enjoyed our 9 day honeymoon in this fantastic resort. easy and fast to arrive, just a 10min speedboat ride.
Staff is extremely friendly, professional and helpful. our beachfront bungalow was very spacious with an open air bathroom, always clean, towels were changed twice a day.
we booked all inclusive but decided to upgrade to the dine around package which was worth every single penny...cocktails are always freshly made (thanks to Lucy @ Athiri), a la carte all inclusive with amazing food, our fav. restaurant was the Japanese and Thila.
They have a great babysitting service (we travelled with a 8month baby) with fantastic friendly staff. Thanks to Faxoo, Margo, Najj, April, Iru, just to mention a few of them, who did a wonderful job and took care about our lovely daughter.
All in all it was a fantastic holiday, way beyond our expectations.

I have stayed at this resort for 3 nights. Absolutely fantastic experience, Services beyond expectations, beaches perfect, reef is good. Well maintained island, great ecuatorial forest and the details were amazing.

The staff are very friendly and what we request they really find way to accomodate us, They are genuinely concerned about customer satisfaction and are working to deliver the service levels that the Resort is renowned for.

Special thanks to #Kateryna "Front office manager"' #Ana "reception front office" and the Spa team as well for your excellent hospitality.

This is an extract from my recent email to the General Manager at the Kurumba. I thought it worth sharing as a review:

Dear Ryszard and Kateryna,

I wanted to write to you personally to thank you both for such a wonderful recent stay at the Kurumba with my father and brother. As you may remember, I wrote to you in advance of the holiday to let you know the circumstances of my father’s age and the likelihood that this may be the one opportunity for him to visit the Maldives and particularly the Kurumba, which is my personal favourite.

Can I just say that my and particularly his expectations were exceeded. I only spoke to him the other day and he described it as ‘the best holiday I have ever had’. He has frequently spoken about the level of customer service and contact with your staff, describing this as the friendliest place and most helpful he has ever been to, so what a credit to you both as managers of this wonderful resort.

Thank you so much Kateryna for taking the effort to think of suitable accommodation for us all and particularly for the very kind upgrade, which was greatly appreciated by my father who absolutely loved the view of the sea and access to the water from our wonderful accomodation.

Particular mention must go to your excellent staff who welcomed us so warmly every day at breakfast and made such an extra fuss of my father, which I know he really enjoyed. I want to make special mention of Faxhoo. She was so warm and welcoming and spoke to my father with such personal warmth, it made his holiday extra special!

Again, the restaurants and quality of food was wonderful. I would also like to mention one of your staff in the Indian restaurant who again made my father feel especially welcomed, Atheef.

On a personal note, as you will know this is my third visit to the Kurumba. I was not in anyway disappointed and in fact the opposite. I have seen an increasing improvement every time, in both the look and feel of the resort, the wonderful warmth of your staff and the quality of your hotel. I can only congratulate you for what you as manager and Kateryna as your deputy have achieved. I look forward to continued visits!

With warm regards
Darren

This was my and my wife's first experience in Maldives full with unforgettable memories just in 4-5 days. The hotel is the only one on the island. Its rooms, amenities and service is of the best quality I have ever seen.

The room that we booked (Deluxe Bungalow with sea-sight) was very specious, clean and comfortable - with complimentaries. You do not even need to bring anything with yourself to have an on-beach holiday.

In regard to amenities, Vihamana Restaurant serves different varieties of food and dishes for every kind of palate - fish, beef, vegetables and exotic fruits. There is a mosque on the island that any Muslim may have juma'a prayers with the personnel and other guests. I felt like at home here as a Muslim. Anyone that likes to do workout and other sports lke tennis, snirkling, swimming may enjoy the amenities here. Wifi is reachable almost all over the island and totally free.

Personnel was also very friendly, warm and helpful that made us feel extremely comfortable. On every occasion we had talks with personnel to get to know the local culture and understand people's daily lives here. I just humbly suggest to have a chat with Mode (Muhammed), the person that serves at Vihamana Restaurant. He introduced a lot to us regarding the local people's lives. Particularly if you are interested in fishing tuna, you should consult with him as an experienced former fisherman.

I did not have any bad memory here at Kurumba at all.
