What can you say about a perfect place? It certainly set the bar way up higher than anywhere else we have ever stayed. The Maldives themselves are sensational, but with so many resorts to choose from we were bewildered. A lot of research later (and thanks to all the Tripadvisor reviews) we decided Centara offered everything we were looking for.... More

Our family of four returned from Centara 10 days ago and I have been missing the place so much that it is only now that I have been able to write about it. Having been to the islands 10/15 years ago when I had money not photos in my wallet, we were a little worried how family friendly the resort... More

My husband and I had been to Centara for our honeymoon in Jan 2011 and it was the best experience we had. My husband had booked the resort through a travel agent in Maldives. The agent was at the airport to receive us and gave us our booking details etc. We were directed to our resort's waiting room where we... More

Had a superb stay here. Gorgeous island, with extremely helpful and friendly staff. The reef and snorkelling were excellent. We payed for the "Island Club" upgrade and would definitely recommend this. The cocktails, spirits and juices were far superior and the restaurant was lovely, an air conditioned oasis. The staff here were charming (as all the staff were). You also... More

This was my 6th visit to the Maldives, I have stayed at a variety of different resorts and classes to put the review into context I'll name them (Meeru, banyan tree, reethi beach, biyadhoo, lily beach)

We picked the centara grand over this Easter period mainly due to the all inclusive aspect but also it's reputation as a child friendly resort.... More

The resort is beautiful, the food excellent and staff extremely friendly. Special thanks to our waiter Ahmed who was just great. Thanks also to Ana who looked after... More

This was our third time at Centara. It was almost like coming home. We got the same sunset villa like last time (61, very well located to see the sunset from the deck, by the way we enjoyed the sunset every evening from the Aqua bar with sunset drinks from Bipu and his team). The key strength of this resort... More
