Beautiful hotel
Pros: I liked the island, the greenery, the food. We had our wedding celebration in Kandima also which was nice. Special thanks to the lady who did my make up and the hair for the wedding. She was very professional. Food was good and diverse. The greenery around hotel is well taken care of. The beach is beautiful too.
Cons: The entertainment in the evenings could be more diverse - with live music of different genres, some places to dance maybe. The wedding set up was not exactly as per the wedding brochure on the web site of the hotel. Though we do appreciate and are very grateful for the efforts of the wedding organizer Joshna and the team to make it nicer in the last moment. Hotel needs to show the real set up pictures in the advertising materials.

Mitigé..
Pros: Les équipements. On a pas le temps de s’ennuyer. Tout est bien pensé, bien organisé. Il y a pas énormément de foule on peu profiter calmement de chaque endroits. Les enfants sont bien servi également.. j’ai beaucoup aimé l’endroit
Cons: - je n’est pas vraiment apprécié le fait qu’on me refuse le petit déjeuner pour ma tenue (en maille) en me mettant mal à l’aise , alors qu’au moins une dizaines de femmes étaient en string et maillot de bain lors du petit déjeuner, je suis aller me changer je suis revenu et j’etait la seule à avoir été refusé les autre rentrer sans problèmes. - l’interdiction de faire voler le drone, alors que tout le monde le fait voler sur place on nous as presque confisqué le drone, alors que sur la page insta de Kandima ils partagent les photos et vidéos des clients.. mais nous on était interdit on a pas compris cela nous as déçu on avais choisi cet atol pour les photos vu sur le net en drone prise par les clients. - malheureusement sur Kandima si on ne présente pas bien (dans le sens où on montre pas qu’on a des sous) on n’est pas si bien traité, on a remarqué la différence de traitement entre nous et les personnes « plus riche » ou plus connue sur les réseaux présent sur place.

Pros: Вилла с джакузи хороший вариант размещения. Есть плюсы, в целом все ок, но это не лучший остров на мальдивах на котором мы были
Cons: Очень плохо и долго отвечают на переписку. Это субъективная претензия. И не понял почему обратно мы летели на обычных местах в самолете - трансфере от отеля, так как оплачен был другой класс и туда летели норм

Cons: The juices in the restaurant were not natural, freshly squeezed ones. This fact is really disappointing given the expected quality of service for such a resort. The house reef is not alive. The Turtle Quest trips were made to the same location 3 days in a row.

Pros: 🇲🇻🌴☀️🌊🇲🇻🌴☀️🌊🇲🇻🌴☀️🌊🇲🇻🌴☀️🌊 This was by far a luxurious little stay among the turquoise blue waters. The ocean surrounding the island has glorious warm water. Like swimming in a large swimming pool. Definitely book an over water villa. - Easy access to ocean directly from villa - Rent a bicycle for $10 per day. Easy way to get around the island and resort - Enjoyed the local Maldivian cooking class - Food options at Zest was excellent. Enough choices for both breakfast and dinner. Had fresh garlic naan prepared every night. - Plenty of drinkable water available in rooms Quick tip: if you are booking a room with a bathtub. Bring along some bath salts and bath bombs for some dreamy bubble baths 🌸🌸🌸 Would like to thank the following staff: SHAHUM (airport representative) Friendly and helpful MALLIKA/KAAMIL/NIKITA (hotel reception) Friendly, professional EDAM (waiter at Zest) Friendly and always smiling SAHAB (buggy driver) Very passionate about Maldives and gave me some brief history on the country on my buggy ride ANIL (Exec chef) took his time to chat to guests during the dinner service to check on food quality etc. and followed up with me after my cooking class ) DEEPAK (Nepali chef) Very knowledgeable about food. I was cooking along him during my class. Very friendly. MIRIAM (Maldivian chef) such a kindhearted soul. Cooked along Miriam. She’s very passionate about Maldives. There was one chef out in Zest constantly wiping down the plating stations. So sorry didn’t get his name. But wanna thank you for his kindness too.

Pros: Жили в виле на воде с джакузи. Каждый день приносили и меняли полотенце, добавляли воду, наводили уборку. Сделали заказ через приложение, тут же набрали, привезли в течение 30 мин. У вилы был небольшой риф, там были постоянно разные рыбы, приплывали акулы небольшие. Остров достаточно большой, брали велосипеды, ездили на снорклинг несколько раз.водных активностей тьма. Есть детский клуб. Все мероприятия удобно смотреть в приложении кандима. Организация всего очень понравилась. Все готовы помочь решить любой вопрос! Почти везде были говорящие на русском сотрудники. Для нас это не критичное условие, но для других огромный плюс. В целом, довольны на 100%!!! В этом место точно стоит побывать! P. S никаких комаров/крыс не обнаружили за неделю. Возможно, потому что жили на аквавиле.
Cons: Относительно, не сильное разнообразие в еде в ресторанах zest и flouver. Хотелось бы по разнообразие фруктов.

Amazing Experience!
Pros: Kandima Resort was absolutely amazing. We loved every minute of our stay – it felt like living in a dream! We booked the Aqua Villa and initially planned to stay for just 4 days. We ended up extending for two more days as we were truly enjoying ourselves in the resort. The place was stunning, and everything was just perfect. The staff were super friendly and helpful, from the room cleaners to the hotel manager. They always had a smile and a friendly word for us. The diving experiences were incredible. The team at Aquaholics was very supportive and friendly, and they made sure all our diving trips and excursions were well planned and always on time. The food at Flavour was fantastic, especially the Christmas Eve dinner – there were so many great options it was almost overwhelming! Huge shout out to our diving instructor, Paula, for being so friendly and kind. Paula went out of her way to make sure that we're comfortable, safe, and enjoying our time. She was always on top of things, making sure our diving gear was ready and helping us with anything we needed during our dives.. Not only is she a brilliant diver, but she's also an incredibly kind person. Our stay at Kandima is something we'll never forget. It was so hard to leave, and we can't wait to go back!

Pros: The resort is so nice and it’s staff are so friendly. It has many activities & facilities i really highly recommend it to couples and families as well. The kids club (Kandiland) are excellent for the kids to spend time and it’s staff are caring and just amazing and i would like to mention & thank (Gigi) Jihane & (Adilla) who are extraordinary staff. In addition to the resort manager Mr. Dany who is always going around and checking that everything is fine he is really an example for leadership. But i have one recommendation which is if there is an additional facility for mini Golf the resort will be fully with everything needed. I promise that i will back with more family members to enjoy & relax. Many thanks ❤️

Heaven on earth
Pros: The staff was amazing. At the arrival they helped us book reservations to the restaurants, to boat trips and helped us with everything we needed. Big 10 to all the personnel from the resort. The bus drivers were so nice. The girls from the playground very nice. The boys from the boat very nice! The food was good. All inclusive it’s a must on Kandima: you have access to all the restaurants, bars and entertainment places. If you travel with children I won’t recommend aqua villa. I would definitely recommend sunset villas with or without swimming pools. It’s definitely a children friendly resort!
Cons: We had some problems with the seaplane. We booked sea plane for both arrival and return trip. At the arrival they told us that the sea plane left without us. At the departure they transported us at another resort to take the seaplane and our luggage arrived with a domestic flight. This was unpleasant. Also the communication with the resort before arrival was very difficult. I send many messages via booking.com, via Whatsapp and via email directly to the property but they did not answer. I almost canceled the trip because of this lack of communication.

