Very good.
Pros: Very clean and comfortable . Staff were helpful and the whole thing was very well organised. The outside bathroom was amazing. Big choice of food.
Cons: There only appeared to be waiter service in the bar if you were paying for the drinks and not if you were on all inclusive basis. The sea water around the island was very shallow for swimming unless you went outside the man made wall around the island.

Absolut empfehlenswert und gern öfter
Pros: Einentlcih gibts nichts, was nicht gut war. Wir können Ellaidhoo absolut empfehlen. Die Beachvillas haben sicherlich das beste Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Die Wasserbungalows haben nämlich keinen direkten Meerzugang, was sie zu normalen Hütten auf Stelzen macht und die Aussicht ist bei den Beachvillas und den Wasserbungalows beides auf das Meer. Die Mitarbeiter sind super und der Transport von und nach Male hat perfekt funktioniert. Auch das Buffet ist sehr lecker und empfehlenswert. Was absolut toll ist, ist die Nachhaltigkeit auf der Insel. Es gibt kein Plastik. Das ist großartig. Das Hausriff ist auch absolut sehenswert. Unbedingt tauchen und schnorcheln.
Cons: Es gibt nichts wirklich Negatives. Kleinigkeiten könnten erneuert werden. Der Tennisplatz ist gut bespielbar, könnte aber mal eine Auffrischung gebrauchen. Selbiges gilt für die Tischtennisplatte und die Dartpfeile. Wie gesagt, alles Winzigkeiten und meckern auf sehr hohen Niveau, aber der Grund, warum es knapp nicht für volle 10 Punkte gereicht hat.

Wir waren im Paradies und fühlten uns sehr wohl und können die Anlage und Hausriff weiter empfehlen.
Pros: Eigentlich alles, schneller Check In und Check Out, wenn auch etwas unpersönlich, großes, sauberes und geräumiges Zimmer mit großem offenem Bad, gutes abwechslungsreiches Essen mit guter Getränkeauswahl. Gute AC, gutes Umweltkonzept! Das Hausriff war für uns Schnorchler top, viele Fischschwärme, Rochen, Haie gesehen. Schwimmwesten, Regencapes, Safe im Zimmer. Am Strand gibt es für jedes Zimmer reservierte Liegen, viele Schattenplätze. Alle Angestellten sehr nett und hilfsbereit.
Cons: Der Getränkeservice beim Essen war zum Teil sehr langsam und unaufmerksam, Massenabfertigung, zum Teil sehr laute Abendunterhaltung (DJ), was für uns die Idylle sehr gestört hat.

Pros: De service, het eten is heerlijk bij de waterbungalow (incl. gluten free, vegan) niks is het personeel te veel. De waterbungalow is de woning die je moet hebben met bose boxen. Deze hebben het beste restaurant die prachtig is. Bedankt voor de welkomstdrankje en waterbidon! Mooi waterkoraal en vissen.
Cons: Avondentertainment is leuk maar gasten zijn te saai en doen niet veel samen. Iedereen zit en kijkt. Geen roomservice, gemiste kans. Activiteiten zijn best prijzig maar prima om 3-5 dagen te ontspannen. Ik zou hier niet al te lang blijven. Klein eiland maar genoeg te doen (spa, duikactiviteiten, fitness, tennisbaan, badminton, dart, poolen,etc.) Zelf gezellig maken.

Very nice resort, friendly staff and great location (house reef)
Pros: We had a water bungalow with dedicated restaurant. Stayed for almost 2 weeks, continuous mix of food for lunch/dinner. Staff very friendly (no idea where some reviews regarding uninterested staff are coming from as they are excellent). Bungalow very comfortable, great bed and cleaned twice a day if needed. House reef is amazing, lots to see with diving or snorkling. Option to do manta ray snorkling or diving and whaleshark snorkling/diving. The kitchen and waiting staff are a valuable asset, you have a seat allocation and always the same waiter which works out nice. The staff made our holiday definitely even better! It was also nice to help with the coral re-planting together with the in-house marine biologist to increase coral growth. Everyday shark feeding at 1730 is also amazing to see.
Cons: The all inclusive package was sufficient for us as we don’t drink much alcohol. We had plenty to choose from but not every cocktail or liquor is included which makes it perhaps a tiny bit limiting for some people. Make sure to bring enough cash for tips, there is no way to get extra cash on the resort (no option to charge the card in exchange for cash for example). Limited supplies on the island so make sure you have all your amenities you need. If you want to go diving make sure to check the prices so they do not come as a surprise. Friendly diveschool but diving in Maledives is not cheap, so also the resort diveschool is not cheap compared to lots of other places in the world (additional charge per dive for every used equipment, additional boat fees etc which make it a bit complicated to keep track of). However very friendly and flexible staff.

The food was top class. Delicious South Indian food with vast variety including rare traditional foods. sweets and fruits were awesome. a really nice trip and hoping to visit again.
Cons: There is nothing I didn’t like about the property. The only thing I can say is the distance from male airport to the destination is more than 1 hour by speed boat.

Pros: The staff was super nice and available. Bar tenders and waiters always there when you needed them! Fish everywhere even if the water was not always clean from seaweeds or minor plastic objects. Appreciate the low ecological impact policy of the resort, very smart and long term solutions.
Cons: The sea was not always super accessible due to a very aggressive trigger fish. All inclusive formula not including a lot of extras on top of beverages.

