For a small island it was not packed with people. The staff was amazing and the food/ rooms were great! Definitely visiting again!
Joshua, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

A wonderful first time in the Maldives. Friendly staff. Beautiful surroundings. A few things to note: snorkelling trips will need you to bring your own snorkels, don’t forget to bring sun cream because the gift shop charges $60+ for a bottle of Nivea spf 30, and the food is good but the meals are the same/similar each day. The gift shop is expensive, as are the snorkel trips and scuba diving. Surfing also chargeable and IMO, extortionately priced

A nice property but especially the people taking care of us. Especially to mention Mira at the reception who provided valuable advice, Ahmed in the restaurant serving us always with a smiling face, Rahuman who kept the rooms tidy with a smile and also Sattar making beautiful flower chains. Thanks to all of you. You made our stay a perfect one.

Our goal was to relax and slow down for a few days. Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives was the perfect choice. The staff there is incredible. We would definitely recommend this place and intend to return.
Mike, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Cinnamon was overall okay and average. The excursions that were offered had a person minimum, so they regularly were cancelled. They had planned events on their itinerary but when the time came, the majority were cancelled without notice. The room was clean and housekeeping was great. Shared bathroom areas were dirty along with outdoor dining areas. The wait/kitchen staff were fantastic and friendly but the reception and customer service staff were hard to deal with. The Maldives did not meet our expectations, but the Cinnamon resort itself was in a beautiful location and offered a relaxing stay.

Stayed from the 19th for a week. We've had the holiday of our life time. Beautiful place and the most important...wonderful people. Especially at the Maakana restaurant ... Thanks to Ash,Lassaan and the rest of the team Can't wait to go back.