Pros: lots of activities for kids, great yoga classes and aqua aerobics sessions- lovely teachers! Futsal field is a great place for kids to play but many guests are not quite aware of it - maybe more information /activities can be organised. The Kandima app was very useful. Great rooms and lots of privacy for families.
Cons: Lots of flies at breakfast buffet- spoils the dining experience Given that the entire property is sand-based, housekeeping needs to be more regular and perhaps even twice a day. Timings of housekeeping were also quite late at times ( manpower shortage)?

State of the art family resort 🫶🏻
Pros: We really enjoyed Kandima resort 👍🏻: spent 10 great family days there and our experience was just magnificent: relaxing atmosphere, friendly personnel-buddies, modern facilities (incl. cool kids club), fast & stable wi-fi connection, overall convenience and value for money - all was just state of the art 👍🏻 Great resort for families ☺️
Cons: Probably the only thing we really lacked - fresh juices offer at breakfast 🤗 I would also mention lots of flies bothering you a bit at canteens (and sometimes even ravens) - but it does not affect overall fantastic picture 👍🏻 Important notice: probably, better to purchase all-inclusive instead of bad & breakfast as on-site pricing policy is quite high (see menu pics)

Pros: Kandima is a lovely hotel in the Maldives. We stayed in a beach room which was close to the beach we had lovely sea views.
Cons: I didn’t feel that the staff are on point with their customers. We were given a ‘buddy’ who didn’t once check up on us during our stay. I had a few issues with my shower I complained 3 times and even then it did not get sorted and no compensation was even attempted. In more resorts they will do something to cover up for their faults, but not here. I had damp laundry that just needed to be dried they refused to help me it had to be laundered and even after they gave me a 50% discount on the laundry it was still ridiculous all I needed was for it to be dried in a drier for 20 mins. We opted for a full board option as we don’t drink alcohol. Everything is extra charge they will not even give a child a bottle of water it’s ‘extra charge’ I ordered a Shisha and after 30 mins it died so I asked for extra coal I was charged $2 per coal which it utterly ridiculous. The beach is beautiful but there is very little marine life. Unfortunately I will not be back at kanfima.

Pros: Очень внимательный, отзывчивый, улыбчивый и добрый пепсонал. Чистые номера. Питание, каждый мог выбрать что ему по душе. Детский клуб. Различные активити. СПА.
Cons: Для тех кто привык к отдыху премиум класса, это ни тот отель. Одиноким парам тут точно не место. Дети по всюду и не всегда воспитанные. Те кто боится крыс, тоже не сюда. Крысы на острове перебегают вам дорогу по ночам только так. Море чистое в первой половине дня, во второй часто плавает мусор в виде использованных корок от апельсина, или вообще непонятной чёрной консистенции что то. Если хотите виллу, не берите сторону восхода( sunrise) там нельзя плавать, берег грязный и весь в кораллах и может встретится мурена. Лучше туда не лезть. Там купание запрещено. А вот сторона заката песок и чисто.

The restaurants need to improve the way they cool the tables because it is very hot and it gets very uncomfortable to have meals there. I could have stayed inside the salad room all the time.

Pros: Мы жили в вилле с бассейном (спойлер - почти не пользовались им, тк он был в тени пальм, вода была холодная). К тому же, зачем нужен бассейн, если в двух шагах от него - океан?). Насекомых замечено не было - у входа ползали муравьи, по вечерам прибегали ящерки. Качественная уборка каждый день - при желании поменяют белье (подушки пахли затхлой влажностью - просили поменять, но принесли с точно таким же запахом). Все возникающие вопросы\ситуации оперативно разрешались персоналом. Трансфер в обе стороны - чётко, без накладок. Детский клуб - отлично, но воды и перекуса для детей там нет, имейте в виду. Отпуск-мечта. Великолепное место)
Cons: Мы взяли all inclusive, в ресторан сходили 3 раза - бронировать надо сразу как приезжаешь, лист ожидания огромный, посадки по факту нет. То есть, рестораны там чисто для галочки. Не могу сказать, что какой-то ресторан поразил - Москвичей удивить сложно. Ресторанам ставлю тройку, в следующий раз мы бы в них не пошли и полный пансион не покупали бы. Что касается общей столовой со шведской линией: их на острове две - Zest и Flavour. Мы жили на вилле, к ней ближе расположен Флейвор - и в первые дни мы питались там. Потом доехали до Зэста - оказалось, что он по всем параметрам приятнее, опрятнее, чище и вкуснее. Показалось, что там больше блюд европейской кухни. В целом кухня на 4. Очень много специфических блюд индийской кухни. Специй от души. Старались искать для себя привычное для нас. Фрукты - не очень разнообразно, но все же есть. Каждый день вкусная папайя, арбузы и дыни (растут прямо на острове - ребенка водили на местную ферму!), если прийти на завтрак пораньше, то застанете и драконий фрукт)) Соки - разведено из порошка, фрешей тут нет. Десерты - очень разнообразно, красиво. Все десерты тут были для меня приторными. Потрясающе вкусные молочные изделия - разные виды сыров, потрясающая брынза, крем-сыр итд. Колбасы странные, невкусные. Снэки из сырой рыбы не поняли, как-то мимо нас прошло. Но стейк из тунца был великолепным. Еще раз - твердая 4.

Žiaden luxus, ale výborné pre deti
Pros: Ostrov je pomerne veľký v porovnaní s väčšinou na Maldivách, je tam množstvo zelene, príjemná pláž s morom v ktorom sa dá aj reálne plávať (na rozdiel od mnohých iných maldivských hotelov a pláží). Práve tento fakt vyvážil väčšinu iných nedostatkov hotela. Ubytovanie v apartmánoch je príjemné, netreba sa báť rezervovať aj lacnejšie štúdio na poschodí, oproti prízemným ponúka viac súkromia. Detský klub je vraj jeden z najlepších, deti z neho ani nechceli odchádzať (je ale preklimatizovaný a množstvo detí bolo prechladnutých). Tento rezort by som na dovolenku bez detí ani vôbec neodporúčala, zjavne láka najmä na kids-friendliness a väčšinu klientely aj tvoria rodinky s malými deťmi. Rezort ponúka praktickú apku, v ktorej sa dá pozrieť animačný program, menu v reštauráciách, objednať donáška či upratovanie, a je to ozaj praktická vec (napr v porovnaní s Hard Rock hotelom, kde bolo miestami dosť náročné sa dopátrať takýchto informácií). Celkovo je na maldivské pomery manažovaný celkom efektívne.
Cons: Ide o zjavne starší rezort, žiaden prepych z pohľadu vybavenia, čo nám síce neprekážalo, ale v úvode nás to zarazilo (nie celkom 5* kvalita na prvý pohľad). Prvý problém nastal už pri transfere z letiska, meškal niekoľko hodín a podľa vyjadrení iných hostí je to bežná prax. Čo sa týka stravovania bol hotel sklamaním, v rámci plnej penzie, resp all inclusive sú len dve “all you can eat” reštaurácie, ponúkajúce rovnaké jedlo. Lepšie je možno rezervovať len pobyt s raňajkami a doplácať si jedlo v à la carte reštauráciách, ale tiež sú drahšie než lepšie a pomerne dlho sa na jedlo čaká, čo napr. s deťmi nie je ideálne (a nemajú detské menu). Jedlo samotné nebolo zlé, vždy sa dalo niečo vybrať, ale netreba očakávať žiadne zázraky (ako napr čerstvú ovocnú šťavu pri raňajkách). Zato personá vždy ochotne pripraví pre deti aj zvlášť jedlá na požiadanie, nebol s tým nijaký problém.

