My Memorable Stay at Grand Park Kodhipparu, Maldives 🌊✨
I recently had the pleasure of visiting the breathtaking Maldives and staying at the beautiful Grand Park Kodhipparu resort. Here's a quick recap of my experience:
Day 1: Arrival & Check-In
The check-in process was seamless and stress-free, as we were escorted directly to our Ocean Villa upon arrival. This was a welcome touch after a long flight! The villa was pristine, with stunning views of the turquoise ocean. A unique feature was the transparent glass floor in the room, allowing us to spot vibrant blue fish swimming below at night—a magical experience. Snorkeling right off the villa was a highlight, with coral reefs and a variety of marine life to explore. Bonus: complimentary snorkeling gear provided by the resort!
Day 2: Relaxation & Fun
We spent the day enjoying the infinity pool, snorkeling, and the kids' club. The pool's view was mesmerizing, and the little ones loved the activities at the club.
Day 3: Dolphin Adventure
In the morning, we embarked on the "Lucky Dolphin" excursion, but luck wasn’t on our side as we didn’t spot any dolphins. At $315 for 2 adults and 1 child, the price felt steep.
Highlights of the Resort
Convenient Location: Only a 20-minute speedboat ride from the airport, with transfers aligned to our arrival and departure times.
Delicious Breakfast: A wide variety of options, including fresh passion fruit and orange juices.
Private Transfer: We had the entire speedboat to ourselves when leaving for the airport—a luxurious end to our stay.
A Few Downsides
Expensive Excursions: Prices for activities like the dolphin trip were higher compared to other resorts I’ve visited.
Limited Activities: Being on a small island, the resort might feel repetitive if you stay more than 2 days.
Overall, Grand Park Kodhipparu is perfect for a short, relaxing getaway with incredible views and excellent service! Would definitely recommend for couples and families seeking a serene retreat. 🏝️
