I visited for 6 nights for some winter sun. Pure peace and quiet. Great food, all the staff very accommodating. There is a resident sting ray you may spot while snorkeling. Very well disguised in the sand. Shout out to Riyaaz, Affan, Hannah and Keerthee for making my stay a great one

Only regret: not the best place to see manta’s or whale shark. A lot of reef sharks, turtles, stingrays, make up for a lot. Read less

Our stay at Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa was very enjoyable, and overall we have very positive impressions. The resort is beautifully located, well maintained, and offers a calm, relaxing atmosphere-perfect for a holiday. Special thanks go to the staff. The waiters were extremely kind, helpful, and always smiling, a special Shifaz. I would also like to especially praise the lady who prepared the sweet breakfasts - Thara- everything was fresh, delicious, and made with great care. These small details truly made our stay more special. The resort itself is very beautiful, however, it is worth mentioning that the water near the bungalow was quite shallow, which limited the possibility of swimming. Unfortunately, the bungalow cleaning could have been better, as it felt rather superficial. Despite these minor drawbacks, our overall experience was very good. Great service, beautiful surroundings, and a pleasant atmosphere make this place worth recommending. Read less

This was our seventh visit to the Maldives. Like all the previous ones, this one also had its pros and cons. The island is beautiful, lovingly designed, and well-maintained. The airport reception is well-organized, and the seaplane transfer is seamless. The seaplane lands right next to the reception, where we receive a warm welcome. The staff on the island are also very courteous and helpful. The water bungalow is lovely and comfortable, although the roof is quite noisy when it rains. The access from the bungalow to the sea is rather steep. The shower on the terrace and the corner bed are very pleasant. The all-inclusive package includes daily refills of drinks (beer and soft drinks). The bungalow is cleaned once a day. The food is varied and delicious. We enjoyed it very much. The restaurant staff, like everyone on the island, are very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the all-inclusive package only includes one bar on the island. The selection of included drinks is adequate. Unlike previous resorts, drinks aren't served at the table here (which surprised us at first, but we quickly got used to it and it didn't bother us). The only thing that bothered us was that the snorkeling from the island is really poor. We only went to one spot where there was coral and interesting marine life. I would recommend this resort to anyone who values ​​the cleanliness of the island and the view. However, if you like to snorkel directly from the island (like we did), I wouldn't recommend it. While the resort does offer a one-hour snorkeling trip twice a day, it's not the same. Read less
