktips (we have 11 swimming with us in one moment); nurse shark; moray; lobster; porcupine fish etc). We have a few days of rain but the recovery in the villa (mini fridge & snacks top up every day) and the meals/ drinks (all inclusive) make up for it. Email correspondence on transfer and domestic flight (luggage weight limits) were stated clearly and we were received by the staff in the international airport and house in the lounge before boarding the domestic flight. Throughout we experienced the seamless arrangements and there’s just nothing that worries or concerns us. We dived at shark point with Steve and he spotted the bull and leopard sharks. Thank you again to all the staff (even the non frontline service staff stop their work and offer to take photo for us). Hiaz I want to go back.

We had the best time at Mercure Maldives, the over the water bungalow was beautiful, clean and modern. The bar, pool and restaurants were conveniently located. The staff was so friendly and helpful and the food was great. So much variety! This is one of the best vacations we’ve had!

My wife and I spent a wonderful week over our anniversary at this resort. It's everything we could have hoped for. Maldives has always been one of those "bucket list" destinations where we've dreamed of visiting. Do it. It was incredible. Amazing views, comfortable accommodations, welcoming staff, spa, excursions, and delicious food await. So glad we decided to go. Tomorrow is not promised. If you've ever wanted to see Maldives, don't hesitate. I highly recommend this resort.

I have read of people’s experiences temporarily visiting the afterlife, or ‘heaven’, wherever your belief system lies. They tell of this common overwhelming feeling of being cared for, of being loved. Made feel that nothing else is important. If these experiences are anywhere true, then my wife and I visited heaven. From the minute we stepped off the plane and transported the short journey to the resort (5mins) we were made feel so welcome, as if all members of staff have a gift of emanating care. So my first and most important plus was the staff. They couldn’t do enough for you, always with a smile. Remembering your room number is a small thing I know, but very nice. The beach villa we had booked was perfect, a short step or two to the clear warm waters of the Indian Ocean, an outside bath/shower area allowed you to wash in nature, the king size bed that was difficult to get out of in the morning due to its excess comfort, the constantly stocked minibar, the wonderfully essential air conditioning. Took our breath away.. Food was wonderful. A buffet restaurant which served consistently great food from a wide selection of cuisines, a different theme every night for dinner. An Italian restaurant with a view out to sea. Finally snacks at the bar area meant you were never far away from food. The bar staff were wonderful. Serving up whatever cocktail you wished, again taking time to chat when they could. This was our first trip to the Maldives, and during our stay we experienced lots of firsts. First time snorkelling with an abundance of tropical fish. First time being in the presence of a shoal of dolphins, first time jet skiing, first time I swam with my head above water….. our first long haul flight. We also made some new friends from other parts of the world and had a more than enjoyable time ‘socialising’ with them. (Loads of free cocktails helped!!) So, with all that in mind, we would like to thank everyone at the resort for making our stay the most wonderful holiday we have ever experienced and look forward to seeing you all next year. Love, john and june.

We stayed at the Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort June 18th through 25th celebrated our 10 years wedding anniversary and my husband belated birthday. It was our very first time in the Maldives. We love the resort and snorkeled every day. We did the dolphin cruise, and it was fun! We also did the couples massage at the spa, it was really relaxing and wonderful! We booked the overwater sunset bungalow with a pool. We stayed in bungalow 508. The view was breathtaking! The staff was friendly, helpful, and welcoming! The food was delicious! The resort is beautiful and clean! Our favorite was the seafood night, all you can eat lobsters. We love the Italian restaurant too! It was such an amazing experience! We still talked about it today. We love everything about the resort and Maldives, so we highly recommend it to our friends and family! ❤️
