Top Tips from our Experts

An Amazing treat for our Eyes, Stomach and Heart

It all started with me planning a surprise for my wife. I wanted her to to be amazed at eveyrthing. Coco Bodu Hithi made all that happen. I could write a book on all the wonderful experiences we had over there but i will keep it short. No camera can ever do justice to this place, no review can ever do justice to the food we ate. You need to see with your eyes and taste with your tongue, to experience the real amazing beauty of this place. From the moment we reached Coco, the staff made us feel so special, as if we were their most important guests. Cigdem was super friendly with us from the moment we met and everyone made us feel comfortable instantly. The whole stay was a treat for our eyes and it doesn't stop at it, the food was amazing as well. We ate and ate and ate. Chef Dominic would come and meet us personally at our table and ask us about our experience. We enjoyed all the different cuisines and ate so many, that we cant even remember all the names of what we ate. Mr.Binoy would always make time to come and talk to us and make us laugh with his good humor. The most interesting fact about Coco that amazed us is how friendly all the staff are. Each and everyone is always happy and pleasant. Each one of the staff would always have a bright smile on their face and no matter how busy or engrossed they would be in a work, they would always make sure to smile and greet us every time they would see us. Now that is hospitality at its best. Some of the other staff who really cared for us were Chaya, Pheldus, Manikfan (just to name a few). We really hope to meet them soon on our next trip. They only thing sad about our Coco trip was that we had to say bye to this paradise and go back home. Even while on our return boat trip, we notice that the staff didn't just say good-bye and leave, they stood there till we were far and couldn't see them any more. Just like all the couples we met at Coco who keep coming back for their vacations, We have also decided to go there again for our next vacation. Since we stayed at the Coco Residence this time, we want to experence the island villa next time. I haven't talked much about the scenic beauty and marine life in this review because that is somthing everyone needs to see with their own eyes. Go Experience the paradise on Earth and feel special at Coco.

The Best of the Best

My wife and I are Newly Weds and we chose to go to Coco Bodu Hithi for our Honeymoon. Not knowing or heard anything about the brand, we were slightly questioning whether it would be a worth staying here or not, but ultimately it's the Maldives, you can't really go wrong right? We decided to stay at the Coco Residence, a room with a private pool, and a 24/7 butler to attend all our needs. Long story short, this trip was everything we wanted and more. The staff couldn't have been more welcoming, the quality of rooms and food couldn't have been any better, the world class chefs couldn't have been more accommodating and willing to prepare anything and everything we requested. Having said all that, I had to save the best of the trip for last. Our butler, Gowtham, he may have been the reason why our stay was paradise. From his initial welcoming us at the port to the last farewell, we were always addressed with smiles and no less. If we wanted to make reservations, Gotham got it done for us, if we wanted to take a ride to breakfast or dinner, Gowtham, if we had any issues in the room, Gowtham, if we ran out of shampoo, even though house keeping attended the call, Gowtham was the first to show up. One of our nights, we reserved a dinner on the beach for just the two of us and Gowtham and his team prepared a fantastic evening for us, definitely an unforgettable one. Coco Bodu offered an underwater safari which we really wanted to do however the boat going was sold out and yet Gowtham found a fantastic solution for us- he arranged a private speed boat for us with a driver and a guide ALL FOR THE SAME PRICE! Anyone going to Maldives, I would strongly recommend staying at Coco Bodu, and this is coming from a picky traveler and a second time visitor to the Maldives.

Place dreams are made of! True paradise that exceeded expectations!

