The accommodation, food and service were definitely 5 star. The only drawback is the island's proximity to Male - only a 10 minute boat trip from the airport. Consequently, depending on the location of your accommodation, you could be sunbathing looking out over Male, it's harbour and the airport! I have to say that the planes are not such a... more

My girlfriend and I have just returned from the Kurumba resort in the Maldives where we spent 2 weeks. We had an amazing time ! I am the VERY FUSSY TYPE when it comes to hotels and restaurants and God, I wasn't at all disappointed with what Kurumba had to offer. The staff were fantastic, so was the food and... more

This resort is very beautiful and well looked after, i recommend this hotel to anyone. I went out there on 9/12 for 1 week for my honeymoon, booked a deluxe bungalow and asked for a room looking away from Male and got room 208, great location set right on the beach (6 steps) to the water and thats no lie,... more

I've wanted to go to the Maldives for years but always saw it as too much of a honeymoon destination to head out there alone as a single woman. But with the help of the reviews here and a bit of research I decided to try Kurumba this year. It was fantastic! Much has been said in other reviews about... more

Travelling with a 1 year old is challenging at the best of times so comfort and closeness was instrumental to us when choosing our resort. Me and my husband have been to the Maldives before and always thought it would be the best place to go with a little one but waiting hours for the seaplanes after an 11 hour... more

We stayed at the Kurumba for 6 nights in November and loved it. We booked and upgraded to a deluxe beach bungalow and the room was lovely. Only downside is that our "beach bungalow" wasnt actually on the beach, was set back in the gardens which was a little disappointing as we had been looknig forward to opening our doors... more

I used to work in the Maldives, so remember Kurumba before the refurbishment.............. The island is still very green with defined pathways to get around the island. The A la Carte restaurants are excellent, favourite being the chinese......... - food, service, atmosphere all excellent. There is the option of upgrading to the A la Carte board basis, whereby you can... more

Arrived Kurumba 3rd November 2008 and was upgraded from Private Villa to Presidential Villa - Wow !. Pool, lounge stairs to upstairs bedroom, bathroom and jacuzzi. Absolutely amazing. Staff were brilliant from day one. If your visit is for a special occasion let them know in advance. Chose the Al a carte dine around option. We cannot express what a... more

We visited Maldives between October 25 and November 3rd. Choosing a resort was not easy as I was going with wife and two kids my little 2.5 year girl and 1.5 boy. We have chosen Kurumba as it looks like a nice resort with a lot of restaurants and facilities and we believe we have made the right choice. The... more
