Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives

Great property. Amazing staff. Friendly and helpful. Amazing resort. Great food and overwater suite is worth every dollar

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. We had a very nice and relaxing beach holiday where we enjoyed the overwater villa. The hotel staff was always incredible friendly and went over their way to ensure we felt welcomed and comfortable. There are a few things the resort can improve upon: supplies for the bar (they were always out of watermelon and lime / lemon) and restaurant (very limited vegetable selection, even though the salad bar was always available to have an artisan salad to your choosing); breakfast times can be different (we missed breakfast 3 times as it ended at 9.30am); better advertisement / announcements of what the evening entertainments are (there were blackboards around the resort but you had to know to look for them and the only board with detailed information was at the beach bar), the a la carte menu was limited to handful of sandwiches, 3 salads and 3 mains.

Loved the stay! Just hated having to check in our room 3 hours after arrival bc they weren’t ready. Then expected to check out early lol everything else was great.

Great staff

Impeccable service! Malsha was the best host ever and was available from start to finish. I felt like I had a friend with me even though I was a solo traveler.

It’s an average resort and no one at the resort had heard of Expedia which makes me suspect of how they got their VIP status and it shows. The description has been update but ALL INCLUSIVE IS NOT ALL INCLUSIVE. Further to that Expedia agents will describe full board as being all inclusive so be weary of what they advertise. Because of the system they have come up with for eating you have 1 (one) of the 5 restaurants that you can eat at and a clerical error left me not being able eat for the first 24hours that I was there. This was quickly dismissed by staff and them saying “nothing we can do now”. There was good variety with the food but it wasn’t good. Just to give you an idea, the hollandaise sauce on the eggs Benedict is mayonnaise. I got it twice just to make sure that was what was happening. Overall, it’s fine. I live a 4 hour flight away but if I was any further I would have been very upset that I paid as much as I did for what you get. The struggle with the hotel and the yelling from Expedia agents meant that I left early. It wasn’t worth it and I could do it but chose wisely if you’re taking a long flight. Also, there were mostly families there just in case that is something you are considering.

This resort was amazing thanks to the wonderful staff. They were all so friendly and kind. The resort itself was beautiful, clean, and like paradise. We will definitely be going back!

The food is AWFUL!!