Pros: This is paradise. Food is amazing. Beach bungalow has everything you might need. Lots of privacy. 3-4 cocktails I could drink for the rest of my life. Sustainable way of living. Staff is just incredible, not only professional and helpful, but also super friendly and funny. We had the best honeymoon we could ask for. Thank you everyone at Ellaidhoo, especially Unaish at the restaurant for taking good care of us and entertainment every night. :)
Cons: Nothing to do with the resort, but be aware if you have sensitive ears (for example, my husband has had an infection in the last year, so he got an infection now) and go snorkeling, clean ears carefully with fresh water after to avoid infection. We got the medical help we needed really quickly though.

Pros: Il personale è davvero gentilissimo e disponibile (a parte un paio di personaggi alla reception). Il cameriere al ristorante ed i cuochi ci hanno stra coccolati, sono stati davvero amorevoli. Anche il ragazzo delle pulizie ci puliva la stanza 2 volte al giorno e ci cambia a richiesta anche le Salviette. Cibo davvero buono e vario.
Cons: L’unica pecca di questo resort è la poca spiaggia, non c’è spiaggia praticamente se non un piccolo pezzo. Ed il muretto che separa la spiaggia dal feed è antiestetico.

7 nights at Ellaidhoo July 2023
Pros: Stunning island, which was bigger than I expected. The snorkeling around the perimeter of the island is exceptional with an abundance and variety of coral, fish, rays and sharks. The staff are very pleasant and always wanting to assist (thank you to Naufal and Salime who did an incredible job). I'm not normally a fan of buffets but was impressed with the quality and variety of food available. The overwater bungalow was amazing and cleaned to a high standard everyday. The room is spacious and very comfortable. The main beach area is beautiful and a great place to relax on a sun lounge with a drink. We had a romantic dinner on the beach one night, which was a special experience and one I will never forget. I highly recommend requesting this option. Despite being monsoon season, we had almost no rain and sunshine everyday. The weather was perfect. I was also very impressed with management's commitment to the environment and sustainability.
Cons: Mini bar snacks are limited and could be improved. The drinks package is not bad, but needs a sparkling white wine option. A ladder to the water from each overwater bungalow would be a great addition. Seaplane transfers are limited. We had to arrive late on the first day despite being in Male for the whole day and we also had to leave early on the final day. The island is well managed and everything is always organised, however communication at times is lacking. Perhaps it is the language barrier but trying to get staff to reduce the strength of alcoholic drinks was a challenge (though somewhat amusing), and sometimes it would've been handy to better explain what options/services were available and how processes work, such as check out. These are not criticisms but merely areas that could be improved.

Fantastic stay and great diving
Pros: We visited the island due to good reviews seen on house reef and diving. It lived up to expectations! Lovely house reef and diving was fantastic. Dive operations are well organised. There are a lot of reviews that comment on the concrete barriers around the island, these did not bother us and we understand the need for them. Check in, check out was smooth. We used seaplane transfer, but would likely use boat transfer next time as the resort is not that far from Malé. Do take note regarding availability of transfers and plan international flights accordingly. Staff was fantastic all round. Food was delicious, special thank you to Vipula (chef), for his friendliness. Bar staff was great - and drinks were decent. All inclusive package in our view is a must and good value. Unless you are very particular on what spirits you drink, not sure that premium all inclusive is worth the additional cost. We had a split stay between water bungalows and beach bungalows. Really loved the water bungalows. Beach bungalows were also nice - decent size. Housekeeping is very good. It was nice to experience the restaurant that is reserved for water bungalow guests. Main restaurant for other guests were fine and great service by staff. We were nervous going in July due to monsoon season, it was fine and we were lucky to have 7 days of sunshine. Absolutely recommend a stay at this resort - especially for divers.
Cons: Initially communication regarding booking of seaplane was a bit slow. That is the one point for improvement.

Бетонный волнорез портит вид, зато создает песчаную лагуну по колено, куда постоянно заплывают скаты. Половина отдыхающих - немцы-дайверы, наверняка и дайвинг огненный.

Pros: Consiglio questa struttura perchè è veramente accogliente, staff gentile ci sono numerose attività da fare. Partirei con la pulizia delle stanze che è veramente eccezionale fatta due volte al giorno e cambio asciugamani anche tutti i giorni se richiesto. Il bagno tipico maldiviano all’aperto molto pulito e suggestivo. Il cibo era molto variegato, all’arrivo ti viene assegnato un tavolo che sarà tuo per tutto il soggiorno, ci sono varie tipologie di cucine con prodotti buoni e anche la pasta è fattibile. L’isola viene disinfestata tutti i giorni quindi non ci sono insetti, scarafaggi, e zanzare di ogni tipo, ottimo veramente! Lo staff super gentile. Abbiamo fatto un escursione per vedere i delfini che purtroppo non siamo riusciti a vedere a causa del mare un po’ mosso non essendo agosto altissima stagione per il posto, e ce l’hanno fatta rifare il giorno dopo gratuitamente ( anche se comunque non li abbiamo visti). Ci sono vari campetti da calcio, tennis, biliardo, biliardino, Ping pong, palestra, spa e tante escursioni e snorkeling da fare! Ogni sera ci sono diverse serate organizzate per la clientela come la serata karaoke, live band, acustic guitar ecc… Unica pecca è che in bassa stagione purtroppo potresti rischiare di non poter fare alcune escursioni belle come nuotare con le tartarughe o con gli squali oppure fare quella con i delfini e rischiare di non vederli come è capitato a noi, sarebbe meglio non proporla affatto dato che comunque costa sui 65 dollari a persona. Però non è colpa dello staff, anzi rispettano molto l’habitat naturale degli animali e sono un isola ecologica plastic free Super stra consigliato. P.S. Attenti ai pipistrelli che sono veramente grandi!

