U alll know maldives always a expensive destination spacialy private islands , so its also one of these but it a liitle a bit cheap only a little a bit . A public island also build very near of that hotel so it decreased its view value mean on one side of that island you can see building and construction noise too . But ocean view is good . One is very bad behaviour of there representative who is standing on male airport at night shift ,he is non coprative non friendly too, Accommodation and spacialy restaurant staff is soo nice spacialy Indonesians ladies, food is good and atmosphere also . The water is not very clean under the water villas, need to improve cleaning becoz whatervilla is know as neet and clean water . Room amenities are very good . Music programme at night also not very good . Its my comprehensive honest review, thanks …

Our eight day visit took place during the Covid 19 restrictions in Feb 2021. As with most of the Maldives the hotel is located on an island where not much else exist. During the Covid era one is not permitted to transfer between islands - however even when permitted the boat transfer fees are pretty high. Hotel boat transfer from the Airport was included in our package – check as prices are high it’s a 45 min ride. We opted for the Half Board meal plan which is ideal as it provides you the flexibility to enjoy various activities at the hotel (nothing is free here!!) and also do the boat tours (shark snorkelling, turtle diving etc). The hotel is nice and spread out – you can walk to the restaurant or request a buggy. The rooms are comfortable and the cottage we stayed in had an open to sky bathroom which was rather enjoyable – as in being one with nature – obviously providing privacy! The tours provided by the hotel are not cheap but then you are captive customer as either you book that or sit and look at the ocean! The food is quite enjoyable and a decent variety is provided though not exceptional. It would be prudent to carry some snacks with you on the trip. A 330 ml beer at the hotel is in the range of USD 11 – but again no option and when you enjoy one (or two!) with the meal it’s a necessary expense. We enjoyed our stay though 5 days would have been More Than Adequate for the Maldives. …

Dear SeaFly2016, Thank you for sharing feedback of your 2021 stay with us at Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives.

Our villas are all designed to allow our guests to enjoy as much of the natural surroundings whilst in the comfort of their own villas. I do hope that you were able to experience some of our recreational activities whilst you were with us. Exploring the seascape especially on our Shark Snorkeling or our Ship Wreck Snorkeling trips is the best way to truly appreciate this magnificent destination.

I had the pleasure of staying on Kandooma Fushi just around Christmas and wish I could go back already. The property is well looked after, very green and clean. It was great to see social distance rules in place and face coverings to be used. We had the most amazing time going on a sunset cruise to see turtles and mantas off shore! The three crew members just knew the best spots and looked after those who weren’t that confident in the water. The little villa with an outdoor shower was very spacious and well equipped with fluffy pillows and a mattress that for once didn’t leave me waking up with a bad back as in most hotels. The selection of food was great and I was quite surprised about the variety of dishes. Especially the Indian and South East Asian choices even for breakfast were a delight. All the staff are so welcoming and always approachable. I could mention every single one of them. On behalf of the kitchen team who work behind the scenes, chef Minh who helped me to discover the most aromatic Japanese dishes at the live cooking station and also Aaditya and Raafiu who make the presentation of dishes and dining experience at the restaurant unforgettable. The beach bar was another great spot to watch the sunset and enjoy some delicious cocktails mixed by a very very attentive barkeeper.…

Dear Carrot745, Thank you for sharing this wonderful feedback of your recent stay with us at Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives. We were all so happy to see that you had a memorable time here; Minh, Aaaditiya and Raafiu will especially be recognised for their efforts as will all colleagues. How lucky were you to be able to see Manta Rays on your sunset cruise - this is the beauty of the Maldives; there's so much marine life to see. I hope that you were able to experience some of the other snorkeling excursions as its a once in a life time moment to be able to swim along side sharks, dolphin and even a ship wreck. Carrot745, it was an absolute pleasure to have you visit Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives and we all hope to have the pleasure to welcome you back very soon. Warm Regards Mark Eletr General Manager

We are a family of 6 and we had a whale of a time. Excellent accommodation and facilities - great food choices and they do their best for fussy eaters - young or otherwise. Rooms are in superb condition though resort is not new and HI has excellent staff - from Managers to restaurant to general workers to housekeepers - all are genuinely friendly and offer fantastic service. Special thanks to Shahid, Bandula, Eddie, Mohd Ali, Rateesh and many more I can’t rem names of…Great diversity of marine life is found just snorkeling off the waters in various spots surrounding the resort - we saw many different varieties of marine fish, rays, octopus, squids and even a baby shark! Do take advantage of the morning complimentary snorkeling trips to various reefs Mins away by speedboat. Activities not to be missed are the whale shark snorkeling, parasailing, and deep sea fishing! Nothing beats the freshest catch for dinner after the fishing trip. Simply delightful. We stayed in both the lagoon facing beach house and the over water villa and both were awesome.…
