    We just had a fantastic week at the Cinnamon Velifushi ressort. We, a family of five, had two sunset water bungalows next to each other. The bungalows have a nice terrace and a beautiful interior. They are greatly located at the edge of the reef with direct access to an unbelievable underwater fauna. Naavee made sure the room was always in perfect condition. The stay felt like a week in paradise. The whole island with all its facilities and amenities is beautifully arranged, and personnel is truly committed to provide outstanding services. We booked half board, which turned out to be a good choice. Three meals of this quality would simply be to much. The kitchen provides a great selection of delicious food. When we mentioned that our youngest has a serious peanut allergy, sous chef Mohamed Raaji gave her special attention and personally served her special food for each dinner. Our waiter Ali was very pleasant, and he always made sure we had everything we needed. The highlight each morning was the pancakes and crepes made by Senura, always with a smile. Other things we enjoyed very much were yoga sessions provided by Malvika, and treatments at the Mandara spa by the spa manager, Nia, Lia and other employees. We would love to come back one day.
