We went for Christmas and New Year. The food was lovely, lots of choice and fabulous salads. My favourite was the curries. Christmas eve and New Year's Eve they put on a fabulous arrange of food it was incredible! The staff were lovely and friendly. The Spa was incredible. I have had many massages and treatments in my time but these girls were fabulous. Juni from the Spa who I had several treatments with was just a credit to the hotel and Spa. My husband bought me a Spa package for Christmas it was the best gift. Go get some treatments there. Hot stones and Elamis Frangipani ,massage were so relaxing. The snorkelling trips were really good taking you to 3 or 4 different places about 5 mins from the hotel as there is no house reef as such. We saw lots of sharks, turtles rays and lots of fish. Trips ran twice a day and we went everyday. The water villas were lovely and private. We recommend them as apposed to the beach villas as they are not so private and close to where the sea plane land a couple of times a day. It is fun to watch it land and take off though, Management were visible and very approachable any friendly. Would I recommend this island and take the seaplane a 40 min journey if you can its a great experience and the boat takes 2.5 hours approximately. Read less

A wonderful resort with paradise white beaches and turquoise blue colour sea. Well-kept island with beautiful flowers and palm trees. Immaculately clean beaches - cleared every day by the island gardners. We had water bungalows which were well maintained and clean. We loved climbing down the bungalow stairs and straight into the sea for a snorkel every day - spotted turtles, rays, reef sharks and lots of fish. We opted for the Premium Inclusive package which worked out so well. Meant costs were all upfront and we were able to access premium brands, a few activities and a massage each. Definitely worth considering as takes any stress of additional costs away. The staff throughout were attentive. It felt like a very relaxed island. Main reception were always friendly and receptive to questions. The quality of the house white was okay, not exceptional but fine for the time we were there - as to be expected in the Maldives - with a pricer extensive wine list available if you wanted it. We didn't feel it was worth it though - quite happy with the local ice cold beer and other drinks on offer. All in all, a lovely break in paradise. Thank you. Read less

We returned to Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa because of the wonderful experiences we had during our previous visits, and once again, it exceeded our expectations. It truly felt like coming back home. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our waiter Irufaadhu and his colleague Layaan for their outstanding service. Their friendliness, warm smiles, and constant availability made every meal even more enjoyable. They always went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and well taken care of. A special thank you as well to Sous Chef Chaturanga for all his help and flexibility with our meals. His professionalism and willingness to find solutions made a big difference for us. We are also very grateful to Thara and Harshani, whose kindness and cheerful attitude made breakfast a true luxury every morning — it was always a pleasure to start the day with them. And of course, we don’t want to forget Bandara from the kitchen, who was always there to help us at the buffet with great dedication and care. It has been a real pleasure to be back at Cinnamon once again. The people are what truly make this place special, and we are already looking forward to returning again to Cinammon. Read less
