Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu, Maldives

Amazing experience for my first time in Maldives . Atmosphere is very relaxing atmosphere, clean and spacious rooms, very attentive but at the same time very discreet staff.

Wonderful conclusion to a fantastic holiday. Staff, service and food were all outstanding. Weather was perfect. Great destination to relax. Happy memories. Underestimated power of sun and need to take tropical mosquito spay with high deet content.

A chilled authentic island. This island offers a relaxing atmosphere made by the people! We stayed in a beach villa opposite the lagoon villas with direct access to a lovely beach and blue sea. Thank you to Noaman for looking after us. The food was good, great service by Namal and thanks to the egg station man who made me special omelettes every day! The marine life was not as varied as other places we’ve been but this didn’t detract from a great experience. We got to see some turtles hatching which was a once in a lifetime experience and we were humbled by the turtle hospital and all the work they do to give injured turtles a chance to go back to the wild. The island is clean, easy to get around and we got into a slow rhythm enjoying everything this beautiful island has to offer. The conch bar sunset was a must, the bar staff were attentive, shout out to Yasour who looked after us each day and evening! The staff are friendly, warm and so helpful! I forgot my kindle charger and they charged it for me each day!! Coco palm is a beautiful place, thank you for amazing memories!

The whole Coco palm dhuni experience was beyond amazing. This place is paradise and run beautifully by genuinely lovely people. All the staff have a smile for you and make you feel special. Loved the seaplane experience and seeing the stunning reefs from the air. Such a lovely welcome from the staff. Raazi showed us our beautiful beach villa, right on the edge of the ocean where we often saw eagle rays, sharks and colourful fish float past. He continued to check in on us throughout our stay and organised a fabulous dinner on the beach for our last night. Housekeeping is immaculate here we were looked after by the gorgeous Praytesh. Food we found to be absolutely delicious. Such a range of cuisines and variety of food. All the staff in the restaurant and bars are friendly and attentive. Shout out to Roji, Shirfan, Namal and Shardan in particular. Cocktails at the Beach bar whilst watching the sunset is just a wonderful experience in itself! The house reef is abundant with fish and we met Wilson the turtle more than once! You must also visit the turtle hospital, great to see conservation is an important part of the island. Rosie is the marine educator here and loved listening to her talk about the wildlife and be privy to a turtle nest hatching! Rosie also led our manta ray snorkelling trip and found us an elegant young female who kindly swam right under us. All the trips felt exclusive. Shout out too to Zaaid who made sure not only we saw plenty but also shared his amazing videos! Honestly everyone needs to experience this place. Can totally see why so many people have returned multiple times. Hopefully that will be us too!

This was our 5th visit to Coco palm DK and was every bit as good as our previous visits Arrived Male met by CPDK rep, who booked us onto the seaplane, got us a taxi to the seaplane terminal where we were met by someone else from CPDK who showed us to the lounge to wait on our seaplane On arrival at the island, we were met by some of the Coco palm team, then to our room deluxe sunrise villa No 75. The staff are amazing, especially in the restaurant. I have a lot of dietary requirements, and they went out the way to make sure I had always something to eat. Room was cleaned daily by our roomboy. The beach and plunge pool were cleared every morning The food in the restaurant was always hot and well presented. My husband thought this year they had less choice of food than other visits but still managed to get something to eat. The banana ice cream is amazing The Porter (luggage guy) is one of the nicest guys we've had the pleasure of meeting and has worked on the island for 26 years (can't remember his name) Would we return for a 6th visit...YES
