Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort 4 stars

The resort is fantastic, plenty of activities, including sunset, fishing, JetSki, paddleboard, kayak, massages, snorkeling. The staff went above and beyond the bar. Staff was quick to make your favorite cocktail Deleep who is in charge of the grounds crew took us on the tour of the chefs garden very interesting, as well as a coconut climbing demonstration along with some of his call leagues highly recommend. Stephen, the dive shop, gave us an excellent scuba diving lesson, and was very patient as we learned to scuba dive, a life-changing experience we would recommend this resort without reservation and would be pleased to come back at a future date

A1 all the way around. From the reception at Velana right through to getting to our over water Villa all was very easy and exceptional. The staff and service was amazing. The food was the kicker for us as we love well spiced and tasty food and we were not disappointed.

My girlfriends and I went for a 10 day/9 night stay at the all-inclusive adult-only Mercure Maldives Kooddoo. We've been back home now and still can't stop talking about our trip (we reminisce at least once a day). It was exactly what we all needed! First off, the resort has just the right amount of privacy and allows you to enjoy the accommodations without feeling crowded at all. We partook in sunrise and sunset yoga with Bijay and tried our hands at coconut tree climbing. When we weren't at the gym, on excursions, dining or exploring, we were in our bungalow pool, especially enjoying all the sunsets. Housekeeping was wonderful and Chathura made sure we were always fully stocked with snacks. Secondly, all of our water sports were great experiences with the helpful staff. Vishal and crew took us to a beautiful sandbar followed by snorkeling. He made sure a few of our friends were comfortable in the water and with their snorkeling equipment. The dolphin cruise with Isshar and his crew did not disappoint. He was also extremely patient with my friend during her wakeboarding lesson and jet skiing time. We highly recommend jet skiing in the morning for more chances to see the dolphins. Also, getting out on the kayaks and paddle boards were perfect for the afternoon high tides. After all the active sports, it was wonderful to wind down with the spa services. I have gotten various massages in different places and can say that I got two of the best massages in my life at this resort. One was a hot stone massage with Darma and one was a tranquil massage with Tini. My only regret was not booking sooner and booking more. Dining at the Mercure was an experience in itself. Breakfast and lunch were always full of tasty options and the specially themed dinner cuisine nights kept the menu varied. There were fresh and hot stations (delicious breakfast eggs by Yambar!), nicely plated sides and beautifully presented desserts. Ujiwal and April saw to any of our kitchen needs. Once seated, the accommodating Alita staff like Kanchan, Layaal, Ali #1, Hasan and Ali #2 kept us hydrated with coconut cold brews, lattes and other beverages. Also, options at the pool bar were convenient when we were lounging in the infinity pool. Ukti and Pradeep did great jobs of keeping us quickly refreshed during our visits to the bar. In addition to the buffet style restaurant, we enjoyed dining at the Italian restaurant and trying their different pastas. The panna cotta and tiramisu kept us coming back each night. The Vista restaurant highlights a phenomenal sunset view and super friendly staff. Jo Ann always took fine care of us as well as Nihad and Smith with Kunal mixing up his drinks. The reception staff was helpful during check-in, and check-out as well as during our stay. They are expert buggy drivers and make sure all our questions are answered. Thank you Karouna, Ella, Kylie, Injun, Yasser and Shafin! In summary, we got exceptional rest and relaxation at the Mercure Maldives Kooddoo. All of our needs and wants were attended to during our stay. The staff was always attentive and hospitable. You can tell that they are close with one another and in turn makes you feel like you are part of the Mercure family.
