The Rooms were great. The buffet was not 5 star with little bespoke cooking as per other resorts ive been to in Maldives.
Male staff mostly seem disinterested and slow. Females are great. Smoke, staff and food was great.
Entertainment bsnds were average to poor . Philippino duo however were excellent.
Management never seem to interact with guests. Seemed aloof .
Lovely location but not really 5 star.
A great resort. Plenty of options for dining, all excellent. Staff members totally focused on providing a 5 star service with a smile. Would certainly go back
A large size resort with various of activities, from diving to parasailing, even kart racing. There a many reefs, in good conditional, for snorkeling. Sharks and stingray could be easily observed from beaches and villas.
The buffet breakfast and lunch are in average standard, while the a la carte restaurants are better than expected.
However, the shuttle service has to be improved, especially on early morning and late night.
We stayed for our honeymoon. Everything was beautiful, clean and perfect. The staff was very very polite, courteous and answered all our requests. 5 star. Highly recommend!
The staff was great and very accommodating. The rooms are nice and clean, they even have a Nespresso machine. We loved the breakfast at Zest, however, the food in the outlets was overpriced and average at best. There are plenty of activities, especially for kids, we loved the live entertainment at the bar at night.
One thing we did not like was the smoking policy. Everywhere we went, people smoked, whether it was at the pools, the bar or the restaurant. Very annoying.
Heaven on earth!
Kind people, tasty and various food options, beach and pool are amazing, staff are amazing, since the moment of landing till takeoff...highly recommended
I think that Kandima Resort is a perfect destination for a week holiday. We experienced how really the Maldivians live and how much they are connect with forrest and sea. Our Sky studio was simply awesome, it was surrounded by nature and next to the beach. The resturants were amazing, food was so delicious. Staff very kind and very warm
Beautiful beach
Lots of activities
Clean and comfortable
Good food and above all great service, especially by very hospitable manager Ankita

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Would have been 5 stars but there was a huge negative for us. We had paid for full board however of the 2 restaurants included one was closed for refurbishment. This meant every lunch and dinner we had to drag our 2 kids (one is 8 months old) to the other end of the island. Can either get a buggy or walk. Depending on how lucky you get with timing this could be 15-20mins on either option. A walk that far with 2 kids prams was unpleasant in the heat too!
The staff in Kandiland were good as was Laizan the bus driver (apologies name likely incorrectly spelt!). He was great with our son.
