Our stay at the Centara Grand was for our honeymoon and it couldn’t have went any better. From the staff, to waking up with the beautiful ocean view, we will cherish our memories. In our Deluxe Ocean view villa, we were left with beautiful surprises from Afsal in our room. He was a great help and always was available if we needed something. We dined often at the Azzuri Mare restaurant and the staff there was amazing. Sunny and chef Justin were so kind and made sure the food was exactly how we wanted it. We also had Tepenyaki one night and it was a great experience. The chef made it an entertaining experience for all those who ate there. The Reef restaurant had a plethora of food from different cuisines so there was something for everybody to enjoy. We really enjoyed trying other dishes! The staff even set up the Dreams cinema for myself and wife since we were not able to make the cinema night, and wow what a night to remember. I highly recommend staying at the Centara Grand resort for anybody looking to visit the Maldives and hope to return shortly!

This is my second stay at Centara Grand and it was infinitely better than my first. The majority of the staff remembered me and treated me well. I was pleased with everything at Centara Geand! Mr. Hassan at Best Dives is the primary reason for my second visit. He has amazing patience and delivers superlative customer service.

I cannot begin to describe how amazing this place is. The property is stunning. I celebrated my 35th birthday here. The staff were truly exceptional. June, Senthil, Sathish, Habib, Shimol are just a few of the names that I can remember. The lady who runs the Thai restaurant, the front desk staff, the chef of the Thai restaurant and our room attendant also exceeded our expectations at every turn. The food was amazing. We snorkeled, took a Thai cooking class, took a mixology class, went fishing, dolphin cruised, had a wild and whacky experience on the fun toy, spent 2 days at the spa, and had a special lobster dinner. Everyone seemed happy and like they were dedicated to making our trip amazing. There are other things that really made this place a gem. Their commitment to sustainability was pronounced and as the climate changes, I felt proud to be at a place that makes this a priority. The meet and greet at the airport also made for a smooth travel experience. I highly recommend staying Centara Grand.
