We just returned from a magical stay at Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa Maldives, which we chose as the destination to celebrate my 70th Birthday. I can honestly say the team went completely above and beyond to make this milestone birthday incredibly special and unforgettable. The hospitality here is entirely unmatched, giving us true 5-star treatment from start to finish. A massive, heartfelt thank you goes out to our room cleaner, Naseer, for the absolutely stunning birthday bed decoration! It was such a beautiful, creative surprise that made our stay feel deeply personal and celebratory (see the attached photo!). The culinary and restaurant team completely blew us away. A huge thank you to Ricardo the Food Manager(who took exceptional care of us on 9/10/2026), and a very special thank you to Sous Chef Chathuranga Liyanage for his incredible care and leadership in the kitchen. Along with the amazing cook Budikka (who made the most delicious, perfect puris!), they went completely above and beyond when I was feeling under the weather to prepare special, tailored, bland meals for me with the utmost care. Our wonderful waiters, Lammaah and Irufaadh, provided flawless service at every single meal, and Hurnsh (the lovely older gentleman with glasses) was so warm and welcoming every single day. We also want to give a special shout-out to Sandun in his vibrant Hawaiian shirt for his fantastic energy, and the wonderful team at the reception desk for making our birthday trip seamless and entirely stress-free. Finally, a huge thank you to the hardworking gardeners who work tirelessly every day to keep the entire island in absolutely pristine, picture-perfect condition. The genuine etiquette, kindness, and dedication of this team toward their customers is beyond anything I have ever experienced in all my travels. Thank you all for making my 70th birthday holiday so deeply special—we will never forget you! Read less

Outstanding. Words will never do justice, but here's the gist: Service excellence, on a whole new level. We felt like VIPs. We stayed on the Platinum island, in a private beach bungalow. Totally worth it. If you want a more lively atmosphere, you can stroll over the bridge to the main island any time. This is paradise on earth: sparkling white sands and crystal clear, shallow waters. Exquisite! Every single team member works extremely hard to ensure your stay is memorable, and every guest we spoke to is definitely planning to return. We will be making this resort our regular holiday, for sure. We can't remember every staff member's name, but the ones who stood out for us are: Ricardo, the Hospitality Manager; Siti and the other lovely reception staff; Idja (sorry for wrong spelling; she took us on an amazing Island Hopping tour and she's full of knowledge & funny stories!); the housekeeping staff; the ladies who rake the beach every day and keep it clean; the fab guy who transported our luggage; LAYAN, who met us at the airport and ensured a smooth transfer; the outstanding chefs in the Platinum island restaurant who create masterpieces and world cuisines daily: Kelum, Charuna and Mahil; the attentive servers in the same restaurant who go out of their way to ensure we are well taken care of: Riyaz, Maishan, Keerthi and Hana; and the bar staff who make delicious cocktails with a smile: Akalanka and Nandana. We only visited the other restaurants and bar a couple times; but every staff member was amazing. Service with a genuine smile. We feel very blessed to be here and very much look forward to returning. Special mention must also go to the incredible Dive Centre guys and the guys who took us out on the daily snorkeling trips and other boat ouutings. We thoroughly enjoyed the Cocktail Cruise -- especially the unexpected surprise of a large school of dolphins; they put on an amazing show of pirouettes and spinning jumps, etc. Fabulous! We are going to the spa today, as we have heard from other guests how professional and wonderful the massages are. All in all, the best holiday one could hope for or dream about. Thank you to all!
