Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu, Maldives

This is the fourth island in the Maldives that we have been lucky enough to visit. They have all had something special. We stayed in one of the beach lagoon villas. It is so beautiful particularly on this side and the sea is very tranquil compared to the other side. Our little hut was amongst the greenery and we had our own private little walkway and sunbed at the end looking onto the beautiful white sand and sea. It was so peaceful and private. We loved the sunset bar on the beach and enjoyed all the delicious foods in the restaurant. We found a good variety of dishes some which were prepared on the grill in front of you. The staff were all amazing and couldn't do enough for us. My husband was unwell while we were there and one of the managers suggested we go to the on site Doctor who was very kind and gave us some medication. There was some entertainment a few evenings. We enjoyed the singer on the beach bar and other bar area. It was nice to find out about the island Eco programme and turtle hospital. I joined the what's app group and got a message one evening to say the turtles were about to hatch. The only thing for us was the snorkeling. The drop off is quite far out not as close as other islands we have visited and we didn't see as many fish and reef sharks as we have before. If we visited again we would probably go out on a boat trip for the snorkeling. I would definitely consider returning to this island and would recommend it.

We stayed during our honeymoon in this beautiful resort and enjoyed every second of it. The island is very eco-friendly, has lots of small details done with love and is the perfect place to relax and recharge batteries. It is a barefoot island, so you can also walk everywhere without any shoes if you like. We stayed the first nights in a beach villa with direct access to the sea, for us it was our own Robinson Crusoe villa and each time we got out of our bungalow we were rewarded with a magnificent view with turquoise water and an endless white sand beach. We had a great roomboy who cam twice a day and cleaned everything, brought fresh towles and was always helpful when we needed something. The beach villas are equipped with outside toilet and shower, whereas the bathroom sink was inside with two drawers proving enough space for clothing as well as a wardrobe. If you book the regular beach villa you should just be aware that it is on the windy side of the island, we quite enjoyed it as it was great for the high temperatures and we had the snorkeling spots directly before our villa. We then got upgraded to a Lagoon villa with direct water access and the view is just stunning. We had the best roomboy with Binayak who introduced himself, explained how everything worked, came twice a day and was super helpful with everything and always very polite. We really liked his friendly attitude, always smiling and greeting us, giving us information where to see dolphins or turtles and always being highly motivated. For christmas he decorated our villa, brought cookies and sweets and made us feel at home. He also did some nice decorations on our bed linings with palm tree leaves. He is also a professional videographer and shooted some videos with our smartphones for us so we have an everlasting memory from this dream vacation and the videos were stunning,he has a real talent for it. We were more than happy to have him as our roomboy. Our Lagoon Villa was very clean with our own pool and direct sea access. Fresh towles and cleaning was done twice a day leading to a perfect atomosphere. The only downsides I would like to mention is that the Lagoon Villas have inside bathrooms without the possibility of opening windows. You have a great view to the ocean but in terms of privacy you need to keep the roller blinds down so your neighbors cannot watch you. Thus the AC is located over the bathroom leading to condensed water drops falling from the ceiling. Therefore we liked the outside bathroom in our beach villa a bit more. In general we had a great stay with lots of wonderful experiences like a dinner at the beach, celebrating christmas, experiencing cinema under the stars, massages at the spa and amazing food with live cooking (shoutout to the cooks in the Cowrie restaurant which did an amazing job and prepared excellenct dishes with fresh ingredients and a wide variety of tropical fruits. Just to mention a few: for breakfast was a live station for omlette, scrambled egg etc. and also for crepes, waffles, french toast and pancakes. In the evening they had changing menus, even utilizing a tradition Indian Tandoori oven for Naan or other kind of dishes like Chicken Tikka etc. A salad bar where the cooked chopped all of your favouriteingredients with the dressing of your choice made it the perfect buffet for us.) If I had to name something which could be improved it would be that the sandbags to secure the beach could be better implemented as they being visible does not give you the full Maledives experience. Thus the palm thatch roofs of some villas could be maintained a bit more (some had bare areas) in terms of a better overall picture. But these are really only small things and I would still recommend the resort. Last but not least, we also want to highlight the great support of Matheena which helped us with any requests and made sure we had an amazing time.

I was here with my family and this is the best place in the whole wide world! All the staff here are very polite, kind, helpful, and always ready to help! I would especially like to mention an employee at the restaurant named SHIRFAN: he is very kind, cheerful, always does everything with a smile and in a good mood! He definitely needs to raise his salary here to a new level! The food here is very tasty, it doesn't seem to be anything special, but you're still full to the brim! The ocean here is very clear, the water is warm, the beach is beautiful, the jungle is beautiful and much more! I will definitely come back here again!

It was an amazing vacation in this beautiful hotel! We lived in the villa 49 with great view. Very comfortable. Nice service! Everyone is welcoming and really client oriented. Especially I’d like to mention the Ajith who works in main bar. Thank you for our perfect vacation! Recommend hotel for couples who is looking for peace and nice atmosphere.

We had an exceptional experience and a beautiful birthday decoration from Shaik, which made our stay even more memorable! I was really moved—thank you so much for the thoughtful surprise, Shaik!
