The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Really good Variety

During my stay, I was impressed by the dining options available. The Reef Buffet offered amazing choices during breakfast and dinner, with freshly made dishes such as Maldivian Mas Huni and a variety of international cuisines. Special food events like the BBQ and Seafood Buffet made every meal a good experience.

Relaxing Spa Experience

I treated myself to the Maldivan massage during my visit, and it was heavenly. The serenity of the spa combined with the skilled therapists provided a two-hour pampering session that left me feeling rejuvenated. I couldn't resist booking another session before heading home!

Stunning Overwater Villa

Staying in the overwater sunset villa was one of the highlights of my trip. The villa was clean, spacious, and offered amazing views. Simply stepping out onto the deck to snorkel in the clear waters was an lovely experience.

Thrilling Water Sports

I had a blast trying out various water sports during my stay. The staff at the water sports center were not only knowledgeable but also prioritized safety, which made for an enjoyable experience. My guide for the whale shark snorkeling was fantastic, ensuring we had a great time, even if we didn’t spot a whale shark.

The resort has amazing snorkeling and a beautiful house reef, which I absolutely loved. We found the dining options to be somewhat limited, especially given the price we paid, and I had high expectations for a romantic experience on our honeymoon that didn't quite materialize. Nonetheless, the staff were genuinely nice and kept the villa pristine. Additionally, the location had some issues with boat noises, which detracted from the overall relaxing atmosphere.

We had a truly memorable honeymoon at Centara Grand Maldives, which is set on a beautiful island with stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. Our room was maintained impeccably, and the staff were kind and attentive. However, the dining options were somewhat limited, particularly for European cuisine, and our villa's location near a service area was not ideal. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, but there are a few areas that could use improvement.