From the moment I stepped in the waiting lounge in male , I knew it would have been wonderful for the whole week ahead. The sea plane flew over the ocean scattered with atolls , looking like floating pearls.|After an astonishing 40 minutes flight, we landed and a waiting boat in 5 minutes whisked us to the island. Lush green and transparent sea over the white sand welcomed us, together with the very kind staff. After a short briefing, an electric shuttle took us to our room.|Our beach studio was large fresh super clean, with a huge bathroom and shower and opened on a veranda with the most beautiful view of white sand, clear water and green vegetation.|We opted for the all inclusive so we ate at several restaurants. Amazing food in all of them, even at the buffet, such good taste and quality. I couldn’t say which one was our favourite, Azure, delicate and full of flavour. Smoke, incredibly good meat just grilled with tables on the beach. Sea Dragon the most exquisite Asian cuisine.|All the bars available for refreshing and well prepared drinks.|There are also two swimming pools that we didn’t use as we liked to stay in the pristine waters of the atoll, swimming and doing snorkelling .|We went on the complimentary one hour visit to the house reef. The boat trip to see the dolphins which graced us with their beautiful presence. Also went to the turtle quest, where wonderful turtles swim a colourful fishes swirl around them.|Everything was wonderful.|In the Maldives the main attraction is nature and couldn’t get enough to fill our eyes and enjoy the scents of the air. The pleasant walks around the island.|But nothing could have been possible without the amazing staff of Kandima. Every and each of them has been so kind, gentle, pleasant. We talked with most of them everyday and they have always been natural with a smile and a nice word.|I wanted to thank them all for having allowed us to feel very welcomed.|Couldn’t be more grateful for having been here and enjoyed life’s awesome gifts.

Прекрасный отель, отдыхали в январе с семьей. Жили на вилле, каждый день убирали, всё здорово. |Пять ресторанов, бар на центральном пляже. В центральном ресторане Flavour был отличный повар Kishan. Он готовил прекрасные индийские лепешки, просто супер. Можно подойти к нему, попросить, он сделает горячие. Дети постоянно просили. Так же каждый день бронировали разные рестораны на вечер, все на вашем уровне, больше всего понравился Sea dragon, азиатский ресторан.|Пляж отличный, кто любит плавать, нужно заплывать подальше, вначале мелко.|Кто любит спорт, есть нормальный фитнес зал и корты для тенниса. Теннис можно было играть рано утром, потом очень жарко и душно. Детей в отеле было много, дети сразу нашли себе компанию и мы вздохнули 😊.|Кто выбирает Мальдивы, советую. Всё на уровне

Food was satisfactory overall but some meals were exceptionally tasty (mainly the Indian and other middle and far east cousin) |The Sky studio was a great choice with fantastic view to the see. The daily cleaning was perfect.|Almos everyone from the staff was really exceptional and made our stay very pleasant. We felt like they are kind and helpful by nature!|But two of them are really made our stay memorable:|• Kishan at Flavour restaurant is an exceptionally great person and he makes one of the best naan breads I’ve ever tasted! :)|• Paula the dive instructor was super kind and professional when giving me a refresher course and I really felt safe with her during the Chanel dive afterwards.||there are only 3 things which I’d mentioning as room for improvement:|• I have seen the larger boats (e.g. the one making the dolphin cruise) spoiling the water when docking, which was very sad and disappointing! the black greasy spots drifted all the way to the shore at our beach studio. :(|• the machine extracting the sand from the see is extremely noise when operated and smells really bad. our studio wasn’t that close, but still it was very annoying! it should definitely be changed to a green and sustainable (together with the boats mentioned prior) solution. |• the complementary photo shooting is a nice gesture, but the whole thing fires back when not getting the digital version of the single free of charge photo. It’s just leaves a bad taste in the mouth.|All in all, we would recommend the resort and would return! Excellent value for money!

Siamo appena tornari da questa meravigliosa isola, mare e spiaggia incantevoli. Siamo stati accolti da uno staff gentilissimo che ci ha coccolato per tutta la vacanza. Abbiamo scelto la villa con piscina, grande e pulita che si affacciava su una incantevole spiaggia bianca . Bellissima la piscina enorme al centro del resort e il parco giochi per bambini. E` stata per noi una vacanza indimenticabile e ringranzio in particolare lo chef Kishan che ha sempre avuto cura che i notri piatti andassero bene, sopratutto per le mie bambine e Adam del centro diving che ha reso la nostra gita in barca un esperienza indimenticabile, facendici vedere delfini e tartarughe.

We chose Kandima Maldives for our honeymoon, from 21st to 28th January, choosing the Beach Villa with jacuzzi, which is located along the beach with direct private access, very spacious, very large external bathroom. Always clean and with daily change of towels and other items.|The atoll is quite large, there are restaurants, bars, gaming rooms, spaces for children, spa, football and tennis fields, etc, which is why it is very popular especially with families.|The food available manages to satisfy the needs of almost all nationalities.|The staff is always welcoming, smiling and ready to satisfy every request, we would like to mention in particular Rasheen (HQ), Gopal, Rasel, Jillu (Bar Breeze) and all the employees, from the reception, through the restaurants and bars, to the gardeners , maintenance members...all of them.|Wonderful sea, white sand, enchanting place, it is possible to relax but also do many activities and in the evening there are always different entertainment events.|In short, it was a pleasure to spend time in Kandima Maldives and we are satisfied with our choice.

Pros||- Island is beautiful and very well maintained|- Staff mostly very helpful (special mention to Ankita, Zima and the staff in the Zest buffet)|- Accommodation is fantastic|- Lots to do and get involved with|- Zest buffet was fab, sitting outside and great variety of food. ||Cons|- Having to pay extra for food at the pool, coffees from the coffee shop and deli. That didn’t feel “all inclusive” compared to some of the other Maldives resorts we’ve been to. The fact you can’t grab a snack on the beach or by the pool was a little bit disappointing but given the size is understandable. |- Lunch finished at 2.30. With a young child we were only finishing breakfast by 10.30, so always felt a bit rushed to then get to lunch and if you missed lunch you had to wait until 7pm. |- Little disappointed with the Ala Carte’s to be honest - some of the service was poor and the food was inconsistent. Also the consistency of Gluten free throughout including the buffets was hit and miss so we often lost a bit of confidence in what was or wasn’t GF.

