Our 9 night visit to You and Me was quite frankly a holiday of a lifetime. It is the most beautiful island, with the friendliest staff, gorgeous food and pure paradise.
We were lucky enough to stay in the You and Me suite, so had our own gym, pool and pool table, the sea was bliss and the wildlife we saw was breath-taking.
Every night was themed in the restaurants and there was even a cinema night on the beach that was magical.
The island took us only 15 minutes to walk around, which we did after breakfast each day, and we even treated ourselves to a wonderful massage at the spa.
The H20 restaurant was a highlight, not only for the views underwater but from people that love food and dine in Michelin restaurants, it really was top notch!
What really made it were the staff. Nobody could do enough for you, they referenced you by name and made the whole holiday the most wonderful experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you and me to anyone considering to go.

When we arrived on You & Me we were met by our host, Elma, who was Very attentive and helpful with information and arranging excursions via WhatsApp.
The dolphin villa was great, with enough room for what we needed and the pool was a welcome addition. There isn’t much shade as the afternoon sun makes its way round, so it’s easy to burn, but the cleanliness of the room is second to none, and should you ask for extra’s, they arrive quickly. Room service can take around 40 minutes to an hour for delivery.
Mariyam & Rochelle in the sand restaurant are lovely and very chatty. Be warned if you go later in the sittings service can be very slow. The Ale carte menu doesn’t change, and you pay extra for the lobster, but this is enough for 2 people! Breakfast in sands is very slow, whilst we had no problem relaxing and waiting, 20 mins for water after arrival and 45 minutes waiting for breakfast after ordering was too long. However if you go for an earlier sitting, service is much quicker.
Krystal & sudhip in the cheers bar are definitely worth a mention! Very friendly and always on hand to bring the next round of drinks. The Cheers bar has excellent service and is the best of all! The bar is kept very clean and you can often find staff brushing the sand. It is well Presented and the staff very friendly and welcoming.
Jeyma who served drinks at the Tapanyaki restaurant is great! The two lads had a great act going and it’s definitely worth a visit.
Azim who takes care of the watersports is very chatty and worth recognition.
Hanto accompanied us on a excursions and went out of his way to make sure we had a great time.
The Green carpet is probably the weakest of the areas, service is very slow and staff often got the order wrong or were inconsistent with servings, probably because they are always so busy.
The Pool glow party is brilliant !!!! An Excellent night with a mixture of music for everyone to dance to! You can sit in the pool tables however most of the dancing takes place on the pool so be prepared to make room, but a very relaxing fun night!
The Maldivian night is buffet style starter and you can sit at low tables on the beach.
On a few nights we had Choppy sea around the villa, the sea made the villa shudder at night when windy. Dolphin villa sun mid morning until sunset, ideal when had enough of the beach.
Beach cabanas were tired & some in need of repair but the sea is excellent for swimming and shallow for snorkelling. Service is ordered at cheers bar.
When dj on in cheers bar at night, music can be heard in villas, but this finishes at 12.
Romantic cruise is wonderful, with a chance to see the dolphins Deserted island is good experience however take something to cover up with as little shelter available and no toilets on the island.
The Snorkelling trip is highly recommended!!

Dear Palmer3271, Greetings from the sunny Maldives! Many thanks for your detailed review of your stay on our beautiful island. You have provided great impressions about your journey at You & Me: the attentive and dedicated service provided by Elma, the comfort of the Dolphin Villa and the excellent cleaning service, as well as the special attention by Mariyam and Rochelle. Our Food & Beverage and Kitchen teams are currently working on the improvement of the delivery time of the food. I am certain that you can appreciate that we aim to provide a high-quality standard of food and choices, bearing in mind that we offer an à la carte meal, the delivery of dishes may feel slower than a buffet. I apologize for the inconvenience caused. Cheers Bar is the place to be and it is encouraging that you found the staff so friendly and attentive. We provide interesting night entertainment and the Glow Party is the latest incorporation to the program. It’s also amazing that you appreciated some of the activities, such as snorkeling and excursions. Once again, thank for your comments and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back very soon! Warm regards, Ahmed Jihad – Jay General Manager You & Me by Cocoon Maldives

