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.

While the buffet and a la carte options at the restaurants were clean and nice, the food variety lacked a good amount of European dishes, which was disappointing given the all-inclusive pricing.

Our stay at the resort was absolutely magical! From the moment we arrived, everything was taken care of, and we felt pampered throughout our time there. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic experience, and the accommodations were comfortable and clean. The location was stunning, with easy access to the beach for snorkeling and other activities. On the downside, we wished there were a few more activities geared towards teenagers. Nevertheless, it was a week of unforgettable luxury and relaxation.

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.

Our stay at Centara Grand was absolutely magical! The service exceeded our expectations, especially during challenging times, making us feel like royalty. The location was breathtaking, with beautiful coral right beneath our villa, and the food was truly exceptional.
