Stayed 6 nights at the Machchafushi resort. An amazing experience overall. Great location with friendly and helpful staff. Enjoyed the stay and food. The room was spotless and the minibar daily replenished. Siva and Shafiq at the bar made some excellent mocktails and Yuvi explained everything to us on arrival. Credits to Nasru from house keeping . An overall great experience. Very unique given we had never stayed before on an over the water villa.

The hotel is very nice and the staff is very attentive: Starting from the dive base team (Stefania, Ivan and Sven), over Anish (fitness center) to Masoud, who bakes his wonderful Naan bread and serves it to each table individually. We enjoyed a relaxing holiday in a beautiful part of the south Ari atoll.

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.
