Hotels near Kooddoo Airport, Kooddoo Island

Replenish your honeymoon with your wife and enjoy the resort at a glance. The environment is so good that you can jump out into the Indian Ocean to go swimming and snorkeling every day. The sea is full of colorful tropical fish, sharks, devil fish, sea urchins and sea cucumbers. The service was very great, and there were kind smiles everywhere, especially the Siranthe of the pool bar, which gave me a very deep impression. I can understand what a super service is from the time I haven't started. We stayed on the 3rd, but arrived in Male on the 2nd night. The resort had communicated with my hotel in Male in advance. The next day I should go back to the airport to take the inland plane. set. E-mail English communication before departure is also afraid of any problems in the middle of the mistakes, but in the end I found that my fears are superfluous, really do not have to worry about anything. The only downside is that there are too few restaurants and food choices in the resort. The buffet for dinner is really good. If you want to go, you really need to bring more snacks and some instant noodles.

I can’t recommend this resort highly enough. Everything about it is perfect - the location; standard of accommodations; food; amenities and most of all, the staff. From the moment you arrive in Male you are looked after and everything is taken care of for you right up until you’re met off the speedboat when we were escorted to by buggy straight to our room for check in. All the staff in the resort are friendly and happy and their ambition is to make sure guests have the best experience. Hafiz and his team in the dining room are highly professional. They remembered our name and room number right from the first day and greeted us personally every day when we went to eat, making sure we had the best table available and everything we needed. They are so well trained and also a genuinely nice team that our dining experience was wonderful. Special thanks to Naresh who looked after us brilliantly in our room - 876 - not only did he clean and make it up thoroughly twice daily but he also helped us with any questions and made sure we had a bucket of ice and extra water every day. He made our stay very special. All the staff, whether directly supporting guests or working behind the scenes on maintenance or gardening were very happy and friendly always waving and saying good day when we passed. Don’t look any further than this resort if you want a luxurious break supported by the most wonderful staff. You won’t regret it.

The Residence blew us away! From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty. The staff cannot do enough for you. We were lucky to stay in a sunset water villa and house keeping were in 3 times a day making sure everything was spotless and bringing us snacks! We don't usually do all inclusive holidays so I was a little worried about the standard of the food - but it was all delicious. From the fresh fruit and freshly made omelettes in the morning to the constantly changing menus and themed dishes in the evening, it didn't even feel like we were at a buffet. The restaurants were also such a high standard. The other thing we weren't sure about before we booked was the size of the island and whether we would get bored. For us, the island was a perfect size. We had bikes outside our villa when we arrived and we loved cycling down to breakfast, or over to the neighboring island (not forgetting a beer stop at the castaway bar on the way!). We weren't ready to come home, and are already debating going back for this Christmas (which is big for us - we don't make a habit of booking the same place twice!) The reef was also breathtaking - we saw sharks, ray and turtles almost daily. We also loved the resident fruit bats. I need to give a big shout out to Haftz, Sajith, Nafu and Rayaan in the main restaurant too. They made us feel like family from the moment we arrived. If you're debating booking The Residence and you love a high standard of food, lots of marine life and being treated like a VIP - do it!

Opportunities for improvement: Rooms 1. consider using small bottles of water that can fit into the bar fridge. Cold water after a hot day is a game changer! Melange 1. Surf and turf: the big prawns and lobster meat were frozen and were not really attractive. After grilling, the meat turned out to be partially soggy, which is a turn off. 2. Suggestion: for the grill, cook to order instead of preparing the food and leaving it under a heater lamp. I.e. lamb cutlets, pork chops, grilled sea bass etc. Freshly grilled food taste better and maintains the high quality. Grilled food left under a heater lamp becomes either soggy or too tough. 3. Same suggestion for breakfast waffles: make to order rather than leave it on the plates ready to go. Examples of great service: 1. Mariana helped prepare a ice bucket of champagne for us even though the honeymoon comment was not originally registered by trip.com and pullman. She was very helpful and remembers what clients say. Top marks and greatly appreciated! 2. All buggy drivers greet upon pick up and some even went out of their way to reverse so we can video manta rays in shallow waters off our villa. Truly deserving of the great service tag! 3. All waiters serving at all restaurants always asks whether we want water to start off. It feels like an SOP but we love it! Consistent and service with a smile! Was truly a great experience and would love to come back again!