Это наш 4й раз на Мальдивах и потому имеем с чем сравнить. ||Выбирая Кандима, нужно смириться с тем, что это слабые 4 звезды или даже 3+. Это не 5 звезд и вам никто не покажет сертификата 5 звезд!! ||Мы здесь второй и последний раз. Были в 2021 , но качество всего сильно упало. ||Персонал весть новый, это тоже говорит о многом. ||||Во первых начали добавлять к цене некий ++, раньше этого не было , а это на минуточку +10% обслуга, +16% налоги!!! Вот вам и срытое поднятие цены!!||||Во вторых качество еды сильно упало , еще хуже стало с разнообразием !! ||В 2021 выбор еды был как минимум в 2 раза лучше, была баранина в разнообразных блюдах, рыбы много видов, плов, и много фруктов и зелени. ||Вина поднялись в цене на 35-40%, для примера шампанское Moet Chandon Rose, 280$ +10% +16%!!! С винами тоже самое. ||Пиво Corona исчезло с баров через 3 дня и больше не появлялось. Менеджер пояснил, это остров , плохо с поставками!!!!!||Обслуживание плохое. На просьбу принести огурцы которые закончились или убрать стол, реагируют вяло, или вообще говорят больше нет огурцов. На повторную просьбу другому официанту, он приносит!!! ||Номер я не моют. Они не имеют ни ведра ни топки. Растирают грязь одной шваброй во всех номерах. Естественно в номере вонь. На многократную просьбу помыть пол водой, просто полили спрей с запахом, и стало вонять еще хуже!!!|| Антисанитария полная. Травят насекомых в ресторане Zest, 2 раза в день, при этом на столах стоит посуда и приборы!!!! Фото прилагаю!!! Зато сам чел в маске!!!!||Видели крыс возле столовой Flavor и рецепшен. ||Вороны. Таскают еду прямо с тарелок :) ||Про мухи тут уже писали, их реально много. Потому опасно есть на ужин что либо , кроме фруктов.||Вообще уровень сильно просел, по сравнению с 2021. Это видно даже по контингенту отдыхающих. ||||Менеджмент можно понять. Топливо выросло - соотвественно все выросло. Потому Экономят на всем. Это сказывается на персонале, охлаждении помещений, размере порций, ценах и элементарно на льде, который тает за 2 минуты!! Но возвращаться при таком сервисе и цене никто не будет. А заплатили мы не дешево, было много вариантов , в том числе сетевых отелей типа Hard Rock, RIU, Firemont за те же деньги. Поехали ради детей в Кандима.||||Среди прочего из 7 проведенных дней на острове, 5 шел дождь. Это конечно не проблема менеджмента, но можно был проявить лояльность заинтересовать чем-то людей, организовать что либо, сделать скидку наконец ! Короче это не сервис!||Из хорошего : остров красив, большой, зеленый. Есть много активностей. Футбол, теннис ….||В Aquaholic ;( водные активити) есть толковый менеджер, Азиз, если бы не он, то мы бы и этих денег не потратил - но он скоро тоже уйдет с этого отеля.||Интернет слабый, потому советую при прилете в Мале, купить сим карту за 50$ для интернета.

Были здесь в 2021 году на Новый Год и решили вернуться 2023 году на Новый Год из-за детей, так как остров большой и для детей было и есть много разных развлечений. Но вот беда с едой, по сравнению в 2021 годом, очень скудное меню. Нет разнообразия и качество упало к тому же даже за деньги, много чего нет в наличии (пиво, орешки). Шеф повара пытались исправить ситуацию, но они лимитированы,так как продукты одни и те же а новых поступление нет - Экономят. 10 дней кушать тоже самое… надоедает. Так же в этом году добавилось к прайсу автоматически 10% за услуги и 16% налогов чего раньше не было. Я согласна заплатить 20$ за коктейль если он качественный, а не такой как мне дали и с дешевым льдом которые через 2 мин превратился в воду и в итоге половину коктейля я не допила. Вино и шампанского за сумашедшие деньги Moët 280 $ + 10% и 16 % |Номера не моют, влажной уборки нет вообще, пол липкий и неприятный запах. Возле виллы на воде поставили вышки 5G

На Мальдивах четвертый раз .Были в отеле 22 дня с пакетом все включено. У нас была вилла на воде . Отель очень большой , но там ездит каждые 15-20 минут електроавтобус который довезет Вас в любое место отеля. Есть несколько ресторанов ,но мы использовали только основные на завтрак ,обед и иногда ужин . Уборка в номере была быстрая и качественная . Хочу отметить ,что еда очень разнообразная и надо похвалить в этом отношении отель. Была даже свинина . Мы не едим свинину , и знаем , что ввоз свинины на Мальдивы запрещен , поэтому надо отметить старание отеля доставить удовольствие гостям которые едят свинину. Для детей есть целый городок , а для желающих развлечься на воде есть водные мотоциклы, катера, бананы, доски , парашюты и другое. Но в отеле есть серьезные недостатки. Кондиционирование вилл на воде очень слабое . На кондиционере ( во всех виллах на воде )стоит минимум 18.5 градусов ( отель экономит електроенергию ) Но это делает в вилле в течении дня температуру 24-29 градусов , что для меня очень жарко. Несколько раз вызывали механиков , которые говорили , что не возможно понизить температуру на кондиционере и только после того как мы попросили прийти менеджера ,сделали температуру 15.5 градусов. Но мощности кондиционирования все равно не хватило и мы попросили поменять виллу. Нас пересилили из виллы 449 в виллу 402. Там было несколько лучше ( 22 - 27 градусов в зависимости от времени суток ) . Никогда не берите виллу 449 . Последняя ступенька там минимум метр от дна и когда отлив она висит на воздухе и надо быть акробатом , чтобы залезть назад в виллу и не выдуть себе грыжу или геморой (во вложении фото ) . Обращаюсь к владельцам отеля - заставьте ваших менеджеров покупаться в океане при отливе в вилле 449 . Уверен они сразу что нибудь придумают ,чтобы можно было нормально выходить из океана.| Мини бар имеет пиво ,вино, фанту, спрайт, колу и соки. С учетом того , что в отеле на баре совсем плохое вино ( хотя испанское , но думаю самое дешевое ) , я попросил чтобы в мини бар носили 4 бутылки вина ( стандартно 2 бутылки ,375 мл. Производство Чили ) и только кока колу без пива ( стандартно 4 банки ) и фант в. Нам сказали , без проблем так как у нас все включено и можем делать мини бар как хотим. Было очень не приятно когда мы улетали нам выставили счет на почти 700 евро , за то что нам давали в мини бар 2 бутылки вина больше. Я считаю, что менеджеры этого отеля дешевые ОБМАНЩИКИ. Хотя я звонил менеджеру Даниелю чтобы объяснили что происходит , но он зная что мы улетаем не взял телефон. Мы с таким столкнулись первый раз , хотя ездим много по миру. Официально прошу владельцев отеля написать ваш расчетный счет куда я могу отправить небольшую денежную сумму , которую вы потратите на обучение ваших менеджеров элементарной порядочности. | Перед отлетом я чем то отравился ( в столовых отеля чисто и это не отелевская еда) и попросил обычный активированный уголь ( свой мы уже съели но еще раз повторюсь в столовых отеля чисто и соблюдают гигиену . Хотя очень много мух и из за мух мы не ездили на ужин - ужин был сплошное отмахивание от мух. Когда спросил почему, сказали ,что прошли дожди и влажно. Это может быть , я в этом не специалист , хотя на других островах мух не было) Сказали ,что надо к врачу и ничего не дали .| Поэтому мы туда больше не ногой и вам не рекомендуем. Поверьте ,Мальдивы прекрасны и Вы можете там найти настоящие отели диаманты или встрять.

