This is the most beautiful location we have ever been to. Top that off with the greatest service we have ever experienced and amazing food and it is starting to describe the holiday experience we had. The location is stunning, atmoshpere is relaxed and even when the island is at capacity, it doesn’t feel busy. The rooms were amazing and very comfortable and if you need anything, the staff respond quickly to take care of any issues you may have. We stayed in a beach bungalow and water villa as part of out stay. The resort it quiet but if you go to bed early, we recommend a water bungalow as the wind does carry noise from the bar quite far. Staff of note: Layaan and Irufaadh we excellent, always smiling and helpful, a pleasure to be around. Fulhu was our main waiter and he was THE best waiter I have ever had. He knew what we wanted before we even knew and delivered it promptly. He went above and beyond for us and made our stay feel so special. Food: Chatarunga, Thara, Chintaka were incredible, really taking care of us when it came to food. My wife had special dietary requests and Chatarunga never failed to deliver. They were friendly and always so welcoming at every meal time. The food was high quality and varied. We stayed 11 days and never tired of the options. Our room staff also did a great job keeping it clean and the laundry service we highly recommend and is great value. Najla was lovely and very helpful, taking us on a nice relaxed tour of the Adult only side so that we could consider it for our next booking. We went out on the free snorkling boat trips and saw amazing corals and fish, in addition to swimming with wrays right off the beach. The views from everywhere on the island are breath taking, the weather was great and a couple of days it rained, but it didn’t last long. I also know people who went out of season and they only had a few short rainy spells too, so if your budget doesn’t reach to peak season, you should consider other times of year too. I would absolutely recommend Cinnamon Hakura Huraa to everyone. Read less

This is our second visit as we were so impressed with the place in March 2025. This year has been as good again with excellent service and food in the buffet restaurant, with our fantastic servers ‘Shifaz’ (Shiraz with an ‘F’) and ‘Dai’, they never let our glasses run dry once. Nice to see Fairooz from last year. This time we had a room on the Sunset side of the water villas, which was nice but if cost was an issue, stick with the sunrise villas. Our room Was kept spotless by Maroof. We were a little apprehensive about booking in the rainy season, but fear not the weather was fantastic every day and considerably better than March 2025, where we had rain 4 of our 12 days. We managed to get onto the Sunset Cocktail Cruise, which represented great value at $60 for us both, the crew kept us entertained and we were lucky to have Nurse sharks follow our boat. Try not to drink too many ‘God Fathers’ If you are looking for a chilled holiday, with low key entertainment, great food and staff, this is the place to visit. Chuck in twice daily free snorkel trips and lovely marine life you can’t go wrong. Highly recommended. Read less
