Opportunities for improvement:
Rooms
1. consider using small bottles of water that can fit into the bar fridge. Cold water after a hot day is a game changer!
Melange
1. Surf and turf: the big prawns and lobster meat were frozen and were not really attractive. After grilling, the meat turned out to be partially soggy, which is a turn off.
2. Suggestion: for the grill, cook to order instead of preparing the food and leaving it under a heater lamp. I.e. lamb cutlets, pork chops, grilled sea bass etc. Freshly grilled food taste better and maintains the high quality. Grilled food left under a heater lamp becomes either soggy or too tough.
3. Same suggestion for breakfast waffles: make to order rather than leave it on the plates ready to go.
Examples of great service:
1. Mariana helped prepare a ice bucket of champagne for us even though the honeymoon comment was not originally registered by trip.com and pullman. She was very helpful and remembers what clients say. Top marks and greatly appreciated!
2. All buggy drivers greet upon pick up and some even went out of their way to reverse so we can video manta rays in shallow waters off our villa. Truly deserving of the great service tag!
3. All waiters serving at all restaurants always asks whether we want water to start off. It feels like an SOP but we love it! Consistent and service with a smile!
Was truly a great experience and would love to come back again!

Replenish your honeymoon with your wife and enjoy the resort at a glance. The environment is so good that you can jump out into the Indian Ocean to go swimming and snorkeling every day. The sea is full of colorful tropical fish, sharks, devil fish, sea urchins and sea cucumbers. The service was very great, and there were kind smiles everywhere, especially the Siranthe of the pool bar, which gave me a very deep impression. I can understand what a super service is from the time I haven't started. We stayed on the 3rd, but arrived in Male on the 2nd night. The resort had communicated with my hotel in Male in advance. The next day I should go back to the airport to take the inland plane. set. E-mail English communication before departure is also afraid of any problems in the middle of the mistakes, but in the end I found that my fears are superfluous, really do not have to worry about anything. The only downside is that there are too few restaurants and food choices in the resort. The buffet for dinner is really good. If you want to go, you really need to bring more snacks and some instant noodles.

I honestly don’t know where to begin….. The experience was perfect from start to finish. The resort was beautiful, the food amazing, and the staff were the nicest people. Special mentions must go to Hafiz in the Dining Room and his amazing team, all of whom were wonderfully attentive but Junard, Sajith, the beautiful Micah and Nafu and the lovely Rayaan were the ones we came into contact with most, but all the staff were fantastic, from the maintenance staff, to housekeeping to the restaurants, everybody always had a smile and a kind word, and the biggest shout out to the Chefs. Also a special mentions to Naresh who left our villa absolutely spotless and always went above and beyond. The resort itself was stunning, I cannot fault a thing and would absolutely love to return. Both islands restaurants were also excellent. The only thing that I could say in the negative is that the flight transfers from Male to Kooddoo don’t always tie in with the arrival of an international flight but that isn’t down to the resort but the airline, and you are made comfortable in the lounge by resort staff with a meal and drink, looked after literally from arriving in Male. I feel fortunate to have been able to spend time at The Residence and will remember this holiday forever. Thank you to you all.
We stayed here for our honeymoon in Jan 2025. The staff are amazing - always smiling, always very friendly and helpful. The room (water bungalow with pool) was incredible. The housekeeping staff including Francis were excellent. The food in the dining room was great and the staff there - Ishan, Shani, Nahil, Hazrat, Suhana were all lovely. I had a massage in the spa with Sanjay who was amazing. The snorkelling along the reef is absolutely beautiful and we had free use of snorkels, fins and life jackets. Fawaaz who met us in Male was excellent and very helpful. There was free paddle boarding or kayaking during a set time each day. We also had the option of lots of paid activities. There was a free gym. We did sunrise yoga everyday which was free and we really enjoyed. The downside: We had a disaster getting there which isn't the Residence's fault - but we had a big delay at Male airport, then a lovely staff member from t he Residence (Fawaaz) helped us and met us there - he brought us for a free lunch. Then the domestic flight to the island was delayed an hour, it then made a stop off on another island. So in total from leaving our room in Sri Lanka to arriving in our room in the Residence it took 12 hours. The meat at times wasn't amazing - you could tell it wasn't fresh - but I understand that it has to get imported to the island so it's not fresh that day. We weren't aware of all the restaurants and things on offer on the island - we felt that the lobby or information back we were given at check in could have been clearer and a little more thorough. Also when we arrived we were told most of the restaurants were booked up for our stay - but no-one had contacted us before our trip to say we should pre book which was frustrating. Overall it was an excellent stay and we would highly recommend it.
