Short stay in Maldives

31 Mar 2025
Exceptional Service and a Breathtaking Experience Our stay at this beautiful resort in the Maldives was truly unforgettable, and one of the highlights was the exceptional service we received—especially from Mr. Bala at breakfast. From the moment we arrived at the restaurant, he welcomed us with a warm smile and outstanding hospitality, making sure that every detail of our meal was perfect. Mr. Bala went above and beyond to accommodate our preferences, remembering our favorite drinks and ensuring that everything was prepared exactly as we liked. His attentiveness and friendly nature made each morning a delightful experience. Whether it was recommending the freshest tropical fruits, ensuring our coffee was just right, or simply engaging in friendly conversation, he truly made us feel valued as guests. The breakfast selection itself was outstanding, offering a wide variety of fresh and delicious options, from traditional Maldivian dishes to international favorites. The stunning ocean view from the restaurant added to the experience, making every morning feel like a dream. The combination of the resort’s luxurious setting, high-quality food, and exceptional service from staff like Mr. Bala made our trip truly special. We highly recommend this hotel and look forward to returning in the future! #Maldives #FiveStarService #LuxuryTravel #ExceptionalHospitality

Menorable experience

31 Mar 2025
We stayed in beach as well as sea view water villas. Both rooms were clean and well maintained. Views from the water villa were amazing. Hotel also had good veg Indian options during breakfast and dinner which ensured our food requirements were taken care of. The staff was very helpful and guided us whenever required. Bala from the sunset bar helped us with some pictures and was very welcoming. The highlight of our trip was the snorkeling edperience. Marine life around the hotel was amazing and the hotel provided free snorkel equipment and also arranged for a reef snorkeling trip. Additionally there are variety of fishes in the swimming areas near the property. Also saw baby sharks in the night near the water villa areas. Dawood helped us with amazing pictures during our shark snorkeling trip and we were lucky to swim with the sharks. We did the lagoon scuba diving as well which was a good first time experience but with little marine life in the lagoon. Sometimes the buggy waiting time was too long. Overall it was a memorable experience and would definitely visit again

Kandooma Resort — A Place That Feels Like Home

28 Feb 2025
Some places are beautiful. Some places make you feel welcome. And then there are places like Kandooma—where both come together so effortlessly that you don’t just visit, you belong. My partner and I came with high expectations. We left with something deeper. The warmth of the staff, the care in every detail, the feeling of being truly looked after—it’s rare to experience this level of hospitality. One moment will stay with me forever. We had planned a shark dive, something I had dreamed of for years—to face my fear and finally see them up close. But I got seasick on the way there. Without hesitation, the crew brought me to a nearby island, where a family member of the crew took care of us, carried my bags, and even invited us for lunch. When we returned to Kandooma, the activity manager, Dimu, and the hotel doctor were already waiting. They checked on me, gave me medicine, and made sure I was okay. This kind of care wasn’t an exception—it’s how things are here. Every meal was outstanding, with fresh, thoughtful dishes. Every staff member was kind, professional, and intuitive. They see what you need before you ask. The activities made the stay even more special. Surfing was possible, even in February. The Perfect Wave team, which includes Steve, Minerl, and Courtney, made the experience unforgettable. Steve is pure energy—charismatic, knowledgeable, and passionate about getting everyone into the best waves, making sure every surf session is fun, safe, and suited to each surfer’s level. Minerl brings a calm steady presence. And then there’s Courtney, whose yoga sessions added another layer to our stay. She is a truly gifted instructor, balancing challenge and relaxation with ease. Paddleboard yoga was playful and surprisingly tough, while sunrise yin yoga felt almost surreal. The ocean stretched out endlessly, the sky turned soft pink and deep red, and a baby shark swam by. Another highlight was getting my Open Water Dive PADI certification. My instructor, Nick, made the experience smooth and enjoyable. I felt well taken care of, and his clear, patient communication made every step feel manageable. He encouraged me to push through and master each skill with confidence. Shawn and Luka were also incredibly supportive—always kind, helpful, and full of positive energy. We shared plenty of laughs, and the vibe throughout my dive sessions was amazing. We left feeling full—not just with good food and great experiences, but with the sense that we had found a place we truly connected with. Kandooma is more than a resort. It’s somewhere we’ll return to, again and again.

Disabled but still enjoying a perfect holiday

31 Mar 2025
I twisted my foot badly the day before I arrived. I called up the resort, informed them of my injury and booked a wheelchair for my stay. All the staff there were very helpful! And thank God they have this buggy service; otherwise, wheelchairing in the sand is another natural disaster : ) . I had my breakfast sent to my room on my last day here and Bala delivered my 🥞 just on time! Thank you Bala! Also, Safilo and Nadheem were helping us to arrange for the snorkeling trip. The weather was exceptionally nice after the planetary alignment turbulence and I just cannot enjoy enough the perfect Maldivian Sea at the swimming pool! Forgot about my foot, just get a tan!
