Exquisite Culinary Journey

The food at Centara Grand was above average, especially the Thai restaurant which stood out due to the great service and really good dishes prepared by the chef. Each night, we enjoyed a variety of buffet options at the Reef, including freshly made eggs and a fantastic selection of Maldivian specialties. Dining here was a celebration of flavors that exceeded our expectations.

Heavenly Spa Experience

The Centara Spa offered a truly relaxing environment, where I indulged in a heavenly massage that melted away all the stress. The therapists were incredibly skilled, and the ambiance made each treatment feel luxurious. I left feeling rejuvenated and pampered beyond belief.

Fun for All Ages

Traveling with my family, I was pleasantly surprised by the Kids Club. My children had a blast with activities that kept them engaged and entertained, from a ball pit to LEGO and crafts. It provided us adults some much-needed relaxation time, knowing they were in good hands.

Luxurious Water Villa

Staying in a Deluxe Water Villa was a dream come true! The spacious room featured stunning views of the lagoon, and I loved stepping straight down into the water for snorkeling. The amenities were great, featuring a comfy bed, a large bathroom with a freestanding tub, and elegant decor that made our stay lovely.

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.

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.
