Excellent stay

We went for our honeymoon, Excellent stay, staff was really friendly especially Nittu who went above and beyond to provide every comfort and organise activities for us. Food is amazing in all restaurants, we stayed at a water villa and it was really as we imagined it. Definitely will go back.

- Lakshi - host and check-in throughout the stay was extremely helpful and proactive in making our stay phenomenal - Piyali - latitude bar. Very funa and friendly - Cladin John - helped to retrieve the ring when it fell between the decking. Went under the decking in a very awkward area and retrieved both rings fast - Srinivas - facilitate quick retrieval and coordinating with Cladin John - Vignesh - lattidue bar. Very caring and kind. He was very attenttive and made us feel absolutely comfortable - Ashi - PA of Manager. Very fun to talk to at cocktail party and welcoming throughout our stay - Remya - daughter loved spending time with her behind the salad bar and got involved with her and had a great time - mohammed ali -room service and assistance to do the room just amazingly clean and was kind. The water villa pool has tiling coming loose and is need of dire maintenance. But the room in itself is phenomanl as give access to the ocean directly !

We went for our honeymoon here and we had an amazing unforgettable experience!! The whole staff especially Hammadh, Hilal and the Air restaurant team, and Shariful at the Stars restaurant are some of the most amazing people we have met and took care of us throughout our stay to make it feel like a home away from home. The facilities and dining are world class and the spa was stunning!! We would go back in a heartbeat. Thanks Coco Budhi Hilti for a perfect honeymoon.

Purely fantastic.

We had an amazing holiday here. Stayed in the residence villas. Zayan was our butler. Did an outstanding job. Property was almost full so getting reservations at restaurants was difficult. I would recommend getting dinner reservations booked before you even arrive if you plan on visiting during tourist season. We ate dinner and breakfast twice at stars. Amazing service from Naahil and Aneef. We planned on this being a once in a lifetime vacation and are now considering returning in the future.

Excellent

The resort is magnificent and the staffs are friendly and helpful. It a must visit resort for anyone that wants to have a perfect holiday.

Property is absolutely beautiful and the staff was very friendly and personable. Enjoyed everything about it. Very convenient and enjoyable

Excellent holiday

Amazing experience; I would repeat it for sure the staff are more than excellent; the service; the food; one of the best of you can have in Maldives; thanks to Maurice the GM and the all staff

Amazing Resort

Absolutely amazing! Great resort and personable with guest. Highly recommend.

The resort is very nice and the staff are very welcoming. The villas are a delight to be in and overall the resort is picturesque. One thing that they may improve upon is their ability to be more accommodating. More than often,they never pay attention to your requests. They retort to rhetorics when asked for special requests or upgrades. For all those people who are staying for few days, go for an all inclusive package, else you will end up paying anywhere and everywhere.

Amazing place, incredibly gorgeous. The over-water villas are really something special to experience and I would highly recommend staying in one of them. The resort also did us the extra courtesy of picking us up from Male airport at an unusual time which meant they just made the 40' boat trip for us which was great service. Highest marks!

Amazing location, fabulous service. We splurged for the Coco Residence overwater villa and it was sooooo worth it! We snorkelled every day and saw the turtles on several visits to the house reef.

Perfect for Family Stay

Amazing stay and friendly staff

Nice staff. Good food. Residence villa we stayed in is in bad need of renovation. No way it is a 5 star villa. Furniture old. Bed is old. Doors to the sun deck and pool do not close well and leak worm air all the time. Tv reception is bad. No stereo system. Bath room amenities are 2 star quality. Bath room light fixtures look like they are 50 years old. AC broke and needed repair. Power was lost in the night several times. This facility has the potential to be really good but they have lots of work to do to get it back in shape.

We stayed in a coco residence. It was exquisite. It was so spacious with a living room, a bed room and huge bathroom. We had our own indoor pool and lounge area all on top of water. The views were breathtaking specially at sun rise and sun set. The food at the air restaurant was great. Again, I have nothing to complain about, it was luxurious and exceeded our expectations.

Management and staff showing real example one team

Great, but food quality not meet my expectation.

All you would expect from a luxury resort

We chose Coco Bodu Hithi for the second part of our honeymoon. The place is amazing and has all you would expect from a luxury resort in the Maldives. Some of the staff was excellent, others were a bit slow. A few flaws, like e.g. payment upon arrival, the same playlist in the restaurant every day, a very poor guitarist... couldn't ruin the overall great experience we had. But be prepared to pay a lot for everything you do. And you have no alternative.

