Beautiful place with potential, but service needs work

The resort is absolutely stunning, and big thanks to Morkey—he truly went above and beyond!

That said, a few things did take away from the experience. The food options were repetitive across the restaurants, and my smart toothbrush went missing during the stay—with no luck finding it. It took several follow-ups to get it sorted, and I felt the management lacked experience in handling it. Also, both check-in and check-out dragged on for over 30 minutes, which felt a bit much for a place like this.
Beautiful place with potential, but service needs work. Many other Maldives resorts offer much better, and this one didn’t meet the mark.

We have been to the Maldives multiple times; this has been the best family resort we have stayed in, brand new. Let me start with Monette , who has been incredible in curating our days and activities. The food was excellent and our favorite restaurant was the gallery, JK, Aru, Rambu, chef Hussain were great at taking care of us and our kids picky food requirement, prepare to gain weight with the food . Shout out to Atuf who took us on the best boat trip, led by captain Ali, we managed to catch 19 fish on that day, the crew made this trip a lot of fun for the family.
The highlight was the water park and the activities our kids got to choose from, never a dull day and we spent a week.
We hopefully will return to this resort, it ticks all the boxes and is conveniently 30 boat ride away from the airport.

I recently had the great privilege of staying at Centara Grand Lagoon Maldives and the experience was truly unforgettable. Since the time of my arrival, the staff members made me feel embraced and accommodated.
Big thanks to Neehal and Don of Coco Drift, they were wonderful and so nice, the time out at sea was beyond magical. It was either a relaxing time or a thrilling experience, but they promoted the pleasure and safety same with a cheerful smile.
Restaurants here were also a much-liked aspect with the help of Sai at Bluefin. His mind and customer care with his suggestions were outstanding. The seafood was fresh and they were beautifully presented and went well with the beautiful settings over sea.
I would also like to give an honor to Zahaa, the hotel of The Gallery, who was very polite and the hospitality was considerate. Her amicable attitude and smooth service made breakfast and dinner a smooth and pleasant experience daily.
Centara Grand Lagoon is a great combination of luxury, comfort and authentic hospitality, which is enhanced by great team members such as Neehal, Don, Sai and Zahaa. It is highly advisable to any person who wants to have a memorable Maldives experience.

We had the most amazing stay at Centara Grand Lagoon Maldives. Everything was seamless from the start as Joy and Nut made our transfer and arrival effortless. Monette was so kind and helpful and always checked in on us to make sure we were comfortable. Ismail was wonderful at the lounge and made us feel so welcome. Amjey was incredible at the buffet and always attentive to our needs. Semko at the kids club went above and beyond to keep our nieces and nephews entertained every single day and they absolutely loved their time with him. Everyone was so kind, accommodating, and made our trip unforgettable. Highly recommend and we cannot wait to come back soon.
