The arrival and picking from the Male to the resort was well planned and seamless, we very much appreciate their attention of the details from the staff meeting us at the Male international arrival hall, taking us to the domestic terminal and waiting in the lounge and the flight to the kooddoo and the resort.
Beautiful rooms on the water, immaculate scenery, delicious foods and great service staffs. Truly an experience of a life time!

My husband and I booked and rebooked this vacation several times before we were actually able to go. It was worth the wait! The staff was very responsive to our change of dates and requests as we were booking. I had mentioned early in the booking process that we would like a villa as close to the end of the walk as possible and arrived to find we were in the villa second from the end. All of the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Staff coordinated with the hotels we stayed with before and after our arrival, which made the whole thing effortless. It was so nice to arrive and have someone waiting for you. We never even had to stop and think about where we needed to go. We bought our vacation through Travelzoo and the discounted activities/excursions offered through Travelzoo were different than the ones typically offered through the resort. The resort honored Travelzoo's discounts with the provided voucher. You can tell they work hard to provide excellent customer service. The resort is less than a 1 minute golf cart ride from the hotel, though other than the sound of the rare plane landing and taking off, you would never know you were airport was there. The grounds are beautifully kept. We stayed in an over the water sunset villa with a pool and loved it. The room was large and bed comfy. The mini bar was restocked daily. Internet connection was good throughout the resort. The sunset view was unobstructed and beautiful. Snorkeling right off of our deck was amazing when we were able to get in the water. We saw so many types of fish, sharks, and turtles both from our deck and when snorkeling. Unfortunately, it was quite windy on most days so we weren't able to jet ski, kayak, or stand up paddle board. The pool was fresh water, and we were happy we selected a villa with a pool. We only ate at the buffet though there is an Italian restaurant as well. The buffet had such a large and delicious variety of food that we never felt the need to go to the restaurant. We booked a couples massage. As someone who has had hundreds of massages, I can honestly say it was excellent. I also had a facial which I enjoyed. I felt the prices for the spa treatments were reasonably priced. We really enjoyed the adults only atmosphere. Even though there were no children, it was not a party atmosphere. I would highly recommend coming here if you are looking to relax in a beautiful location with good food, great service, and no children.

I'm stunned that we showed up to this resort and everything looked exactly like the photos. Whenever you Google "the Maldives" this must be the resort that pops up in photos. Everything has been great so far. The staff is very accommodating and courteous. The water is amazing. The villa is well-situated on the water. The infinity pool and direct access to the Indian Ocean is unmatched! We will certainly return if we can afford to. I don't want to leave now!

The hotel has many rules upon which they are very inflexible. The resort puts in lots of little hidden fees and does not disclose everything clearly. Transfers to the island are not as promised. Wine offering is terrible. Food is varied but not great quality from our perspective. Once on the facility, you must utilize an app to find out activities, look at the menu, etc. That said, the app is inaccurate and vague. In addition, activities require a personal assistant to get them done rather with, again, a lot of unnecessary footwork to make anything happen. Also, the private pools are really cold so nobody wanted to use them.

Not my first trip to the Maldives but my first in an overwater bungalow. If you’re going to come all the way over to the Maldives, an over water bungalow is a must. Pay the extra money. You will never remember the cost and you will always remember the experience. The MERCURE team is fabulous. First class service. Great amenities.
Staff went above and beyond, upgrading us to a villa with a pool at no extra cost since we’d stayed here before and we’re celebrating retirement. Amenities seem to be a little less than previous visit, but still really great (ie change in vouchers for discount amount of spa, in-room minibar scaled back). Amazing staff eager to accommodate wants/needs.

Overall a very good experience at the resort. However, the weather was horrible the 5 days we stayed with a lot of rain, very high winds, and very rough seas. This caused red flag conditions which prevented us from doing any water activities. It was a huge disappointment for our group. Obviously the resort cannot control the weather, but beware that the weather here can be nasty and last for days.

Overall we enjoyed our stay. We attempted to go in April but storms in Dubai prevented us so we came in Aug when the weather was going to be wet.
The resort is nice, rooms a bit dated but comfortable. The staff were friendly and very attentive.
Due to winds there was very limited water sports. The buffet food was consistently good. There is always room for improvement but we found we had plenty of options and good variety from one day to the next.
The only downside was even though we went on an all inclusive package there were additional charges for most things including some meal options.

The resort is just a couple of minutes from the airport. I think it is fairly small but I have nothing to compare with. There were no kids when we were there which was nice. The resort would have more upbeat vibe in the better weather.
The reason we wouldn’t go back is simply because it is three flights through 9 time zones to get there so a lot of travel time and there are other interesting places to visit.

We are having such a wonderful time. We are grateful for Travelzoo's amazing voucher program. We got to experience paradise. We have traveled to many resorts such as Jamaica, Fiji, Costa Rica, Boracay, Thailand, Bali, Paris, Germany, Netherlands, and Dubai. By far, this is the best accommodation. Mercure Koodoo treated us like royalty. We can't express our gratitude enough in making our 20th anniversary very special. The all inclusive to all drinks including alcohol topped our expectations. This includes all meals, mini bar with alcohol and soft drinks, snacks, and bucket of beer daily. Furthermore, the transfer from Male airport to Koodoo was included which would have cost $800 for both of us. By, the way, this is an adult only resort. Excellent value. Every angle within 360 degrees is photogenic. The background looks like backdrop. We were able to see so much varieties of fish around our bungalow and through the glass bottom floor. I highly recommend using Travelzoo for quality service.
With a grateful heart.

We were warmly greeted on our arrival to Mercure Resort, about 350 miles south of Malè.
The resort is so pretty and peaceful and our water villa was beautiful.
We are not great at doing nothing on vacation but it seemed to occur quickly and easily for us in this tropical paradise.
The food was wonderful and the Vista al a carte restaurant provided some excellent dishes in a boutique restaurant over the water.
Mercure Kooddoo is a fabulous place to relax, unwind and reconnect.
We loved our stay here and are so thankful to all of the staff for their warm and attentive hospitality.

Nestled amidst the azure waters of the Maldives, The Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort is a haven of tranquility and beauty. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality from the staff, making us feel truly welcomed and at home.
One of the standout features of this resort is undoubtedly its location. Situated in the heart of the Maldives, surrounded by pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters, it offers a sense of serenity and seclusion that is unmatched. Whether lounging on the beach or exploring the vibrant marine life through snorkeling or diving, every moment spent here is a testament to the natural splendor of the Maldives.
Speaking of diving, our experiences were made truly memorable by the fantastic team at the dive center, especially Kochey and Shard. Their expertise and enthusiasm added an extra layer of excitement to our underwater adventures, making each excursion unforgettable.
And let's talk about the food – simply outstanding! From sumptuous seafood delicacies to international cuisine, every meal was a culinary delight. The restaurant staff went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was exceptional, even making my birthday celebrations truly special with their thoughtful gestures.
As for the accommodations, they were nothing short of a dream. The rooms, meticulously designed and impeccably maintained, provided the perfect sanctuary after a day of exploration. Every detail was carefully curated, ensuring maximum comfort and luxury throughout our stay.
What truly sets The Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort apart, however, is not just its stunning setting or luxurious amenities, but the genuine warmth and hospitality of its staff. From booking our stay to bid farewell, the entire process was seamless, thanks to the efficient communication with the staff.
My husband and I loved every second spent at the resort. We are looking forward to booking another trip in the future!