Nice Hotel with Clean rooms. Friendly staff and Nice buffet.

Nice private villa with private beach and pool

Very nice so far. This is our first day here. No place to shop for food. You est at the local restaurants, which are not cheap by American standards. Packing some dry snacks might be a good idea.

Amazing for honeymoon, clean, perfect island.

we went to the resort for our Honeymoon, it was amazing our stay at Coco Bodu Hithi, the island just beautifull, the villa over water is perfect, a few meters snorkeling we found baby sharks, rays, lots of different fishes and turtles The breakfast is very wide and the service was fabulous, unfortunately in May the whether is not so good, but we had very sunny days. At Hotels.com did not advise that the hotel was not Drone friendly, so we coundnt fly our drone.

Thanks!

My family had special holiday! Thank you so much!!

Amazing

Excellent place to relax. The staffs are helpful and trying to make your stay unforgettable

Very good experience, amazing sunset from left wing coco residences with odd numbers. Helpful team all the way from artival to departure.

pure bliss

stayed in Coco Residence villa (615) and was worth it! spacious and very clean villa with great service. Nizam was incredible! Thanks so much Nizam, you were great and keep up the great work!

Surpassed expectations!

From the moment we arrived on the island after our 20+ hour flight from Sydney, we had felt relaxed. We were welcomed by friendly smiles and a cold face towel to freshen up and check-in was swift. Once finally at our over Water Villa, the images of the resort had come to reality. It was exactly as pictured and we were not disappointed. The activities and dining options are relatively pricey but that is to be expected. This is NOT a trip you would take on a budget but EVERY aspect was worth each dollar. Staff were always very friendly, helpful, willing to go above and beyond to ensure your trip is every bit pleasurable. A tip would be to exchange smaller notes to be able to give gratuities to the staff. The country accept USD so keep this in mind as the money exchange service (in Sydney) had said that they accept French Franc (eye rolls). MUST : - Order a fresh omelette made to your liking at breakfast, it will change your world! - Go to the Latitude bar for lunch every day as they have a larger menu then the in room dining (e.g. pizza etc) - Hop on Jetski with a guide so you can be taken to private sandbank for more snorkelling fun - Have the private candlelit degustation dinner under the stars with your own personal pergola - Definitely book in for the Coco Signature Treatment (for couples).. I recommend doing this on the last day and booking a smaller treatment on your first day. It was the PERFECT way to wrap up our holiday! MISS : None, experience it all!

Fantastic resort

We had a fantastic 5 night stay at this resort. We had a beach Villa which is strongly recommended.

Great hotel and great staff to work with and i recomend the hotel if you need quite place and realxing

Amazing hotel but with prices on higher side

Beautiful hotel with amazing view and beaches. Perfect for a relaxing vacation. However, found it slightly over-charging for food and other services.

Amazing!!

This was a dream come true trip and I wouldn't have done it anywhere else but Coco. The hotel was absolutely gorgeous, the room was beyond perfect, the staff were great, the facilities were amazing, the service, the cleanliness, the list goes on. This place is amazing and is located PERFECTLY in distance from the main airport. Loved every second of this amazing stay and trip.

This was paradise!

I had the best time here. Everyone on the team was super friendly and i truly enjoyed my stay. I was there long enough to take the open water scuba course, pass it, and go on additional dives. I was also able to go on other excursions through the resort water sports facility. The resort was dreamy and relaxing. I will definitely be back.

Heaven on earth!!

The ultimate destination and an ultimate resort to stay!! Everything was luxury to detail and we had great time there.

I have to go back to this resort

the staff is Excellent and friendly and always smiling and doing what they can to make your trip memorable, excellent privacy in the coco residence.

Really nice hotel

Very good experience, I will do again very clean, good staff, beautiful place, family

nice hotel

Hotel and staff very nice, comfortable place and amazing experience. The only disadvantage of it is the prices of food beverages and drinks (even water). The prices are VERY HIGH.

Beautiful resort but water villas need up-keeping

A beautiful resort but our 3 water villas we reserved were a bit dusty upon check in. Outside the veranda of the 3 villas we reserved, some of the staircase rails we not intact & several planks of stairs going inside the sea were not in placed. A hazard for accidents. Overall, it was a great place to stay for 3 nights. Wonderful memories.

