An excellent vacation experience! 👍🏻 My family and I had a wonderful and enjoyable time. First off, the island is huge and has a full range of entertainment facilities, making it perfect for families of all ages to come and vacation 🏖️. It exceeded our expectations; it's simply beautiful! Especially Joey, who welcomed us – she was incredibly friendly and patiently introduced us to everything on the island. We kept bothering her from the first day of our check-in, and I even felt a bit bad for disturbing her 😅, but no matter how busy she was, she would always kindly reply to my questions right away. She even specially arranged a birthday cake and champagne 🍾 for me when she found out it was my birthday, which touched me deeply 🥲. All the other staff members were also very friendly! Happy times always feel too short! My family and I really didn't want to leave! We will definitely come back next time. Thank you to all the Hard Rock staff 🥰

errorkingA. Family trip, two villas. One sunset deluxe beach pool villa, and one sunset beach pool villa.
1. The deluxe villa is very luxurious and new, with air conditioning in the bathroom, but it's far from the restaurant and relatively further from the beach compared to non-deluxe rooms.
2. The regular villa is next to the restaurant, very close to the main pool and the lobby. However, it's older than the deluxe villa and its bathroom doesn't have air conditioning.
B. The hotel's location is excellent, just a 20-minute speedboat ride from Malé airport.
C. We bought the full board package. The restaurant specializes in Indian cuisine, which we really enjoyed. Juices and beverages are only available at breakfast. For lunch and dinner, you can only order à la carte; soft drinks are $5, juices are $10, plus an additional 27% service charge and tax. Haha...
D. The excursions are too expensive, it really hurt my wallet (see picture). It's better to book them on a local island.
E. You can snorkel near the overwater bungalows and the jetty, but there aren't many marine creatures, and the water quality is just average.
Overall, the hotel offers great value for money. Next time, I definitely need to visit a local island, it's so much more economical...
PS. It's best to download WhatsApp in advance. Our butler didn't really use WeChat and was often unreachable...

Rebekah YPWWithout question, this is the best-value Maldivian resort we have ever visited. We've stayed at several resorts in the Maldives, and none have managed to combine luxury, efficiency, quality and value quite like this.
From the moment we arrived, everything was incredibly well organized. Check-in was seamless, and throughout our stay the team consistently thought two steps ahead, ensuring that arrivals, bookings, activities and departure arrangements were all perfectly coordinated. We never once felt stressed or had to waste time waiting for anything. The Dusit Gold app was exceptionally responsive and useful, making the entire experience smooth and effortless.
Our villa was spotless, and housekeeping was outstanding. Turnover and turndown service were always completed perfectly and punctually. Every detail in the room worked flawlessly — from the coffee machine and hot water to the bathtub, water pressure and lighting. Nothing was faulty, which is surprisingly rare even at luxury resorts.
The food was genuinely some of the best we have experienced in the Maldives, with authentic flavours and a huge selection of food and drinks included in the all-inclusive package. What impressed us most was that the resort never cut corners. Unlike some resorts that can be stingy with portions or beverage quality, here they provide the full wholesome experience. Drinks were always generously poured and promptly refilled, and there was an excellent variety of restaurants open simultaneously for dinner, giving plenty of choice each evening.
Special thanks to Mohamed and the wonderful Barcelonian dive instructor, who were incredibly kind, professional and personable. They even remembered us by name before we had arrived at the dive centre, which made us feel genuinely welcomed. The management team was equally impressive — professional, attentive and seemingly never saying no to any request.
The spa treatments were excellent, especially the Thai massage by the Bhutanese therapist, and we also enjoyed one of the best deep tissue massages from the personal trainer at the gym. Prices for activities, spa treatments and extras were all very fair and represented excellent value.
Despite being close to Malé, the marine life was thriving and abundant. The water was crystal clear, peaceful and free from noise pollution. We were pleasantly surprised by how lush and vibrant the underwater environment was.
Another thing we appreciated was the sense of space. There was never any need to fight for sun loungers, cabanas or tables. Everything felt spacious and relaxed. Families are also exceptionally well catered for, with both a kids' club and a teens' club — something that is surprisingly rare.
For travellers who want to maximize their time in the Maldives and avoid spending hours on seaplane transfers, this resort is an absolute gem. The convenience of being close to Malé combined with such a luxurious atmosphere is hard to beat.
Overall, this has been the most value-for-money yet genuinely luxurious resort we have ever experienced. Exceptional service, outstanding food, thoughtful management, and a team that consistently goes above and beyond make this a place we would return to without hesitation.
Will definitely be back.

