Property was well looked after, the staff were very friendly, Particularly the team at the dive school. The excursions were brilliant. Food was nice, and the drinks were good. We had bad rain on the first day, and the roof of our room had a small leak. The fridge also wasn’t very cold.

I’ve traveled to several different countries as a solo traveler, and I had higher expectations for Maldives. The service was decent. Some of the excursions were a little overpriced. There was a dirty mop smell near entrance where the mini bar was located. I thought housekeeping would have done something about the smell considering it was very strong. The chef at Tex Mex during the morning shift makes great food according to the menu. When I went back in the evening on my last day to purchase the same meal, the Nachos were completely different from what I had in the morning and it was difficult for me to finish the food (didn’t want to waste it). I did inform two staff members at the restaurant and the waiter asked if I wanted another one and I told her it would still come out the same because of the chef who’s cooking the meal. So all in all I paid for a meal I didn’t enjoy. This was the case for the items in the mini freezer, when I arrived I was told that the drinks in the freezer were complementary. When I went to grab a drink that turned out to be alcohol, I took a sip and it wasn’t good so I disposed the rest of the drink and I told the housekeeper this and I was still charged. In that same freezer I found something that appeared to look like mold on two of the alcohol bottles, and that could have contributed to the dirty mop smell I smelled around that area. I wasn’t aware that I was suppose to get VIP amenities during my stay, it sure didn’t feel like a VIP stay.

Very relaxing. Most staff very nice and accommodating. A few weren’t as friendly. I also noticed they allow garbage to float in the ocean around the shore, which bothered me, but apparently not them. Styrofoam, glass, plastic, wrappers, chips containers, etc. also looked like sewage leaking into water big time along one side of beach. Room also wasn’t too clean and had a lot of bugs. Bedding also smelled a little like previous guests sweat. But what to expect when it’s an island?! Food was amazing! All you could want and more. Very relaxing vibe overall. Thankful there was no loud, blaring music or rowdiness. Felt safe and comfortable. Would recommend!

The whole All-Inclusive experience was incomparable! The Resort location and the Cinnamon staff were both perfect, I had an incredible time! Nasa at Reception helped arrange transport for me to Malé, so I could get the city experience in Maldives, as well as the Island. I will never forget my 30th birthday experience in the Water Bungalow!

As an older adult with knee surgeries, I found the sand pathways to be tricky. There were not many lights so I could not find my way safely to dinner (dark early in January). The boardwalk to my restaurant was under repair. Staff generally excellent, but a few common courtesies were missed here and there. One young man did retrieve my hat which blew off during a wind storm, so I was grateful to him! Spa staff also outstanding -- especially Ita.

From beginning to end, the property makes sure they give you 5 star service! They had a boat waiting for us and a man that took our bags all the way inside the airport when we was leaving. Lyn was an amazing hostess.The food was incredible. The chef really took his time to customize how we liked our food, like our pastas. Also it was all you can eat buffet style, if you get the All inclusive package, which I highly recommend. The bartenders all make fantastic drinks and keep the vibe going. The dinning staff like Sonia and Ibrahim made sure all your needs were met. The pool attendant made cute flower gifts for me at the pool everyday. Also the cleaning man did a beautiful honeymoon display on our bed. The staff is what makes the resort unique. They genuinely want you to have a good time. The water bungalow suite was amazing. The suite was by the reef so you can see tons of fishes, sharks and sting rays. The room had a spa tub and shower to die for. Overall just an amazing resort!
