A nice property but especially the people taking care of us. Especially to mention Mira at the reception who provided valuable advice, Ahmed in the restaurant serving us always with a smiling face, Rahuman who kept the rooms tidy with a smile and also Sattar making beautiful flower chains. Thanks to all of you. You made our stay a perfect one.

If relaxation and simply enjoying the majesty of God is on your menu, this is the place for you. The paid actors are the beauty of the Indian Ocean that you get to marvel in from the overwater bungalows and the incredible staff. They are so sweet and attentive. Everyone. The bartenders made me "my own" cocktail and the ladies at the spa have been blessed with magical hands. Also, the all inclusive package is a really good value!

An Unforgettable Stay in Paradise We recently had the pleasure of staying at this stunning property in the Maldives, and I can confidently say it was an experience beyond perfection. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our stay was seamless and memorable. The service was truly impeccable. Every request was met with promptness and care, and the staff’s attention to detail was outstanding. Whether it was personalized dining experiences, organizing excursions, or just the daily housekeeping, everything was handled with grace and professionalism. The team made us feel like the most important guests at the resort, catering to our every need.

Exactly what I expected. Rooms were awesome and well kept. Great privacy on the balcony. Loved accessibility to the ocean and waking up to waves crashing on the reef. Food was decent with a lot of options. Would go back for sure!!

Superior ocean view room was modern and more spacious than expected. Managed to see dolphins swimming nearby on some mornings. Staff were very helpful. Resort is overall well maintained. Snorkelling on the beach lagoon was amazing - many variety of fish were seen.

We just finished our 13 day holiday in the Maldives and our stay at Cinnamon Dhonveli was definitely a highlight. We loved all the little details at Cinnamon and the staff was super friendly while making sure you have a 5 star experience. They had a really good local band one night and it was so much fun ! We loved that they seem to cater to every type of traveler. Akila at the surf bar and Niyaz our waiter were amazing and made us feel at home. The dive shop took us to see Mantas! Overall amazing experience we will definitely come back to Cinnamon Dhonveli next time we are in this part of the world.

Cinnamon

As an older adult with knee surgeries, I found the sand pathways to be tricky. There were not many lights so I could not find my way safely to dinner (dark early in January). The boardwalk to my restaurant was under repair. Staff generally excellent, but a few common courtesies were missed here and there. One young man did retrieve my hat which blew off during a wind storm, so I was grateful to him! Spa staff also outstanding -- especially Ita.
Sylvia, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very relaxing. Most staff very nice and accommodating. A few weren’t as friendly. I also noticed they allow garbage to float in the ocean around the shore, which bothered me, but apparently not them. Styrofoam, glass, plastic, wrappers, chips containers, etc. also looked like sewage leaking into water big time along one side of beach. Room also wasn’t too clean and had a lot of bugs. Bedding also smelled a little like previous guests sweat. But what to expect when it’s an island?! Food was amazing! All you could want and more. Very relaxing vibe overall. Thankful there was no loud, blaring music or rowdiness. Felt safe and comfortable. Would recommend!

I would like to thank the staff at Cinnamon Dhonveli for such an amazing experience! My wife and I had a great time! We would like to thank our server Lassan by the Water Suite Restaurant for his warmth and hospitality. We would also like to thank Katte and Koka from the Dive and Sail. They were super experienced during our Jet Ski tour. My wife had never snorkeled in her life and Koka was very professional and experienced in showing her a great underwater experience. Katte was amazing as a guide and we got to see Dolphins during our tour which was mind blowing! Our Water Suite was a mesmerizing experience. The room was clean and comfortable. Thank you again to the staff to Cinnamon Dhonveli Resort for an unforgettable trip! Truly to be remembered for years to come!

From beginning to end, the property makes sure they give you 5 star service! They had a boat waiting for us and a man that took our bags all the way inside the airport when we was leaving. Lyn was an amazing hostess.The food was incredible. The chef really took his time to customize how we liked our food, like our pastas. Also it was all you can eat buffet style, if you get the All inclusive package, which I highly recommend. The bartenders all make fantastic drinks and keep the vibe going. The dinning staff like Sonia and Ibrahim made sure all your needs were met. The pool attendant made cute flower gifts for me at the pool everyday. Also the cleaning man did a beautiful honeymoon display on our bed. The staff is what makes the resort unique. They genuinely want you to have a good time. The water bungalow suite was amazing. The suite was by the reef so you can see tons of fishes, sharks and sting rays. The room had a spa tub and shower to die for. Overall just an amazing resort!
Bianca, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

I’ve traveled to several different countries as a solo traveler, and I had higher expectations for Maldives. The service was decent. Some of the excursions were a little overpriced. There was a dirty mop smell near entrance where the mini bar was located. I thought housekeeping would have done something about the smell considering it was very strong. The chef at Tex Mex during the morning shift makes great food according to the menu. When I went back in the evening on my last day to purchase the same meal, the Nachos were completely different from what I had in the morning and it was difficult for me to finish the food (didn’t want to waste it). I did inform two staff members at the restaurant and the waiter asked if I wanted another one and I told her it would still come out the same because of the chef who’s cooking the meal. So all in all I paid for a meal I didn’t enjoy. This was the case for the items in the mini freezer, when I arrived I was told that the drinks in the freezer were complementary. When I went to grab a drink that turned out to be alcohol, I took a sip and it wasn’t good so I disposed the rest of the drink and I told the housekeeper this and I was still charged. In that same freezer I found something that appeared to look like mold on two of the alcohol bottles, and that could have contributed to the dirty mop smell I smelled around that area. I wasn’t aware that I was suppose to get VIP amenities during my stay, it sure didn’t feel like a VIP stay.
