Depending on what room accommodation you had booked and area you got given on the island determined what restaurant was yours to dine in and you had to book to eat in other restaurants which after talking to other guests always seemed to be fully booked so we never bothered even trying...

    ...You could not walk into the sea and wouldn’t really want to. The bungalow was very old and outdated, for the amount of money it cost, I would have expected an amazing place, but it was more like a Butlins room... We have had the quality of the Bellagio in Vegas for half the price of this... Our host Sinjo offered us an upgrade for our last three days to a Jacuzzi beach villa on the opposite side which was amazing... I feel the value for money on the south east side is good, the value for money on the north west side is well below value...

    ...Our budget was hugely stretched to even make the Maldives a possibility so only just managed to squeak into the cheapest accommodation and as not big drinkers did not go All Inclusive. We read a few reviews complaining about the All Inclusive and accommodation structure limiting you to certain things and places and the prices of everything.......BUT if like us you are really stretching your budget to even make the trip this place is absolute well worth it... Yes it is expensive, but you are on an island in the middle of nowhere so of course importing everything doesn't make things cheap... This was a trip of a lifetime and again if you are considering this Island but worried you can only just make the cheapest deal......DO IT!...

    ...We stayed in a beach villa for the first part of our stay & were surprised with an upgrade to a water bungalow for the rest of our stay, both the beach villa and water bungalow were faultless and completely perfect in every way. The food, drinks, evening entertainment, standards, cleanliness of all facilities was outstanding... For anyone struggling to decide between islands, if you are looking for a beautiful, relaxed, immaculate, fun island, look no further!...

    Stayed here in September 19 on arrival after travelling for 24 hours we were given the keys to our beach villa and just pointed in the general direction, so off we walked with our heavy cases to find the room had not been cleaned after the last guests had left, bed not made, room a tip , fag ends on the balcony & so on, at first we thought they had given us the wrong keys so we had to walk all the way back in 30+ heat we then had to wait about 3 hour’s for the room to be cleaned, totally exhausted all we wanted was to sleep...

    We had an excellent stay in a Premium Beach Villa (201)... The grill and egg station chefs in Koama were excellent and the turtle pancake was a particular highlight... The staff at Koamas were excellent - very attentive without being intrusive, and they made it a point to remember things about you, especially the host... The “see you soon” message on our last night at dinner was a lovely touch... Overall we found the service to be exceptionally good... We had some issues with the safe and wifi connection in our room but these were rectified quickly on informing our host and reception... If the wifi stops working you just need to switch the router off and on again... The room was cleaned twice a day and the outdoor bathroom was great... We had a good time at the overwater spa, although the treatment package we were given was about 20 minutes shorter than advertised on the app... The dive center was very well run and we went on dive trips every day... The gym was clean and very well equipped with a prime beachfront location...

    ...We stayed in the beach bungalow accommodation on the north side of the island and upgraded our package to the all inclusive gold, having previously stayed on the all inclusive plus package. This package includes access to all pools, bars, restaurants, and included premium drinks and was worth every penny... Each and every member of the staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make your stay personal and special... We went on the full day snorkel boat trip with Pro Divers and managed to have a once in a lifetime experience of swimming with 3 giant manta rays who circled and looped around our group of 6 for 30 mins, an experience I will never forget and am grateful to the boat crew and snorkel instructor for their expertise and reassurance!... We will definitely be back again when we can and can’t recommend it enough!...

With my 21 years working for the number 1 customer service company, you always notice certain behavior/attitude/ body language/communication etc... Bharat Lamichhane is one of them, he was the complete package "one of kind" what a kind humane being, very humble, thoughtful, professional, pro-active, social, an "ambassador" at your resort and your best business card... Mae from the event team crowned our vacation as she made our most special day "the wedding day" a day to remember, it was incredible how much effort she put in got personal involved to make it perfect and the team with Soba made sure it got framed forever with care, love and emotion (the team felt like our family during the wedding)...

Also Kiran the chef behind the main hot plates was fantastic, made our omelettes just how we liked them, such a friendly and professional person... We had a few little issues during our stay, spoke to Charles who was one of the management team on the resort who sorted out and rectified these issues withing 24 hours, he made our honeymoon that extra special and made us feel that we could come and talk to him about anything, we cannot thank him enough for everything he did for us...

