I am pleased with everything from staff at the reception and to massage therapists at the spa! I lived in the 16th house, very comfortable to walk on the western beach. Every morning, found a couple of fallen coconuts & with a knife and a screwdriver extracted their juice .... (although you could buy for $ 5, but interesting). Breakfast... More

We spent 2 weeks at the Kandooma, end of Jan - early Feb and cannot think of a bad thing to say about the resort. As we collected our bags we were greeted by Holiday Inn staff and were whisked straight onto the speedboat. The 40 minute journey certainly woke us up after our long flight and we were even... More

The title saids it all. This resort is as close to paradise I have ever been. My wife and I visited the resort with our 3 year old daughter. It was simply spectacular, from the resort amenities, to the staff, to the views around the area. My great experience with this resort started a few weeks before we actually arrived.... More

We really enjoyed our 7 night stay at Holiday Inn Kandooma over Christmas 2011, our first trip to the Maldives. Arrival – Greeted by Holiday Inn staff at the airport, we waited 20mins for another flight to arrive but were impressed with the late night collection from the airport. On arrival at the resort we were taken via the reception... More

We stayed in Kandooma 5 nights around Christmas and we had a nice overwater villa. We really enjoyed our time there and we were impressed how well the resort was managed. All personnel was very friendly and efficient. One of us is on a glutenfree diet and the chef did his utmost to serve us with tasteful, delicious food. A... More

What should have been a small piece of paradise was tainted by poor house keeping not worthy of the hotel's rating. Don't risk ruining your honey moon... - dirty villa and cutlery/dishes with food residues - insistant early morning door ringing despite do not disturb sign and 2 requests to reception - house keeping insisting on specific times to clean...

This was our 6th visit to the Maldives over the last 10 years and this was the best hotel that we have stayed at. So relaxing for both adults and children (aged 7 and 5) alike.
