6/10 Good

Nice property, the staff were very pleasant. The general quality of the food was not great, though after informing staff they specifically cooked my meals which was appreciated. Food is expensive, drink is expensive, $6 dollars for a 260ml of regular cola is too much. There is no alternative to what’s on the Island. If they want to charge those price the quality of the food needs to be good.

4/10 Fair

I want to take the time to address a very unpleasant experience that I encountered during my time at Kurumba. My fiancé and I had visited Kurumba from April 6th to April 10th of this year. When we previously visited Kurumba in 2022, we had the best time and it was the reason why we came back this year as well. I want to point out that Maldives consists of many beautiful and exotic islands and other options as well that we could have chosen, that could have also been cheaper. Regardless of knowing that, our heart was set on Kurumba. We paid the heavy prices of staying at Kurumba only to leave with the most embarrassing time. On April 9th, my fiancé and I had visited the outside bar that is located in front of the room 173, we wanted to have a couple of drinks and have a great time on the beach. The bar server's name was Pinka I believe, upon arriving at the bar we noticed that he was not welcoming at all. I decided to order a Pina Colada, and told him that I want it to be sweet. He replies back and states "It is already a sweet drink". I disregarded his comment, we got our drinks and went into the water. We came back for another drink and again I ordered a Pina Colada and told him that I would like extra coconut cream, he replies back and states "Coconut cream has a lot of sweet and fats which you shouldn't be drinking, you should be drinking less sweets" while stating this he was looking at my body and indicating that I am fat and lecturing me about my body weight

10/10 Exceptional

1. Less than 15 mins via easy boat transfer from the main airport, which is fantastic after longhaul travel with small children. 2. Beautiful small island exclusive to the resort with wonderful beaches all around. Lots of space so that, even when fully booked, the beach is never croweded. 3. Friendly and efficient staff who get things done with no fuss. Houskeeeping and gardening staff are really effective and do and exceptional job in the background. Front staff offer excellent suggestions on requests to make most of the stay. Snorkeling gear is available for use at no cost. 4. Fantastic gardens throughout the island. The staff really care for the plants and trees, making it truly feel like a tropical paradise. 5. We stayed in a Beach Villa, which had all we need for a luxury stay, with a private pool, outdoor shower. 6. The main buffet restuarant was generally okay, typical of big resorts, with friendly staff. There are other bettwr dining options if you want variety, but at added cost and some pre planning. Note: Be mindful that, being an island close to the main city, some rooms have a 'city view' of the developing Male, making it feel less like postcard Maldives. The staff are helpful to make sure you book the right room for you. You will also hear the buzz of departing aircraft big and small. Just ignore it if your can. For us, the convenience of proximity to the airport, the beauty of the island, bungalow and staff outweighed these not so great bits.

10/10 Exceptional

The closest island to the main airport and only 10min by boat to the island from the airport. Tranquil and beautifully presented island, which staff take care of daily. Staff have been well treated - as some staff have been there for 30 yrs. If you want peace you can have that, if you want to interact with other humans you can too. Varied and diverse dinning options - perfect
