Pullman Maldives All-Inclusive Resort

Everything was good but they refused to award me my Accor points because I used trip.com to book. I find this ridiculous

Opportunities for improvement: Rooms 1. consider using small bottles of water that can fit into the bar fridge. Cold water after a hot day is a game changer! Melange 1. Surf and turf: the big prawns and lobster meat were frozen and were not really attractive. After grilling, the meat turned out to be partially soggy, which is a turn off. 2. Suggestion: for the grill, cook to order instead of preparing the food and leaving it under a heater lamp. I.e. lamb cutlets, pork chops, grilled sea bass etc. Freshly grilled food taste better and maintains the high quality. Grilled food left under a heater lamp becomes either soggy or too tough. 3. Same suggestion for breakfast waffles: make to order rather than leave it on the plates ready to go. Examples of great service: 1. Mariana helped prepare a ice bucket of champagne for us even though the honeymoon comment was not originally registered by trip.com and pullman. She was very helpful and remembers what clients say. Top marks and greatly appreciated! 2. All buggy drivers greet upon pick up and some even went out of their way to reverse so we can video manta rays in shallow waters off our villa. Truly deserving of the great service tag! 3. All waiters serving at all restaurants always asks whether we want water to start off. It feels like an SOP but we love it! Consistent and service with a smile! Was truly a great experience and would love to come back again!

We spent 11 nights at Pullman Maldives in two different room types. For the first 6 nights we booked an over water villa with swimming pool and for the remaining 5 nights we stayed in the Aqua Villa. The arrival process was easy. After landing in at 9am, we were on our next domestic flight at 12:30 and on the island by 14:00. Transfers were arranged by the hotel at the time of booking. Upon arrival we were provided an island tour and taken to our villa to be checked in. The villa (523) was HUGE and lots of spacious zones from a glass floor to view sea life to an outdoor seating area x2 and a pool. The bathroom was out of this world next level with two seperate showers (inside and outside) his / her sinks and much more. Our housekeeper Naushad was the absolute best house keeper we have ever experienced. The attention to detail and anticipation of our requirements. Eg we would come back to a hot bath, we would love back to a decorated bed and when we moved rooms he insisted he will come to our new room to decorate the bed. This was in his own time after he finished his workday. Naushad was one of the highest performing staff members on the island and his attentiveness and enthusiasm should go unnoticed. The Aqua villa (308) was an opportunity I would recommend to anyone. One bedroom above water and one bedroom below water. You also have a private pool and an amazing bathroom similar to that of 523 but more of an inside experience unlike the outside bathroom we previously had. The food and all inclusive benefits were sensational. You could choose from three different restaurants and three bars. The food is on a weekly rotation and many different choices. We dined at both Milange and SOUQ oven and alternated. The staff also very friendly and attentive and always had a full glass. On the island itself we had a huge amount of activities available to us including jet skis, snorkelling and other water sports. We also did a guided turtle snorkeling trip which was a fabulous experience. We experienced the spa twice with a massage and also a seaweed wrap. Both sessions made you feel rejuvenated and relaxed. The live singing Rhythm and Soul each night was great. It brought people together who would dance the evening away before heading to dance to the DJ at Saffron Affair. Weather you are newlyweds, solo or family travellers, definitely keep this amazing resort in mind. 100% we will return. Thank you to all the staff and we look forward to our return.

High level service, beautiful setting, beautiful structures and design. Food is mostly excellent, and restaurant staff are highly professional. I cannot, however, recommend the snorkel outings. Staff were rude and unprofessional. the outing was frankly unsafe. Very surprising at such a high calibre resort.

Paradise is the word I would define our vacation at Pullmans on the maledives. If you are a person who enjoys and loves food, you won’t be disappointed. There was so much variety (we were 12 days at the resort) with such a high quality. Shoutout to our Indian chef Mr Krishna who was always super lovely and made our breakfast to one of the best experiences. The staff all over the resort was very friendly. The additional goodies we got from the resort like going snorkelling or fishing were amazing. I could go on and on because everything was exceptional. Thank you for making our honeymoon so special!
