Beautiful Stay

Feb 25, 2026 shejutih2022

We had a lovely stay at Cinnamon Dhonveli, staff were incredibly attentive, and the excursions were carried out really well. The restaurants offer good quality food, with lots of options. The menu changed every day during our stay, and the seafood is caught fresh. They really created an atmosphere for us, with 2 free yoga lessons every day. live music every evening, pop up exihbits etc. There's something for everyone. Crystal clear waters on the beach, and you can see lots of sealife if you snorkel, without having to go too far from the shore. We saw a ray! Read less

40th Anniversary never to forget

Feb 24, 2026 N2564IGsteves Burntwood, United Kingdom

Where do I start, from the first Gong to start the holiday on arrival to sadly the last gong when we left this was an unforgettable time. The speedboat transfer was a great experience from Male, and we were then greeted by Nasa who was so kind and checked us in very quickly after a free refreshment of a beer and cold towel. We booked a Beach Bungalow (room 416) highly recommend it, walking straight out on to the beach was like paradise. The Lagoon was crystal clear waters with regular daily visits from baby Reef Sharks and as we called it the resident Sting Ray. As we were here to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary the staff were friendly and certainly made us welcome, with the bed decoration and the highlight of being upgraded to an overwater suite bungalow courtesy or the lovely Ren who was so kind. Romantic dinner on the beach was special. We would like to make a big mention to several staff that really made our celebration special and joined in with our celebration. Reception Ren & Nasa – very friendly and accommodating Beach Bar – Rafiqul - made tasty cocktails Spa – Fani & Ayu – such a relaxing massage thankyou Sunset Bar – Osi – now nicknamed Osi Ozbourne 😀 Koimala Restaurant – Lasaan & Ismail who looked after us at the Koimala Restaurant Rehendhi Lounge - Finally but not least Ahmed the waiter who served us every day, Saha and Khair who made the best Fried rice and seafood Carbonara. Dilshan and Suraj who served us up some great cocktails and spent many an evening having a laugh. Finally, Bhagya who ensured everything met our expectation and ensured we had everything we wanted. Time is needed to mention the staff by name as they all did their best to make the stay special, please pass this review onto each of the staff. Well after this exceptional holiday the time came for the final Gong, we knew we had made friends for life and brought a tear to mine and my wife’s eyes. Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives is a special and a must go to place. Thank you to all the wonderful staff at the Cinnamon Dhonveli for a fabulous holiday and anniversary - you really are wonderful warm and caring people, We will be looking to come back April 2027 for my 60th Birthday for more special moments. Highly recommend Cinnamon Dhonveli Read less

10 days in paradise.

One of the most relaxing and joyful holidays. First of all, great service. The staff was very friendly and helpful. A wonderful beach bungalow; just a few steps away, you could feel the soft sand beneath your feet. The huge bathroom, not completely enclosed below the ceiling, gives you a fantastic feeling of bathing in nature, while maintaining privacy, of course. There is a lot of greenery on the island, which is an additional advantage. The entire area is regularly cleaned. A big plus for the ecological approach and lack of plastic. Fantastic trips, I especially recommend private trip snoorkling & relax, with the opportunity to see turtles and colorful fish, and then relax on a fairy-tale tiny island. Delicious food, everything fresh, very varied cuisine, everyone will find something for themselves, I tried new things every day. I am very impressed with the approach to people with food allergies. My daughter has a severe form of food allergy, after anaphylactic shock, so we carry epi-pens everywhere. Our trips are always stressful for me because the restaurant staff doesn't always have a clue about food for allergy sufferers, despite prior email arrangements. I can definitely recommend this hotel to people with allergies; this time I could truly relax knowing my daughter would be safe. On the first day, I met with the chef to determine my daughter's menu. I am incredibly grateful for the personalized approach to my daughter's diet, and a huge thank you to all the staff. My daughter was delighted with the food. Many thanks and appreciation to the chefs and all the staff, who were incredibly kind and supportive. Read less

A trip of a lifetime - and have never known better staff

Feb 23, 2026 adamsk01 Glasgow

What an incredible holiday we had. Accommodation was stunning, staff were incredible and it was the holiday of a lifetime. In particular, we were exceptionally well cared for by Manoj as our waiter every day - he remembered our usual drinks and often had them waiting at our table when he saw us coming. Khair (one of the chefs) was so kind and friendly. When he found out it was our last day, he told us he'd rustle up a special pasta dish for us - a small act from him but it meant so much to us and made us feel very special. Safa was another chef who I don't think knows how to cook any bad food! Every night his dinner specialty was incredible - particularly his steak. When we left, there was a team of staff with a banner waving us off on the jetty - it's little things they did like this that truly made you feel one in a million. Thank you for everything.
