Amazing family trip

Doha, Qatar

I really enjoyed my holiday in Coco Bodu Hithi. It was only three days which consider a short time for a family of three kids and parent. My kid's ages were 16, 13 and 8, they enjoyed all the water sports which were suitable for their ages except the youngest. The resort was fantastic in on all aspects, restaurants, activities, and atmosphere. It just needs more activities for small kids like swimming pool with slides and water games. I will recommend this place for all my friends and family. Also, I can’t forget the nice staff, they were really respectful and helpful especially Gowtham. He helps us a lot and he was very smart and helpful when we asked him to arrange different activities for our kids. I'm sure this resort deserves another visit.

Soooooooo GREAT

허니문으로 갔고, A.I로 코코레지던스 4박을 다녀왔습니다. 조금 오래된 곳이라고 하여 걱정하였는데, 물론 숙소의 일부 소품들은 낡은 느낌이 있어, 교체를 하면 좋겠긴 합니다. 카페트나 조명등의 커버, 조명의 색이라던지요. (휴식을 위한 것이라지만 밤에 너무 어두워요. 조금더 하얀계열의 조명등과 무드등이 같이 있으면 좋겠습니다.) 하지만 리조트 전체적으로는 친절한 직원들의 서비스가 좋았습니다. 단 팁문화에 익숙하지 않아서, 직원들에게 서비스를 받을때는 얼마를 줘야하나 고민하게 되서 살짝 스트레스가 있었네요. 약간 팁을 주길 바라는 눈빛을 보는데 돈을 안가져왔다거나 할때의 민망함;;; 이건 뭐... 어떤 리조트를 가도 그럴듯.. 음식들도 전반적으로 만족했고요. 단, TSUKI는 예외입니다. 종업원의 태도도 별로 친절하지않았고, 식사가 너무 늦게 나옵니다. 그리고 결정적으로 맛이 없습니다. 이 레스토랑에 대한 평가는 한국인들에게는 좋게 받지 못하니, 꼭 개선하길 바랍니다. 우리와 같은 시간에 식사하던 한 커플은 디저트도 먹지않고 계산하고 나가버렸습니다. 우리 커플은 왠민하면 음식을 남기지않고, 불만을 말하지않는 편인데도, 엉망이라고 생각했습니다. 만약 이 레스토랑만 이용했다면, 아마 코코보두히티 전체 음식점에 대한 평가가 낮아졌을것입니다. 그러나 스타, 아쿠아 외 부페와 점심때 이용한 로비옆 식당(이름이 기억안나요;;)에서 너무나도 만족스런 서비스와 음식을 대접받았기에 안타까운 마음에 글을 남깁니다. 생긴지 오래되었고, 본섬에서 가까워서 수중환경이 안좋을거라고 들었는데, 물도 깨끗하고, 쓰레기섬?이란것도 안 보이고요. 스노클링 하기도 좋았습니다. 만타가오리, 거북이, 베이비샤크들도 운좋으면 만날수있고(전 거북이만 못봤어요), 다양한 어종들도 볼수있습니다. 가성비만 생각하고 갔지만, 꽤 만족스러웠어요. 버틀러들말로는 워터빌라쪽이 거북이 베이비샤크 볼수있는 포인트래요. 레지던스에선 가오리들을 볼 수 있어요. 그리고, I am not at english, but i want to express it. Dear Gotham, I was happy and enjoyed during our honeymoon because of your consideration and kindness. Thank you for always smiling and making fun of me first. I felt that you are not just working, enjoyed and liked work from the heart. thank you again, and i pray for you^^

Do yourself a favour !!!

