Lovely beach and snorkelling opportunities. Friendly staff but could do with better training (not consistent). Very child friendly. Decor quite dated but kept generally clean. Food quality requires improvement for 5-star rating (first time in Maldives so cannot say if this is resort-specific but don't expect Dubai 5-star hotel food).

Absolutely amazing, you need to stay in an overwater sunset villa w/ pool, this gets you exclusive club access basically to yourself and many other added benefits/perks and you must do all inclusive or the Grand all inclusive. Only complaint is my wife is the pickiest eater you'll meet so it took some adjustment to find meals she liked (even from the kids menu) but all restaurants were super accommodating in customizing her meal to anything she wanted and by day 2 we had her eating like a king.

We loved the property, we loved how friendly, helpful and nice the staff was. They took care of our villa like it was their own home and you never see this anywhere. What I didn't like was that they need to set up long chairs for the family villas, we requested and they set it up for us but we didn't realize we could request it until the last two days.

We definitely enjoyed our stay at the resort. It was very peaceful and beautiful. Everyone was welcoming and polite. Well organized and neat. The things I would suggest they improve on is their restaurant options, different food options each day, for those with longer stay-a trip to explore the city, and more nightlife/activities. Overall, it was an amazing experience and will definitely be coming back.

We had an amazing time at Centara Grand. The place is absolutely beautiful and the snorkeling straight out of the water villas is amazing. Food is super nice as well and the buffet restaurant was always varied so it never felt samey. All the staff was super friendly but we would like to thank in special Monir who would do our room and every day would leave a beautiful drawing made with sand or other natural materials on our villa floor.

We planned this to be our trip of a lifetime and it certainly lived up to the hype. Rooms are beautiful and private. Amanullah took care of us, bringing us buckets of ice, restocking the mini bar, cleaning the room, and leaving sweet touches daily. The ocean is teeming with life just steps from the door. We took several excursions to fish annd see whale sharks, both hugely successful, and snorkeled for hours along the house reef around the atoll. Food was impeccable and had a large variety. Hospitality everywhere-from food service to reception to spa staff-was incredible. We couldn’t have asked for a better vacation. Highly highly recommend.
