Was worried we had set our hopes to high reading all the reviews, we were not disappointed. Yes some of the reviews on the room condition are correct but it's the tropics and mainly timber decay which they were working on while we were there, everything else was fine, clean rooms, plenty fresh towels, quality toiletries, great turn down service...

The Maldives is an expensive hobby. Once you have been all you dream about is going back!!! We tend to agree with all the positive comments other reviewers have made about the resort. We specifically searched out a resort with an all inclusive plan so that they would not be constantly worrying about what a final bill would be, we... More

We booked this holiday for my husbands 40th birthday and it was the most relaxing, enjoyable holiday we have ever had, even with two kids (9 & 7)! The resort is a fantastic family location with plenty of things to keep the... More

Just returned from what was a dream holiday, we stayed five nights, which in hindsight was not long enough. The resort is all inclusive, with wonderful food and drinks. We stayed over water which was amazing, straight off the stairs into the ocean, my husband said was the best variety of fish he had ever seen, and we have been... More

This is our second time that we visited Centara and this time we took along another family to join us. We were in Lux for the first 5 days and then 5 days in Centara. We were welcomed personally by all the management including the Group Resort Manager (who was on visit), so we felt really special. What can I... More

We had a lovely week at this hotel in 2010 and still rave about it. Now! We chose the all inclusive option and were looked after so well. There was nothing more we could have wanted. The food was delicious, the service impeccable and friendly - we were so impressed with everything. Our villa was on the beach and had... More

First trip to the Maldives and could not have chosen better. Long flight from Gatwick with BA met after customs and taken to the seaplane transfer lounge be warned they weigh everything and cost me $70 excess baggage charge. Amazing views from seaplane and an experience never to be forgotten very noisy and hot but brilliant. Met at resort with... More

I was fortunate enough to be flown out to the Centara Grand for our honeymoon last year (sorry for delay in posting!) as a surprise. Upon arriving at the island by seaplane we were greeted with big smiles and taken to the island club house to check in. Cool towels, refreshing drink and staff were absolutely charming - so great...
