"Excellent island resort!"

"Beautiful resort surrounded by crystal blue water. Totally unwinding and relaxing. The staffs were very helpful. We enjoyed very much. "

"We had a wonderful stay at Adaaran Club Rannalhi and would definitely recommend it to families and couples alike. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed with a comprehensive and professional briefing by Ollie, who set the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable stay. The stunning white sandy beaches, crystal-clear water, and excellent snorkelling make this a true Maldivian paradise. Whether you want to mingle or find a quiet corner to unwind, there’s plenty of space to do both. The buffet meals at breakfast, lunch, and dinner were a standout — probably the best selection I’ve come across in my extensive travels. The food caters to a wide range of tastes and dietary needs. A special shoutout to Moosa in the restaurant — his warmth, humour, attentive service, and even napkin artistry added a personal touch that made every meal feel special. Housekeeping was also excellent, with twice-daily service that was always prompt and of high quality. A few areas for improvement: the inclusive drink selection is lacking — low-end spirits, frequently substituted brands, only one beer on tap, and cocktails made from overly sweet, pre-mixed syrups. Also, the spa services and excursions are priced far too high for the all-inclusive market segment the resort is targeting, which seems to deter many guests from taking part. Overall, a great resort with friendly service, incredible scenery and outstanding food — just a few tweaks would take it from great to exceptional."

"Como Cocoa is paradise on earth. This is now our favourite resort and we can’t wait to return. The resort is stunning with all rooms sitting over the water in the beautiful lagoon. The house reef is exceptional and the dive staff were knowledgeable and safe. The staff are friendly and professional, often greeting you by name, and are clearly happy in their work. Special mention goes to the chef, who makes the most delicious food and is very accommodating with the menu choices. "