Отвратительный отель. Это не мальдивы!!! И не про Мальдивы. Начнем по порядку. 1. Еда. Ужасная еда в буфетах, есть невозможно ничего, все настолько отвратительно невкусно, что ходили голодные и на ужин ходили в ресторан аля карт, хотя был оплачен пакет завтрак, обед, ужин. Даже рождественский стол умудрились испортить, не могут приготовить даже элементарно креветки и рыбу, все настолько невкусно что удивительно что как так можно испортить простое блюдо. 2. Спа просто ужасен, за 180$ за 90 минут привели в комнату похожую на тюремную, выдали грязны, старый и мятый костюм в катышках , на просьбу заменить дали такой же, вода для ног была после кого то грязная, прям черная и только после просьбы заменить ее поменяли. Массаж проходил на мате валяющимся на полу и застеленным желтой как обоссаной простыней. Не предложили даже душ. Такого ужаса я нигде не видела и это за 200$, в лучших спа мальдив с прекрасным обслуживанием , красивыми комнатами точно такая же цена !!!. 3. Обслуживания нет вообще, официанты не обслуживают в буфетах, даже стакан воды никто не нальет, в номерах также обслуживания нет, блюда за 50$ приносят в номер в картонной коробке без приборов, мне принесли пасту в пластиковом стакане!!! И это отель типо 5 звезд. Опять же повторюсь что в этом гадюшнике цены на услуги и еду такие же как в приличных отелях!!! 4. Антисанитария. В буфетах летают стаями мухи, все приборы и стаканы грязные и заляпанные, в основном буфете столы не убирают по часу, как на помойке честное слово, по острову стаями бегают огромные крысы!!! В номерах также грязь, все непромыто и неухоженно, горячую воду можно ждать по 15 минут. 5 . Флора и фауна. Рыбы нет никакой, такого еще не видели на мальдивах. Жалкие 2 рыбешки проплывают иногда . Аистов нет, зато летает куча ворон и мух. Сам остров длинный , некрасивый, песок не мальдивский , насыпной, кроме 1 качелей никаких фотозон просто ничего. 6. Мы повелись на детский клуб и развлечения для детей. По факту это комната с переломанными игрушками, где дети ходят друг у друга по головам, никакой приличной анимации там нет. Не верьте. Этот отель это большой обман и те кто его пиарит получают свои деньги, либо бесплатный отпуск в этом месте. Так что Если вы не хотите испортить себе отдых , то не приезжайте сюда. Рассмотрите другое место. Отель просто наживается на людях, услуги и цены полностью не соответствуют обслуживанию. За эти или чуть большие деньги можно снять прекрасный отель и получить настоящие мальдивы со вкусной едой, прекрасным спа и обслуживанием 5 звезд, а не побывать на помойке. Нам пришлось менять обратные билеты и продлевать отдых в другом отеле, так как отдыхом в кандиме этот ужас было нельзя назвать!!! Остров еще находится очень далеко от Мале , и когда вы поймете в какой гадюшник вы попали , то выбраться будет не так просто. Мы заплатили 1800$ за 2 взр и 1 реб за гидросамолет туда обратно. Это очень дорого для этого отвратительного места. И отдохнули потом прекрасно в отличном отеле, где качество и услуги были на высоте!!! Этот отель 3 звезды эконом класса максимум и это не мальдивы! Только название.

Лично я спас двоих Пакистанцев которые тонули небыло знаков, что имеется резкий обрыв в океане. Пляж возле названия отеля где ресторан алиакарт.Нет спасателей!!! Много Казахов которые просто целый день с бассейна не вылазили пили и как говорится ходили туда. Не советую ходить в бассейн!!! Много детей которые были больные кашель стоял на весь отель!

The transfer to the hotel was unexpectedly prolonged, taking nearly a full day due to an oversight by the hotel's staff in booking our waterplane ride. Initially, the staff's commitment to addressing this issue fell short of our expectations. However, on the second day, the resort manager, who was both friendly and dedicated, proactively approached us to resolve the concerns. This interaction has significantly improved our impression of the hotel, and we are now optimistic about enjoying a perfect holiday here.

Incredible experience, from the moment we landed at the airport there were staff to help guide us to our domestic flight, and insure we arrived to the island smoothly. They made my birthday extra special by decorating our bed, our dinner table and bringing out a special dessert! The food is incredible, there was vegan options at every venue but dinners were the best at all three restaurants. I highly recommend Sea Dragon, Edam made sure we had the best dinners, including customized spicy drinks! And the view of the stars from the outside seating was unmatched. Staying in the aqua villas is a must! Being able to swim off the deck was one of our favorite parts of the trip. The sunset from there was breathtaking! The activities were amazing, we did the sunset cruise, dolphin and turtle quest, as well as snorkeling at the house reef and kayaking. Definitely don't skip the spa! They made sure I was comfortable throughout the massages and I left feeling more relaxed than I thought possible! Overall an incredible experience staying here!

We stayed here around Oct '2022 for our honeymoon for the first time in Maldives. We stayed in the beach villa and then shifted to the sunrise pool villa for 2 nights. We have visited 3 resorts in Maldives until now and we must say, for good sunset skies photo, great food, clean room and 2-3 swimming pools is the best. The only downside is after our international flight we had to catch a short domestic flight and a speed boat which was a little hectic and by the time we reached the hotel it was already sunset time. The breakfast buffet had many options, the dinner buffet was good especially the Indian food counter and an entire room for desserts. But, dessert quality could be better even if quantity is less. The staff was friendly and loved that there was buggy service.

I had the most incredible 5-day stay at Kandima in the Maldives, and I can't thank the staff enough for making it so memorable! This was my third time here, and each visit surpasses the last. From the moment I arrived at the airport to the heartwarming farewell, every moment was filled with excitement and joy. The staff at Kandima truly redefine hospitality with their warm and welcoming smiles. It's like coming home to a family you never knew you had. Their genuine friendliness adds an extra layer of magic to this already enchanting paradise. The food at Kandima is nothing short of spectacular and diverse. From sumptuous international cuisine to mouthwatering local delicacies, every meal was a culinary delight. The flavors and variety were beyond my expectations, and I couldn't get enough of the delectable dishes. The water activities at Kandima were nothing short of marvelous! Whether it was snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, diving into the vibrant underwater world, or simply enjoying the serenity of the ocean, every moment spent in the water was pure bliss. But what made this trip truly special was seeing the smiles on my child's and wife's faces as they explored the diverse range of places and activities. The spa treatments were heavenly, and the swimming experiences were incredibly refreshing. Kandima even took care of our well-being with top-notch body care services. And let's not forget Kidsland! It was a paradise within paradise, and the staff there were so friendly and attentive. My child had an absolute blast, and that made our vacation even more memorable. As I say goodbye to Kandima, I know for sure that this won't be my last visit. The memories created here are priceless, and the joy of this holiday will stay with me forever. Kandima is more than a resort; it's a paradise where every moment is filled with excitement and happiness. Thank you, Kandima, for another unforgettable experience! Mansour

Wow! Had the most idyllic 10 days at Kandima Maldives. Arrived by sea plane which was a fabulous experience and stayed in a Beach Studio waking up every morning to views of the pristine beach and beautiful blue Indian Ocean. Our studio was bright and spacious with a lovely bathroom and shower. It was cleaned and serviced daily to a high standard by our suite attendant Samih. We enjoyed the snorkelling, kayaking, paddle boarding and have seen sharks, rays, turtles whilst standing on the beach. The 2 pools at either end of the island were amazing with great pool bars. All the restaurants serve excellent food and every single member of staff were helpful and friendly. I really cannot fault this place and will most definitely return to this paradise!

