Universal Resorts in North Male Atoll from NZ$442

"Very nice property. Great customer service. Loved the sunset over the water villa. Their Spa is a must visit. The spa personnel is very knowledgeable. We had the best massages. Went there twice for couple massages. Snorkeling was awesome. We also kayaked most of the days which was a blast. The island is close to the main land which has its ups and downs. It’s easy to get there by boat but very close to all the industrial work zones. Nice experience in general. We enjoyed our time."

"Unfortunately my wife had a fall, broke her arm and required hospitalisation and surgery. The staff of the resort were fantastic, supportive and so caring. The resort is immaculate and has everything one could want from an island holiday in paradise. While the resort is of a high standard and maintained, the building safety standards are well below those in Australia. However, this is consistently the case with most properties in many countries, so watch out for the tripping hazards! Having said that, this is a wonderful resort with outstanding staff."

"Beach was lovely. Unfortunately too many mosquito and sand flies, even in the room despite treating the room. Food choices very limited and not ideal if you are fussy or have dietary requirements. We moved to another hotel after 7 days and couldn't bear the same food and the amount of bites any longer "

"Exelent and beautiful. Staff were very friendly and helpful."

"Nice property staff were good but had to ask for all the extras we got free with our booking"

"Great experience. Only let down was the drinks choices for the all inclusive. More choice of beers & wine, and no sparkling choices at all"

"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."

"Was a wonderful trip, no complaints what so ever. Wonderful resort, friendly staff and tasty food."

"A Tropical Paradise with Unmatched Hospitality ​Our stay at Centara Mirage Lagoon Maldives was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, the beauty of the resort was matched only by the incredible warmth and professionalism of the staff. ​While the culinary offerings across the entire resort were excellent, a special mention must go to Suan Bua. This Thai restaurant truly stands out—not just for the delicious, authentic flavors that transported us with every bite, but for its beautiful and serene atmosphere that makes for an unforgettable dining experience. ​The level of service we received was truly world-class, led by Tommy, an excellent restaurant manager who ensures everything runs seamlessly. The entire team is a credit to the resort, specifically: ​Nae, our waitress, who is incredibly beautiful and charismatic, making every meal feel like a special occasion. ​Chi, who defines professionalism with his attentive and expert service. ​Dele, the photographer, who has a fantastic eye and captured our memories perfectly. ​Overseeing this exceptional operation is the General Manager, Anastasia. She is an amazing leader—deeply professional, attentive to every detail, and incredibly friendly. It is clear that her dedication to guest satisfaction filters down through the entire team. ​If you are looking for a resort that combines stunning surroundings with a team that feels like family, Centara Mirage is the perfect choice. We cannot recommend it highly enough!"
