Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort

Very good experience and all staff are friendly and helpful. Awesome experience.

Good places I love it

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.

This place is everything you expect the Maldives to be - overwater villas, turquoise water, white sand and great snorkelling. We travelled with a Luxury Escapes package that included flights from Male and all inclusive meals & drinks. It was well worth the inclusions and we'd recommend the full board option (although our wastelines do not! ). The staff were amazing - Kumar and Made were especially friendly and always remembered our names. There was a different food theme every night so it was always varied and the food was always fresh and tasty. We enjoyed the overwater villa but the beach villas looked just as nice. Access from the overwater villa to the water was via a ladder that could get quite slippery so just be aware of that. Also, the airport closed just after we landed, so the return journey to Male was much much longer than anticipated, which was a bit disappointing but not the resort's fault. Definitely recommend the resort.

We visited in August 2023. The flight over was fairly straightforward. Our first impression of the resort was that it was better than the photos we had seen and the colour of the water was impressive. From the very start all the staff were very helpful and pleasant. We were taken to our room on a golf buggy. We had chosen a villa with a pool and we were not disappointed. It was stunning, so close to the water and with the glass floor you could see the fish swimming underneath. There was plenty bottles of beers, wine and spirits included along with snacks which were replenished daily and you could chose what you wanted. The restaurants on site were all good and the food was second to none. There were different dishes put out every day that we stayed and a great selection. There are tennis courts, canoes and other various sports, leisure activities you can participate in if you want. We went on the dolphin excursion and were not disappointed, there were loads that swam close to the boat. We also went fishing and always felt safe on the boat with the crew. A few of us even caught some fish and of you wanted they could be taken back and cooked by the chef. Overall the resort was fantastic and I would definitely recommend and would stay there again.
