Mӧvenpick Resort Kuredhivaru, Maldives
Our Opinion
Recently opened at the beginning of November this new resort ticks a lot the boxes in terms of criteria. A house reef, different types of accommodation, selection of restaurants, kids club, gym, art classes and the ever important dive centre however as all new babies, this one will take some time to mature.
The rooms are contemporary, fairly stark in their interiors (though this could be the “zen”theme that runs throughout) and in our opinion need a little injection of femininity and perhaps colour to make them a little more homely. That said the beds are wonderfully comfortable and the rooms have all the amenities you would expect from a 5 star.
With a brand New team on board, the staff are extremely friendly and positive about the island but lack the experience of service and this becomes evident at mealtimes especially. At current levels the service is somewhere between 3 and 4 star and quite disappointing. The food is a bit hit or miss depending on what you are having, but with the right training and management Movenpick hope this resort will be at entry level 5 star level. It has some work to do, but we will return ...