We came here for our honeymoon and it was simply unreal. The staff were amazing, especially Rayan at Male airport. He was beyond helpful and so polite and professional, he made us feel at ease when we were stressed about missing our sea plane. Flavour and Zest are decent buffets but Smoked and Sea Dragon are worth booking! We stayed in an Aqua Villa and loved it. The staff were just incredible and we'd love to come back.

Just leaving this paradise island, doing so with the heaviest of hearts. Firstly, the people. The nicest, friendliest and hard working team I have ever experienced in any hospitality venue anywhere in the world and I've been to a lot. It seems hard to single anyone out, but I must give special mentions to Carmela and Rasel in the Breeze Bar. They are the very definition of care above and beyond any kind of expectations. All the brilliant Breeze team were expertly and gently marshalled by the bar manager Gopal. Everything about this place is of the highest quality from the accommodation through to the food and all points in between. It's a bit of a distance from Male so best arrive by seaplane. Finally if you stay in beach villa 525 please say hello to the little reef shark that swims past at 0630 every morning, the best way to start the day here.

Всех приветствую) Я была уже много в каких странах, но отзыв решила написать впервые об этом прекрасном острове и отеле! Дух захватывает с первой минуты прилета на остров от нереальной красоты. куда не посмотри - все просто картинки с открытки Красивее океана я еще не видела.Чистый, лазурный, безумно теплый и мягкий, красивейший пляж, белоснежный песок и то что мне очень понравилось - каждое утро его чистят и выравнивают, как и весь остров. Обувь практически вообще не нужна, по всему острову все люди ходят босиком и это максимально комфортно и безопасно. Я жила в Sky Studio на втором этаже и это был прекрасный выбор, поскольку с балкона открывался прекраснейший вид на океан,пляж, закат и территориально это очень удобно, если поселиться примерно с 206 по 220 номера, поскольку находишься посередине острова и все от тебя в ближайшей доступности. Что касаемо кухни - в целом вполне неплохо, есть все,большой выбор блюд из мяса, рыбы, большой выбор гарниров и овощей, правда разнообразия фруктов хотелось бы видеть больше. Что касаемо бара - большой выбор алкоголя, очень вкусный проссеко) много разнообразных коктейлей. Бар работает с 10:00 и до 00:00, после можно перебраться в номер, где в минибаре есть 4 баночки пива, 2 бутылки вина (красное, белое полусухое), вода, кола, фанта, спрайт.Бар обновляют каждое утро) Конечно лучше приобретать "All inclusive", поскольку люди которые брали только завтраки и ужины, в конечном итоге оплачивали счета на приличную сумму, поскольку цены на все коктейли и прочее далеко не самые приятные + к этому сверху на все считают еще налог +16% к стоимости и так один коктейль обходится в 2тыс рублей) Из вечерних развлечений это каждый день приятная живая музыка или дискотека в клубе, все работает до 00:00, но если вас много веселящихся людей, то вечеринку не прерывают, так несколько раз мы тусили до 02:00 ночи) Я летала одна, но скучно не было от слова совсем.Очень порадовало, что тут много русскоговорящего персонала, я плохо знаю английский, но с этим тут нет совершенно никаких проблем. Особенно я рада, что познакомилась с фитнес-инструктором Юлией (отдельная любовь), она очень круто проводит для гостей отеля различные водные игры, ходила к ней на йогу по утрам- это просто отдельный восторг, и в целом было ощущение, что я прилетела с подругой отдыхать, так мы сдружились, еще она круто фотографирует и без красивых мальдивских фотографий меня не оставила)))) На ресепшене тоже девочки русскоговорящие Камила и Малика, которые тоже очень мне помогали со всеми вопросами на протяжении всего отдыха, большое спасибо! В aquaholics ( это клуб, откуда все отправляются на водные экскурсии и развлечения) работает Катя, она тоже с России, помогала с выбором экскурсий каждый день и очень подробно обо всем рассказывала. Благодаря этим людям мой отдых прошел максимально комфортно, круто и ярко, большое спасибо Kandima Maldives !

Fantastic short stay at Kandima. From the start, we were greeted at Malé Airport and assisted us with our transfer. On arrival at the resort, we were welcomed with some cold towels. It’s a small gesture but it’s refreshing and well appreciated after a long travel. Smooth check process and handy RFID bands for access to your rooms. These are great when you are active and/or out in the ocean a lot. And upon entering our room for the first time, they had a lovely ‘Happy Birthday’ display prepared on the bed. Don’t worry, it was indeed my birthday - not a random greeting! We stayed in an Aqua Villa which meant we had direct access to the ocean. We were also close to the coral reef so it was nice to be able to have a quick explore just outside your doorstep. We even spotted a few manta rays and variety of fish just under our villa. You are provided with everything you need in the rooms including a hairdryer, robes and complimentary flip flops (lovely little addition). Kandima have their own app which makes it super easy to check what activities they have going on throughout the week. You can also find other bits of info on there as well as ordering room service, or even requesting a room clean! We ordered room service once. There was a delivery cost but can’t fault the food. Asides from that, we had the buffet breakfasts and dinners everyday which you can have at either Flavour (towards reception area) or Zest (close to the villas). Good selection of food. The parathas were super popular so if you like these, you may have to queue a little. Not necessarily a bad thing as it means you’ll get yours fresh! Always ripe fruits available. And with my massive sweet tooth, I appreciated their selection of desserts very much! We also ordered a pizza and some cocktails at the Breeze Bar for a quick midday bite. We had the Frutti Di Mare pizza and my goodness, this was to die for. Who knew baby octopus on a pizza would work? If you like seafood and you like pizza, I highly recommend this! Night life at the resort is also really good. They have activities daily. We popped over to Forbidden Bar for some shisha and drinks where they had a live DJ. On another night, we booked a table at their Smoked Restaurant and had the K’Twins singing beautifully throughout the evening. (They take requests!) Unfortunately, I didn’t get to use the gym facilities as I was so busy enjoying myself in other activities but I did have a quick visit and you have everything you need in there for a good workout. One of the things I did join though was sunset yoga lead by Sarita. This was very beautiful and she supported everyone of all different levels and abilities. Also got ourselves a massage during our stay. This was held in an ocean facing room. Very peaceful hearing the waves whilst the masseuses were doing their thing. Before you go in for your treatment, you’ll be asked which area you’d like them to focus on and how much pressure you prefer. Believe me, it wasn’t just a question for the sake of it (I’ve experienced some places like this). They applied your preference very well. Out in the sea excursions! I really wanted to see some of the seas beautiful creatures but you really have to understand that there’s never any guarantee that on your trip you will get to see them. Be prepared for that! We went on the dolphin cruise first and after an hour of cruising the seas, we were so lucky to see so many around us before heading back. We then did the turtle quest the next day. Sadly didn’t get to see any but we saw so many different types of fish which still made the trip worth it. Also had really great guides with us that would point out all the exotic fish and also support us in the water. Note that you’ll be face down snorkelling for ages so make sure you are well sunscreened before you dive in! The only “downside” I would say about Kandima is that it is a huge island so sometimes you’d find yourself waiting a little while for their complimentary buggy service to get you around. I don’t mind a good walk so it didn’t bother me so much. It’s about 10-15 minutes from main reception area to the villas. Obviously a lot quicker in a buggy. There’s also a lot of coral by some areas of the ocean villas so as a precaution, I’d recommend aqua shoes. Another thing is that this is a very green island meaning that there are quite a bit of mosquitoes so just make sure that you come prepared with repellent and keep topping this up like you would with sunscreen! Honestly, our stay was amazing. Superb experience and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. All staff from cleaners to chefs to management were warm and friendly. Even caught conversations with Derick and also Alyne who suggested some good sights. It hadn’t really crossed our mind to visit Aroma Café but I’m grateful this was suggested as we got to see three nurse sharks in the lake and I also had a little play on the piano. (I am a past musician so it wasn’t just a few random notes!) But seriously, if you’re considering Kandima Maldives, definitely just go for it!

