Really nice place to stay. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/82E55868ECD8BFAF4C5E615F1911B8F17F2D1E861711254482553.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/27264CA5CC3E441660998D358E829FB7398B40B61711254482985.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1A7AE4649CCE458555201EF005B24E1D84000DD11711254482219.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7806DA0DEE76B0169D2B1C7A56FBE41ED958FE5E1711254483248.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sau Yee Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chinmay 6 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent! ##### Chinmay Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Udo 2 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Udo Stayed 10 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marcelo Curvello Araujo 9 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Marcelo Curvello Araujo Stayed 8 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Benjamin 23 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities By far the best experience we've had for our first time resort! Everyone was kind and engaging. Staff always made sure you were well informed about different events happening and provide excellent service. I highly recommend this as a MUST stay. ##### Benjamin Stayed 6 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bledar 19 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We loved the property, we loved how friendly, helpful and nice the staff was. They took care of our villa like it was their own home and you never see this anywhere. What I didn't like was that they need to set up long chairs for the family villas, we requested and they set it up for us but we didn't realize we could request it until the last two days. ##### Bledar Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### esther 25 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### esther Stayed 6 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Evelyn 5 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This is my second stay at Centara Grand and it was infinitely better than my first. The majority of the staff remembered me and treated me well. I was pleased with everything at Centara Geand! Mr. Hassan at Best Dives is the primary reason for my second visit. He has amazing patience and delivers superlative customer service. ##### Evelyn ### 10/10 Excellent #### takahiro 13 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good ##### takahiro Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claiton Junior 5 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our holiday was nothing short of amazing! The rooms were comfortable, with AC and a mini fridge replenished daily. Housekeeping was impeccable, and stepping outside led directly to the beach. Safety was a priority, with life jackets for the whole family. Snorkelling, paddleboarding, and kayaking were available at the Best Dive kiosk, with helpful and knowledgeable staff. We took a sunset boat tour and saw hundreds of dolphins—truly unforgettable! Joe and Alex made scuba diving an excellent experience, guiding my husband step by step. Beyond the sea and infinity pool, there was plenty to do: a well-equipped gym, tennis court, and a games room with pool, darts, ping pong, PlayStation, and air hockey. The spa was the perfect place to unwind—Pin’s full-body massage was bliss! The island shop stocked essentials like sunglasses and sunscreen. To keep mosquitoes at bay, the island was sprayed daily, though bringing insect repellent is wise. Dining was spectacular, with three restaurants: The Reef (buffet), Mare Azzurro (Italian, booking needed), and Suan Buan (Thai, booking needed). The staff were outstanding—Kal ensured my son got his burger, and May, June, Vivek, Sunny, and Habib provided top-notch service. Refreshing drinks by the pool added to the experience—Siva and Ajith made dreamy caipirinhas and perfect milkshakes! The kids' club was a hit, with creative and sporty activities led by Yummi and Naba. Our time here was unforgettable, and we can't wait to return! ##### Claiton Junior Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Diamonds Thudufushi Maldives Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thudufushi-Island-Hotels-Diamonds-Thudufushi-Beach-Water-Villas-All-Inclusive.h4595589.Hotel-Information) > > [The Residence Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falhumaafushi-Hotels-The-Residence-Maldives.h6563347.Hotel-Information) > > [Kuredhivaru Resort & Spa Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuredhivaru-Hotels-Movenpick-Resort-Kuredhivaru-Maldives.h28858949.Hotel-Information) > > [You & Me Maldives - Adults Only - Premium All-Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Uthurumaafaru-Hotels-You-Me-Maldives.h36035737.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Maldives Rangali Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rangali-Island-Hotels-Conrad-Maldives-Rangali-Island.h564176.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Resort Maldives with 50% off on Sea Plane round trip SPA 03 nights & above](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Radisson-Blu-Maldives.h45693918.Hotel-Information) > > [Vilamendhoo Island Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vilamendhoo-Island-Hotels-Vilamendhoo-Island-Resort-Spa.h1668041.Hotel-Information) > > [Fiyavalhu Resort Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mandhoo-Hotels-Fiyavalhu-Maldives.h46561949.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Maldives Kuda Rah Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuda-Rah-Hotels-NH-Maldives-Kuda-Rah-Resort.h16054819.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Island Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horubadhoo-Island-Hotels-Royal-Island-Premium-All-Inclusive-Resort.h1501450.Hotel-Information) > > [OUTRIGGER Maldives Maafushivaru Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maafushivaru-Hotels-Lti-Maafushivaru-Maldives.h5248538.Hotel-Information) > > [Angaga Island Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Angaga-Hotels-Angaga-Island-Resort-Spa.h11673084.Hotel-Information) > > [Adaaran Select Meedhupparu - 45 Minutes from Male by Seaplane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Meedhupparu-Hotels-Adaaran-Select-Meedhupparu-Premium-All-Inclusive.h2256805.Hotel-Information) > > [LUX* South Ari Atoll](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dhidhoofinolhu-Island-Hotels-LUX-South-Ari-Atoll.h1520422.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandies Bathala](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bathala-Island-Hotels-Sandies-Bathala.h33096418.Hotel-Information) > > [Siyam World Maldives - 24-Hour Premium All-inclusive with Free Transfer](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Siyam-World.h53715771.Hotel-Information) > > [Canareef Resort Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Herathera-Hotels-Canareef-Resort-Maldives.h12263621.Hotel-Information) > > [Adaaran Prestige Water Villas - with Dine around Premium All inclusive - 24 hours – 45 Minutes from Male by Seaplane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Meedhupparu-Hotels-Adaaran-Prestige-Water-Villas.h1520790.Hotel-Information) > > [South Palm Resort Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ismehela-Hera-Hotels-South-Palm-Resort-Maldives.h31543567.Hotel-Information) > > [Mirihi Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mirihi-Hotels-Mirihi-Island-Resort.h1395195.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Park Sun Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nalaguraidhoo-Hotels-Villa-Park-Sun-Island-Resort.h2917878.Hotel-Information) > > [OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi - All Inclusive with Free Transfers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/OBLU-XPErience-Ailafushi.h72915265.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/The-Ritz-Carlton.h58998476.Hotel-Information) > > [Lily Beach Resort & Spa - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Huvahendhoo-Hotels-Lily-Beach-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h8751436.Hotel-Information) > > [Ayada Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maguhdhuvaa-Hotels-Ayada-Maldives.h7353026.Hotel-Information) > > [Soneva Jani](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Medhufaru-Hotels-Soneva-Jani.h15375843.Hotel-Information) > > [Cora Cora Maldives-Premium All-Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maamigili-Island-Hotels-Cora-Cora-Maldives-Premium-All-Inclusive.h67541796.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Maldivas - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kedhigandu-Hotels-RIU-Palace-Maldivas-All-Inclusive.h35002724.Hotel-Information) > > [JOALI Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Muravandhoo-Hotels-JOALI-Maldives.h22699380.Hotel-Information) > > [Cocoon Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ookolhufinolhu-Hotels-Cocoon-Maldives.h15440435.Hotel-Information)
