Mövenpick Resort Kuredhivaru Maldives

Loved it all! The place was clean and well maintained. Everything was thought of carefully and well organized. All the staff were pleasant and helpful and made the stay unforgettable. Food was delicious! Variety was great. We had opted for full board and it was a good choice. The villas over the water was a dream come true! A special shout out to Shadwah our lovely host. 🥰 Minor needs: needed some air coolers or something at the meal areas and the music areas. It was really hot at nite when there is no breeze. The doorbells at the villas are really loud and makes u wonder if its for you and u end up opening doors. We were woken up twice on Sunday wee hours, due to the doorbell sounds next door. Not sure how they can fix though. Overall a great getaway at a beautiful place. 💖

We have chosen the hotel for its spacious 2 bedroom villas which are rare to find in Maldives. The villa was good indeed - Spacious, fresh with a nice and quite big private pool. Very comfortable air conditioning and overall very good. Another strong side of the hotel is kids club. It has its own pool and very interesting activities including cooking classes. All activities are free. Ekaterina and Guliya from Russia are super nice and professional. But food is definitely not a strong side of the hotel. There are only 3 restaurats in the resort (dont trust their web site 😅) and only 1 is open for lunch. The only tasty restaurant was Japanese (dinners only) which you need to book well in advance. So buffet will be your main spot for dinner. There is a good variety of food in the buffet but not so many tasty dishes except for Friday nights when the serve grilled lobsters. The 3rd restaurant - latitude (pool bar actually, open at lunch & dinner) has a short menu with a choice mostly between burger and pasta 😏 so for lunch we had to order room service and once got food poison. The beach and ocean is not so good compared to other resorts in Maldives. Too many sharp corals so you can hardly swim especially at low tide. Corals are grey (not interesting for snorkeling, but lots of fish including different types of shark (black tip, guitar) which swim in 2-3 meters away from the shore. Spa is good, but not more than that. Hotel offers some free activities: paddle board, tennis (located in staff living area) and chocolate hour with ordinary candies and sweets (why chocolate and not ice cream if its movenpick? 🤔). Also there is a cocktail with management team once a week. Overall service is relaxed. Waiter removed my plate but left used knife and fork for my next dish :) I think it describes the atmosphere there at its best. I don’t think we will come again. We didn’t understand the concept. They claim to create moments but we didn’t feel it.

It was one of the best experiences I've had in my life. Especially Shadwa who was very kind, attentive, receptive, polite and always available to help us, making our stay at the resort even more pleasant.

We were recommended Movenpick from friends who had previously spent their honeymoon there. After seeing the photos and videos of their experience it was an easy decision for us. Upon arrival we were greeted warmly from all of the lovely staff. We feel so lucky to have been assigned Donia as our island host. She made the experience so effortless for us and was accommodating to our every need. The resort itself is picture perfect, even amazing us still to the last day. Everything from the villa, the quality of the food, the cleanliness of the entire island and the beautiful staff made our experience all so memorable. We could not have imagined our honeymoon to be such a beautiful experience, and if we are lucky enough to travel back to the Maldives, going back to Movenpick will be an extremely easy choice for us.

After a lot of searching for the perfect resort to stay in, we definitely made the right choice in choosing Mövenpick. The resort is absolutely incredible with beautiful beaches and the villa was so spacious and clean. Lots of activities to do and highly recommend the Turtle Snorkelling and Dolphin experience! The food and drink was to die for and so much to choose from each night and in the day. All the staff on the island were so friendly and a special thanks to: Shadwa - our butler who was amazing from start to finish on our trip! So helpful and always responded quickly. Shiham - was our waiter most nights and his service was perfect! He remembered our favourite drinks and always had them ready for us. DJ Sanjeewaj - such a great DJ! He played all the songs to make you dance the night away. Jo & Roy - the professional dancers and wow can they dance! Had so much fun learning the moves from them and they made every night such fun along with DJ Sanjeewaj. The Dive Centre staff - so friendly and very knowledgeable. The massages were the best I had ever had - so relaxing and having them done over the sea felt like I was in heaven. We miss all the staff already! It was honestly the best holiday we have ever had and we will definitely be going back! Thank you again Mövenpick!! Jess & Tom x
