I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the entire hotel team for making my stay so wonderful! ❤️ You know, a hotel is not just about beautiful beaches, turquoise waters and comfortable villas. Above all, it is about the people who create a special atmosphere, take care of their guests and make a holiday truly unforgettable. And I feel so lucky to have met such wonderful people during my stay! A very special thank you to Srijana from the reception team! She welcomed me with such warmth and a genuine smile, gave me a wonderful tour of the entire resort, answered all my questions and did everything possible to make my stay a 10/10 experience! 🥰 She also took some absolutely amazing photos of me that I will cherish as beautiful memories of this trip. It turns out she is not only an amazing staff member but also a truly talented photographer! Thank you for your kindness, attention and for creating such lovely memories! A huge thank you to my wonderful waiters, Nisham and Irufaadh! You guys are simply amazing! Always so quick, attentive and cheerful. My drinks were always served promptly, and you were constantly checking if everything was okay. You are such genuine, kind, polite and helpful people. It was a real pleasure seeing you every day and receiving such wonderful service. Thank you for your hard work and for the care you show your guests! 🙏🏻 A special thank you to the amazing baker, Deshapriya! It was love at first pancake! ❤️ I have honestly never eaten pancakes and waffles as delicious, soft and fluffy as yours! Every morning, I looked forward to enjoying these treats. They were so incredibly delicious that I even asked him for the recipe, and he kindly shared it with me. On top of that, he prepares everything so quickly! Thank you for your golden hands, talent and for making my mornings so much sweeter. Now I have a very high standard for all other pancakes! 🥞 I would also like to thank the gentleman who takes care of cleaning the beach (he was always wearing a green T-shirt). Unfortunately, I don’t know his name, but I really hope this appreciation reaches him too. I asked him to take a video of me against the beautiful scenery, and he kindly agreed. Not only did he help me, but he filmed it so professionally that the footage turned out absolutely amazing! Thank you for being so helpful, kind and for not turning down such a small but meaningful request. 🙏🏻 I truly hope the hotel management will recognise and appreciate these wonderful team members. Each of them, in their own special way, made my stay unforgettable. I am leaving with much more than just photos of turquoise waters, beautiful sunsets and memories of the Maldives. I am also taking home the warmth and happiness I felt from meeting such wonderful people. Thank you all for your hard work, sincerity, kindness and love for what you do! It is employees like you who make guests want to return to this hotel again and again. With love and heartfelt gratitude! ❤️ with love from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 Read less

Set the bar high! Stepping off the sea plane and onto the island was dreamy. Everyone is so friendly, attentive and welcoming. Checked in with Srijana, was smooth and we were given a tour on the way to our room in a buggy. Staying in a sunrise water bungalow (346) did not disappoint, the room was well maintained and kept wonderfully clean by Adil. It's spacious, airy and well equip including a blue tooth speaker, TV with netflix and other apps available although we spent most of our time watching the sea life through the glass floor, a gorgeous feature, out listening to the waves on the balcony or snorkelling in the reef off the bungalow steps! As others have said the water is relatively shallow, especially a low tide, but ample enough to manage to see the sea life and the occasional reef shark! Water shoes are a must, as the coral is sharp, flippers are free to use from the water sports shop from day one until the day before departure. Equally if you prefer deeper waters, there's a free one hour snorkelling trip at 10am and 3pm daily. We also paid to do the shark and dolphin excursions, both of which did not disappoint. Wandering along the boardwalk was looking at the Sealife on route to the restaurant was magical and never got boring, there we were greeted and allocated a sea view table for the duration of our stay was a perfect touch, we were looked after wonderfully by Safwaan. The bar area is well maintained and the staff, especially Irufaadh, who went above and beyond, including joining in with the karaoke night at the guests request. The only small annoyance is the only certain drinks are available on the inclusive menu and premium seems expensive for what's included in my opinion. The entertainment is adequate, comprising of live singers, karaoke, DJ, a movie night, local dancers and if you're looking for a busy entertainment schedule this is not the resort for you. The vibe is chill, the dress code is relaxed, although you can dress to impress if that's your thing. The only negative was having to leave the tranquillity of the island and return to normality. Honestly don't think twice about booking this dream resort, we would highly recommend it! Read less

Food is great, with an excellent awareness of allergies etc. we stayed in the over water bungalow and having the glass floor was amazing. This was the most amazing place and all staff felt like really close friends by the end of the trip….. Special mention for Irushad for taking care of our room and for all the extra touches …. Raufa, Sandun and Rumesh in the restaurant who looked after us so well, and the cake was amazing…… Also Magic and the team at Dive and Sail…. Thank you for some breathtaking trips. This is an exceptional place and we hope to return very soon….. Thank you Cinnamon Hakuraa for a truely magical holiday x Read less

The most gorgeous week, wished I'd gone for 10 nights which is unheard of for me. The water bungalow was stunning, We were on sunrise side, loved laying on the balcony watching the fish go by and the stunning views. The room gorgeous, bed lovely, well equipped. Our cleaner Humaidh was amazing, he spoilt us so bad. Even gifting us a gorgeous painting when we left. Lammah was our waiter at meal times, he was brilliant, never let our drinks run out. The spa was excellent, I had full body massage and a anti wrinkle facial. It was gorgeous, I think Tera looked after me, thank you so much. The food, there was always something good to eat and I am the fussiest eater. I really enjoyed the variation. Take a look around and get your bearings as there's so much sometimes you realise you've missed a section. Oh and the deserts and beautiful and so pretty. We upgraded to premium, I think this is going next month and it will be all one, for us, it was worth it. I like to have what I want and not think about it. We had a gorgeous meal at Coral, a beautiful experience and they made us a lovely anniversary cake too. We went on dolphin safari and shark watching. Both incredible. The snorkeling is fabulous, I preferred the shallow reef trips as scared of the sharks ha, but from water bungalow was brill saw some pretty big sharks and an incredible aray of fish, even massive stingrays On a clear night you can see the milkyway, its truly stunning. A note as read a couple of crazy reviews about the sand and coral lately. There is live coral outside the water villas when you swim out and its incredible. Everyone says bring beach shoes as sand is sharp due to the coral, but it makes it no less beautiful. Its out of this world. The sea is like a bath. The gym is good for what you need and very quiet. If you are wondering if to book, don't hesitate its pure paradise, I've been all over the world and I think i can say this is my favourite so far. Read less