Voor ons een heerlijke afsluiting van de vakantie.
Pros: Prachtig verblijf! We hadden een waterbungalow (echt een aanrader) en een standaard kamer geboekt. Voor deze laatste kregen we een upgrade naar een strandbungalow. Het is echt de moeite waard om een waterbungalow of strandbungalow te boeken! Diverse sportfaciliteiten waar je gebruik van kan maken, lekker zwembad en heerlijk eten. Onze laatste avond was in het luxe restaurant op de verjaardag van onze dochter, hier werd echt werk van gemaakt en was een bijzondere avond.
Cons: Voor een eilandresort zijn de transportkosten bizar hoog, dit geldt voor alle eilandresorts. Verder vonden wij het lastig dat het restaurant voor de waterbungalows een ander restaurant is dan voor de overige kamers. De kosten om in dit luxere restaurant te eten voor de gasten van een standaardkamer zijn hoog. Wij hebben de keuze gemaakt om in het grote restaurant te eten met ons allen. Wij vonden het erg jammer dat je vanaf de waterbungalow niet in de zee kon zwemmen.

Ich möchte meine aufrichtige Dankbarkeit und Begeisterung für die unvergesslichen 14 Tage auf eurer wunderschönen Insel im Indischen Ozean zum Ausdruck bringen. Trotz einiger unruhiger See bei unserer Ankunft, die Wellen bis zu 5 Metern mit sich brachte, wurden wir dank des geschickten Kapitäns sicher und so angenehm wie möglich auf die Insel gebracht. Die Rückreise per Wasserflugzeug war eine fantastische Alternative, besonders für meinen Sohn, der eine erneute Überfahrt übers Meer vermeiden wollte. Die Entscheidung für die Strandbungalows erwies sich als perfekt. Jeden Morgen konnten wir direkt aus unseren Bungalows auf den Sandstrand treten, was ein unvergleichliches Erlebnis war. Trotz der Reisezeit im August/September, während der Regenzeit, hatten wir das Glück, dass es nur 1,5 Tage geregnet hat. Eure Gastfreundschaft hat uns von Anfang bis Ende beeindruckt. Vom Chef über die Küche und das Restaurant bis zu den Reinigungskräften – alle haben zu einem rundum angenehmen Aufenthalt beigetragen. Die Tauchbasis auf eurer Insel ist herausragend und besonders für Anfänger geeignet. Mein 11-jähriger Sohn hatte viel Spaß beim Tauchen, unterstützt von einem deutschsprachigen Tauchlehrer vor Ort. Die Vielfalt der Meeresbewohner, darunter Ammenhaie, Riffhaie, Rochen, Adlerrochen und Schildkröten, hat unsere Taucherlebnisse unvergesslich gemacht. Die Möglichkeit, sich an den Wellengang im Ozean durch eine vorgezogene Mauer zu gewöhnen, war besonders hilfreich. Leider konnte mein Mann aufgrund von Ohrenschmerzen nicht tauchen, aber der kompetente Arzt auf der Insel sorgte für eine schnelle und effektive Lösung. Auch meine Ernährungsbedürfnisse als Veganerin wurden im Restaurant hervorragend berücksichtigt, selbst wenn das Buffet keine veganen Optionen bot. Ein besonderer Dank gilt auch dem SPA-Team. Die Anwendungen haben wir sehr genossen, und die Zeit, die sich genommen wurde, hat zu einer erholsamen Erfahrung beigetragen. Wir freuen uns bereits darauf, in Zukunft erneut eure Insel zu besuchen. Nochmals herzlichen Dank für diese unvergessliche Zeit.

beautiful destination, the beach and the sea is amazing. The people here are very nice and will help you with anything. Even the island is not very big, the places are not overloaded. Tried first time snorkeling here and the underwater world is awesome. The views and surroundings varies, we got a very beautiful bungalow at the beach side, on the other side it isn't that good. There is every evening a Entertainment, good music every time. They very into reducing plastic and tried to ban it from the island, there is an opportunity to see behind the scenes, they will give you a guided tour, which is very cool. Time flies to fast here.

Fabulous resort for a totally relaxing holiday in paradise. Friendly helpful staff, fantastic choice of quality fresh food, and a good selection of cocktails. Even went to the well equipped gym most days. Great snorkelling and diving. House reef teeming with life, and some particularly inquisitive bird life. The only slight negative was the cost of the diving even though we bought all of our own kit. Had it been cheaper we would have happily done more. Apart from that highly recommend Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon. Well done to the whole team.

The staff were fantastic in all areas of the resort This is our second time on the island, and this time we stayed in the water bungalows. We had a dedicated restaurant and the staff were awesome and the food was stunning. We snorkelled a lot as the reef is great, we dived a few times but would have dived more if it wasn’t so expensive, we bought our own kit with us and noted that it would be a lot more if we had to hire equipment on top. Tge facilities are good, we used the gym everyday and there was ample sun loungers and a great pool area. I would recommend to those wanting to chill out and relax in a friendly, luxurious resort.

