Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu, Maldives

Natural surroundings as well as the room, services and food were all good. Seaplane transfer was well organized though the return flight to Male was very early so had to wait for hours at the airport but I think this is the case for most of the resorts travelled to by seaplane transfer.

4th time visiting and won't be the last. Absolutely adore this island, everything seems a labour of love from the the staff. The house reef is struggling, though the fish are plentiful. We also saw manta rays near the hotel and felt that the trip was respectful. It's a quiet island and a few families had children but this is mainly a couple or solo visit island.

We had a wonderful stay at this resort. It was very laidback and quiet, our villa was really lovely, very clean and very private, screened from our neighbours by tropical foliage. The resort was very quiet with only the sound of birds. There was no constant noise from jetskis or watersports, although these were available if required. Guests can experience a barefoot feeling, with shoes not required in the restaurant. Excellent food. Wonderful friendly and helpful staff. Snorkels and masks are available free of charge. There is a dive centre and a spa. Excellent choice of food. We were lucky enough to see turtles hatching from their nest one night which was an amazing experience. Absolute paradise.

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
