From the very start being greeted when you land, to the kind and top notch service at the Turquoise for their great breakfast (shout out to Erma, Navin, Nasheeth), to the kind and engaging duo (Torsa and her partner) at the kids club letting our kids have a blast and all around the entire beautifully kept resort, the service was exceptional. Room was just like how’d we picture it and even the gym was brand new and had all the equipment you’d ever need! To top it all off, from the beginning having Ali guide us through the check in and be there for us through our whole 6 day trip was so amazing to have. Honestly too convenient being able to contact him whenever we needed but it made our stay there that much more exceptional. Thank you all for creating such a magical memory for our family! Read less

We spent our honeymoon at Le Méridien and honestly couldn’t have made a better choice.

We spent our honeymoon at Le Méridien and honestly couldn’t have made a better choice. My husband and I prefer calm, peaceful holidays, so we booked a Lagoon Villa for the privacy—and it was exactly what we hoped for. The villa was beautiful and well-equipped, and the housekeeping team kept everything spotless without us ever needing to ask. What really made the stay special, though, was the service. Every single request we had was handled quickly and with genuine care. A big thank you to Maadh, our concierge, who went above and beyond the entire time. He was always available, super professional, and made sure everything ran smoothly for us. The food and beverage experience was another highlight—consistently perfect from start to finish. We especially enjoyed our dinners at Turquoise, Velaa, and Riviera; each offered something special and delicious. At one point, my husband caught a mild flu from the AC and then got sunburned on top of that—but the in-house doctor took great care of him, and he was already feeling better the next day. We’re really grateful to the whole team at the resort for making our honeymoon so memorable. Thank you for everything! Read less

eat service. Excellent food. Felt welcomed since we came out from Male airport. There's a lounge waiting for the seaplane. Once we landed on Le Meridien. Ali helped us all the way, check-in, introduction, booking restaurants and buggy. Whenever we have questions, we reached for him. He's been very helpful. The food is Delicious. Every dish is dedicated cooked and plating. I didn't find anything I don't like. Service is so good. Staff says hello and be there whenever you need them. I'm also lucky to see dolphins. The weather is unpredictable as it's rainy season. But it's very beautiful. Read less

We had been in a overwater with pool, excellent. All the persons very kind, helpfull and attentious. Very clean inside and outside. Beautifull gardens. The meals are all very good and appreciate variety. The buggys are a good help to go and back in the resort. Maybe the tours a little expensive. Read less