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveler reviews.
You & Me Cocoon is a real place of interest for diving, with a super professional diving team, and the boat crew really cares for guests!
The resort is easy living, nice new and comfortable bungalows, pristine beaches, but unfortunately no corals in the lagoon...some fishes though, close to the rocks.
Food is great, despite an italian predominence. As we are French who do not like italian cuisine at all, we highly recommend the super sri-lankan chef, who enchanted us with his delicious indian cuisine.
we regret : - the pool is ugly - the plastic green carpet in the pool restaurant is an absolute lack of taste!!! We come to the Maldives to enjoy nature, beautiful sand, natural materials, and we find an ugly fake grass instead (which burns the feet). Seriously, remove this insane green plastic from the place!!!

We recently spent 10 days on this wonderful & beautiful island mid March. The whole experience of the Sea plane transfer was great, we had visited the Maldives previously but had a Speedboat transfer, But the views of islands & Atolls made it that bit more special. On arrival we were greeted by Elma & check-in was very quick and straight forward, really nice touch was a quick tour of the island by buggy showing us all areas. Accommodation is all new, we stayed in a Dolphin villa with superb sunsets, but also visited a beach villa, both were excellent & housekeeping kept rooms immaculate visiting twice daily. There are only 110 rooms on island, but 5 restaurants, including the amazing H2O underwater restaurant, ( which is an additional cost) but well worth the experience. The standard of food and variety was excellent across all of them. Even though the island is smaller than others we had visited, there was always plenty of space, it never appeared busy, which added to whole experience. Staff at water sports centre were great, Went on the paid snorkelling excursion which was an amazing experience, also used free facilities including Kayaking & paddle boards. Pool area, beaches, sea & snorkelling are also excellent. Resident band Sahara also great. Last comments have to go to all the most amazing staff who made this a truly wonderful holiday. There are just too many to mention, but the Cheers bar staff of Krystal, Sina, Jay & Solomon were exceptional.

Dear Mike and Tina, What a fantastic review, I am glad that you had a truly wonderful holiday at You & Me Maldives. I could not agree more that it is our amazing team who make a difference, I am thrilled that our team members were able to make your stay even more relaxing and memorable. At You & Me, we have a variety of culinary options and I am delighted that you have enjoyed all the food and beverage experiences. There is no doubt our underwater restaurant H2O would be the highlight and it’s our landmark. The villas are one of the strongest features and we do receive tremendous feedback from our valuable guest. I am pleased that you have appreciated the Sunset stunning view from the Dolphin and Beach villa. Elma very much appreciates the kind words and compliments and Water Sports team send their very best wishes. Seaplane experience can be an adventure, you can enjoy the most beautiful stunning island view and the natural beauty is mesmerizing. You are absolutely right, the Sahara band is the best and their music suites to our concept and we do receive many positive feedbacks about the music selection. I have shared your kind words with Krystal, Sina, Solomon, and Jay and they sincerely appreciate that you have acknowledged their dedication. Once again, thank you very much and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to our beautiful island soon. Kind regards, Jay Ahmed Jihad-Jay General Manager You & Me Maldives

Just returned from 10 day stay on this idyllic island. The beauty of the place was equally matched by the warm and friendly staff. From our arrival with Elma right through to Mae & Adam who were always on hand at Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner. With 3 restaurants as well as one underwater just a short boat ride offshore but within the reef. The choice of food was excellent, not a buffet in sight, all had a choice for each course and the quality of both food and cooking could not be faulted. We had a beach suite which was perfect, stepping out each morning on the powder white sand to see the turquoise sea just gentling lapping on the shore before heading of to a sumptuous breakfast served by friendly and attentive staff. The water borne facilities are excellent and once again the staff are so helpful. The boys running the equipment facility were so helpful and friendly with Achim & Bunny (the dolphin whisperer) . Most days were spent snorkelling or paddle boarding in the calm turquoise bay on our side of the island. I spent one afternoon watching a pod of dolphins swim and play at the side of my Jet Ski, a truly memorable experience which I doubt will ever be matched. Chris in the scuba diving centre was the perfect instructor for the first timer, always supportive and made the experience so easy to enjoy. The standard of care was even matched in the housekeeping with Loozee coming in twice a day to ensure all was spic and span. Elma made sure everything ran smoothly and arranged extra special things for Sharon's birthday from bed decoration to a chocolate birthday cake. We cannot thank you all at You&Me for making our holiday one that we will remember forever. Stunning location, stunning facilities and friendly people, what more can you want from a holiday. Kevin & Sharon