Guest UserFinally done with work, I can now write a review about the Maldives. I feel like the hotel I picked this time was exceptionally good. The hotel offers complimentary round-trip speedboat transfers. Our flight arrived around 10:00 AM, and while the normal check-in time in the Maldives is 2:00 PM, we arrived at the hotel around 11:00 AM and they still arranged a room for us immediately, so we could rest without waiting at the front desk. The front desk had a lovely lady who spoke Chinese, and she was incredibly polite and friendly. The only minor drawback was that I couldn't see anything while snorkeling here, which might also be due to my skill level. There are three islands connected, with a total of three hotels and over a dozen restaurants. I originally thought I wouldn't find much good food in the Maldives, but the hotel's food was surprisingly delicious. We chose the half-board option. For dinner, you could pick any restaurant and choose three dishes. All the staff were very friendly. On our last day, our flight was at 9:00 PM, and while normal check-out is at noon, they allowed us to stay until 5:30 PM before transferring us, which was perfect for heading to the airport. The most touching part was that one of our travel companions had a birthday, and while we were out, the hotel secretly put a cake and wine in our room. It was truly very touching and an unexpected surprise. This trip to the Maldives was incredibly surprising and delightful; I had a wonderful time!

Excellent hotel with top-notch service. I stayed in a suite and was impressed with the amenities: slippers, shower caps, toothbrushes, soap, shampoo, hair conditioner, shower gel, a shaving kit, hairdryer, iron, and they even brought an extra blanket – I really appreciated that! The sea view was stunning, and everything felt new and clean. We also tried the Balinese massage at the spa, which was amazing – the girls did a fantastic job! We didn't want to leave; we loved everything: the beach, the food, and the friendly atmosphere. We visited 5 islands and only stayed one day here, deciding to take a trip to Gili. We didn't want to leave, and if we could redo our trip, we would allocate more days for this hotel. It felt just like home, thank you! And most importantly, there's a bikini beach, which was a welcome relief from having to wear clothes all the time. Highly recommend!!!!

The Ultimate Healing Retreat: A Luxurious Escape for the Soul
If you are looking for a place to truly disconnect from the noise of the world and find your inner peace again, Grand Park Kodhipparu is the ultimate destination. After experiencing a period of burnout, this resort was exactly what I needed to recharge and find a fresh perspective on life.
Seamless Arrival & Pristine Beauty
From the moment we deal with the staff at the arrival area, the experience was effortless. The resort provides a dedicated luxury speedboat that picks you up and drops you off directly at the airport. It takes away all the stress of travel logistics. The island itself is incredibly well-maintained. The sand is powdery white, and the entire resort is kept spotlessly clean, preserving the natural beauty of the Maldives.
A Sanctuary for Peace
What I appreciated most was how the resort caters to both physical and spiritual well-being. They have a beautifully maintained mosque on the island, which is very serene, clean and well-kept. It added a layer of calm and convenience that made the stay even more meaningful
And not to forget, for your food of mind, they also have a mini library so that we can lay down through out the stay accompanied by the book of our choice. It can be borrowed & later returned via the reception.
Unforgettable Highlights
Snorkeling from the Villa: One of the best parts of the stay was being able to jump straight into the crystal clear water for snorkeling right under my room. The marine life is vibrant and right at your doorstep.
Dolphins at Breakfast: Imagine sipping your morning coffee and watching dolphins play in the distance. We were lucky enough to spot them during breakfast, which was a magical way to start the day.
Stargazing: During serene night, either near the beach or while you slowly brisk walking back to your room, it’s surely the perfect place to just enjoy the Maldivian night sky with the beautiful shining stars smiling at you.
The Staff: The service here is world-class. Every staff member is genuinely kind, attentive, and dedicated to making your stay perfect. They really go the extra mile to ensure you feel at home.
The Perfect Cure for Burnout
The atmosphere at Grand Park Kodhipparu is incredibly quiet and private. It is the perfect place to sit with a book, listen to the waves, and clear your mind. I left the island feeling like a new person, with a renewed spirit and a calm heart.
Final Verdict: A 10/10 experience. Whether you are seeking luxury or a deep mental reset, this is the place to be. We cannot recommend it enough! 😘

