"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."

"Relaxing and beautiful resort and accommodation. "

"Booked and paid for full board and wasn’t able to have dinner or lunch. Was told dinner not available as kitchen was closing in 20 minutes and was told lunch not available as it is after checkout time. "

"Friendliest staff"

"The airport transfers were punctual and efficient. Location is central to many attractions like park, mosque, fish market, restaurants. Staff is very helpful."

"Despite the resort being quiet, this has got to be one of the best holidays we've had. Food everywhere has been excellent, service amazing - staff are so friendly and helpful, its been so nice getting to know everyone! The room was lovely and cleaned every day to a high standard Would highly recommend and will most certainly be back!"

"Horrible. Would not recommend. Very loud outside and construction going on. Gave us earplugs at check in. Had to leave one day early because couldn’t sleep properly. Fridge doesn’t work either"

"We had a great stay at this hotel. The room was clean and well-maintained, and the service throughout our stay was excellent. The staff were friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. A special thank you to Suda, Nisal, Fol, Chanan, Akhil, and HK for going above and beyond to make our stay so enjoyable—their hospitality truly stood out. Breakfast had a good variety and everything tasted fresh. The airport transfer was smooth and convenient, which we really appreciated. Overall, it was definitely worth the money, and we would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area."

"We were very impressed with our stay. Our shuttle driver was incredibly apologetic about being late to get us at the airport despite it being beyond his control (traffic accident). For there, we were greeted by a very pleasant and helpful young woman who explained everything we needed to know for our stay over a welcome "cold lemon tea" that was absolutely delicious. Despite arriving very early for our check-in time, they were able to get us into our room early. Our room was an ocean view and we were thrilled. It was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. Some may have concerns about the flooring (the seams were separating in some places) but it didn't bother us. We walked the area and always felt very safe, explored stores and restaurants but still returned to the hotel to eat 4 meals (breakfast, lunch and dinners). We cannot say enough about the food - we were very impressed (selection, cost, quality, and quantity). Overall, we'd definitely stay again."