Beautiful island with beautiful people there. There is very quiet and relaxed atmosphere. Keep smiling staff is always ready to help you with everything you need or wish. Cosy accomodation with beautiful view just from your bed. Originally we wanted to book the Dolphin Vila with Pool but now I am happy it was fully booked because Aqua Suite with Pool has perfect location with more privacy. On this island you can enjoy wellness treatment, sport activities or just relax on the white beach. Cuisine was delicious, lots of vegetables, sea food, small portions which are good for your health :-) but if you want something different you can enjoy hamburger with french fries ... it is up to you. Visit the local diving centre and dive with friends :-) We really thank to our island host Mandey for his smiles, will and cares, our diving guide Jina who was so patient with us. We hope we will see you soon again.

I stayed at You & Me for my honeymoon from 24th to 27th, 2020. I spent $3500 plus dollars for my 4days & 3 nights for full board in Dolphin Villa with the Pool and I had a very average experience especially due to the service provided. Usually, I don’t write reviews, but I am writing this to make sure what people can expect from this resort. Apologies for writing this review on a negative note but this was my honest experience.
We arrived at Male/Velana airport at 2.00 PM and was able to identify the staff and we were asked to wait for 90minutes for our seaplane transfer (which was annoying) and it took us about ~60minutes to reach the resort. By the time we reached it was ~5.00 PM and the travel alone consumed us the first day. We were assigned to a butler (Maria). Unfortunately, the hotel agent with whom I made the reservation was on a different island and this made a huge disconnect between what was communicated to us as a package with what was provided to us in the resort. Also, the butler was not able to effectively communicate and identify our needs.
The Gala dinner was mandatory ($400 for two) and there were very limited vegetarian food options (as we do not consume meat) and we were completely ignored, and we had to complain to the restaurant manager to get food to our table. Drinks ordered were served after 20mins. Most of the guests were disappointed as the interval between serving each course took very long. We enjoyed snorkeling and did scuba at the Dive Center and we were instructed by Adam and this person was extremely good and we loved it. La Pasta restaurant was really good and Inthika (restaurant staff) was very nice to us and he provided food as per our needs.
We were given complimentary wine (honeymoon package) and upon consumption, I placed the remaining in the mini bar fridge and they charged us $45 stating that we used we drank white wine instead of red wine. We did explain to them but they did not accept it and we were not ready to argue so ended up paying (terrible experience). Please note if you take the laundry bag it costs you $45. To sum it up the property is brand new and it’s a perfect getaway spot but the staff and service are not great and food options are very limited for vegetarians and please reconsider this place for food if you’re a vegetarian/vegan.

Dear Vegeta, Warmest greetings from You & Me by Cocoon Maldives! Thank you for your recent stay on our beautiful island. You & Me is the most ideal place for a honeymoon retreat. It is a small boutique island and it’s an adult-only resort that creates a very quiet and peaceful island. You & Me is one of the most romantic resorts in the Maldives. We are pleased to read that you have enjoyed the authentic Italian restaurant Lapasta experience and very much appreciated the impeccable service received from Indika. At You & Me, we offer a comprehensive A La carte concept and our aim is providing the best fresh food to our guests. The diving team is very happy to read your kind words, in particular, Adam. The stunning sunset dolphin pool villas are very popular as they are surrounded by the most beautiful natural environment. I am very surprised to read your feedback as you did not mention any service shortfalls during your stay also in your review. Normally seaplane transfer may take 60-90 minutes waiting time and we were able to arrange the earliest possible transfer on your arrival. We have checked your bills and we have not charged a laundry bag, it is worth mentioning that we do not charge USD45 for a laundry bag. I believe you have consumed a bottle of wine from the minibar and it was explained to you in detail during your check out. We sincerely appreciate your valuable feedback it is an instrumental tool to enhance our product and service. We hope to have another opportunity to welcome you back to our brand new hotel and we will make sure that you have a flawless experience.

