"This is an island to go to If you want a soft and calm holiday. We came here from a resort island on the north atoll and this is quite different. Here most guests are older and there are few wedding couples. Guest from europe and few russians. (Other resorts have lots of russian tourists)
Tempo is lovely slowmotion on this small island and you walk around it in 20 minutes.

"The rooms were lovely and comfortable, and the house reef was very enjoyable for snorkeling. The ongoing construction across the way did not bother us at all during our stay. The restaurants and bars outside of the pool area were quite good and offered a much better experience overall.
What disappointed us most was the pool service. Drink options were very limited and not very tasty or appealing. The sunset appetizers were also extremely limited and underwhelming. While there were definitely some positives, overall the stay was just okay and unfortunately not somewhere we would choose to return to."
Hulhule Island Hotel- Private Beach Access & Airport Pick-up and Drop
10/10 Excellent
"Super service attentionné de la part de tous les employés. Ils ont offfert de nous preparer un petit dejeuner a 5;00 am malgré le fait que le buffet debutsit a 7:00 am car nous avions un vol a prendre tot en matinée."
"We stayed nights at Bandos then went to another resort for 6 nights. Bandos is great value. We stayed in the Premium Beach Villa. Definitely would pick that room again, IMO the water Villa is not worth the money. We also paid for the All Inclusive option, which was absolutely worth the money. Pros: amazing snorkelling from beach, great for families, good value. Cons: Lacks the luxury that you find in the Maldives. Food/Drinks quality was just average.
Bandos was a perfect addition so we could stay longer in the Maldives without break the bank account. However, if we spent the whole time at Bandos, then we would’ve disappointed (because it’s hard not compare resorts)."
"We visited Kurumba 12 years ago so this was a return to 'paradise'. The welcome at the airport and transfer to the resort by speedboat was efficient and hassle free, however it did cost $324 for the two of us, something we did not discover until a couple of days before arrival. The Kurumba has a wide range of facilities from the Spa to the glass bottomed boat and tennis courts and in that respect it lives you up its 5* rating. However as occupancy rates were down the specialist restaurants were only open for a couple of days a week, it would have been helpful to have been told this when we arrived. Our beachside bungalow was as ideal as expected although it did look a bit tired. All the staff were very professional, welcoming and attentive. I was particularly impressed with the guys who were constantly cleaning the beaches and common grounds, also the nightly singer was very good and entertaining. The noise of sea planes taking off from Male for the islands was however somewhat intrusive and not as we remembered. Overall we had a very good and enjoyable stay."
"A Tropical Paradise with Unmatched Hospitality
Our stay at Centara Mirage Lagoon Maldives was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, the beauty of the resort was matched only by the incredible warmth and professionalism of the staff.
While the culinary offerings across the entire resort were excellent, a special mention must go to Suan Bua. This Thai restaurant truly stands out—not just for the delicious, authentic flavors that transported us with every bite, but for its beautiful and serene atmosphere that makes for an unforgettable dining experience.
The level of service we received was truly world-class, led by Tommy, an excellent restaurant manager who ensures everything runs seamlessly. The entire team is a credit to the resort, specifically:
Nae, our waitress, who is incredibly beautiful and charismatic, making every meal feel like a special occasion.
Chi, who defines professionalism with his attentive and expert service.
Dele, the photographer, who has a fantastic eye and captured our memories perfectly.
Overseeing this exceptional operation is the General Manager, Anastasia. She is an amazing leader—deeply professional, attentive to every detail, and incredibly friendly. It is clear that her dedication to guest satisfaction filters down through the entire team.
If you are looking for a resort that combines stunning surroundings with a team that feels like family, Centara Mirage is the perfect choice. We cannot recommend it highly enough!"