Es ist ein schönes und sehr kleines Hotel, das eigentlich nur für Schnorcheler oder Taucher geeignet ist. Die Tauchschule soll sehr gut sein und wird dementsprechend auch häufig genutzt. Da ich nicht Tauchen gegangen bin, dann ich hier jedoch nur von Erfahrungen der anderen Miturlauber berichten. Abends ist für gewöhnlich nicht viel los und das Entertainment ist etwas mau. Das Essen ist solide aber nicht besonders gut oder abwechslungsreich. Das schnorcheln am Riff entschädigt jedoch für vieles, ist aber auch die einzige Beschäftigungsmöglichkeit.

Przyplynęłysmy tu z przyjaciółkami na jednodniową wycieczkę z wyspy Ukulhas. Pakiet all inclusive okazał się wcale nie taki all. Miałyśmy informację, które bary i posiłki są nam dostępne, to nie było problemem, jednak wyznaczono nam leżaki przy przystni dla łodzi, gdzie panował harmider związany z dostawami i widok był niezbyt atrakcyjny. Uważam, że skoro się nas spodziewano, to oczywistym byłoby rozłożenie kilku leżaków także przy basenie lub w dalszej częsci plaży z ładniejszym widokiem. A teraz plusy: Bardzo dobre, urozmaicone jedzenie, smaczne i (dość mocne) drinki, przemiła obsługa kelnerska w barze i w jadalni. Plusem dla potrafiących snorkować jest też żywa rafa koralowa i mnogość pływających ryb

Vi är jättenöjda med hotell och plats. Ellaidhoo är en liten korallö med en resort. För vår del fanns alla de bekvämligheter vi önskade med restaurang (buffé), barer, Spa, gym, tennisbana samt tillgång till utflykter. Standard är bra men inte luxuös à la jet-set. Service är med det lilla extra och mycket vänlig personal. Det känns tryggt och säkert. Ön är väldigt ren och de har kommit långt när det gäller miljö och hållbarhet. De odlar eget och vatten i plastflaskor är förbjudna på ön. De försöker ta bort all plast som går att ta bort, t ex har de papperspåsar som soppåsar i rummen. Ön har även ett dykcenter. Värt att tänka på är att ön är en korallö så det finns inga större långgrunda stränder då hela ön är omgiven av korallrev. För vår del var öns stranddelar tillräckligt för oss då vi främst önskade nära tillgång till bra rev och snorkling. Platsen är utmärkt för snorkling och dykning. Husrevet är tillhåll för alla möjliga fiskar och på i stort varje tur såg vi haj. Vi har inget egentligt att klaga på, men några medskick till förbättring är följande: Belysning runt baren vid båtpiren kan förbättras. Även uppdelning av tillgång till snacks då du reser som all inclusive gäst. Vårt rum låg vid den restaurang som vattenvillorna hade som restaurang. Att öns två restauranger som så var uppdelade beroende på var du bodde hade vi inget problem med men att vi för att kunna hämta snacks hänvisades till att gå bort till den andra baren för detta var ett minus. Obs snacks serverades vid öns 2 barer som låg bredvid de två restauranger som finns. Dricka och drinkar fick vi tillgång till i bägge barer men alltså inte snacks. Konstig upplevelse då du betalat för ”all-inklusive”. Vi rekommenderar Ellaidhoo varmt.

Had a great time at the Ellaidhoo. The staff in the resort were excellent and the food in the Madi buffet restaurant was superb, lots of choice with freshly cooked pasta and various other dishes. The AI wine and beer was pretty good too as were the cocktails. The coffee from the restaurant didn't seem quite as nice as the coffee from the bar area. The gym was well equipped and we had a lot of fun playing badminton and tennis, we had our own faster shuttlecocks which were better than the hotels, rackets are supplied. We were in room 209 a superior ocean view room with 3 adults. The room was very spacious and clean, they could do with a rail for the hand towel next to the sink. We liked that the steps down to the sheltered lagoon was only about 10m away from the door. Within the lagoon itself you could see some fish and the odd shark, moray eel and stingray but when you venture out beyond the lagoon wall to the reef it becomes a tropical fish tank with loads of species of fish. Snorkeling in the reef in front of the apartment around 4.30-5pm was spectacular as the the shark were on their way to the feeding station about 30m away. There were loads of small reef sharks, nurse sharks and some stingrays. I had a nurse shark swim directly underneath me when I was in about 1.5m of water, a great experience. We did the manta ray excursion which was another great experience, again they were in touching distance. Enjoyed the night snorkeling and saw stone fish, lion fish, octopus and moray eels. Definitely buy an underwater go pro or similar for snorkeling, we had a waterproof case for the mobile phone and it didn't work so well. Speed boat ride to the resort was great and we got upgraded to the seaplane on return. The hotel is very eco friendly and there is a great sense of community within the resort staff. The only downside we had were the mosquitoes which we were told was due to the heavy rain they had experienced the previous 2 weeks. When we mentioned it they sprayed the room and the surrounding trees at the apartment, this seemed to help. Overall we had a fantastic time.

The Ellaidhoo staff was very caring and service minded from the very first moment we arrived and throughout the whole stay. The resort has all the necessary facilities and quality for a really enjoyable and relaxing time. The island is of the right size, not too big, for the proper Maldives experience and the snorking and diving is excellent. The house reef is very easy to access and the diving center well organized and equipped, also with excellent instructors. The food is good and very varied with a lot of different options, changing from day to day. The spa staff was professional and well prepared. In general this island, thanks for its manager and excellent staff, is a good example of how a Maldives resort should be run.