we have stayed 7 nights in a Sky studio. first time in Maldives and we just could not get enough of the view and the colours of this paradise island! The staff did everything from booking to getting on our departure plan at Male to make the stay as perfect as possible. Food was satisfactory overall but some meals were exceptionally tasty (mainly the Indian and other middle and far east cousin) The Sky studio was a great choice with fantastic view to the see. The daily cleaning was perfect. Almos everyone from the staff was really exceptional and made our stay very pleasant. We felt like they are kind and helpful by nature! But two of them are really made our stay memorable: • Kishan at Flavour restaurant is an exceptionally great person and he makes one of the best naan breads I’ve ever tasted! :) • Paula the dive instructor was super kind and professional when giving me a refresher course and I really felt safe with her during the Chanel dive afterwards. there are only 3 things which I’d mentioning as room for improvement: • I have seen the larger boats (e.g. the one making the dolphin cruise) spoiling the water when docking, which was very sad and disappointing! the black greasy spots drifted all the way to the shore at our beach studio. :( • the machine extracting the sand from the see is extremely noise when operated and smells really bad. our studio wasn’t that close, but still it was very annoying! it should definitely be changed to a green and sustainable (together with the boats mentioned prior) solution. • the complementary photo shooting is a nice gesture, but the whole thing fires back when not getting the digital version of the single free of charge photo. It’s just leaves a bad taste in the mouth. All in all, we would recommend the resort and would return! Excellent value for money!

From the moment I stepped in the waiting lounge in male , I knew it would have been wonderful for the whole week ahead. The sea plane flew over the ocean scattered with atolls , looking like floating pearls. After an astonishing 40 minutes flight, we landed and a waiting boat in 5 minutes whisked us to the island. Lush green and transparent sea over the white sand welcomed us, together with the very kind staff. After a short briefing, an electric shuttle took us to our room. Our beach studio was large fresh super clean, with a huge bathroom and shower and opened on a veranda with the most beautiful view of white sand, clear water and green vegetation. We opted for the all inclusive so we ate at several restaurants. Amazing food in all of them, even at the buffet, such good taste and quality. I couldn’t say which one was our favourite, Azure, delicate and full of flavour. Smoke, incredibly good meat just grilled with tables on the beach. Sea Dragon the most exquisite Asian cuisine. All the bars available for refreshing and well prepared drinks. There are also two swimming pools that we didn’t use as we liked to stay in the pristine waters of the atoll, swimming and doing snorkelling . We went on the complimentary one hour visit to the house reef. The boat trip to see the dolphins which graced us with their beautiful presence. Also went to the turtle quest, where wonderful turtles swim a colourful fishes swirl around them. Everything was wonderful. In the Maldives the main attraction is nature and couldn’t get enough to fill our eyes and enjoy the scents of the air. The pleasant walks around the island. But nothing could have been possible without the amazing staff of Kandima. Every and each of them has been so kind, gentle, pleasant. We talked with most of them everyday and they have always been natural with a smile and a nice word. I wanted to thank them all for having allowed us to feel very welcomed. Couldn’t be more grateful for having been here and enjoyed life’s awesome gifts.

Прекрасный отель, отдыхали в январе с семьей. Жили на вилле, каждый день убирали, всё здорово. Пять ресторанов, бар на центральном пляже. В центральном ресторане Flavour был отличный повар Kishan. Он готовил прекрасные индийские лепешки, просто супер. Можно подойти к нему, попросить, он сделает горячие. Дети постоянно просили. Так же каждый день бронировали разные рестораны на вечер, все на вашем уровне, больше всего понравился Sea dragon, азиатский ресторан. Пляж отличный, кто любит плавать, нужно заплывать подальше, вначале мелко. Кто любит спорт, есть нормальный фитнес зал и корты для тенниса. Теннис можно было играть рано утром, потом очень жарко и душно. Детей в отеле было много, дети сразу нашли себе компанию и мы вздохнули 😊. Кто выбирает Мальдивы, советую. Всё на уровне

Pros - Island is beautiful and very well maintained - Staff mostly very helpful (special mention to Ankita, Zima and the staff in the Zest buffet) - Accommodation is fantastic - Lots to do and get involved with - Zest buffet was fab, sitting outside and great variety of food. Cons - Having to pay extra for food at the pool, coffees from the coffee shop and deli. That didn’t feel “all inclusive” compared to some of the other Maldives resorts we’ve been to. The fact you can’t grab a snack on the beach or by the pool was a little bit disappointing but given the size is understandable. - Lunch finished at 2.30. With a young child we were only finishing breakfast by 10.30, so always felt a bit rushed to then get to lunch and if you missed lunch you had to wait until 7pm. - Little disappointed with the Ala Carte’s to be honest - some of the service was poor and the food was inconsistent. Also the consistency of Gluten free throughout including the buffets was hit and miss so we often lost a bit of confidence in what was or wasn’t GF.

We chose Kandima Maldives for our honeymoon, from 21st to 28th January, choosing the Beach Villa with jacuzzi, which is located along the beach with direct private access, very spacious, very large external bathroom. Always clean and with daily change of towels and other items. The atoll is quite large, there are restaurants, bars, gaming rooms, spaces for children, spa, football and tennis fields, etc, which is why it is very popular especially with families. The food available manages to satisfy the needs of almost all nationalities. The staff is always welcoming, smiling and ready to satisfy every request, we would like to mention in particular Rasheen (HQ), Gopal, Rasel, Jillu (Bar Breeze) and all the employees, from the reception, through the restaurants and bars, to the gardeners , maintenance members...all of them.

This is a big resort with a more restaurants and the fact that it is large with many guests makes it not very cosy and comparable with big resorts in other countries like Turkey and Egypt. It makes also the arrangements not very flexible and customer oriented, lot of things need to be reserved and booked, something I don’t like much on my vacation, there are many “rules”. The restaurants are of different quality, the buffet restaurants, that are in the standard and half board package are average with many people around. The other restaurants that are only part of the “all inclusive” package are nice and more cosy and calm. When not having all inclusive they are pretty expensive. For the price of this resort I expected higher quality of overall experience and there are better alternatives in Maldives. The people visiting are more than half Russian, some UK and other nationalities.

Kandima Resort in the Maldives is a beautiful and relaxing place by the ocean. The villas are comfortable with a mix of modern and local designs. Chef Kishan makes amazing meals that taste and look great. Kishan is fantastic at creating delicious indian food, desserts and wonderful presentation as well . We have stayed there for 5 nights and everyday kishan prepare best and lip smaking food for us. We are more in loved with this resort just because of Chef Kishan. We are looking forward for more stay with Kandima.