Relaxed Vacation

Was there for our Wedding Annuversary! The resort is amazing. Beautiful island. Facilities are great. Front Desk Service needs Improvement. Lacks co-ordination and can't fulfil simple instructions. Special compliments to Lattitude Bar and Restaurant Manager, Mr Karthi. He is an asset to the resort. Very professional and accommodating! Overall, the stay was enjoyable.

Amazing

Just Amazing

Excellent - Amazing

The resort was absolutely amazing. The staff was extremely friendly and went above and beyond to meet the customers needs. Excellent resort and fantastic staff.

Lovely island close to Male'

The Coco counter is just a one minute walk once you clear immigration and collect you luggage. The resort rep meets and greets you promptly on arrival and takes you to the waiting medium sized speed boat. Bodu Hithi resort is about 40 miniutes by boat. The island is beautifully laid out with shady pathways leading to the island villas. The island villas have a very private feel, large with a private plunge pool on one end and the other end leading towards the beach. great experiance. The water is warm and the weather was fine. Plenty of activities - yoga, JetSki hire, snorkelling, diving to choose from. The staff give you a very warm welcome on arrival and also ensure that you get a nice send and off. I also liked the weekly beach cocktail party thrown by the management to get feedback from guests.

Nice but over-priced

Ridiculously expensive food and drinks (over 200 USD) for a very mediocre meal for a couple and that's a really nice way to say that. We tried various of their restaurants as well as the in-villa dining which was always served our dishes cold for some weird reason. The WiFi is really really really really slow, I can't really emphasise how slow it is (speed test was always failing due to network issues...to slow...) Besides that, the natural scenery there is amazing. They have a very nice reef there in the Water Villa's area (we saw there a sea-turtle, black tip reef shark, octopus and lots of cool fishes, the corals are also really beautiful). So all in all, if you are foodies it's probably not the place for you, otherwise although the value for money (especially talking about the food and drinks) is far from great but we still had a really good time.

Not bad

We were their for our aneversary.we loved the the resort but it seemed a bit out of date some of the silver's were rusted and the service was pit slow they take time and I'll have to ask for anything more than once to get it , I loved theromantic services they offered and the rooms were clean

Very good stuff

Quiet place, with good privacy , good loction , helpful stuff

The perfect honeymoon!

Great place to spend a perfect honeymoon. Outstanding service although quite expensive. Don't thing that the hotel room rate with breakfast is everything. Be prepared to spend some money on activities and meals. The cheapest meal for 2 would not be under usd 200, all the way up to 700 usd and beyond, depending on your what you want. Overall great place. Don't think getting out of the island is quite simple, special transfer arrangements is required for any transfers, and these run from 250 usd round trip. Make sure that this is the place you want to stay. Great amenities and facilities, spa, dining, snorkeling and other activities. For us, it was the best experience ever.

Restaurant SPA

Restaurant :The price in the 4 restaurant is prohibitive .... the quality is not up to the price charged. Counting $ 150 per person per meal + 25% taxes. For that price you can have a gourmet restaurant in the world !!!! The eggs have a medicinal taste ???? Bizarre … A regret also that we not serve us smoked fish, grilled fish etc ... especially on islands ... The burgers, club sandwich etc ... this is not what is expected … SPA : exceptional Book your session

Exquisite.

Having just returned from a five-night stay at the 'Coco Bodu Hithi' island retreat in The Maldives, my thoughts are simple and to the point - this place is exquisite. My wife and I enjoyed a over-the-top water villa that overlooked an aquatic oasis that never ceased to delight. From the plunge pool to 'direct-access' to the reef, we marveled from one moment to the next as to how lucky we had it. While two or three quaint beaches beckoned, we were more than thrilled to bask in the uniqueness of our villa and all it had to offer. We seldom felt the need to look beyond the pristine reef in our own backyard in search of new experiences.

Beautiful hotel in water

It was great experience . Nice water villa. Private pool in every villa. Lots of water sports. Good food. Beach bar is crazy. Amazing place to be. Must visit place. 45 min speed boat ride from male airport. Crazy water travel by speed boat. We were just 2 in the boat and 3 cabin crew. Wow

Ok but lots of improvement to work on...