From the moment we arrived at Ellaidhoo you could sense the care that the staff and management have both for the guests and the island. This is our third Maldive island to visit and overall I would say our favourite. The positives. The food is superb and the menu varied to cater for every taste. There are multiple chefs preparing live meals at every buffet so you can have a tailored meal that is piping hot. The bar colleagues are very helpful and remember you and will interact in light conversation. The choice of all inclusive drinks is very good. The house reef is amazing. Never seen more corals or varieties and numbers of fish sharks and rays. The lagoon is basically sand and some parts of the sea outside the lagoon are not immaculate coral but go 10 metres beyond the lagoon wall and they are perfect with a steep drop off ideal for scuba diving. We dived three times and found the dive school to be extremely well equipped and professional. You can dive with your partner but we chose to use an instructor for extra confidence and extra ability to spot sea life. The manta snorkelling trip was amazing though a little pricey. The rooms and outside toilet were good and I wouldn’t change anything. My wife enjoyed the spa having both facials and a massage. There is a very strong eco culture in the island which will be accelerated over the next few years Ok a few areas of improvement. The lagoon walls at sea and on the island side are ugly especially at low tide. They need facing up with stone or broken coral to make them slightly more natural looking. Some of the trips are undersubscribed which means they never meet the minimum person threshold. I suggest a 25% price reduction and your numbers would increase favourably. Some simple cocktails like a Pina Colada are not on all inclusive. Why? All in all we loved it and will definitely return.

Es war ein sehr schöner und ruhiger Urlaub.Das Personal war immer zuvorkommen und freundlich. Es stellte sich eine fast familiäre Antmosphäre ein. Das essen war phänomenal, es wurde beim einchecken nach Allergien und Unverträglichkeiten gefragt und darauf hin das essen an den Abenden angepasst. So gab es für alle etwas zu essen. Die Speisen wurden mit Hinweise versehen ob diese z.b. Gluten, Eier oder Laktose enthalten und ob es eine healthy option ist. Als ich einmal etwas das nicht am buffet erhältlich war angefragt habe, wurde sich durch einen Koch sofort darum gekümmert, das nach Prüfung ob die Zutaten vorhanden waren, mir das essen extra gemacht wurde. (Ohne zusatzkosten für mich) Das habe ich bisher noch in keinen Hotel, Resort oder Club erlebt. Ebenso gibt es eine separate Speisekarte die man auf Nachfrage für Menschen mit Unverträglichkeiten bekommt. Die Insel selbst ist sehr sauber und man achtet hier sehr auf die Unwelt und auf Müll Vermeidung. Am Abend ist jedes mal eine anderes Unterhsltungsangebot geboten. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend und versucht einen jeden Wunsch zu erfüllen. Also Schnorchler und Taucher ist das Hausriff super, hier herrscht eine riesen Fischvielfalt und auch ein Wrack liegt direkt vor der Insel an dem sich gerne verschiedene Haie und Richen aufhalten. Wir selbst übernachteten in einem Beach Bugalow der sehr geräumig und sehr sauber war. So kommt 3 mal am Tag der Zimmerservice um zu kontrollieren ob alles in Ordnung ist und schaltet abends sogar die nachttischlampe an. Zu den Bungalows gehören ebenfalls eine eigene Terrase und am Wasser 2 Sonnenliegen. Wir kommen gerne wieder auf die Insel zurück. Und wünschen allen Urlaubern eine entspannte und schöne Zeit.

Thanks for a beautiful week at Ellaidhoo! We really enjoyed our stay. All of your staff was very friendly all the time, they did a great job! Special thanks to the young waitress on the bar (the young woman from the Philippines)! For AI guests the drinks in the Mini-Bar should all be included and why do we have to sign for every Coce abd Beer? A little bit annoying was the noise from the Power Generator / Water Facility which was present throughout the entire island at all times.

Eine sehr schöne Insel mit einem intakten Riff. Der Bungalow mit seinem luftigen Bad war sehr geräumig. Das Essen war immer reichhaltig und vielseitig. Jeder Wunsch wurde erfüllt. Die Tauchbasis unter deutscher Leitung ist klasse.

Das ganze Personal ist vom Empfang bis zur Verabschiedung im höchsten Maße bestrebt, den aller besten Service zugeben. Ein Umdenken zum Punkt Bewusstsein zum Umgang mit Palstik hat erfolgreich begonnen und soll immer weiter ausgebaut werden. Die ganze Insel ist sehr sauber und das Hausrief ist sehr gut intakt. Selbst beim Beobachten der Fische vom Wassersteg gibt es viele zu entdecken. Wir konnten uns nur sehr wohlfühlen und uns ist unglaublich schwer gefallen abzureisen, dass nicht nur an dem Ort lag, sondern insbesondere an dem ganzen Hotelteam welches unseren Urlaub zu einen unvergesslichen gemacht hat. Wir hoffen bald wieder mal Gast sein zu dürfen.