We was meant to get married before we arrived her but sad to say due to Scotland government they stop use twice from getting married so was meant to be we’re honeymoon but hotel still granted it and gave us the honeymoon extras fingers crossed third time lucky April 2021 😂
I have to say this was one amazing holiday me and my partner have ever had. When you see photo online and in holiday books you really don’t think it can look as good as it says. Well I have to say the photos do justice in all areas of the island. I have to thank all the staff for all there hard work doing a great job looking after the island from watching them cleaning the beach every morning to serving beautiful breakfast, lunch and evening meals and the great music of hat the DJ plays at nights great beats. I have to say we miss hearing the breakfast waiter (NA-AM) voice in the morning this woman always full of joy and we just wanted to adopt her she was amazing. Also all other staff as well was amazing and so helpful and kind. Were cleaning for the room always made sure the room was cleaned and always very helpful and making sure we had the right items stocked in the fridge each day and again very nice guy so keep up the good work. From arriving from sea please our butler Nishan was amazing from first to last day. He was so helpful at arranging day trips and evening meals and always at the end of a WhatsApp message anytime we needed him but due to us having such a great time we did not have to bother him very little as everything was so perfect. The sports centre I have to say just WOW they was awesome and for me being crazy for jet ski night they made sure I got a great time and the extra time in there was evening better. The first time on them got to go crazy just out side the hotel and the next day was even better as we went around all different islands looking for dolphins but sad to say no luck that day lol. The highlight of my trip and I recommend everyone having a go is the FLY BOARD just WOW the best think I have ever done and they trained me so well even they was amazed how fast I learned it. Was so Advanced I finished the second day just short of 10mtrs in the air was best feeling ever.
I have to say the only thing I did not like about the island was FLYING DRONES the island says on there website these are not allowed to be used by guests. There was nothing worse sitting relax in the villa and at the beach having this buzzing hovering noise going around so really think that needs to be stopped. Only the hotel one is allowed for them using to take professional photo shoots.
Overall the best time on were life’s. ❤️

This is our 7th trip to the Maldives first to You and Me cocoon. It is one of the smallest islands we have stayed at but still stunning . Now I wouldnt say this is a five star resort it lacks litte touches that other islands offer . No flower decoration at night on the bed or fresh fruit on arrival in your room ,other islands do this . Also having your meals booked for you at certain times this we felt was unesssary you should have a choice you don't always want to eat at 12.30 also certain drinks you had to pay for as not on all inclusive package which was very confusing. Sunbeds on the beach some were broken on other islands you would see workmen out daily doing repairs . Night fishing chargble other islands we have been to its free all these little things make a difference . Entertainment good the first week singer was fab but second week they had a new one which lacked chrisma didn't connect with crowd disappointing. Maldivian night was fabulous . No crab racing at this island thats great entertainment. Service very slow in restaurants could be waiting 20,minutes just for a cup of coffee in a morning for breakfast which is frustrating but this is not the fault of the staff they are young some only been there a month, helpful, friendly absolutely lovely the problem is it needs managing better by management . Dolphin villa with pool is lovely . Snorkeling was not the best we have seen more fish and coral at other places . Cleaning -cups , glasses we used in the room plus sink area ,shower never cleaned in the morning . H20 restaurant was amazing experience absolutely worth a visit although we were told it would be $600 originally we paid $250 which is enough to pay . This island could make so much more of this place they only have one bar which is quite small. But we had a fantastic time staff are absolutely lovely, food was good small portions but you never go hungry definitely recommend Japanese and Italian restaurants. Wine very good ,chargeable at H20 restaurant. Would we visit this island again the answer is no there are 197 islands in the Maldives that offer alot more .

