We’ve just returned from a 10-day holiday at Kuredu Resort in the Maldives, and it was everything we could have hoped for and more! From the moment we arrived by seaplane, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome and at ease. The island was absolutely immaculate throughout our entire stay. The food and drinks were exceptional, with every meal being a highlight. While the stunning scenery speaks for itself, it was the staff who truly made this holiday unforgettable. A special mention goes to Mohammed Hassan at the Sangu Restaurant — he is an absolute credit to the resort and played a big part in making our stay special. Read less

We travelled as a family with our two children aged 11 and 9. Before travelling I was worried if the hotel would be suitable for us as a family and if there would be enough for us all to do - I shouldn’t have worried! The hotel is ideal for all groups with dedicated areas for adults only but facilities for families too. The kids made friends in the pool and enjoyed kids club where they did everything from coconut painting, henna tattoos, cupcake decorating and gardening. Menuka and her team of Diveena, Suju, Seliy and Sita couldn’t have done more to make the kids time there more enjoyable. They were cheery and friendly to the kids and us and really made them feel welcome. We felt happy leaving them in their care as we knew they’d be well looked after and would enjoy the activities. The kids also enjoyed diving and the Prodivers team were excellent and very patient with the kids. They had a brilliant time in the house reef looking turtles in the eye and even seeing an octopus! There was a games room and pool table, we did a beach clean and the kids even went to the spa which they loved! The house reef is ideal to just walk in and snorkel and they loved seeing turtles, rays, colourful fish and black tipped sharks. My favourite place was the jetty where the water was so clear you could see into the water and at night it was brilliant as the water is lit up and you could see nurse sharks and grey reef sharks too! We did hand fishing, snorkelling and BBQ lunch trip which was fantastic and we all enjoyed eating our catch which was beautifully prepared. The crew on the boat were so kind and friendly and the captain showed the kids how he was steering and navigating the boat. The absolute highlight was the unexpected sighting of a whale shark which came right up to the boat! The crew were so excited and it was a lucky moment! We also did the Jungle Dinner one evening which was exceptional. It was just the four of us in a beautiful setting in the trees with two chefs and a waiter. The team were so proud to share their local dishes which were beautifully prepared and so tasty! We got so much food but it was all so delicious, we left completely full! I can’t recommend this meal highly enough. We stayed in a Jacuzzi Beach Villa which had enough space for us all with a huge king bed and two singles. The outdoor bathroom was amazing, especially the shower. Our housekeeper Raj was excellent and always so friendly and keen to hear about our day. He made the kids laugh with his towel animals every day and was so helpful. A real credit to the staff. We were very lucky and got upgraded for our final three nights to a private pool villa and wow!! The room was just beautiful, a really luxurious experience! The room was huge with outside seating and a ginormous pool just for us, we loved it! I can’t recommend the island enough, it truly is paradise and I miss walking around in the powdery sand. Please don’t pack shoes, I totally over packed there! Save room for sun cream instead! Read less

Apart from the open bathroom and lizards we enjoyed our stay..we as a family are scared from those lizards and we didn't know they are part of the resort nature.
