We definitely enjoyed our stay at the resort. It was very peaceful and beautiful. Everyone was welcoming and polite. Well organized and neat. The things I would suggest they improve on is their restaurant options, different food options each day, for those with longer stay-a trip to explore the city, and more nightlife/activities. Overall, it was an amazing experience and will definitely be coming back.

We planned this to be our trip of a lifetime and it certainly lived up to the hype. Rooms are beautiful and private. Amanullah took care of us, bringing us buckets of ice, restocking the mini bar, cleaning the room, and leaving sweet touches daily. The ocean is teeming with life just steps from the door. We took several excursions to fish annd see whale sharks, both hugely successful, and snorkeled for hours along the house reef around the atoll. Food was impeccable and had a large variety. Hospitality everywhere-from food service to reception to spa staff-was incredible. We couldn’t have asked for a better vacation. Highly highly recommend.

We would just like to say a whole hearted thank you to all the team at Centara Grand for making our stay the most magical and memorable! This was our second visit after being there 8 years ago - we were so excited to return to our favourite place! The level of service was just as amazing as the first time and they were so accommodating in every way. A special shout out to Nabeel who made sure our stay was a smooth and enjoyable as possible and was always on hand with any queries we had. Islam our room cleaner also did a fantastic job and was extremely friendly. We got engaged the second night of our stay with a fantastic beach dinner and now we have memories for life. We can't wait to return in the not so distant future! Thanks so much again!

We had an amazing time at Centara Grand. The place is absolutely beautiful and the snorkeling straight out of the water villas is amazing. Food is super nice as well and the buffet restaurant was always varied so it never felt samey. All the staff was super friendly but we would like to thank in special Monir who would do our room and every day would leave a beautiful drawing made with sand or other natural materials on our villa floor.

Our stay at the Centara Grand was for our honeymoon and it couldn’t have went any better. From the staff, to waking up with the beautiful ocean view, we will cherish our memories. In our Deluxe Ocean view villa, we were left with beautiful surprises from Afsal in our room. He was a great help and always was available if we needed something. We dined often at the Azzuri Mare restaurant and the staff there was amazing. Sunny and chef Justin were so kind and made sure the food was exactly how we wanted it. We also had Tepenyaki one night and it was a great experience. The chef made it an entertaining experience for all those who ate there. The Reef restaurant had a plethora of food from different cuisines so there was something for everybody to enjoy. We really enjoyed trying other dishes! The staff even set up the Dreams cinema for myself and wife since we were not able to make the cinema night, and wow what a night to remember. I highly recommend staying at the Centara Grand resort for anybody looking to visit the Maldives and hope to return shortly!