Eden Prairie, Minnesota

First off my sincerest apologies to the wonderful staff for our very late review! My husband and I stayed on vacation in mid-August for 5 nights in an overwater villa in the Coco Residences! This was our first trip to the Maldives so my only comparisons are other Carribbean and Hawaiian resorts. If you are looking for white glove, top of the line accommodations, you should book at a Four Seasons or something similar (which will also cost you a whole lot more).If you are looking for an island getaway that has friendly, attentive, personal service, tranquility, the most beautiful water, full service water activities and spa at a modest price, the Coco Bodu is for you! We were met promptly at the airport and after a short 15 minute wait we were on the 40 minute boat ride to the resort. We were greeted by many staff right at the dock, including our wonderful Butler, Nizam and the manager of the Coco Residences, Cigdem (I miss you girl and saw you wipe away a tear as we left. Me too!). A short 3-4 minute ride through the lush green part of the island by golf cart to a separate check-in at the Coco Residences. Our luggage was taken at the airport and we never touched it again until it arrived at our villa. Our villa was very large with windows in every room for a view of the water! Nights on the larger lounger on the private deck brought a beautiful view of the stars. Villa was also very private, including most of the deck. We were in unit 621, which had the perfect sunset view. Was a longer walk from the Stars restaurant and rides to other parts of the island though. We didn’t mind. Pillow and pool float menus were available. Nizam was even happy to unpack for us if needed. We arrived in the afternoon. He quickly ensured we had cold water and ice and also took care of our dinner reservations so we could relax. That quiet, unassuming service by Nizam continued throughout our stay. When called upon for a ride, ice or any other need he was available in short order! He arranged meetings at the dive center also. We also had a room attendant, Sodhree, who made our bed and tidied our room a couple of times a day! So much to say about Sodhree! He was very personable and pleasant. Also very creative. He created some beautiful designs on our bed using fresh botanicals from the island and also a personalized a gift to take home (see pictures). Breakfast was included and other than one day at the buffet (which had many,many options to suit every diet and ethnicity), we ate all breakfasts at the Stars restaurant. There we got to know the delightful Jyodi. After the first day, she knew what we wanted to drink and for pastries. She was a breath of sunshine to see each day! We frequently saw the Coco Residence manager Cigdem who was also very personable and concerned about our stay. The staff made us feel very special!The food at all of the restaurants was very good. We did not have a full meal plan and as would be expected, dinners were expensive. About $200 for two each night with an appetizer and 2 drinks. There is a large array of water sports, including water skiing, jet skis, tubing, diving, snorkeling plus many others. We did a snorkeling tour and went to an area where the sea life was good. Saw turtles, many fish and a couple of sharks. Not as many colorful schools as I would have liked or expected though. We also snorkeled on our own twice (equipment comes with the villa). Once was off the beach near to other overwater bungalows. Sea life was abundant there, including black tip sharks. We also snorkeled off our villa. Since this is closer to the open ocean, the water was rougher. Also the reef in that area is mostly dead so sea life was hard to find. However daily we would see sharks and sting rays in that area. My husband is an avid diver having been to many worldwide sites. He dove twice here and this was one of the best dive spots ever. He saw sharks, tiger fish, numerous turtles, an electric eel and several schools of colorful fish. The dive instructor Caroline helped take pictures of my husband during the dive and was very knowledgeable. If I had the time to dive, I would have felt comfortable with her as a first time diver. I visited the spa for a massage. This too exceeded my expectations!!! Beautiful, tranquil facility with a glass floor under the table and a large picture window to enjoy the view during my milk bath. Massage itself was very good. Prices were in line (maybe even a bit less) than in the US at an upscale spa. We used the infinity pool once and that was great too but with a private villa pool it was hard to want to go elsewhere for a swim. Cons. I don’t have much to say here. The villa and resort did show some wear, especially from the elements (some pool tiles were falling off). The bed was a bit hard for me, but that is a personal preference. Tax in the Maldives is high! Every purchase or service comes with about an additional 22% tax (a service charge and sales tax) so be prepared. I can’t say enough about the friendly and warm staff!! Are there nicer resorts, yes, but this one exceeded our expectations for the price and was far enough away from Male to feel like you were truly in a private paradise. Plenty to do and nothing to do but watch the water go by. I would not hesitate to return to the Coco Bodu. I just wish it wasn’t so far away! I hope the staff mentioned receive recognition from management! Miss you all and we miss the Maldives!
