I’ll start and end on positives. Perhaps a little critique in the middle.. To begin with, the transfer was by sea plane.

I’ll start and end on positives. Perhaps a little critique in the middle.. To begin with, the transfer was by sea plane. Trans Maldivian Air has a new airport (since we were last here 18 months ago) and while it is new and shiny, it does seem to be organised chaos though eventually everyone got to where they needed to go. Room (water villa) is lovely, spectacular views, staff helpful and nice, plentiful food on offer. Critique bit - snorkelling from the villa is limited though we did see a green turtle, reef shark and eagle rays. Twice daily snorkelling trips were great. Would have been better if they provided a beach towel ( or advised us to bring ours in advance). Food - wide spread, buffet style. Lots of choices though we enjoyed the local food the most. ( I don’t understand people who travel who expect Western food when local cuisine is so good). However, while I appreciate the staff should be catered to as well, I wasn’t sure why I had to queue behind 2 staff members for eggs during active service times). There also isn’t an evening turndown service so getting your beach towels changed (when you are using them during snorkelling trips) is a bit tricky. These are minor things which I think can be easily addressed and shouldn’t take away from the overall superb experience they provide. Special mentions to Advil from Housekeeping (who stole my husband’s glasses to make the wittiest towel construct we’ve ever had! Also to the staff at the restaurant who provided such lovely meals - and in particular Irufaadh and Marshin who looked after us so well. And to the lovely ladies at Manada Spa who were some of the best we’ve encountered. Too many unsung heroes to name but they all worked together and so diligently to give a 5 star experience. Thank you to all Read less

Dian was our therapist at the Mandada Spa on the Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa. She’s a very kind person, and she was very kind and always attentive to how I was feeling during the massage. Trust me, her treatment was really good, I recomend this 100%.
