Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort recensioner

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

Good places I love it

깨끗하고 편안한 숙박과 다른 몰디브 리조트에서 잘 볼 수없는 에어컨이 있는 시원한 식당이 좋았습니다. 개미와 모기가 좀 있었지만 자연을 생각하면 별로 불만거리는 못되겠지요. 머큐어는 놀라운 수중 환경을 경험할 수 있는데 비치빌라 이용객들을 위해 리프 가까이 안전하게 들어갈 수 있는 계단이 있었으면 좋겠어요. 지금 있는 사다리 형식은 많이 위험해 보입니다.

還可以滿意

We had an absolutely wonderful time. The snorkelling was fantastic, I'd absolutely recommend the sunset cruise and the private photoshoot was well worth it! We have have some lovely memories and photos too. The catering was very good, and there were always options available. My wife has allergies to Fish and Dairy but this wasn't a problem (even on fish night). There were always great alternatives. All of the staff were extremely helpful, they all went above and beyond to make sure that everything was taken care of. Made one of the staff members was particularly attentive she was always there with a lovely smile to greet us. When the pastry chef learned of my wife's dairy intolerance he went into the kitchen and specially prepared a dairy free version of one of the deserts. This was completely unprompted and we were taken back with his kindness. I really enjoyed spending my 40th birthday here and I'm sure I'd like to return soon. The customer experience manager was very helpful and nothing was too much. My goodness I haven't even started to talk about the scenery yet, well you can check out the photos yourself. It was stunning! I would also like to add that I needed to see the private onsite doctor, I was expecting to have to pay through the nose however I was pleasantly surprised.

It's not often that a dream holiday is everything you dream of. Maldives has been on the bucket list for many years and we chose Kooddoo because of great reviews and an excellent Luxury Escapes offer. The resort itself is beautiful, only about 6 years old and still pristine. Staff were friendly, attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Our package included all meals and premium drinks and we enjoyed the variety in the meals .. and cocktails! They also have snorkelling gear, SUP boards and a kayak that are free for guests. We loved the snorkelling particularly. Just 20 metres from the jetty there is a fantastic coral reef with a colourful array of fish. Even walking from our over-water villa, we saw shoals of fish, some reef sharks and rays. One evening we went on sunset fishing - included in our package - great fun and something different. We loved being on the water though some guests said they preferred the beach. The beach looks like something out of a movie set - white sand, palm trees, aqua water. Honestly, everything picture-postcard. Bear in mind that the flight back to Male means that your day is shortened as Male Airport requires you to arrive three hours before your connection. As we had arrived a day late due volcanic activity in Indonesia, we were disappointed to not have a full day left. In the end we went to reception where staff were extremely understanding and moved us to a later flight. (We just had to sign a disclaimer) Weather was lovely - hot and clear most days, with only one morning of rain. That morning did make us glad we had paid the extra and not gone low season. Being there during rainy, windy weather would be a total waste. Our only complaint - not long enough!

OMG where do I start, as soon as I was greeted on arrival, I felt this weight lift off of my shoulders and sudden calmness after a very long trip. This was so worth it and then some and then some more. After a 2 min (if that) golf buggy ride from Kooddoo airport to reception, was greeted with a lot of smiles and a very refreshing drink. Check in was completed with ease and was then back in the golf buggy chauffeured direct to my over water villa where I completely went WOW and forgot the lady was still standing at my door with my bag whilst in awe of the villa and the view. The staff must enjoy seeing and hearing all the expressions on arrival. Once settled in and of course having a refreshing beverage from the mini bar whilst sitting on my balcony taking in the view, I said to myself this is not a dream it is real. I paid for the all-inclusive package which covered all your food, the majority of your alcoholic drinks, all your non-alcoholic drinks (certain high class alcohol drinks you still need to pay for but due to the variety supplied this was not needed). The variety of food supplied was amazing and catered for all different requirements. At the Alita restaurant it was self-service but you could also have certain items cooked to order (there were plenty of staff there to ensure you had drinks brought to your table). I went to the Vista restaurant once during my 8 night stay which was a la carte but for myself I was more than happy to keep going to the Alita. Either way the food was amazing and all the staff were so accommodating and friendly and happy. There were plenty of activities available for those who are inclined (snorkeling, fishing, jet skiing, diving, yoga, dolphin cruise, sandbar snorkeling trip, the list goes on) but my main aim was to switch off from the world (apart from sending photos to all my jealous friends back home) and relax, eat and drink mainly by the pool with great service from all the pool bar staff. After the first day all the staff had figured out what I was there for and I felt treated like a king for the whole stay. Look I could go on and on, my main point I want to get across is that the staff make you feel at ease (special mention to Kasun and the rest of the bar staff, my apologies for not remembering all of your names) and will always do their best to assist you the best they can, this includes all the reception, restaurant, cleaning, spa, diving centre staff even the engineering staff working on the boardwalk and maintenance around the grounds, being greeted with a hello and a smile does wonders. From my arrival to departure (departure with a tear in the eye) I give this resort 6 stars and I am seriously considering my return trip there already. Keep smiling and thank you so much for looking after me, cheers and beers mate.

