As soon as we landed at Male we were met and escorted to the lounge to await our flight to Kooddoo…and that was just the start of fantastic service and attention from everyone at the Mercure…our villa (524) was well looked after by Robiul ( great towel and bed art..thank you!), our personal Host Khan ( great job, again thank you)..simply every member of the resort staff were charming and friendly..providing a welcome as warm as the sunshine we enjoyed during our week’s stay. I am writing this in the pool bar waiting for our return flights home and once again everything is being organised for us..no stress! We saw the chefs at the Alita and Vista restaurants and expressed our appreciation for the wonderful quality and variety of the foods on offer during our stay. Now…a particular shout out for Rena ( great massage ), Poppy ( whose delightful smile was worth the trip just on its own), Jo-Ann ( for her lovely interaction with us), Pradeep in the pool bar ( whose smile was only just eclipsed by Poppy’s and who made my husband wonderful rum and diet cokes!) and his colleague Gilbert ( who made almost as many rum and cokes too!) I am sorry I cannot remember every member of staff but each one deserves a huge thank you for making our stay in Paradise precisely that….paradise.
