Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort

the location is stunning! Whatever villa you choose you'll always have a great view of the ocean! We were lucky to stay in 518, water pool villa and it was perfect! You have your little slice of paradise if you fancy some great snorkeling (right on top of the reef) and some private time. Otherwise the big main pool, just outside the main restaurant is incredible too and you can walk to the beach and jump into the ocean directly from there! The two restaurants offer a big variety of food, catering for every need! The restaurant team is so welcoming and kind. Madvi chats with everyone with her big smile, Poppy makes the best coffees, the whole team is attentive and present without forcing interactions! My wife unfortunately was not feeling great for the last two days and they were really kind, genuine and caring! 10/10! If you fancy a relaxing afternoon I can't recommend to try the Spa enough! Both Ida and Rena looked after us so well and their massages are a perfect mix of relaxation and rejuvenation! The diving center has many options for scuba diving, snorkeling and some excursions! We loved the sunset cruise, we were able to take amazing pictures and saw the dolphins too! Skip the local island tour, Marty, our guide was very informative but there is really not much to see. Also, make it clear with the reception, which discounts you can get and what is included in the offers as it was very vague and we discovered it only when we settled the bill. Overall great time!

So the absolute deciding factor for me to pick this resort over all the others in the Maldives is the Tempurpedic beds listed on here, they do not have Tempurpedic beds. My wife and I have found the back pain caused by a cheap mattress can ruin a vacation. This resort has one restaurant for breakfast, lunch, dinner and all inclusive only covers the buffets and a second restaurant that requires reservation for dinner where most of the menu is included, so the "all inclusive" is really more of a partially inclusive. The first night we ordered room service, 30 hrs of travel will really take it out of you, the guy that dropped us at our room with our bags said the food would be covered with the all inclusive, but when they brought the food it came with a bill for $180. The manager was very understanding and bent over backwards to make things right for us with each complaint, she seemed to be the only that really knew what she was talking about or even really cared. one of our biggest complaints was nothing was spelled out as to what "all inclusive" included. the manager credit those room service charges and told us to go sign up for the sunset cruise tour, it sounded like it was included the way she said it... it was a good tour, then we got back and they handed us a $250 bill. The property and rooms were beautiful and peaceful but the lack of communication was stressful and if you dont eat the buffet its $30 for a burger. ultimatly I wish I would have chosen a different resort.

The staff is so welcoming and accommodating, making sure that you’re having a comfortable and enjoyable time. The island itself is so gorgeous I could lounge around all day looking around! I will definitely be going back

My husband and I stayed at Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort for 8 nights in February to celebrate our honeymoon. We had a lovely time! We enjoyed the Alita restaurant's buffet every day (we tried Vista for one lunch and it was good, just didn't go back at all). We had a romantic dinner on the beach which was incredible. We did the dolphin excursion (totally worth it, saw a ton of dolphins), fishing excursion (I'm glad we used a voucher for this instead of paying as it was a little disappointing using hand reels out in front of the resort), snorkeling every day from our villa, and massages as the spa. A magical experience truly.

Overall the resort is ideal if you are looking for quiet time with your loved one. We enjoyed our stay at this property. There are not alot of choices when it comes to restaurants.

Great stafff

Paradise

Wow! This resort was absolutely amazing! It was our first time in the Maldives and this place did not disappoint. We snorkeled, hung out by the pool, scuba dive (no prior experience), jet ski, and had professional pictures! There is so much to do you can do a different thing everyday. Staff were great and kind and so helpful. We were especially surprised when we not only had help when we arrived to the airport but when we left as well. They were extremely accommodating and made our stay amazing. Gracia was our dive instructor and she was great and knowledgeable! She made diving a great and easy experience. We had massages on our last day and it was so relaxing and a great way to end our trip. Overall it was an amazing experience and we will be back!

Magnifique séjour, tout est parfait, le lieu, l’accueil, le personnel, les chambres, les restaurants, le bar, les activités, un tout inclus haut de gamme, on aimerai que ça se passe toujours comme ça ! Exceptionnel !!!

