We stayed with another couple in houses over the water, the place is a true paradise to experience. From the snorkelling in the warm ocean, wildlife, food and a real time to relax. We stayed 10 days which was enough for a good break, though we could have always stayed another 10! From arrival, staff are so helpful and friendly, especially during dinner where waiters remember your orders and bring the drinks without asking. Even upon leaving, we were escorted by Srijana - she was so helpful, friendly and putting the customer first. she was telling us about the upgrades coming to the hotel which makes us want to return, and try more cinnamon hotels - Thank you for a great trip and looking forward to returning! If I were to make a comment on improvements, it would be based on the drinks served. Please use fresh juice for the cocktails, as cordial and other artificial tasting ingredients can lower the quality of the drink. Also, it'd be good if the A La Carte restaurant was put to better use, with evening meals being expensive, why not have more reasonably priced lunches or dinners like a BBQ that people wouldn't mind trying..

My wife and I stayed at Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa for 2 weeks in November and we had an absolutely magnificent time. We stayed on the private platinum island and took the premium all inclusive package. The whole experience was amazing and the highlight has to be all the people who work there:- Hannan, Affan and Keerthi looked after all our needs in the restaurant, constantly topping up our drinks and clearing our plates. Chayana and Auja were a couple of the brilliant chefs, always so friendly and making sure we had all the tasty food we required. They even cooked up the Wahoo fish that I caught deep sea fishing. Nandana and Akalanka were exceptional cocktail makers in the bar and nothing was ever too much trouble. But all the staff were so friendly, making the holiday and whole experience really nice, I didn’t catch the name of our room cleaner, but he was also brilliant. The Spa was fabulous and the Balinese team were delightful There is little to mention about negative points, however points of note:- 1) The snorkelling off the beach isn’t great and so you have to go on the boat trips to experience good snorkelling. There are 2 a day and they are free, so no problems. 2) As part of the premium experience you get one free meal in The Crab restaurant per week. The food is exceptional, but even if you are on the premium all inclusive package, the drinks are not included. 3) There is probably a little too much upselling and I would tone this down, this is especially true of the Spa. But all in all, a wonderful experience and you won’t be disappointed if you come and stay. Read less

The stay at Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa – both in the Water Villa on the main island and on Platinum Island – met expectations in every respect. The overwater villas offer high comfort, full privacy, and an excellent view of the lagoon. The accommodation standards, cleanliness, and amenities are of a very high level. Platinum Island provides additional intimacy and exclusivity. The staff are polite and responsive to guests’ needs. The restaurants offer high-quality dishes and a wide selection of meals. The beach area and lagoon are ideal for relaxation and water activities. Snorkeling is particularly appealing thanks to daily trips, twice a day, to nearby reefs. The resort delivers a high standard of service and a peaceful environment, ideal for a comfortable holiday. The overall experience deserves a high rating. Read less

Prita I had an amazing massage from Prita at the Mandara spa. Balinese, back, leg and head massage for 60 minutes. What a treat! I felt so much more relaxed afterwards.