Dear dipsey52, Warmest Greetings from You & Me by Cocoon Maldives! Thank you for your recent stay at You & Me by Cocoon Maldives. You & Me is a small boutique island and it is an adult-only resort that creates a very quiet and peaceful ambiance. You & Me is one of the most romantic resorts in the Maldives. We are pleased that you have very much appreciated our stunning design of the hotel and its surroundings. Whilst we strive to make unforgettable experiences for all our guests alike, we also strive to ensure that our team is always motivated and empowered to deliver the best of their abilities. The villas are designed to keep in mind the guests comfort and relaxation and I am pleased that you had the opportunity to experience the Dolphin villa that creates a very quiet and peaceful ambiance and there no doubt this blissful Island is indeed the perfect venue for you to relax and be pampered. In regards to cleaning and services daily 2 times room attendant were provided the service. At You & Me, we offer a very unique culinary journey. Our full board and all-inclusive guest can enjoy four restaurants including the Sand, Green carpet, the authentic Italian restaurant and Teppenyaki. It is a delight to know that you enjoyed Teppenyaki and authentic Italian restaurant very much. In respects to your disappointment of breakfast coffee service, we would like kindly inform you that our aim is to serve as quick as possible however somedays more than 40 to 50 guests arrive at the same time and somedays we couldn’t have delivered the coffee on your estimated timing. Nevertheless, please accept our sincere apologies for that matter and please rest assured that we have now taken preventive measures so that such disturbance does not reoccur in the future. We always strive to provide the best service for every guest every day. It is worth mentioning Underwater Restaurant H2O is the most prestigious experience and we have rebranded the restaurant as H2O by Michelin star chef Andrea Berton was always the highlight. We always receive amazing feedback about the restaurant's food and service. The breathtaking view and the marine life around the restaurant are spectacular. Your comments regarding the All-inclusive packages are much appreciated and have been shared with the team for required improvements to be made, however our packages are one of the best among the market and upon arrival your island host have briefed that cocktails and liquors are included only in the bar and during the meals at restaurants selections of wines are available including white/red/rose. Undoubtedly You & Me is the most ideal place for the best holiday retreat as it is a small boutique island and creates fantastic vibes in terms of evening entertainment, every night there was a live music followed by DJ besides once on a week Glow Party, Karaoke Night & Maldivian traditional dance and in regards to live music every musician follows different style. It is always our top priority to provide the best You & Me experience to our valuable guests at all times. It is not without regret we learn that we did not meet your expectations in some of the areas during your stay. We hope to have another opportunity to serve you in one of our Cocoon properties in the Maldives and we will ensure a flawless experience. Kind regards Inthi Resort Manager

We spent 9 nights at You & Me back in Nov 2020, staying in both a dolphin villa with pool as well as an aqua suite with pool. Our island host Laura greeted us upon arrival and looked after us throughout our stay. Laura was contactable by whatsapp for absolutely anything – to book dinner reservations, the spa, excursions and even to help with our troublesome neighbours.
The resort was clean, immaculate, with a casual shabby chic feel. Our room was lovely – good size, well maintained, bathroom was lovely (nice touch with a separate door overlooking lagoon from the shower), and the outside space with that pool was just perfect!
During the first part of our stay the resort was only at 40% capacity due to covid, and everything ran smoothly. It was a luxury to feel like we had the resort to ourselves. The second part of our week was much busier with a surge of new arrivals and we noticed a change within service. Meal times were much slower and often we would need to request the same item three times before it arrived. On one occasion part of our meal didn’t turn up at all. It took so long that we just ate our meal and didn’t bother to follow up.
Staff we were all extremely friendly. Big shout out to our friendly room attendant who stopped by daily, to the lovely guys at Cheers bar, and also to Laura and Rina who always stopped us to say hello and see how we are.
Our booking was made via travelzoo on a discounted offer. For the price, we were very happy with our stay. However, should we have paid full price (almost double the cost) then I would have felt hugely disappointed. There is a level of expectations for the Maldives, especially a 5 star resort, and for that price I would have expected to see more variation & better quality food. Drinks and the all-inclusive package were fairly limited. For example only certain drinks were available with meals, the room minibar was not included within the package, and many ppl experienced issues with taking drinks back to their room from the bar.
The resort is extremely small and you can walk around the island in less than 10 minutes, if that. With this in mind, we found 7 days was enough to see and do everything. My only complaint would be in regards to the number of influencer freebie’s they seem to give out. I work in PR so understand the nature of marketing, however we were directly impacted when a group arrived staying in three villas aside to us. The noise disturbance, nudity, and general mannerisms were not appreciated. This was a once in a life time trip for us which was almost ruined by others. Thankfully Laura and the resort manager stepped in immediately and moved us to the other side of the island away from those guests, giving us a complimentary upgrade in the process.
All in all, if the price was right, I would happily return. Many thanks for having us!