Transfer was timely from airport. Staff were at the jetty to welcome all the guest. Unlike other resort we been before, Coco doesn't have a personal butler hence you can look for anyone to assist with your needs. Air condition at residence needs improvement. We gave feedback on 4-5 occasions on the A/C during the first 2 nights,however they couldn't do anything to improve it but they were nice enough to move us to another room with newer A/C. Staff were nice and friendly, breakfast served 95% consistent same food throughout the week. There should be a variety at least to rotate. After day 3, we won't looking forward to breakfast anymore. Dinner options were quite expensive, at least USD100 per pax. Fishes and Corals can be found further away from rooms, meaning we don't have the luxury to walk down from our water villa and snorkel around. Room was pretty old, water pressure was real low! took me 60 mins to full half my bath tub. Overall resort stay was ok, only standout was the kind and friendly staff.

Really excellent house reef snorkeling.

First trip to the Maldives, had a really good time! It was off peak season so the resort wasn't overly crowded. Had some bad weather but didn't ruin the experience as was only for short periods. Stayed in the escape water villas which was very comfortable. We loved having our own infinity pool and easy access to snorkeling off the villa. Loved the morning swims. The staff work really hard at maintaining the resort and are so friendly greeting everyone. Very relaxing holiday of swimming and lazing around and massages, beautiful views of turquoise waters and ocean all around very picture friendly.

Perfect and we enjoyed the activeties so much of fun.

OVERALL STAY WAS GREAT WITH EXCELLENT SERVICE (5*)

It was amazing stay at Coco Bodu Hith, the staffs are friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this beautiful resort to everyone because it's worth every dime spent. The Russian lady staff (I don't remember her name) who took care of my check-in and everything was also helpful in so many ways. They arranged our transfer back to the airport according to our flight time which was for 9:00 pm and they let us stay until 6:30 pm without extra charges, which rarely happens in the industry. The food was great as well. Wish you enjoy your stay as well.

Beyond Expectation! Highly Recommended!

Our 1st Maldivian experience which was way beyond our expectation! Coco Bodu Hithi is a Maldivian owned resort located 40min by speed boat from Male, which allows night transfer to fit our tight schedule (most other resorts that rely on seaplane transfer can't be reached after dark). We requested a villa w/ high privacy & late check out, both were fulfilled free of charge. On arrival at the resort we were greeted by our butler Mohan who offered great advice on beverages/activities & personalized care during our entire stay. We were led to our pool villa, i.e. Coco Residence, which is huge to an extend that we did not have enough time to enjoy every part of the villa, in particular the living room, which could get quite warm day time. Although the villa aged a little, nothing major to spoil our experience. Originally we opted for full-board but changed our mind as the choice of restaurants would be limited. We ended up skipping lunch throughout as the buffet breakfast till 10:30 am was enough to keep us feeling full under the burning sun. We dined at the Aqua & Stars, priced reasonably between USD100-150 pp for 3 courses, which all served delicate dishes with fresh ingredients. We enjoyed BBQ on-the-beach the most, truly Maldivian. We tried scuba diving for beginners, which offered full 45min underwater experience for a good deal. For better coral and turtles, we also did the 1 hr jetski + snorkeling, which the guide let us ride our own jetski, which was exciting!

Very nice resort at a great location

Had great time at the resort. The weather was great and the location is super awesome.I liked the idea that the island is not that big so we were able to walk the whole island from one end to the other within 10 min. staff were very friendly and helpful. The only comment was the cooling systems for the villas were not that great (the AC and refrigerator) inside the villa were not great.

Not going back again!

Hotel over rated! Prices are very high not worth it. AC's are not cold. They charge for water sports activities per person not per activity. They say there are more benefits if you book residence villas they dont give you everything they say its an old offer after you arrive. I dont recomend.

Nice

Nice hotel , I recommend to everyone Nice hotel , I recommend to everyone

Hotel is nice but food and drinks overpriced

The hotel is nice, we'll run but food and drinks are overpriced even for the Maldives. There are no kids activities or facilities, just a communal pool which is not supervised by a lifeguard and has only a few deck chairs available. The diving center has a great team but needs investment and it's clearly focused on beginners. Staff is helpful and attentive. The speed boat ride from the airport is very unpleasant perhaps due to the sea conditions but both ways was horrible.

