  An awesome stay at Centara Grand Island Resort, Maldives

  Starting from the welcome at the airport it's sweet. Ms Love welcomed us and our two daughters, she was so sweet and full of love assisted us to Seaplane checkin. We reached the island and it was very beautiful and mesmerizing. Thanks to Ms. Tan (House Keeper) for the bed decoration creatively done for kids bed and our beds, especially the towels were folded like crabs which kids loved. The Reef restaurant(Buffet) has covered big varieties of menu to choose from specially the Indian corner which once again has choices for vegetarians and Non-Vegetarians separately. The staffs were very kind and attentive, volunteered to reached out towards us asking what we need. Azu, Sherry, Mitchel were very sweet to my daughters and Chef Jun, Liton, Pramod checked on us periodically during our dining. The Thai restaurant named 'Suan Bua' a must to be visited restaurant. The food and service there was amazing if you're a food lover, this restaurant will take you virtually to Thailand itself. Thanks to all those chefs who cooked that food. The staff Pablo in the restaurant was very entertaining and cheerful, Meaw the restaurant manager was patient enough to take our orders and our kids orders. The Italian Restaurant (Azuri Mare) Again one another beautiful restaurant over water and very delicious food. Thanks to Chef Justin and Sunny who took care of our orders. Sunny was very sweet and kind to us guiding us through the menus. The food was presented very beautifully on our plates and its delicious that we could sit and eat them whole day. The bar staffs were so energetic that they never hesitate to make make our drinks. They made numerous mcocktails for our daughters with beautiful colors whatever they were asked to, it was amazing and cheerful to go bar and had good fun there. Thanks to Shimol, Viam, Dana, Sathish from bar. Another special thanks to Kumar and Vasanth who made "Lamborghini Flames" which was truly beautiful. The Kids Club was very useful with lots of activities to entertain the kids. Ms. Prashani the babysitter was very helpful to us to watch our kids. She kept the kids totally occupied with a big smile on her face always. Big love to her from our daughters. In a whole the island is totally entertaining for both family and honeymooners and very ideal for a leisure vacation. The wifi and internet is very good almost all over the island so we will be connected with our family and friends all the time.

  back to Centara again!!!

  Having visited many times before can't help but feel standards have slipped and island looking tired. staff fabulous especially senthil, may and irfan in club who were absolutely faultless and sherry at the reef (100% and great to see you again) and coral bar staff. It appears there are more managers than last visit who were not as aware of guest history (visits) than before. Room staff Rocky was great with little treats to make us feel special.

  Family with a child

  We have been located on island villa with own access to the beach. Everyday swimming in ocean, as well as other aqua activities was an exciting experience! We specially liked the personnel of the main restaurant and Safari Kids Club! Yoga exercises was a discovery of the trip. Wifi connection was stable and really good even on terrace. Special thanks to housekeeper Samsul for taking care about villa cleanliness and special events during our trip!

  Maldives Paradise with Unforgettable Experience

  A super luxurious accommodation with spectacular view, service, and variety of fish, turtle, octopus, shark, and ray. The food service offers great variety starting from breakfast to dinner with choice of Thai and Italian restaurants. The staffs, especially Thai, are super friendly and pay fine detailed attention. The Coral bar and game room are entertaining and relaxing with drinks. The fish feeding is exceptional with an up-close view of the sharks and rays. One can dive and snorkel 3 times a day around the islands resort. We did the night snorkel as well. It is a real paradise in Maldives. An unforgettable and memorable life-time experience. Make sure you go there with your underwater action camera.

  11 days in paradise!

  It all started with a perfect service at the airport in Malé, where the first friendly employee of the hotel welcomed us and took care of our luggage. After a delayed departure by seaplane, we were at Centara Grand Island Resort & Spa Maldives after about 40 minutes - the most beautiful vacation so far could begin. Booking the duplex beach villa with Sea View (on the south-western side of the island) was, in retrospect, the right decision. Terrace + beach area with privacy, 10m to the turquoise-blue water of the lagoon and almost the whole day sun - or shade under the palm trees directly in front of the terrace. Our man (Rocky), who took care of the cleanliness of our villa had rather little work with us, as we often did without cleaning (for the sake of the environment), but the points of contact we had with him were just cordial and very friendly. In the Reef restaurant you can actually find everything you feel like & gusto - whether in the morning or in the evening (we had half board). "Green" and "Santa", those service staff who looked after us most of the time, always sought conversation, asked us about our well-being and were very thoughtful - like the entire service staff of the hotel! "Masud", the best "Indian Bread" baker was happy every evening when we ordered 2 of his delicious breads - often taking the time to bring it to our place. Also a sign of the very high level of service of the entire hotel. Both the lagoon in front of our villa and the house reef on the northern side of the island motivated us to countless snorkeling trips. In the morning before breakfast we spotted among others turtles and eagle rays, later mostly just countless fish in the most colorful colors and of course the reef sharks. Unfortunately, the booked snorkeling trips were not crowned with "success" - neither manta rays nor whale sharks we got to see. We then decided for a 2nd trip to the whale sharks, but even here we had no chance to see whale sharks - but we could watch dolphins from the boat as they played with the waves. As mentioned above - for us the most beautiful vacation so far, even if we were already once in 2017 on the Maldives (rather in the north of the island groups). For sure a hotel and especially a place that we can only warmly recommend - relaxation is guaranteed here!!!

  Perfect place for families, who love calm and relaxing atmosphere

  We spent at Centara 8 days and it was not enough) Very welcoming and nice staff, so you really want to interact with them (hello Mitchell ☺️) Small but very cozy island. You can walk it around just by 10 minutes. The food was tasty and different everyday. We had very nice beach villa. Recommend this resort for sure 😍

  Best Value

  I visited centara grand island resort with my wife on the occasion of our anniversary. We booked an Overwater deluxe villa which was spacious, clean eco-friendly with scenic views. We are impressed with views, beaches and walking around the island. The staff is very cardial in arranging food of our choice specially Thai and Italian. We enjoyed outstanding service throughout our stay. There are various water sports activities to enjoy with very well trained staff. Enjoyed watching colorful fish while snorkeling. .

  Overall ok 5 star hotel

  Great service, especially at the restaurants. The resort is a bit small for a longer stay, as you will tire of the breakfast/lunch buffet, but the Thai and the Italian restaurants are good. Beautiful surroundings, great snorkeling.

  Most Beautiful Place on Earth

  This place was paradise. The over the water Bungalo with sunset view and pool was pristine. The staff were the kindest people on earth. It was simply depressing leaving this place. My brother was here a few years ago and highly recommended it. Now I highly recommed it. I'll be back someday.