Our second trip to this resort, not something we normally do but it didn’t disappoint. We had a beach bungalow near the pool, best of both worlds and the room was kept immaculate by Adam. The food was absolutely lovely plenty of choice and beautifully prepared. The salads were particularly worthy of a mention. All of the staff were very friendly and polite. Well worth a visit

My husband and I just spent a week at the Ellaidhoo Maldives Resort and it was a wonderful, relaxing and invigorating experience. We live in the USA and a trip to The Maldives had been on our bucket list for some time so we were happy and eager to go. We chose this resort based upon the pictures on the website and its proximity to Male as it is a 20 minute seaplane ride from the the airport, we arranged the airport transfers throught the resort and the process was flawless. We were greeted by resort staff and given an orientation to the resort and amenities and spent the rest of the day basking by the sun-drenched infinity pool adjacent to the Malamathi Restaurant. I have so many good things to say that I will try to organize my thoughts by discussing the various aspects of the resort in sections: Overwater Bungalow #411: This bungalow was the perfect one for us as it faces directly west so we were awarded with a spectacular tropical sunset each day. The bungalow is a good size, is well equipped and made for a comfortable home away from home during our stay. Our assigned housekeepper was Sapoon who was friendly, welcoming and very attentive, all of our requests were met with a smile. The bungalow has a glass window to the lagoon embedded in the floor of the entry hall, it was nice to walk over it eveyday and glance down to see the array of colorful fish each day. It was especially entertaining at night as the fish were attracted to the light from above, you could sit and watch them for hours on end. The bungalow had a decent sized deck on the back with a daybed and two chaise lounges, we spent time out there at night stargazing (...there were tons of stars every night as there is no ambient light to interfere...) and would read out there during the day. It was extremely private and hearing the ocean waves each night was very relaxing. We were very happy with the accomodations and guests staying in the overwater bungalows have the privilege of the dining in the Malamathi Restaurant and access to the resorts large infinity pool. Malamathi Restaurant Experience: All guests who stay in an overwater bungalow are assigned a personal butler during their stay, we were blessed with Igbal who took excellent care of us, he explained the logistics of the restaurant and would review the cuisine options with us each day. Other members of the team included Aisha, Onesh and the bartender, Danish, they all made us feel like a guest in their home!!!

We were lucky to spend 7 wonderful nights at Ellaidhoo. From the beginning to end the island was just an absolute dream. Food is great, something different everyday, our room was really lovely and super comfy bed, staff SUPER friendly! And the snorkelling out of this world. We met several people on our trip who had been to the Maldives several times before but said Ellaidhoo was the best island they had visited.

Went to Ellaidhoo (still here but leaving in the morning) for my honeymoon and my wife and I had the most amazing 10 days. We got to snorkel with sharks which is something I never thought I would do. The beach is so nice and there is plenty of places to sunbath around the island. The staff are extremely friendly. The bar staff at Iruohsenee were amazing. Always smiling, always happy to conversate, and are quick to get you another drink once you have an empty glass. The staff in the Madi restaurant were so nice, and I can't commend Nishaal for his excellent service throughout our stay. I would highly recommend Elaidhoo, and if you like to snorkel this is definitely the place to go. Thanks again Elaidhoo team for your amazing service.

This was my first visit to Ellaidhoo, but my 15th to the Maldives. I’ve previously stayed at 3&4 star islands and. In my opinion, this was one of the worst island I’ve visited over 30 years. Having read the latest reviews, I cannot relate to most of the comments made. The only aspect I can agree to is the staff and there willingness to please and ensure your stay is a good the. The island’s motto is “to exceed your reservations”. My expectations were never met. The island lacks soul and there is no character. I booked a garden villa, but in arrival, I found out I was facing the back of a restaurant and the Fire Pump Room, which was running 24 hrs. After 24 hours are requested a change, which was accommodated. The island has a relatively small expanse of beach, with access to the water, via rusty metal stairs. The main bar is constructed of metal poles covered in tin sheets. There is limited seating and the external veranda has 2 spot lights, with the majority being in darkness. The mattresses on the loungers and cushions on the seats in the bar are left out all the time and get soaked, thereby being unusable once the rain stops. The main restaurant is like a cafeteria, with long lines of tables and, depending where you are seated, have to manoeuvre numerous chairs to get to the food. After a few days I did talk to a House Manager and voiced my concerns. My concerns were noted, but I was informed that most of the issues resulted from a shortage of money. I have also sent an email to Cinnamon head Office and await their response . As mentioned at the start, my opinion is based on my previous visits to numerous islands. It won‘t deter me from visiting the Maldives again, but NOT to Ellaidhoo. My holiday was a great disappointment.

Everything is about expectations… and for my 6th trip to the Maldives (11th for my wife), we were about to be blown away! We are now slowly at the end of a 7 night stay in a water bungalow for our wedding anniversary. For every trip in this Paradise, we are looking for two main characteristics (after all, travelling here is almost an investment, more so in the current cost of living crisis). 1. Small sized island. Ellaidhoo is around double the capacity of the islands that we have visited in the past but the clever division between the guests in the water bungalow and the other type of rooms during the meals is giving the opportunity to feel like being in a very exclusive (in size) resort. The small restaurant near the pool for the guests from the water bungalow is certainly giving you the privacy and calmness. Still, you can join the “buzz” in the evening at the bar where events are taking place every day. Alternatively, there are some (limited) sitting areas close to the pool to enjoy a more relaxed drink. You can have the best of both worlds! 2. Good reef for snorkelling. Ellaidhoo has in our opinion the best reef that we have visited. Not only is it just stunning, full of all the fish that you can dream of, but it is also easy to access. There are clear entrances to the reef, even marked by ropes on the sea floor to guide you from the beach. The resort has done a lot of work to protect, and even regenerate the coral, even around the water bungalows: it is paying off with stunning bright coral in the lagoon and a good population of fish feeding on them, for everyone to enjoy from the decking. You don’t have this “no man’s land” between the beach and the sea wall; instead, you are going to a crescendo in a world of beauty and wonder just below the surface. One word: Amazing! Be aware of the titan trigger fish: they are the soldiers of the reef, not afraid to give you a painful bite if you don’t avoid them. The island seems to have quite a few around, even in the lagoon. The resort has a clever business model: it is very comfortable and clean but without fuss , offering everything you need. Our restaurant is serving excellent quality food (international buffet). The choice at the buffet is not the largest but more than enough to find something that you fancy between the curries, live stations ( meat and fish) and the dedicated pasta area (vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options available). The staff are always friendly, helpful, and professional. A special thank you to our room boy Alamin who did a fantastic job (and keeps smiling!). I could write a book about all the small things that we like about Ellaidhoo but the best way is to come and experience it: you will not regret it! The perfect balance between luxury and budget friendliness whilst making you feel in paradise… In our eyes, this is just perfect. Thank you all at Ellaidhoo, you are doing wonders at making dreams become a reality.

