What Our Guests Say

Rated Travellers' Choice on TripAdvisor

It's great!

Great hotel! The island is very green, twice a day it is cultivated for mosquitoes, so in 13 days of stay we hardly met them. Excellent room service — special thanks to ASHFAAN for the wonderful towel figures every day! Great reception, thank you to Buck for her attention and willingness to solve any problem! The food and restaurants are just great — varied, very delicious, the cooking is super! Excellent service at restaurants, especially MAUCH! The beach is cleaned all the time, the ocean entry is very good. Special thanks to SYMON for the beach service.

A beautiful property with awesome staff

Le Méridien is a stunning property, just a 30-minute seaplane ride from Malé airport. From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us warmly and guided us to the lounge. The overwater villa was truly amazing — stargazing at night and morning swims were special highlights. Room service kept everything spotless, no noise at all, and fantastic value. Special thanks to Curator/Chef Pradeep, Photographer/Staff Simon, and all the restaurant staff who went out of their way to make our stay special.

Holidays in Maldives

Relaxed with my daughter for 10 days. Overall a great island — delicious and varied food, lots of fruit and delicious desserts. Nice rooms, great room service. Special individual five stars to waiter Simon from the grill — so sympathetic, kind, funny and always willing to help! Thanks also to the karaoke host, friendly and fun!

Kids Club

The hotel was wonderful. The island is large — we rode bicycles everywhere. Especially loved the Kids Club; our children (ages 5 and 2) went with great joy every day — interesting crafts and games. Special thanks to Fare from the Kids Club!
