Meradhoo Holidays from AU$3,308

The Rooms were great. The buffet was not 5 star with little bespoke cooking as per other resorts ive been to in Maldives. Male staff mostly seem disinterested and slow. Females are great. Smoke, staff and food was great. Entertainment bsnds were average to poor . Philippino duo however were excellent. Management never seem to interact with guests. Seemed aloof . Lovely location but not really 5 star.

The island is breathtaking. I stayed in an overwater bungalow and it was absolute perfection. Very clean, verrry comfortable. I recommend the buffet over the restaurant. The restaurant meals were very hit or miss. Some of the service was excellent, others seem miserable and distracted. Saad at the dive school is a fantastic teacher for those who are first timers to snorkeling. If youre a smoker, bring your own cigarettes as a pack is $35 at the bar. If your a non-smoker, be aware that people smoke in pretty much all public spaces. My suggestion would be to bring USD and tip great servers, concierge and bartenders well ($20) early in your stay - it will elevate your experience 100%. They will go out of their way to make your stay the most comfortable.

Always kept the room clean and very friendly and helpful staff

Food was incredible, staff really friendly and the overall experience was very special

Where do I start?!?!...... We've just returned from our honeymoon in the Maldives and it was everything we ever dreamt of, AND MORE.... My wife and I unfortunately are not in a position to be regular Maldives visitors, and so for us, this was a potentially once in a lifetime trip to create some incredible memories on our first holiday as Mr & Mrs... And all I can say is "WOW"!!! This was in no small part thanks to the absolutely incredible time we had at Cora Cora... From the moment we landed in Male the fantastic airport team were there to great us and whisk us across to the Seaplane check-in and then in to the lounge... We landed on the Island and were greeted by a small team including our Freedom Coach who gave us an introduction to the island and a buggy tour, before dropping us off at our beach villa where our luggage had been already been dropped off. Having looked forward to snorkelling for months, ever since we booked the trip, I got straight into my gear and headed for the water, and my God was I blown away!... The food offered in each of the restaurants was incredible, the beaches were the true Maldivian paradise we'd hoped for and the snorkelling was unbelievable (including blacktip sharks, Emporer Angels, Triggerfish and every different type of Tang just to name a few)...
