I'll start at the beginning! It was our first time in the Maldives, and so we spent a fair amount of time researching resorts that matched what we were looking for: All-Inclusive, tranquil, clean with good food and service. Was also looking for a relatively seamless transfer time to the resort after a 10hr flight from London.||This brings us to Coco Bodu Hithi. On paper it ticked all the boxes, and the reviews on Tripadvisor reaffirmed the booking. Super simple speedboat transfer (40ish mins) from the airport, and were greeted by our wonderful host, Gowtham. The team took our luggage from the boat directly to the room (Beach Villa with Pool). The room was incredible. Exactly as it's shown on the website. It was enormous, with direct access to the white sandy beach from one end, while the other end opened onto a small decking, with an inviting black tiled pool and large sun-lounger for 2. The room has excellent A/C, as well as 2 ceiling fans. It's meticulously cleaned twice per day, with fresh towels and beach towels provided daily. ||Food was great and always varied. I personally enjoyed the curry dishes which always tasted fresher and more authentic than our local curry house! The fresh grill at lunch and dinner consisted of tuna, white fish, chicken kebabs, steak and more. Tons of fruit, salad bar, and so on....it was all great. Massive thanks to Didi who looked after us every day, as well as out Maitre'D, Joy who was so lovely. We also ate at Stars and Aqua (recommended for the location).||At sunset, the Latitude Bar was a great place to hang out, enjoy a cocktail while the House DJ plays music that fits the vibe. Another big shout out to Venky who made sure our drinks were never empty. ||The house reef is incredible, and regularly swam/snorkeled with the "local" Hawksbill Turtles and Nurse Sharks, as well as hundreds of different fish. You can get the equipment (free) from the Dive Center.||I could go on, but I'll stop here. To conclude, it you want to be on the beach, go for the Beach Villa. The Island villa doesn't have access to the beach. The Escape Water Villas looked stunning, but for my wife and I, the beach is an important consideration. ||Thanks Coco Bodu Hithi - we absolutely loved it. We'll be back!