Perfect stay

Very friendly and helpful account manager and hotel staff. We stayed in Coco Residence for 4 nights. Room is superb with stunning view. The private pool stands out. Food is of high quality with plenty of choices. Spa package is a good deal too.

Excellent stay overall with minor improvements..

Excellent stay overall. Beautiful and calm resort. Lots of privacy. Clear waters and very enjoyable snorkeling. Swam with turtle and sharks. Night programs are however quite sparse and quality could be improved however we recognized that these are not professional performers. Restaurant service ... they did try their best but a little rough on the edges and not up to fine dining silver service standard. Recommend aqua restaurant and tsuki restaurant. Would not go to Star restaurant which is supposed to be fine dining but service was poor by front of house. Aqua restaurant service and food was the best. Tips - ask for sunrise villa. Better snorkeling area and you can't see sunset from the supposed sunset villas anyway.

Nice hotel beautiful beach

We arrived at Male Airport around 9.30 pm. The speed boat took about 40-45mins. Need to pay the fare when you check out. We stayed at beach villa. It was really big. The breakfast was good. We also ate at the restaurant. It cost about USD100 per person for entree, main dish and mineral water. The hotel provide free snorkeling gear that was really good. The beach is nice. No need to rent a boat for snorkeling because the corals are close to the beach. Overall the hotel is good and we will come again.

Lovely place

Two weeks here was great. Nice place, nice beaches, great escape water villa, good food and good service. I would need to be very picky to find fault.

Can improve....

Very nice stay. Fell in paradise. Small issues to solve: - They created non sense dress code and gentleman can't have breakfast using sleeveless shirt. That in my opinion is totally unnecessary. At the same time ladies can you very short dress and show almost everything. - Place that has Coco in the name don't have coconut water in the bar and restaurant (shame) - Improve water sports with different and moderns equipment's (jet ski, etc).

Great trip!

the hotel was nice but the villa needed some work. There was a bit of a storm and there was water inside the villa. Overall the staff was very friendly and it was worth the money!

horrible stay

everything was very bad

poor room condition with safety hazards

horrible stay. booked the "best room category" but the room had dangerous safety hazards that caused a major scar. room was super old and in poor condition. never again.

Over Priced for amenties

The rooms were nice clean and tidy and the staff friendly and warming....butvthis is the same for all resorts. There were limited dinning options outside of when restaurants were open at seven and food really rediculously over priced as was mini bar. Idea for a two possibly three day honeymoon or like

Excellent experience of staying

Full of wonders and surprise nature scene, Good experience in SPA facility, snokling, and a romantic private dinner.

Perfect experience apart from the food.

Incredible trip, the only negative part of the resort is the food. Really really average all round buffets and restaurants really leave alot to be desired in terms of choice and taste, especially for the crazy price of the meals which on average cost us around $150-170USD per person. This is the only area this place needs to improve as most 5 star hotels or resorts beat this place on food quality, even in China I've had better buffets and selection which says a lot. Other than this service was amazing, staff are extremely polite and courteous, the scenery and views are breathtaking and I loved using the gym and Spa with such an amazing view and incredible reefs with beautiful fish everywhere to see.

Good

Except food everything was great, though the title of food sounds very fancy it doest taste that great. If boat transfer are little reasonable thats even better. But the reservation manager was excellent and did all he can to make it memorable. Thanks to harshit.

Amazing Escape Water Villa

We stayed for 3 nights at the COCO and felt that this is the most wonderful trip ever. It create a good memory for us.

Great resort for Couples.

Great resort for Couples, an intimate place. The staff is respectful. The restaurants are great.

its an amazing place

I like the place with an amazing SPA .. but its very expensive like a movie under the sky will cost 130$ with ++ which is 18% .. WHY TAKING TAXES FOR WATCHING A MOVIE ?? and everything is just over priced.. u can go to indinesia with waaaay cheaper than this with the same quality but its not called MALDIVES

Great hotel for Honeymoon

We booked our hotel online but unfortunately there wasn't enough picture to explain the difference between each type of the villas available, but still we liked the water villa we got. The room was nicely furnished and the floor was all wood and it was nice to walk around barefoot. The swimming pool in the terrace was nice and private, we liked the view from there. the staff was really nice and all smiles all the time and makes you feel comfortable. We would like to thank each one of them and the management for the great work.

Very good holiday , beautiful hôtel , thanks to shihan for All service and jalil .
