AustriaAmazing resort, we loved it, and only have one other resort to compare too, but Kuramathi was really great! The food was excellent, plenty of choice and variety, and especially the pastries were fantastic. The cocktails were really great and there is a lot of choice included in All-Inclusive, which was not the case in a different resort where there were only a handful, but not at Kuramathi. Thanks to them I now have a new favorite cocktail (the Italian Colada).
The staff was attentive and we never had to wait long for anything, taking drink orders as soon as we set down, never forgot an order, always driving us to where we wanted to go with the buggy, and always friendly and accommodating without it feeling forced (again, comparing to another resort).
The house reef was amazing, snorkeling at the jetty, we saw a turtle, plenty of blacktip reef sharks, and even a manta ray once! The other places to snorkel are accessible by channel, which I would only recommend during tide, as they are super shallow. We only tried a few but the channel near Thundi reception had a few manta rays in the afternoon and a lot of exciting things to see! Beware the titan triggerfish though, there are plenty around but if you keep your distance they don't mind.
Island Coffee bar makes great iced latte, but our favorite spot to hang out was the Laguna bar - it has a nice infinity pool, cocktails, and a nice spot to swim with a bit of coral to visit, and access to some channels leading to the reef. Even when the weather wasn't as great, it was nice to hang out in the lungers there or be in the pool.
Evening entertainment was hit and miss but the resident band at the time (Antidote) was really great, amazing singers and great music selection.
Kuramathi also has a great app and a map to guide you around, which can be very helpful.
