Incredible local reef that you can swim to right off the island.
Friendly staff, and decent food.
Italian and Thai restaurants are great. Buffet is very good for dinner, but not too many options for breakfast or lunch.
Would happily come back, especially for the immense sea life.
Beautiful island. Excellent snorkelling immediately next to the hotel. Good gym and decent room. Food was okay, but not lacked a bit of variety. Expensive (and unavoidable) seaplane transfer (and watch out for the limited weight limit)
Beautiful island and good place for snorkeling, carol and fish are so close to you. I really love the Aqua bar, nice view and every evening I will stay there with a cool drink. I also see beautiful sunrise in my room. Really nice place to stay.
Reef most of the way around the island. Some spots the water was very calm and good for beginners. Other spots were a bit rougher. All locations had lots of fish with a large variety of species.
Staff at the resort were fabulous. Babul and Ibrahim kept my villa in immaculate condition and constantly checked to see if there was anything I needed. Marx was a happy smiling server who always made a meal more pleasant
Thank you to all of the staff for making this a memorable experience
A wonderful holiday resort where we treated like royalty. Courteous friendly staff from cleaners to management. Couldn’t have asked for more as a way to celebrate 50 years of marriage.
Stayed 6 nights at the Machchafushi resort. An amazing experience overall. Great location with friendly and helpful staff. Enjoyed the stay and food. The room was spotless and the minibar daily replenished. Siva and Shafiq at the bar made some excellent mocktails and Yuvi explained everything to us on arrival. Credits to Nasru from house keeping . An overall great experience. Very unique given we had never stayed before on an over the water villa.
Had an amazing trip with the grand all inclusive package! Appreciated hotels.com pricing included flights, taxes and service charges so we knew the real cost in total up front. All in all this is a fabulous hotel, sensational service, excellent food and wonderful activities I would definitely book agai . Thank you for the wonderful experience!!
We had an amazing time at Centara Grand. The place is absolutely beautiful and the snorkeling straight out of the water villas is amazing. Food is super nice as well and the buffet restaurant was always varied so it never felt samey. All the staff was super friendly but we would like to thank in special Monir who would do our room and every day would leave a beautiful drawing made with sand or other natural materials on our villa floor.
Absolutely amazing, you need to stay in an overwater sunset villa w/ pool, this gets you exclusive club access basically to yourself and many other added benefits/perks and you must do all inclusive or the Grand all inclusive.
Only complaint is my wife is the pickiest eater you'll meet so it took some adjustment to find meals she liked (even from the kids menu) but all restaurants were super accommodating in customizing her meal to anything she wanted and by day 2 we had her eating like a king.
Bella Barriera corallina .
Struttura un po datata.
Cibo scadente con poca scelta quasi tutto aaiatico.
Ristorante thai e italiano servizio molto scarso lunghe attese.
We definitely enjoyed our stay at the resort. It was very peaceful and beautiful. Everyone was welcoming and polite. Well organized and neat. The things I would suggest they improve on is their restaurant options, different food options each day, for those with longer stay-a trip to explore the city, and more nightlife/activities. Overall, it was an amazing experience and will definitely be coming back.
