Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort

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

Great property at great location The coral reef is amazing, I was snorkeling every day and never get bored The Italian restaurant was great, the staff and chef were amazing The pool restaurant was Ok, I think that have room for improvement. The breakfast there was amazing, I really enjoy starting the day All the staff make a great effort to make sure everyone enjoys their time I would definitely recommend it

The water villa was amazing, the staff were friendly and helpful and we had a fantastic vacation

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.

The best hotel I have ever visit, the beach was so clean and nice, rooms great ether water villa or beach villa, love the swimming pool In my room was huge, main swimming pool was really big, food was so delicious, staff was helpful and wonderful, manger was so kind and visiting us every single day to make sure we are happy, sunset bar the beauty of the resort, spa was so relaxing and price of treatment was so cheap compared with other resorts, therapist Naomi was the best to make me relax and ready to sleep, the family villa was big enough for more than 10 persons with big huge swimming pool, diving center was amazing we went to see turtles and we so sharks and dolphins, the privacy was 100%, beds so comfortable, shampoo smalls so nice, pool bar was really nice to see the sunset although the sunset water villa, they are the best resort ever, if you didn’t visit yet you have to.

Obwohl das Resort neben dem Flughafen ist, stört dieser absolut nicht! Wunderschön gepflegtes Resort, Restaurants sind super, Auswahl und abwechslungsreich. Personal sehr bemüht und hilfsbereit. Gehen auf Wünsche ein z.b. Geburtstagskuchen :-) Die Wasservilla ist spitze, das Außenriff jedoch weit entfernt zum schnorcheln. Sandboden ist aber auch angenehm. Empfehlung ist Wasser Villa mit Pool, um auch Abends im Wasser die Sterne zu genießen.

This place was wonderful. We booked a sunset-facing overwater villa with a private pool and it was a dream. The water outside the room is waist deep which is great, and you can jump between swimming in the Indian Ocean and the private pool with just a few steps. There's a second outdoor shower that connects the deck and the indoor bathroom, which is great to rinse off before entering the villa, which is pretty easy to get a bit messy otherwise with wet feet. The staff was all very kind and helpful, easy to talk to. The food is great assuming you like the day's theme. They switch it up with a different theme each night so if you're not a fan of the theme, it may not be to your liking—but you can order a la carte from either restaurant if that's the case. The hotel is a 1-2 minute gold cart ride from the airport and they take care of all the details—they even check you into your flight and drop your baggage off so you can enjoy more time at the resort—you get taken over just before your flight when it's time to board. Would 100% stay again!! A quintessential Maldives stay.