    We had a lovely stay at the Kuredu resort in November 2022. Staff was great, especially our waiter and the cooks were very welcoming and professional... They also cater to certain food allergies or preferences fx they always had gluten-free bread and desserts, as well as different vegetarian options... If you like scuba diving, the Prodivers staff are very welcoming and professional (special thanks to Fabien, Kai and Thasleem)... The island is big in comparison with other resorts in the Maldives, which was great as you can take walks along the lush pathways or strolls along the miles of white sandy beaches... There are a few shops which sell a small variety of souvenirs, clothes, sunscreen and snorkel equipment...

    ...We were met by our Island rep, Sinjo George, he could not have been more helpful, if there was anything you needed, just message him, and it was sorted, from advice about trips, the spa, etc... In our allocated restaurant, Koamas, all the staff were so friendly and helpful, a big shout out goes Asim, he looked after us all week, making suggestion about food to eat, and what to do on the island, our house keeper, sorry i cant remember his name, but i do know he's the goalkeeper for FC Kuredu (what do i need to do to become a season ticket holder, and is there discount on holidays if you are)... We stayed in one of the beach villas, and i con highly recommend these, the location is stunning, just being sat on the veranda looking at the white sand and sea with a glass of white wine in hand, perfect... The room itself is lovely, large comfortable bed, well stocked mini bar if your all inclusive... The one thing i loved was the open plan bathroom, once you got over the shock that it was open plan!!... Having a shower while listening to the wildlife and sat watching the local fruit bats was an experience, that i got more pleasure than they got probably...

    ...Depending on what room accommodation you had booked and area you got given on the island determined what restaurant was yours to dine in and you had to book to eat in other restaurants which after talking to other guests always seemed to be fully booked so we never bothered even trying... Entertainment at the hotel was nothing like we experienced before more tasteful and less cheesy than usual shows, there was a film night, live singer, cultural Maldivian show and discos that weren’t like a rave night/ or foam parties... The fish in the Indian ocean were amazing I’ve never seen such wonderful colours or even a baby stingray so close, neither me or my partner did snorkelling as it was allocated to just an area, and we spent most of our time just outside our own garden bungalow as each one has their own loungers and furniture to just chill and relax...

Kuredu as 8 time repeaters we didn’t think it would get any better - it is is for us the epitome of luxury and style a stay in paradise. We usually stay in the ‘O’ beach villas and use the ‘O’ restaurant which has incredible views and a beautiful pool. After 5 visits we get the benefits of being able use all facilities and so this trip we used the Sangu restaurant and pool as well and were hooked! Breakfast daily on a table set on the beach overlooking pristine turquoise sea - pancakes or eggs made to order even a honeycomb - they even had Bircher muesli ! - it’s the little things ! Oh and the little bananas grown on the island so sweet and fresh passion fruits were amongst my favourites. The restaurant is incredible - imagine a large Parmesan wheel set alight to melt the cheese into Rissotto rice while you watch ! They have a chef using a traditional clay oven to prep Nam bread and Chicken and fish tikka - using local herbs - everything beautifully presented and so delicious. An all inclusive restaurant where Maldivian Stripe Lobster was on the menu one evening ! blown away. So when I talked about style - it is things like this -the views - pool side service - whilst swimming in the infinity pool. Lounge on the most sublimely comfortable beds and being brought cool cloths and shots or cocktails on a tray ! Since we last visited the Island 6 years ago cocktails have been added to the all inclusive i think that’s pretty rare - I was also able to drink premium spirits - checking out a range of great gins. The house red was a gorgeous merlot which we had ever night. Another change is the gym it has been moved into an amazing building -purposes built with a location overlooking the sea - we didn’t make it for a work out but I did spent an hour in the new beautifully designed yoga hut which is also a gorgeous new addition and has complimentary classes. Although we don’t have young kids we saw there is now a children’s play area beautifully designed and flowing as do all the buildings. In the restaurant nearby there is a station area for the children again so beautifully designed with a mural and at their height to serve themselves - everything just works it was so cute. We ate in the Beach restaurant the last night - we have before but it’s even better - the food was Michelin star quality - the chef came to greet us after we had eaten which is a nice touch. We had an amazing experience dining under the stars hearing the water lapping and our feet in the warm sand. We dived with Pro Divers having a tune up with Remi as it had been a while - he was lovely and very patient helping me regain my confidence - as always the most professional and safety conscious team -super friendly and welcoming - we did all our diving certifications here - as did our daughter when she was about 13 - we first came to Kuredu 2005 - in terms of equipment they even have their own decompression chamber on the island. Were taken by the kind and helpful boat staff to sites were we dived into the blue - seeing ledges of turtles in the caves and in the blue 2 feet away saw 3 grey tip reef sharks swimming past. Hot tea and banana cake always a treat on the way back - but on one occasion an even bigger treat around 30 dolphins a few feet away in the water the boat staff intuitively know how to communicate to get them to come to the boat . And if it couldn’t get any better there is also the spa - We spent several hours at the diniye over the water spa sublime scrubs and massages -floating back to our beach villa to watch the sun go down. Every time we go we wonder whether it will have changed and we won’t want to return but for us it’s just getting better, the prices have increased but so has the style and luxury - and we don’t have the kids to pay for now ! having got back on Monday we can’t wait to return. There are repeater guests who have been here 35-50 times that doesn’t surprise us and you might think why would you do that - probably because nowhere else compares - it’s a beautiful island - and it’s supported by wonderful people so why would you go anywhere else.