L un des mes meilleurs voyages si ce n est le meilleur !! Exceptionnel !! Tout est parfait

Wir sind als Pärchen angereist und sind insgesamt super zufrieden mit unserem Urlaub! 🌞 Zuerst möchten wir das wirklich zuvorkommende und freundliche Personal des Hotels loben. Besonders die Mitarbeiter hinter der Bar (die wirklich gute Cocktails machen, kein Fusel) das Personal im Service, im Spa und im Dive Center. Jeder hat einen super Job gemacht und ich könnte die ganzen Namen gar nicht aufzählen - großes Dankeschön aber an Joana (Vista) und Kasun. Die Anreise war lang, aber es lohnt sich. Als wir in Male angekommen sind, durften wir in einer Lounge mit Frühstücksbuffet und Dusche warten - wir wurden immer von einem Mitarbeiter begleitet. Vor Ort im Hotel wurden wir sehr freundlich empfangen und konnten auch direkt in unsere Zimmer einchecken. Wir waren zuerst in einer Strandvilla und hatten einen super schönen Zugang zum klasse Strand, alles war sehr sauber und schön eingerichtet. Die letzten zwei Nächte haben wir in einer Wasservilla verbracht und fanden den Zugang zum Wasser perfekt. Das Schnorcheln am Hausriff hier ist hervorragend, man sieht einfach super viele Fische, Delfine, Haie Schildkröten und wenn man Glück hat auch Rochen. im Dive Center konnten wir uns problemlos ein Kajak oder ein Standup mieten, alles inklusive. Auch die Schnorchel Ausrüstung haben wir kostenlos bekommen. Das Essen hat uns gut gefallen und war frisch, könnte allerdings auf Dauer abwechslungsreicher sein (die Speisen sind oft recht ähnlich). Wir würden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen!!!

Beautiful property and overall the staff were so amazing. The food was amazing and the view, beach and pool are perfect. The over water bungalows are definitely very special. We had a really bad experience at check in when we were told we had to have booked the domestic flights through the hotel and I had booked through the airline, I didn’t think this was clear from the outline in Expedia but it also shouldn’t have mattered, the check in manager Hoodhi was so rude and patronising so it wasn’t a great start. The other thing was we were travelling for our honeymoon and it was delayed due to having cancer after our wedding and they were not going to offer the honeymoon benefits (because the wedding was 10 months ago instead of 6) which are just bubbles and some decorations so I don’t see why they wouldn’t. Seemed pretty mean. But Alisha and gadeer at the restaurant were amazing and Ella at reception was lovely and sorted it out for us.

Wir haben uns für unsere Flitterwochen für Mercure entschieden und damit alles richtig gemacht. Das Resort ist groß und sauber, das Servicepersonal sehr sehr freundlich, das vielfältige Essen sehr lecker und die Tagesaktivitäten bieten spannende Abwechslung für jeden. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und würden es mit gutem Gewissen weiterempfehlen.

新婚旅行で行きましたが、とてもいい思い出になりました:)

We had a nice vacation at the resort. The water is amazing. Something I will remember forever. Within the lagoon, there were lots of corals and fish and we saw sharks, turtles, stingrays and an eel! We went on the dolphin cruise, the sandbank adventure and the snorkeling tour and we had our first scuba diving experience. They were so exciting but the staff kept us very safe. Every experience was absolutely breathtaking. We also had a couple fitness classes with the lovely instructor and a spa day which was nice. The food was ok at the buffet. It’s a bit of hit or miss. The food at the Vista was lovely. I had a couple of meals there. The staff were all nice and helpful. It was the most luxurious and fun vacation I have ever had.

O Lugar do início ao fim, passando pelos mínimos detalhes, é simplesmente incrível. Um dos pontos especiais foi o atendimento sempre simpático e incansável em todas as demandas. Comidas e bebidas ótimas, com muita variedade, além do restaurante Vista com comidas deliciosas. Indicaria o hotel de olhos fechados para qualquer pessoa!

Tutto assolutamente perfetto!! Personale eccezionale ❤️

Infelizmente nao ficamos no hotel. Fizeram um upgrade para o Pullman Maldives All-Inclusive Resort e estamos sendo bem tratados.
