Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives by IHG

All the facilities

Free excursions are very limited. Can't order from restaurant due to some trouble in the kitchen I think.

I do NOT recommend this resort. This place does not allow you to book trips, excursions, or island transfers with locals. Any activity has to be arranged strictly through them — at prices that are 4–5 times higher than what locals charge. For example: The local ferry from the airport to the resort costs $25, but the resort charges $150 (plus taxes). Even a 5-minute boat trip to the neighboring island costs $150 (plus taxes). When I arranged for a local boat to pick me up so I could visit another island, the staff refused to let me board. The manager told me that if I did, they would immediately check me out of the resort, as this is “their policy.” He also claimed that all resorts in the Maldives have the same policy — which is simply untrue. I checked, and other resorts definitely don’t operate like this. This feels like pure exploitation — tying guests to the resort and squeezing as much money as possible from them. A real shame. Since this is a private island, there are no local shops. If you want to buy anything at all, you must take the resort boat at $150 Other issues: . The food quality is very average. Limited fruit options, breakfast juices watered down about 50/50, and one dinner was truly bad. . The location is spoiled by views of nearby Guraidhoo Island — with two high-rise buildings (one 8 stories high) directly facing the main beach. Many bungalows with sea views also face these buildings views. Construction of a third building is ongoing, and the noise carries to the resort all day long. . The resort destroyed a huge portion of seabed and coral reef around the island to build a protection wall. The wall is literally made from coral and seabed material. A horrendous, unsustainable ecocide. . My apartment was poorly maintained: bathroom ceilings shabby, balcony floor all stained, and the AC in our room was so noisy we couldn’t use it at night, making it uncomfortable to sleep. Despite requesting help, nothing was done. . No lifeguard on duty

Le calme, la propreté, le personnel, la variété des repas aux buffets, la beauté du site, la baignoire sur la terrasse.

Les desserts du buffet à volonté ne sont pas très bon. La plongée, il y avait trop de monde.

Mooi resort, fijne vibe en geweldige duikplekken.

De sfeer was heel fijn. Ook tijdens het eten. Alleen in het weekend werd het erg druk met vnl Chinese bezoekers en dat kwam de sfeer niet ten goede.

Amazing Property!

Nothing! Everything was great
