The stay at Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa – both in the Water Villa on the main island and on Platinum Island – met expectations in every respect. The overwater villas offer high comfort, full privacy, and an excellent view of the lagoon. The accommodation standards, cleanliness, and amenities are of a very high level. Platinum Island provides additional intimacy and exclusivity. The staff are polite and responsive to guests’ needs. The restaurants offer high-quality dishes and a wide selection of meals. The beach area and lagoon are ideal for relaxation and water activities. Snorkeling is particularly appealing thanks to daily trips, twice a day, to nearby reefs. The resort delivers a high standard of service and a peaceful environment, ideal for a comfortable holiday. The overall experience deserves a high rating. Read less

Prita I had an amazing massage from Prita at the Mandara spa. Balinese, back, leg and head massage for 60 minutes. What a treat! I felt so much more relaxed afterwards.

Beautiful island. The team here couldn’t have been more helpful when we had an issue with our seaplane transfer. Nothing was too much trouble. The water villa was wonderful plenty of space,amazing views,the steps down to the sea were tricky at first but you soon get used to it. The sunset villa upgrade was definitely worth it as they are in the sun all day. Fish watching through the glass floor is a must, we saw sharks,rays,and so many fish through the floor The whole team working on the island always had a cheerful hello, and were always on hand if you needed anything. We went on a shark and a dolphin watching trip both were excellent. The food was brilliant every day you’d have to be a very fussy eater not to find something you liked. We last visited 21 years ago the next visit will be sooner. Read less

Absolutely loved this place. The food was amazing with a good variety of various dishes. I’m a vegetarian and this hotel has so many options.
