This was our 2nd time on the platinum island and we love it, with only only 20 villas it never felt crowded and we felt most of the time we had this little piece of paradise to ourselves, there was never more than 1 other couple in the pool, there was always plenty of sunbeds available, the view out into the ocean was truly mesmerising, the restaurant never felt too busy, never no queues for food in the buffet, this why we love this place so much but most of all it’s the staff that makes this place so special, the staff remembered us from 2 years ago and welcomed us like old friends so a special thank you to Nandana, Alalanka from the pool bar, Kelham the chef, Aiham and Armani which were newbies to us but were fantastic but a very special thank you to Hannan who served us 3 times a day everyday, always coffee and tea refills without asking, drinks always topped up and genuinely really looked after us, thank you also to the reception staff who gave us a lovely welcome when we first arrived, and for sorting our room request, really very kind indeed Our room attendant (sorry I didn’t get your name) was also very good, always very discreet and polite The weather was disappointing during our stay with lots of rainy days it just goes to show you cannot predict the weather even in the Maldives but we still had a lovely time Just one negative …. I just thought this lovely little island felt a bit neglected since our last time here, we did notice that it could use a bit of maintenance and a lick of paint on the outside of the bar and restaurant areas it’s just looking a little tired, but I did like the improvements made to pool area where the foliage around the pool has now gone and the ping pong table now replaced by the day beds Thank you for another magical holiday Tara & Dan Read less

Returning today from a 10night holiday, We haven’t been blessed by the weather but despite this we have had a fantastic time. The location is idyllic, stunningly beautiful the picture of a tropical island you imagine. We stayed across on the smaller platinum island, it’s incredibly tranquil and nothing is too much trouble. The Villa was luxurious with a short step down into the sea. They are created so you can sleep with the noise of the waves which is lovely when the sun is shining it is however very noisy when the storms hit, a minor down in otherwise great accommodation. The food is great and whilst we have stayed at lots of AI resorts and the buffets can be a bit samey, this was a real suprise with an abundance of great quality food and chefs on hand. The Crab is worth a visit, lovely food and the resort head chef makes an effort to come and say hello and make sure you are well catered for. We ventured across a few times to the other island which is slightly busier but given the 90% occupancy we are told, it’s never really busy and always found somewhere to sit with drinks on hand without a wait. The spa was fantastic and the ladies treating you are very welcoming and professional. As the weather wasn’t great my wife and I had 3 trips and it never disappointed. A final mention to all of the staff who greet with you with a welcoming smile and are only too pleased to help; special shoutout to Nandana at the Vevu bar who never stops. All in all a wonderful time, would love to return and highly recommend. Read less

We had an amazing week on the island, the staff really made the trip as the weather wasn’t perfect. All staff were great but a big shoutout to Safwaan, Srijana & Siti. We appreciate there are hundreds of islands in the Maldives but this one is well worth the visit if you’re looking for an adults only experience.

We spent our honeymoon at Cinnamon Resort, and it was truly the best week of our lives! We have never experienced such a warm welcome, genuine kindness, and outstanding hospitality anywhere else. Every single member of the staff exceeded our expectations. The food was absolutely delicious and offered a wonderful variety, and the cocktails… simply amazing! As for the nature, there is no need for words – from the island itself to the ocean, everything is bursting with life! A very special thank you goes to our housekeeper, Naseer. He is an absolute angel. Words simply cannot express how much we appreciate him. We genuinely became friends during our stay. Also, the day he danced with his team at the bar was by far the best night – the atmosphere was incredible, and the bar was busier than ever! We are leaving with our hearts full of beautiful memories and hoping that one day we will have the chance to come back. Thank you for everything! ❤️ Read less

A wonderful place, we had a couple of days of showers, to be expected but still really hot. The days got hotter and hotter. We enjoyed walking out to the little island past a stingray and lots of little blacktip sharks. Walk along the pier in the morning to see lots of different fish, more stingrays, mantaray and larger sharks. Snorkeling in the lagoon and also the twice daily reef snorkeling trips. The food is 5* and the chefs, and table servers are all amazing. Cannot praise Raufaah, Shifaz and Latifeeth enough, so helpful, respectful and knowledgeable. Our room boy Afey was courteous and always checked if we needed anything. The girls at the spa have magic hands and we actually went twice, they were so good. Not forgetting the bar staff Pratima, Akalanka and Safwaan who would happily bring your drinks to your table or poolside stools. There was snacks available at certain times, we tried to steer clear, we were already over indulging. A holiday in a million. Read less