Svetlana LepekhaOur stay at Bandos Maldives was truly magical, from the moment we stepped onto the island to our farewell breakfast. The island itself is beautiful: well-maintained tropical gardens, clean and comfortable rooms with lagoon views, diverse and delicious cuisine, and a plethora of options for both active and relaxed leisure – from snorkeling by the reef to spa treatments and water sports. Everything was flawlessly organized with genuine attention to guests.
We especially want to highlight the atmosphere: the team at Bandos does everything to make your vacation effortless and joyful. The staff was consistently polite and smiling, quick to address any requests, and the service was thoughtful and unobtrusive. We particularly appreciated the cleanliness, order, and efficiency at the reception and in the restaurant.
Special thanks go to Lepkha, the bar staff member – her warm and attentive service made our evenings truly cozy. Lepkha not only expertly prepared cocktails but also tailored drinks to our mood, offered excellent recommendations, and always greeted us with a smile. Her care and sincerity left the warmest impressions and made our holiday unforgettable.
We recommend Bandos Maldives to anyone looking for a combination of relaxed island living and high-level service. We will definitely return, and next time, we'll be sure to find our magician, Lepkha, behind the bar. Thank you to the entire team for our delightful days on the island!

Guest UserSheraton Maldives Full Moon is an excellent resort with a beautiful island setting and a truly relaxing atmosphere. The staff are exceptionally friendly, professional, and always helpful, which really makes the stay memorable and comfortable from start to finish.
That said, there are a few areas that could be improved. The entertainment offerings are quite limited and would benefit from enhancement. The kids’ playground should be upgraded as soon as possible, with more engaging and modern facilities. In addition, more activities for adults—especially in the evenings—would greatly enhance the overall guest experience.
For water activities, it would be great to see more attractive and value-for-money packages offered, as this would encourage guests to participate more and enjoy the marine experiences the Maldives is famous for.
Overall, it is a wonderful resort with outstanding service, and with improvements in entertainment, kids’ facilities, adult activities, and water sports packages, it could easily be one of the best family-friendly resorts in the Maldives.

Guest UserPro - We had a fantastic stay at OBLU XPERIENCE. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. The food was excellent, offering a good variety of dishes each day, and the quality was consistently high. The staff were friendly and attentive, making our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, a great value resort that we would happily recommend to family and friends.
Also special mentions to Kids Club. The facilities were clean, spacious, and well-maintained, with plenty of activities to keep children entertained throughout the day. The staff were friendly, caring, and genuinely attentive, making the children feel welcome and safe.
Our kids especially enjoyed the games, creative activities, and the fun atmosphere. It was reassuring to know they were having such a great time while we relaxed and enjoyed the resort. The Kids Club is well-equipped for different age groups and offers a good balance of play, learning, and social interaction.
A big thank you to the Kids Club team for their enthusiasm and dedication. They helped make our family holiday even more memorable. We would highly recommend the Kids Club to families visiting OBLU Maldives.
Cons - While we enjoyed many aspects of our stay, one disappointing experience was being prohibited from entering the water directly from our water villa at 7:00 a.m. The sea was calm and the tide was low, making the conditions safe. One of the main reasons for booking a water villa is the freedom to access the ocean at any time, so this restriction was frustrating and took away from the experience.

АнтонЗOne of the best hotels on Maafushi Island. The hotel arranges airport transfers from Velana International Airport, complete with full assistance – luggage handling and refreshing drinks. They are accommodating with early check-ins without extra charges. The hotel has its own Bikini Beach, which is cleaned daily. A wonderful breakfast is included, depending on your booking rate.
