The customer service is excellent. I unfortunately made an error with my booking and hadn’t got a reservation. The reception team were so kind and went out of their way to assist and make me feel very welcome. The ocean view room is definitely worth the upgrade, as the views of the sunrise is stunning. You can swim in the sea, but need to have your shoulders and thighs covered. I had a swim T-shirt and shorts which were acceptable. Location is fantastic, overlooking the beach with many cafes and eateries close by. It is not possible to eat in during the daytime due to Ramadan, however I was able to have a take out and drink at the beach. The hotel room was beautifully presented and had air conditioning, fan, fridge and all the amenities you would hope for. If I ever have a stopover in Male, I would most definitely come back.

Staff was super friendly and helpful. Thanks to Sumit at the front desk and Ranjit & team up in the 7th floor breakfast & dining area. Selection was delicious with a view of the ocean in the morning. Dinner options really good too, try the kuhlimas Maldivian chili tuna dish for local flavor (Santano, thanks for this recommendation!) And depending on the weather, you can eat either in cooled air conditioning inside or outside in the tropical evening clime. Front desk team coordinated not only airport pick up/drop off service but also rides to the speedboat dock for side trips to and from the resort islands. Thanks so much for all the help with the logistics. The airport is less than 10 minutes away and the city of Male is approximately 20 minutes by taxi. After experiencing the congestion and traffic density of Male, do consider Hulhulmale as a more relaxed environment. There's a food store, Red Wave, just a few blocks away for finding basic provisions. Main shopping street just one block away for restaurants and food stands. (Be sure to eat at Ocean Grand, though, good menu and reasonable prices). Make this your home away from home when coming to Male & the Maldives.

Very convenient to the airport when travelling to the islands if you need to stay before or after your journey. Staff are super friendly and they offer free pick up and drop off airport service

Service with a smile. Top team.

I recently had the most incredible stay at this in the Male.The staff went above and beyond to make me feel at home, offering personalized service that made every moment unforgettable.The breakfast spread was absolutely divine!The room was an oasis of comfort and the breathtaking views from my private balcony were a dream come true. And despite the world-class experience, the price was surprisingly reasonable for such a high standard of service and location. I felt I received exceptional value for every dollar spent.

Nestled amidst the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, the Ocean Grand Hotel in the Maldives is a dreamscape come true. From the moment I stepped foot on the island, I was enveloped by an aura of tranquility and luxury that permeates every corner of this exquisite resort.The highlight of my stay undoubtedly was my overwater villa—opening the sliding glass doors revealed a panoramic vista of the vast sea stretching as far as the eye could see. Waking up to the gentle lapping of the waves against my private deck and the endless expanse of cerulean blue was nothing short of magical. Each sunrise painted the sky with hues so vivid, it felt like nature's masterpiece crafted exclusively for me.Service at the Ocean Grand Hotel surpassed all expectations. A testament to this was an early morning surprise when, having to catch an early flight, I found the hotel staff had gone above and beyond to prepare a breakfast basket filled with delectable treats, fresh fruits, and warm pastries. This thoughtful gesture ensured my day began on the best note possible, even before the sun had fully risen.Speaking of the staff, they were the embodiment of warmth and attentiveness. Every encounter was met with genuine smiles and a can-do attitude. Special mention goes to Ahmed, my personal concierge, whose meticulous planning ensured my stay was seamless and memorable. His local insights added an authentic touch to my experiences, from arranging a star-lit dinner on the beach to organizing a snorkeling adventure amidst vibrant coral reefs.Dining at the hotel's various restaurants was a culinary journey in itself. The freshest seafood, combined with international flavors, created dishes that were both artful and divine. The sunset views from the rooftop bar, paired with skillfully crafted cocktails, were the perfect accompaniment to cap off evenings under the twinkling Maldivian sky.

My friend and I stayed at the hotel Ocean Grand before and after joining a tour. We were very pleased with our visit. The staff is wonderful - professional, friendly, very helpful. They went out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. When we arrived we were greeted by super friendly staff. Everywhere is clean and smells nice. Room was big enough and bed very comfortable. Power from the shower was great. We ate at the rooftop restaurant and food was excellent and staff amazing. You can enjoy the ocean view while eating. The staff couldn’t do enough for us. The last day we had a late evening flight and we were able to get a late check out. The airport transfers made travel easy.

All good

Our stay in Ocean Grand Hotel was amazing. The highlight was to meet at reception Mohan Kumar. He was very kind, proactive, helpful and very professional. We booked our last night in this hotel but the 3rd of January due to the weather conditions speedboat were cancelled to most of the islands in Maldives, so we were forced to stay in Malé and we decide to go by taxi to this hotel and check if it was possible to book a room the same day. Mohan was very efficient and commited to organize something for us, so we are very grateful with him. Also with Sudeepa, Ronit, Kasum who made us to feel at home. In the breakfast we met Ranjith who was very attentive and helpful. Breakfast are delicious and with variety of food. At Dinner we met Santanu, he was also very helpful regarding gluten free options. Our room were very clean and well organized, also had an amazing view of Hulhumale beach. Bed, bedsheets and matress were very comfortable. Also we were very happy with the shuttle bus service, the drivers are respectful and drive in a moderate speed. I hope the hotel take good care of the hotel workers. They do an outstanding work.

Nothing

The property is beautiful. The rooms are very clean and well stocked with essentials. There’s a great mini bar with fresh juice and light snacks too. All of the staff has been incredibly accommodating and kind, especially Aman at the front desk. He always greeted us with a friendly smile and any help we needed— going above and beyond to make our stay truly fantastic. Also, the ocean view is well worth it!

I would say the size of the room/bathroom is a little small. If you have a lot of luggage, it’s a bit of a squeeze/walk around situation. But honestly, not a huge deal. The cleanliness and beauty of the property makes up for it.