We booked this resort based on the reviews, and yes, the marine life was spectacular compared to other resorts we have stayed at. The following staff really made the holiday so memorable and they deserve recognition for making the holiday. It was always a pleasure to see Madhavan at the bar, always with a smile and always so happy to meet guests. Saddam was so attentive and efficient at the bar, Prasanna, is a master class chef, truly the most amazing pesto pasta I have ever eaten. irufan, looked after us for dining throughout our stay as were staying in a water villa, he was always courteous and so hardworking. We would definitely stay again, as the resort ticked most of the boxes, thank you to all the team, we really had a wonderful holiday.

Thoroughly enjoyed our 10 day stay. Our water villa was lovely & kept spotlessly clean by Alamin our houseboy. Staying in a water Villa gives you exclusive access to the pool restaurant where the food is delicious ( especially if you like Asian food). The house reef was spectacular & even those who don’t snorkel or dive, regularly see many sharks, rays & colourful fishes. The cocktails were delicious- especially those made by Obama at the pool bar. We had plenty of rain but it didn’t really matter as it was always hot. Definitely worth going all inclusive ( even though we skipped lunch everyday to avoid over eating) Thank you to all the staff who were all so kind & friendly. My only disappointment was that there weren’t any long sandy beaches as you get on most other islands, but hey ho you can’t have everything!

Здравствуйте. Это был не первый наш отдых на Мальдивах. Мы активно занимаемся плаванием с маской, ластами и трубкой наслаждаясь красотами кораллов и разнообразием обитателей подводного мира. Приоритетом при выборе острова является наличие "живого" рифа, удаленность от аэропорта, оптимальное соотношение цена-качество. По всем параметрам подошел остров Эллайду с отелем "Cinnamon". Все очень спокойно, качественно, организовано с точки зрения логистики. Планируя сноркелинг имейте ввиду достаточно сильные течения вдоль рифа. Удалось увидеть практически все, что планировали. Надеемся вернуться через год. Олег, Ирина.

От пребывания в этом отеле остались самые благоприятные впечатления. Обстановка на острове полудомашняя, располагающая к отдыху, без "официоза" и дресс-кода. Мы жили в отдельно стоящих береговых бунгало. В бунгало хороший ремонт, удобные кровати, новая сантехника, кофейные-чайные наборы, много мест хранения, маленький холодильник, минибар,зонтики, спасательные жилеты, все туалетные принадлежности (мыло, шампуни, гели, шапочки, пилочки для ногтей,зубные щетки с пастой и даже станок для бритья). На острове следят за экологией; упаковки бумажные, пластиковые бутылки с водой забирают при заезде. Это очень правильно. Ежедневно приносят стеклянные бутылки с питьевой водой. Персонал отеля очень старается, чтобы ваш отдых был комфортным и у вас остались самые приятные впечатления. Спасибо им большое за это. На острове отдыхают в основном жители Европы, преимущественно из Германии. Возрастные категории самые разные, детей мало. К слову, маленьким детям, не надо ездить на остров. Отдыхающие доброжелательные, вежливые, спокойные. Шумные вечерние мероприятия проходят в районе ресепции и ресторана. На остальной части острова очень тихо. Отдельно про домашний риф. При выборе отеля хороший домашний риф (с рыбками, кораллами) был приоритетом. Как вы, вероятно, видели на фото, лагуна отделена от основной воды барьерами. Это оправдано, т.к. в океане в данной локации очень сильные перекрестные течения. Очевидно поэтому на карте, которую вам дают при заезде, обозначены места захода для снорка. В этих местах натянуты веревки, держась за которые, при сильных течениях, можно зайти, а особенно выйти. Не игнорируйте этот факт и при снорке за барьером одевайте жилет. Желательно иметь ласты, в них легче сопротивляться всяким неожиданным поворотам течения. Вы можете плыть по течению и вдруг в какой то момент резко все меняется и поток океанской воды с большой скоростью идет вам навстречу. В процессе отдыха и плавания вы поймете, на каком отрезке вероятность внезапных встречных течений чаще всего встречается. Рыбок и всякой подводной живности много. Видели черепашек, скатов-хвостоколов разных размеров, орляков, очень больших наполеонов и много, много разных акул. Какая то любимая акулья локация. Людей они не трогают. Наверное, еды им хватает. Встречаются среди них забавные экземпляры, любопытные, которые подплывают близко. Особенно "рыбный суп"в океане ближе к вечеру.На острове везде висят таблички, что за свою безопасность вы отвечаете сами. Как правило, человек понимает свои физические возможности. Также на острове наблюдаются очень сильные отливы. Может быть это связано с сезоном или с фазой луны (мы были в полнолуние) как, впрочем, и наличие течений. Многое еще хотелось бы написать, впечатлений масса. На Мальдивах были неоднократно, на разных островах, в том числе и на этом (очень давно).Видимо, был красный сезон, что то я не припомню таких течений. Надо четко для себя понимать зачем вы едите именно на этот остров и тогда не будет разочарований. Кому интересны локации "баунти", точно не сюда. Здесь всего 2 маленьких песчаных пляжа. У кого есть вопросы-постараюсь ответить. Отдельное спасибо хочу передать Карине (русскоговорящий менеджер) за ее участие и терпение. А также чудесным поварам, обслуживающему персоналу. Вы-молодцы!

