What can I say only WOW! This place is simply stunning . The location is fantastic. We stayed for 2 weeks on the platinum island and I can only describe it as paradise. We are quite seasoned travellers and have never been to a resort where ALL the staff are so helpful and extremely friendly . We celebrated both our birthdays at this time and both occasions were spent at the crab restaurant where the food was amazing as was the fantastic staff who made a special effort on our special days. The food in the other restaurants was equally as delicious and always something for everyone. We did many of the trips available which exceeded our expectations. We will finish off our review with a huge thanks to some of the staff who went above and beyond to make us feel very special. The cocktail masters Nadana and Menaka who always kept our drinks flowing. The staff at the crab restaurant the lovely always happy Rumesh, Mr ding ding Sandun hehe he will know. And the fantastic chef Nilantha who really knows how to cook a great steak. Finally all the staff at the Manzaru restaurant The fantastic chefs Charuna, Kelum and Anjali for keeping us well fed. Our wonderful cleaner Habeeb who decorated our room for both our birthdays Last but not least the wonderful front office manager Ushan , Shalish and the always happy Wilma. Thank you to everyone at the cinnamon for a great , highly memorable holiday . We will be back Read less

We had the most relaxing and rejuvenating massage, with welcome drinks, beautiful smelling oils and Purnia and Anisa gave us the most luxurious treatments. Our Ying and Yang package included foot massage, body scrub and full body massage - highly recommend! Thank you!

We stayed for 10 nights at the end of May, the weather was pretty good just one day's rain. The resort is beautiful we stayed in an overwater bungalow and they are really lovely rooms, comfortable and stylish with good air-conditioning and all essentials. The food was really good with lots of choice and the staff were really friendly and helpful. There is various excursions to avail of that you need to pay for that can add up. The hotel does 2 free snorkeling trips per day but not alot of life were they bring you. The shampoo conditioner is not great bring your own conditioner. We went by sea plane which had amazing views, highly recommend this, only thing it was quite late picking us up and it was a bit of a rush at the airport be aware. There is no house reef here so snorkeling can be hit and miss. If you go here you won't be disappointed negative reviews are just really nit picking anyone who can go to the maldives is indeed very lucky to experience it. The rooms have USB ports but VERY slow, bring your plug. Read less

Fantastic spa treatments at Mandara Spa. The 6 hour couples package was excellent value. Yin and Yang 2 hour treatment was a luxurious and relaxing experience for us to start our honeymoon. Prita and Tera gave us our treatments and were very calming, relaxing and professional. We then had another Balinese massage together before the end of our honeymoon by Arik and Dian who were again brilliant. We would highly recommend. Read less