Had a lovely weeks holiday with husband and 2 grown up daughters. Stayed in studios on the beach which were perfect and enjoyed wonderful food at all the restaurants on the dine in around option. Only negative there is that people book up the a la carte restaurants and then many don’t turn up or cancel their booking so it meant sometimes our only option was to eat quite late despite there being empty tables. The staff were all so friendly and really well trained, especially Zain who was at Smoke and Zest restaurants who was amazing, he looked after us brilliantly, very thoughtful and kind young man who really made our week extra special. It’s a shame some of the other guests weren’t as appreciative of the staff. A beautiful island and would absolutely love to go back one day. Congrats to Indika the Manager who was very approachable and is obviously doing a great job!

We had an amazing time at Kandima over new years. despite the island being busy, the resort manager Dani, was incredibly kind and attentive. DJ played a couple nights at the Breeze pool bar and we had a fantastic time. my kids really enjoyed the fire show as well as the maldivian dance. only damper on our holiday was that it was quite rainy, just unpredictable rain although that is not something we can control. would highly recommend for a memorable family vacation, and we are looking forward to going back soon!

Pros: - Beautiful place 8/10: Overall we are satisfied, however there are no as many animals as we assumed, but we still saw sharks, delphins, various fishes and etc.) - Reef 6/10: There is a reef with various animals but not something like national geographic videos. However it is not fault of Kandima, reefs are dying all over the world because of climate change. Still worth to visit, variois fishes and etc. Good for beginners of snorkling. You can do it near aqua villas even if you cannot swim as reef is not so deep there. - Cleanliness 7/10: Overall Okish cleanliness. But there is trash in the back of island, bedshits/pillows have some marks and etc. - Good service 7/10: Workers are positive and helpful, but sometimes they fail to solve problems and most time there is only one person in reception so you should wait for your turn. As example, it took 3 days to fix jacuzzi. - Safety 8/10: Overall its safe in island no dangerous bugs or marine life. However I suggest to get swimmimg shoes if you plan snorkling as reef stones are sharp. - Aqua villas are realy great 9/10 :) Cons: -Prices! Asked breakfast to room for two people. Costs 155 USD??!! And this is despite the fact that a) our plan included free breakfast. b) breakfast was avarage like in 2 star hotel. Same for restaurant and buffet. Main problem is not the price itself but the fact that this things does not worth the price they ask! I could understand if there were specific dishes and meals or if each meal were designed in elite style, but you offer 2 star hotel buffet dinner and brekfast for the cost of 5 star elite buffet??!! - Food is a disaster! About 75 usd per person for worst buffet I have ever seen (and I really saw many variation in different resorts and countries). Despite there is a wide variaty of food, they all taste awful. Even simple things like sausages, mashed potato, fish, juices and etc. are really bad. Wrongly used seasoning, under or over cooked dishes. It seems that they have all variety of ingredients but they dont know how to mix (or dont want?) and how to cook it. Maybe they do this on purpose so you pay 75 USD and eat nothing ;). If you have opportunity, book restaurant ( u shpild book them few days before). But consider that prices in restaurants are too high and food is also not good (but still brtter than buffet) - Almost no wifi. I dont know if they limit speed or something. But I was strugling and suffering even when watching youtube. Luckily I bought simcard in airport (50gb for 40 usd). Also some websites and services are blocked in their wifi. Tips and tricks: - Purchase sim card with internet (50gb for 40 usd) when you arrive to Male. But pick carrier carefully! Ask which works better in Kandima!!! - As soon as you arrive book restaurans and activities so that there will be place for you. - There is a lake behind art cafe. You can rent boat (25 USD for 30 minutes) and there are sharks to see) - Download and use Kandima app as soon as u arrive to island and ask reception to register you in app. App is not the best but still helpful to see what activities you can do and when it starts. -Pick aqua villas on the side of sunset. - Take swimming shoes if you plan snorkling - Be ready that food is in general awful

A perfect place to unwind and relax! Staff were a delight to be around, and so helpful! The villa we stayed at was stunning, with all the privacy and amenities we needed. The resort is a perfect place for us as we had the option to choose our activities as it suited us best; whether we wanted to spend time in private or whether we wanted to enjoy some company with live music and drinks at the bar. We keep coming back to this resort ( this is our 5th time) because it's like our second home now. If you'd like to get the best of Maldives, definitely don't look away! It's our kind of place! Can’t wait to go back!

Amazing holiday. The food in buffet is not very much for Chinese mouth, but it was great because there’s almost every style of something. Big island with long beautiful beach. The activities in the pool was fun. Thanks to Jordan for recommending all the fun things for us and giving us best recommendations of everything. All the staffs in the island is very happy and helpful. The staff at the bar is very professional, samah is extremely friendly, like his warm smile and greeting. Also the girls at the spa, very kind and helpful. Sometimes we had to wait for the bus for a little longer than expected but as we meet the bus, they always seems to recognize us and make little conversations and make us happy. Smoked and Aroma is definitely a recommendation. Kokko from water sports was our snorkeling guide, very patient and helpful. Overall, everything was Amazing and memorable. Thank you for giving us some beautiful memories. We hope to come back if there’s a chance.

I recently stayed at Hotel Kandima for two weeks, and it was truly a beautiful experience with a fantastic tropical vibe. The staff were remarkable, promptly resolving issues like an air conditioning malfunction in the middle of the night. Meeting the chef, who walked us through the menu concepts and the commitment to quality and diversity, made our dining experiences delightful throughout our stay. Opting for the seaplane was the best decision, providing a stunning arrival. The hotel is family-oriented, yet honeymooners can find their own space. The daily football arrangement was a hit with the kids, and we appreciated the family-friendly atmosphere. However, the bus frequency was a bit lacking; bikes should be free and readily available, especially for families with kids staying far to the main buildings. While we enjoyed the restaurants and easily secured reservations, there were quite a few flies, and mosquitoes posed a challenge. A suggestion would be to provide candles or alternative solutions. Anyway take with you some candles anti mosquito to have outside your rooms if you stay in the villas and lots of repellent . he cleanliness and overall beauty of the hotel were commendable. One area for improvement is the Kids Club, which lacked activities for teenagers. Despite this, our overall experience at Hotel Kandima was very good, offering a clean and beautiful tropical retreat with excellent staff and dining options. We are family of 4 with kids 6 and 8 years old.

We recently stayed at Kandima for 4 nights in the last week of December. Since it was the festive period, we were aware there would be a lot of activities in addition to all the other regular ones. And yes, there were a lot of events every day & night but we were able to enjoy the quiet seclusion in our beach pool villa. Yes, we are a bit of hermits, that value our privacy. There’s something very special about Kandima. I am not sure whether if its the uniqueness of the island, (more than 2kms long, if I'm not wrong) the huge lagoon with shades of blue, the silky white beaches all around the island, the food- which had a lot of varieties and tastes so good- to say the least, the friendliness and hospitable-eagerness of each and every staff. It’s just simply hard to pin point a sole “culprit” But I must say at Kandima we have the option of choosing to have a “active” holiday or secluded- quieter one. For this reason alone Kandima has always been the destination for our holidays the last couple of years. A special shout out to Varuna, the front office manager, who arranged everything for our trip from A to Z. She even accommodated some last-minute changes , which I’m pretty sure would have been not easy, as the hotel was practically full. The lovely staff at HQ is super approachable therefore we never felt hesitant to ask for anything. Everyone at Zest & Breeze were lovely, even adjusted to some requests we had. We loved the bus/ buggy rides, the drivers are warm and friendly. After just 2 rides, they all knew our drop offs. This was our 5th holiday at Kandima. We would certainly be back for the 6th time ;)
