AndrewB228 TripAdvisor review

Fantastic holiday. Overwater bungalow better than the pictures, food was way beyond expectation, Staff so helpful and friendly House reef was better than most places in the world we go scuba diving - saw sharks, rays, turtles, thousands of fish, even a Napolean fish all while snorkeling the reef going in from the bungalows. Paddleboarding at 9am the water is so clear it was as good as the scuba diving to see everything along the reef. Lots of fresh food on the buffet, lots for all tastes to like with the perfect amount of variety. Italian restaurant has an amazing Tenderloin and the carbonara pasta is wonderful. Do not worry it's next to the airport. Three flights a day come in so no real noise and they take you from airplane to your bungalow in a golf cart in a five mins drive... way better than taking a long boat ride to other islands. A few tips 1) Snorkeling- go first thing in the morning between 9-10 am that is when the water is the clearest with 30ft clarity over the reef, in the bright afternoon sun it's only 10ft and you lose all the colors. Also walk to the far left bungalows and descend the ladder as that puts you right near the best part of the reef, otherwise too much swimming in and out. Then snorkel the reef line into the midpoint and return or swim to you own bungalow to get out. 2) Scuba diving - make sure to do the house reef and Shark point as the dive staff say they are the best dives and we agree. All the high end liveaboard scuba boats came to do these same 2 dives as highlights of their week. Note if you have not dove in 3 months they will make you do the refresher for $105 USd with a dive on the house reef as part of it so no big deal. We are AOW divers with +150 dives and they still made us do it. We also had to buy Maldives scuba insurance. 3) Bungalows - the air was really really hot with 43c we were so glad we had a sunrise bungalow facing the beach so we're could sit out in the afternoon, the ocean facing sunset bungalow people got cooked all afternoon with no real shade given the angle of the sun negating the umbrellas effectiveness. 4) ScubaSpa - we spent 5 days here before getting on our liveaboard which picked us up next to the resort which was so efficient.

Dear AndrewB228, Thank you for taking the time to share such a glowing review of your recent stay at our resort. We are thrilled to hear that your holiday was nothing short of fantastic, and that so many aspects of your experience exceeded expectations. It’s particularly gratifying to learn that the beauty and comfort of our overwater bungalows surpassed what you had seen in pictures. Our aim is always to provide a setting that enhances the natural beauty of our surroundings, and it sounds like we succeeded. The culinary experience is a cornerstone of the stay at our resort, and your praise for the variety and quality of food at our buffet and the Italian restaurant is much appreciated. We’re delighted that the tenderloin and Carbonara pasta were highlights of your dining experience. Our team takes great pride in their work, and knowing they made you feel so welcomed and supported throughout your stay is truly heartwarming. We will ensure your kind words are passed along to everyone. The house reef is one of our most treasured natural assets, and we're so glad you had the opportunity to explore its beauty up close, encountering an incredible array of marine life. Your tips for future guests on snorkeling and scuba diving are invaluable and greatly appreciated, offering insightful advice that will undoubtedly enhance their experiences. We understand the concerns some might have about the proximity to the airport, and we're pleased to hear that this aspect did not detract from your enjoyment. Indeed, the convenience of a short transfer is something many of our guests appreciate, as you’ve kindly highlighted. Your additional tips regarding the best times for snorkeling, diving suggestions, bungalow preferences based on sun exposure, and the seamless transition to a liveaboard experience are thoughtful and will surely assist others in making the most of their stay. We’re honored to have been part of your journey and to have provided a backdrop for such a memorable holiday. Should your travels bring you back to the Maldives, we hope to welcome you again for another spectacular stay. Warmest regards, Mercure Maldives Management Team

After two weeks at the Mercure Kooddoo Maldives, it's time to write a review of this resort. First of all, it should be pointed out that this was not the hotel initially planned for this second trip to the Maldives. For various reasons, the hotel we had initially chosen was no longer available. So rather than wait for a new offer from the travel agent, we preferred to make a new choice. We chose the Mercure Kooddoo Maldives after consulting various reviews on TripAdvisor. I can now confirm that what I had read on the Internet was actually the case. When we arrived at Kooddoo, the welcome at the airport from the hotel reception team was warm and very well organized. By the time we had completed the check-in formalities, we were already being taken to our villa on stilts. It corresponded perfectly to what had been described by the travel agency. By the time we had settled in, we had discovered the varied program of activities on offer at the hotel. We didn't think it would be possible to do so many activities on site. The most important point to mention, which confirms what I had read before deciding to choose this hotel, is the attention and kindness of all the staff on site, who work constantly to ensure that we have an unforgettable stay. Thank you to Ingyin and the reception team for welcoming us and helping us with all the little formalities. Thanks also to all the team at the Alita and Vista restaurants (Alisha, Joan, Rajesh, Desta, Smith, Yaman, Aleena, Avisekh, Shifa, Dharmika, Vjjwal and all the chefs Amsit, Handoko, Wipula, Nakala, Sugath and Ghahujay) for the great meals, the discovery of regional culinary specialties and the cooking classes. Thanks also to Kasun, Kamal, Pubudu and Yukthi (Kunal) who work in the bar to treat us to their various cocktails. Thank you to Bawantha who cleaned our Over Water Villa with great attention to detail, which was really appreciated. I'd also like to thank Dr. Daniel for the care he gave me when my ear was inflamed, and for all the laughs, which undoubtedly acted as a catalyst for the treatment 😉 And finally, a big thank you to the team at the sports center: - Shaffan and Shahid who guided us on the jet ski trips where we met dozens of dolphins and took some fantastic pictures. - Grazia and Agus for allowing us to dive again after a 30-year break. A little information for those who will be reading this review: diving is like cycling, you never forget it 😉 So we're going to enjoy this third and final week in this magical place and hope, why not, to be able to return one day. PS: my apologies if I have forgotten to mention someone or if a name has been misspelt. Yours sincerely Claude & Laurent Dreyfuss
