We love coming to Kuredu and always stay in the Sangu waters villas. We love the laid back environment of the Sangu resort and the peaceful nature of the island. Although it is one of the bigger resorts it never feels busy and it is possible to walk round the island and see very few people except in the main pool area. The pro divers dive centre is fantastic whether you are a beginner or a qualified diver, laid back but professional with fabulous guided dives everyday. Thanks to Lara, Tina, Juergen, Marc, Fabi and Thasleem for some truly unforgettable dives. Thank you to Dev for keeping our room spotlessly clean and surprising us with towel art, Ali our waiter at the Sangu resort who always made sure we had a great table and a constant supply of drinks and the whole team who make sure we always come back. If you’ve never been before bring US Dollars for tips and be generous, hospitality is a low paid job around the world and these people work hard to ensure you have the holiday of a lifetime. I hear people talking about tipping 1 dollar to a waiter. This is about 75p and not enough for what they do. For a 10 day stay $300 would allow you to tip your room cleaner and your waiter $10 a day and really make difference and still tip bar staff, spa staff and boat crews with what you had left. The staff work incredibly hard and if your going to the Maldives for 10 days you can surely afford $300, it’s all inclusive so your not spending anything else. Read less

We've had 2 perfect weeks in this beautiful resort, we stayed in the O beach jacuzzi rooms. The rooms are perfectly air conditioned, really comfortable bed and pillows. Our room was cleaned twice daily by Riyaz, he looked after us so well, giving us lots of information about the resort, so friendly and kind. The food was amazing in the O restaurant. I have a nut allergy and Nihal met me on our first visit to the restaurant to discuss allergen advice, he then met me at every single meal to check I was ok and if I had any questions or concerns. I'm assuming that our resort rep Jonathan passed on the information about the allergy which was very professional, he was always available if we needed any advice or help. In the restaurant, Vishal was really attentive and funny, he also had lots of information about the resort. Marutti cooked amazing food on the grill and made Dosa's especially for us when he realised we love them, so kind. We did lots of snorkeling and swimming and saw alot of turtles, rays, sharks, barracuda. I would thoroughly recommend going Read less

We were promptly greeted by our host Sinjo and manager Infaaz then shown to our jacuzzi beach Villa . What an amazing room which led straight onto the beach.