We had the most wonderful experience. It's a place were dreams our made off. So pretty, and a place one dreams about when wanting to get away from the cold of Ireland. We had high expectations for the room and we weren't let down. Everything was perfect. Cleanliness, fluffy white towels and robes, the outdoor bath, the filtered water, the comfy bed, and oh my goodness, the view! Waking up to that view was breathtaking. You'd never get bored of it and it was so private. The 2 restaurants were sufficient for our stay & we never went hungry, even as 2 vegetarians. Sugath, the lovely chef, would even ask us what we would like, and one morning he made our favourite avocado on toast. What a treat. Our dinner meals too were always delicious and catered for our needs. We also enjoyed the company and laughter from Jo-Ann. She's very funny! We also enjoyed the craic from the boys at the bar/ restaurant. We had great chats. A big shout out to Ksenia, who was very sweet in sending me a lovely honey tea when I was feeling sick. It was so appreciated. Not forgetting Raushan too, who showed us around our over water villa when we first arrived and offered us a lift to the restaurant on occasion. He always has a big bright, happy smile on his face! I'm sure I have not mentioned all names of the staff we encountered, however they are all wonderful and work so hard. I must not forget the garden, were they grow some of their own produce. As someone who loves organic food, this was a big highlight, and it was fabulous to taste the delights in our meals! As you can tell we absolutely loved our time at the resort and hope to go back one day for a longer time. Just keep that wine on ice! Thank you very much everyone for a memorable stay.

Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort is a great place to relax and dive. Great bungalows and friendly, helpful staff. I especially enjoyed the diving. There are thousands and thousands of sharks behind the reef at a depth of 30 m. Delicious, varied food. Good music in the evenings. I can safely recommend this hotel, especially for honeymooners. Adults only.

This was our third time at Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort, and again our stay was perfect from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond, treating us like family and making us feel truly welcome. They didn’t just provide what was promised—they made everything effortless and added extra comfort along the way. A special thank you to Pubudu, Kamal, Pradeep, Made, Selva, Ibrahim and Raushan for their exceptional service. The resort itself is stunning, with excellent amenities that made our stay even more enjoyable. From the beautiful surroundings to the well-maintained facilities, everything exceeded our expectations. The food was absolutely delicious, with every meal being a highlight, and the drinks were just as impressive, offering refreshing flavours and expertly crafted cocktails. The massage at the spa was the best—pure relaxation at its finest. The house reef was truly exceptional, offering breathtaking marine life and an unforgettable snorkelling experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort to anyone looking for a flawless getaway.

From the time we booked our stay until we left the entire staff was absolutely amazing. They made sure that every detail of our stay was exactly what we wanted. We stayed in an over the water villa with a private pool and our villa Butler took care of our every need. The food was authentic each night, serving a different nationality and was absolutely perfection. Every staff member recognized us by name and made us feel very welcome. We utilized the restaurants on site, the dive shop, the excursions, the spa the on-site, photographer, and every person we encountered was professional and accommodating. There were plenty of activities to engage in and the marine life that we encountered was incredible. Every day we swam with colorful fish, stingrays, sharks, sea turtles, dolphins. From beginning to end it was a trip of a lifetime. I would recommend staying at this location to everyone. I hope that we get the opportunity to come back again.

It was a fantastic trip and it exceeded expectations. We stayed in an over water sunset villa and the views are absolutely breathtaking. The staff are all very friendly and can’t do enough to help. The food and drink are better than the other reviews make out in our opinion, especially if you like varied food and trying new things. We have absolutely loved our stay and hope to return!

We stayed here in December 2024 for a 5-night all-inclusive holiday booked through Luxury Escapes. We had originally booked the same trip in 2018 to travel in May 2020 but the Covid outbreak had other ideas. As you can imagine we were excited 4.5 years later being able to finally step foot in the Maldives. Mercure were kind enough to upgrade us from an Overwater Villa to an Overwater Pool Villa and we were so thankful. It was as stunning as all the pictures on the net. We had arrived at the end of the wet season, and it was still a little windy. Everyday spent there the water was getting smoother and clearer. As very active people I thought we may have got bored being stuck in one place, but wow, I was so wrong with that thought. We absolutely loved every single minute of our 5 nights here. Every meal, every interaction with staff and every experience surpassed any expectations we had. This was hands down, our favorite holiday. We will be back and stay longer. Thank you to Shia, Dharmika, Ali, Pubudu, Kunal, Kami, Allina and all the staff that ensured we had the best holiday. One word…..UNFORGETABLE

My wife and I just got home from our week at the Mercure Kooddoo Resort. The pictures on the website hardly do it justice. Our ocean villa was immaculate, and the housekeeping staff made it perfect every day. The bed art celebrating my 5th wedding anniversary that was there upon arrival was beautiful. Thanks Jilani. The buffet at the Alita restaurant was easily the highest quality buffet I have ever eaten at. The variety was not overwhelming, and each dish tasted excellent. The Vista restaurant was a great experience as well, but you need to plan ahead for dinner and make reservations. Thanks chef Selvakumar, servers Hassan and Louann. If you have any interest in Scuba diving, the water sports staff are extremely knowledgeable. If you aren’t certified, they can teach you the skills you need to dive safely, and then accompany you to view all of the coral and wildlife. Afterwards, they shared all of the GoPro video, so you can relive your experience. Thanks Marty. The bartending staff have a knack for quickly building rapport with guests. They remember your name, room number and what you like to drink in no time. These guys are the definition of “service with a smile.” Thanks Yukthi and Kamal. Punjubu, you also get an honorable mention. When weather took away my chance to use one of my guest experience vouchers, the front desk supervisor helped me out and gave me a different voucher so my wife and I could get a massage. Thanks Ella. Thanks again for an incredible experience, and hats off to the Resort Manager Stefania Banfi for running such a fine establishment.
