General Comments

Having travelled to the Maldives a few times before Kuredu was a big disapointment. Our mistake was booking onto an island that is too big for a Kuredu Island Resort - Secluded break. The levels of accomodation are limited and having upgraded to a Beach Villa - which was ok - the cost in doing so was overpriced. This was the poorest standard of accomodation we have seen in the Maldives. Think of tin sheets for roofing and being on the blusteriest side of the island far from ideal. A route march is the order of the day for meals as some beach bungalows are a long walk from the restaurant. "Like a row of huts in a prison camp" was as one guest aptly put it.

The food while good was distinctly lacking in originality. I like fish but I like it presented in more that just two or three ways. The staff were excellent and had to put up with a fair amount of comparison from others who have been to the Maldives before.

The management have a policy of charging for water (????????) and it is the first all inclusive where cocktails are not all inclusive. Nobody could explain that one to me. They tried to claim this is policy in the Maldives and I pointed out that this is not the case at all. Very disapointing.

For the money Kuredu was a very poor resort as we have stayed at better for less money. While the holiday achieved the relaxation we required we will not return.

For those thing of going to Kuredu - Do your research - Know exactly what you want from a holiday - Look at other islands in the Maldives. Kuredu just does not have that Paradise Feeling which is one reason people go to the Malives as it can be Paradise.
