"All inclusive is definitely worth it, and you can add more if you want additional options on the spot. The island is close to Male so good for those who don't want to travel too far. Only downside I'd say is that some rooms will have obstructed sea view even though it is suppose to be sea view, and for the premium beach villa, the main shower and tub is outdoor, so it was too hot to hair dry without air conditioning - the dryer is attached to the wall.

"Amazing honeymoon, the island itself and everything on it is beautiful. Staff were super friendly and not too forward. I have had bad holidays in the past, places like Egypt where tip culture is aggressive so this was a breath of fresh air. It was nice to tip people without feeling forced in any way
The room was literally amazing, such a beautiful place to be. So clean. Great mini bar which was restocked daily
Swimming pools and beaches are stunning
Food was super clean, the buffet was actually different every single meal. The buffet never repeated itself which also helped make the food always be super fresh and clean. The three other restaurants were also amazing.
Alcohol is included in the all inclusive. All amazing quality as well. Not cheap rubbish
My only two negatives are as follows, the flies in the late afternoon can be a lot sometimes. Although staff explained it was the season they are particularly bad. Not enough to ruin but I wish I knew about before so I could prepare
The other negative was the nearby construction and refuse. Unlike some of the other resorts there is a lot of construction in the near distance. This took away from the paradise feel a bit. I’m sure in time this will improve. This being said, for what this place costs this is absolutely not enough to knock off a star. Like I said the island is stunning and if you do the trips out you get to see the rest of the beautiful Maldives anyway."
"Perfect for families. Great activities onsite and perfect location. Not too far from the airport. Staff were really helpful and the hotel itself was stunning. Great hotel!"

"10/10 — I highly recommend Grand Park Kodhipparu.
Everything about my stay was amazing. From the food to the hospitality, villa, housekeeping, turndown service, buggy service, transportation, and staff, the resort truly exceeded my expectations and felt like a genuine five-star experience.
I also really loved the atmosphere at the restaurants. The music and DJ gave the evenings such a relaxed lounge vibe, which made it nice to just sit, eat, have a drink, and enjoy the resort without feeling like you needed to go anywhere else. The food throughout the property was also consistently very good.
What stood out most was how accommodating the staff were. Any small issue I had was handled quickly and professionally, and the service recovery was excellent. My flight was not until around 10 PM, and because availability allowed, they gave me complimentary late checkout until 7 PM. That made my departure day so much easier and allowed me to actually enjoy my final day instead of spending hours waiting around after checkout.
The staff were friendly and attentive throughout my stay, and overall I felt the resort offered amazing value for the experience, especially for anyone who wants to visit the Maldives and have a beautiful five-star experience without spending an outrageous amount.
Everything was honestly just amazing. I would absolutely stay here again and would recommend Grand Park Kodhipparu every single time."