Brisbane, Australia

I don't normally write reviews, as one mans farm house is another mans castle . Firstly let me say that if you are looking for a 5 star marble and gold bathroom experience or furniture that has just come out of the latest Vogue magazine - this is not the place for you . There are other resorts at a much higher price point which can accommodate you . However if you are looking for an experience where the guest is the number one priority from Martin the GM, right through to the wonderful breakfast staff that freshly squeeze / blend your papaya juice in the mornings - then you have found the right place ! We were lucky to have booked a Coco residence (613) with its own separate sitting / TV area, which is perfect for couples that are always on different time clocks. The space was fabulous for us as we love spacious villas. Yes, there are a few areas that are starting to show their age a little, but not a significant issue at all. There seems to be an ongoing refurbishment program, as recently all the Residences had the roof thatching and ceilings replaced, as well as new internal ceiling fans. There was work being done on the interior of another 2 residences, but we were never disturbed by any noise. The Nespresso machine was very welcome, as well as a mini bar with not unreasonable prices ...considering you are in the Maldives. The spacious outside deck has various options of very comfortable patio furniture and the infinity pool was a great place to just wallow and relax. There were always plenty of fish off the deck, we saw several ray's, a couple at least one meter across, countless small and large fish, and even a very pretty reef shark just cruising past. If you swim west off the villa about 40 meters there are plenty of nice fish and a bit of coral to snorkel over. There are also other designated snorkeling spots where there are plenty of fish, a large octopus and apparently a few turtles .....but you had to get up before 10am to see them :-) The Coco Residences have their own a la carte restaurant available for breakfast until 12.00pm ( yes 12.00pm - what a bonus for those who love to sleep in !!! ) and dinner . Dinner here is available to all villas and it really is special . This is not a big space so you were really made to feel special - we really didn't want to go anywhere else. The main island area had a lovely rain-forest feel with extensive planting, this along with the sand paths made for a cooler walk across to other areas of the resort. We also loved the fact that we didn't have to endure another flight / seaplane on arrival in Male to get to our resort . Its a waste of a day when having to do another check-in for Maldivian ( that can be delayed or cancelled ) or a sea- plane that might wait for other passengers to arrive before you can get to your resort . You could be sitting in your private pool at Coco with a glass of wine within 2 hours of having arrived in Male . Did I mention the snorkeling ?? Fantastic !!! This was such a relaxing, lay back holiday for us . I do have one complaint - we had to leave after 8 nights . Thank you to Martin and his wonderful and attentive staff and hopefully they will be able to spoil us again one day.

Decent, but not worth a return.

I’d like to point out at the start that while I have a lot of criticism of Coco Bodu Hithi, I mention most of this here so that you will be prepared for what you’ll find there. If you know the downsides in advance they might not bother you much. I also post this because while I spoke with several people there about my issues, (all of whom were sympathetic and tried to make up for my unhappiness), sometimes a review on TripAdvisor gets the attention of upper management more effectively than from within the hotel. So, this is for the education of Coco Collection. I’ll start with the bad/questionable: Wow, does this place need a refresh. I was in Coco Residence 617, which sounds far more elegant than it was. I did like the separate living room and the ability to have a/c on in one only or both. The curtains were horribly made and falling apart. Just replacing them would make a world of difference. There were no bedside lamps, so I had to use the light on my cellphone to read. The worn roller window shades in the bedroom don’t even go to the floor, so it is impossible to get the room dark. The door hardware has started to rust, and the corkscrew (an easy, inexpensive thing to replace) was completely rusted. A small touch, but not the kind of thing you find even in a 3* hotel. The outdoor shower had no pressure whatsoever. Absolutely no reason to snorkel at the Residences. An occasional Napoleon triggerfish, maybe an eagle ray, and a few tiny fish by the ladder. The most exciting thing I saw was a crab resting on the ladder. The house reef is by the other overwater villas. Rooms are being renovated, but only one or two at a time since the place is always full. There was one beach villa underway, with guys working on the roof, but they weren’t making a ton of noise. Oddly enough, at the spa (which is wonderful) they will not apply a base or top coat with mani/pedicures. Not very wise, since one is walking in sand for a good portion of the day. Be sure to wait until your last day, or insist on a pre-departure touch up on the house. They say they are “eco conscious,” but all plastic bottled water. Since it is such a small island there is no space for a proper water filtration system or solar setup, but it would be nice if they made more of an effort to keep the plastic use to a minimum. The bill for every meal or spa treatment had a line at the bottom with a word that made no sense to me (reg#, or something like that). After leaving it empty for a couple of meals, a waiter pointed out to me that that line was meant for a tip. I’ve never been shamed into tipping at a 4* hotel before. I asked to speak to the manager about most of these things, and spoke with what I suppose was the assistant manager, because I laid eyes on Martin the GM only once in passing on the path. Now the good stuff. The island is small and charming. It doesn’t take long to get anywhere on foot. Petite paths winding around…but no bikes, so if you’re in a water hut at the end of the jetty you’ll get a really good leg stretch in the sun. There are umbrellas in the room, so those can help with the blazing sun. After two nights in Residence 617, I requested to be downgraded to a beach villa, which was in great condition (although the toilet room needs some work). Do note that because of the design it is virtually impossible to get it cool. Rasheed, my butler, very kindly brought a table fan to help with the heat. He was a great help during my stay. The resort is 95% full always. Only noticeable at main/breakfast restaurant and attached bar at lunchtime. I did my Advanced OW PADI certification at the dive shop, Dive Ocean. Very laid back, but organized and professional. The boat dives are on authentic dhonis, and watching the captain dock them is awe-inspiring. Very good diving; tons of fish, black tipped and white tipped sharks, nurse sharks, moray eels, and good, healthy coral. Overall, I would say my stay there was okay. Certainly not good enough to return.