Before saying how great the resort is, things people ask; they have 3 pin UK plugs, toilet paper should not be flushed, US$ are the norm - use for tipping. All extras are just put on the room and paid at the end of your stay. All rooms have umbrellas and long rain jackets - when it does rain it is very heavy. Rooms also have life jackets to aid snorkelling. If you so choose, you will not need shoes during your stay. Towels (soft and smell lovely) are changed as requested. Pool/beach towels are also provided. Sunbeds are allocated to each room, so no rushing to put your towel out, except around the freshwater pool. We never had a problem when using the pool. You will be asked to give up any plastic water bottles when you arrive, you will be given a personalised water bottle. The resort have an evening where they explain what they are doing to help the environment. Very good, and they will also mention a tour of the behind scenes areas, which unfortunately we missed. We stayed for 10 nights, but wished we could stay longer. From the speedboat trip going to the seaplane departing (104US$ via the hotel), everything is really well organised. We arrive late morning, but luckily our room was ready. Our superior room was large with a settee and a very large comfortable bed. The bathroom is partially open. There is a line for drying out bathers, and if your luggage hasn't arrived, dental and shaving kits. The soap is lovely. The balcony had comfy chairs. If you decide to be bare foot, all rooms have a spray to wash your feet, so you don't take sand in to the room. Even if you are all inclusive, you will still have to sign for drinks from the mini bar in the room. Our room was looked after by Anik, who I can't praise enough. Always smiling and wanting to make sure all was ok. The food was very varied, always something for everyone and very good. Your table and waiter is the same throughout your stay. We also used the spa, not cheap, but worth it. The Dolphin trip appears from other reviews to be a bit of a gamble. We were lucky and saw dolphins, but of course the resort has no control over them! The resort feeds sharks at 5.15 every day, which should be watched - quite amazing, and it is by the bar, so perfect way to relax before dinner. The real gems of this place are the staff who are always smiling and cannot do enough for you, the fish, the sharks, the coral, and the very very clear water. If you are thinking of going to the Maldives I would recommend the Ellaidhoo. Only negatives were the wifi in our room was not very good for the second half of our stay despite them trying to fix it, and there not being a 'no smoking' area in the bar.

We stayed in a water bungalow over the sea which was protected by a sea wall. The other side of the wall is the house reef full of many species of fish of different colours and sizes. We stayed late October so expected some rain as it is rain season. We arrived by seaplane which was a smooth experience from meeting and collecting us at the airport to transfer to the Elaidhoo resort. This was my first visit to the Maldives so very excited. First impressions the resort is very clean stylish and well maintained without feeling overly posh. The staff were all very welcoming and polite even the maintenance workers and cleaners always met you with a smile and nothing was too much to ask. The water bungalow is beautiful and well maintained with everything you need for your stay. Even raincoats for the rainy days. Our bungalow was cleaned twice a day by Alamin including bed turndown service and the mini bar replenished daily. We went all inclusive. Alamin was very nice friendly and polite and nothing was too much to ask. He even left us a beautiful surprise on the last night of our stay. The buffet is magnificent with plenty of choice of different meats chicken and fish dishes every evening including vegetarian and gluten free meals and plenty of fresh fruit and desserts. You can go for curries salads soups kebabs you name it... breakfast was much the same with eggs cooked how you like them! Many thanks to Mr Singh the chef who cooked fresh meat and fish dishes and the best naan breads in front of you! He was very kind and caring and appeared genuinely wanting to give you the dishes you wanted. Many thanks to Irufan who attended us mostly however the restaurant staff were ALL very attentive and we were never waiting for anything. We did take part in some activities: Swimming with Manta Ray's very energetic great fun Visit to Hangnaameedooh - very interesting don't forget your bug spray as lots of mosquitos Had a walk around the back of the resort by invitation to see what goes into the running of the resort. A very interesting touch as this resort is passionate about sustainability initiatives the non use of plastics and recycling and protection of the coral reef environment. The manager and staff appear very proud of their achievements so far without any reduction in quality or service. On a personal note I was a guest travelling with a serious illness. I did need to see the resort doctors on a couple of occasions. They were very kind and helpful and very knowledgeable. They did help me alot. Night entertainment is okay. We saw a band a couple of times plus a guitarist and DJ. All good entertainment we did have a dance So much to say....this holiday was perfect. We had a walk around the island probably only takes 20 minutes! Saw lots of wildlife including fox bats flying through the trees to sharks stingrays and trigger fish. Beware of the trigger fish- we were warned!! A guest received 3 nasty bites whilst out swimming and had to be prescribed antibiotics! Highly recommend this resort it is very well run, the food is excellent and if you want rest and relaxation it is the place to be. Last note, allow plenty of time when departing from Male airport it took us 4 hours of queueing and getting through the many searches and passport controls we observed some people had missed their flights because of this!!