We went for our honeymoon and enjoyed the resort and all it had to offer immensely- it was a true paradise and felt like we were living in a postcard. Aside from the simply stunning surroundings and wildlife what made this holiday extra special was the staff! Every single person we met across the resort was so friendly, professional and welcoming. It felt like one big family which we adored. We wanted to thank everyone for making our honeymoon such a special memory for us. In particular, we want to thank Shafleen, who was our Sangu waiter. Shafleen not only offered an exceptional service during mealtimes but also shared some really helpful tips and advice which helped us make the most of our stay. We also want to thank Albi and Jimesh (taxi drivers around the island) who always greeted us with a smile and good chat and made getting around the island effortless and pleasant. In addition, we want to thank Harrow (our housekeeper), not only was our accommodation kept immaculate throughout our stay, but he even went above and beyond and on a really hot day provided fresh coconuts and explained how they would help regulate our temperature. He did this a few times during our stay which we were really touched by. We also enjoyed our spa treatment (with therapists Linda and Kay) at the Landspa. They were incredibly professional, and we highly recommend their service and the full moon magic treatment for honeymoon couples. We also had an amazing experience with the Prodive team snorkeling with Karen, who was determined to find us a Green Sea Turtle and was so patient and supportive of all of the group. Especially being supportive of myself as a novice swimmer. The food was so good and the chefs great at remembering general likes and dislikes. We also wanted to mention during our stay we played paddle tennis with a couple of members of the team, unfortunately we cannot remember the names sadly, but we had such a brilliant time having that spontaneous game and it was so kind of them to explain the rules and take time to play a game with us. We hope one day to return for another special occasion and see the island and the staff again soon.

The Island was too big for us and it took us a lot of time to go from one place to the other. The good thing is, that the Island has several attractions and you always find something to do. Our room was perfekt, big and comfortable and we were very satisfied. The meal was OK, but it could have been better. The vegetable were always the same and so it was a little bit boring. We are very happy with the personal in general and would like to say, that Samee at the O reception was really very helpfull to us all the time. He ist always friendly and attentive: he loves his job and do it at its best. Thanks a lot , Samee.

Everything from the minute we landed in Male to our return departure was just outstanding. The efficiency of the TMA staff for our seaplane transfer to the island was second to none. The welcome received on arrival at the island resort and the friendliness of host/reception staff eased us in to island life and provided us with all of the info we needed for our stay. Cannot recommend the premium jacuzzi beach villas enough. Perfect location on the island and the pristine white sands with easy access to the jndian ocean. Much preferred this side of the island. The cleanliness of the villa was always top class. All staff that we came across were very welcoming, friendly and accommodating and nothing was ever too much and they went about their work with a smile on their face which made our stay even more relaxing and enjoyable. One slight negative is how much the prices have increase for the same holiday, same time in 2024, which has unfortunately priced us out of a return visit

The only reason I gave this a 3 star and not 5 is the host that was assigned to us when we arrived!! She was very rude, had a very negative attitude, and very unprofessional comments! Amira started speaking about politics and everything that's wrong in the world the minute she arrived with the forms to fill! She didn't even stop to think maybe we don't want to hear about the world that's going to hell the first day of our honeymoon! She even gave us attitude when we requested to see the villa we originally paid for before the resort decided to give us an upgrade, she let us walk all the way to the opposite side of the island instead of calling a cart to take us, which is a far distance specially after a full day of planes and boats to get to the resort! She also failed to introduce everything that's included in our booking, which restaurants, which bars... etc, To a more positive note, the rest of the staff are lovely, helpful, professional, cheerful and super nice, the villa was neat and beautiful, a bit smaller than what we expected tho but didn't bother us since the view is priceless The island offers many bars and restaurants, so many activities and a different even each night, we truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back! But will ask for a different host next time for sure
