Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu, Maldives

Just had 2 weeks here on Coco palm, our second visit. The positives are that the island is very beautiful and the turquoise sea and reef are exceptional. The staff are also amazing and work so hard. We had a beach front villa same as last time but our villa was definitely in need of a refurbishment. But in a great spot No 43. I have an issue the same as last time that you have to pay to drink the alcohol from the fridge in your room. There is no need for this as we are all inclusive and it just feels like an extra tax. Other islands don’t do this! The bar on the beach 7 years ago had bar snacks that included crisis/coconut/peanuts. Sadly this time only peanuts. Also only 1 beer to drink for the entire 2 weeks (Carlsberg) which becomes boring very quickly. Lots of guests were moaning about this. Again other resorts have more choice. Lion, Tiger etc. You can order food at lunchtime in the conch bar and you get a discount if you are all inclusive. Again it used to be 25 dollars each 7 years ago and now only 15 dollars each. It’s very confusing and to be honest the staff don’t understand it either. The evening restaurant was sadly hit and miss for us, some evenings the food was superb and then other evenings there didn’t seem to be much choice. Thankfully the salad bar and the pasta station is always there. Last but not least the evening entertainment was virtually non existent. There was on one occasion a Maldives night and the dancers were fantastic. But every other night I’m sorry to say there was an awful singer which was so bad that people were laughing a bit about it….. So finely I guess it’s to say that it could be better… But we did have a nice time and thank you to all the staff.

Absolutely the best vacation ever. Staff were wonderful and we didn't wear shoes for the whole two weeks. Everything was wonderful. The staff were very environmentally aware and the knowledge of wildlife and conservation was very impressive. We will be back

Thank you all for everything ! Special mention to wonderful chef Prabhat & Saurav without their out of the way efforts to prepare delicious Indian dishes the stay would not have been as amazing as it was. As we say what a vacation without a good food?😃Thank you Me. Naswan aka Nice one for making us forget not so good long waiting time for seaplane onboarding. Binayak you can actually think on starting a nice photo service in coco palm dhuni . Thank you 🙏🏻

An amazing holiday with exceptional service from the friendly, caring and professional team at Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu. The island is beautiful, peaceful and carefully and thoughtfully maintained to be as natural as possible with sustainability always in mind. Hajiba met us with the warmest of welcomes and looked after us throughout our stay. All the staff take such great care of guests each and everyday. In the restaurant the hostesses were always delightfully welcoming and the food was incredible. Saurav, Namal, Shirpan took especial care of us and the whole team is wonderful. Rosie the Marine Educator is an asset to the resort as is the dive team led by Harsha. They were always so interesting and happy to talk and share their knowledge and tips. We loved snorkelling on the house reef and seeing dolphins, rays and sharks swim past from the lagoon villa. We also went on the Manta trip which was amazing. We were delighted to be able to return for this second visit and hope to do so again soon.

We spent 8 nights here and had the most incredible time. This was a special holiday for us to celebrate our Ruby Wedding Anniversary and it was everything we hoped it would be, and more. Our deluxe beach villa was perfect, we loved absolutely everything about it. All the staff we encountered were friendly, kind, helpful and courteous. The catering staff went out of their way to make sure there were vegan options for me, and always asked if I knew what was on offer or wanted anything cooked specially. The meal I had at the cornus restaurant on our anniversary, was outstanding. We enjoyed the sunset cruise, dolphin cruise, the Maldivian evening on the beach as well as the entertainment/talks in the evening at the conch bar. Hari our housekeeper was fantastic at keeping our room lovely and tidy as well as leaving beautiful decorations on our bed for our anniversary and our last day. The island will always have a special place in our hearts and we hope to return one day.
