The entire resort is just wonderful, we ended up upgrading our stay to the overwater bungalow suite the entire time we were there. The staff made our experience even more wonderful. Look for Sattar if you need a professional photographer and he's always happy to guide you and take you to different parts of the island. The F & B team here will take care of you and they offered top notched service.

This is an older resort. Stayed at the overwater villa which was very nice. Gym was ok but dated. Could use an upgrade. Limited vegan options and I did not get the all inclusive package. I did get breakfast included and they did accommodate some requests. Dinner options were limited at the Tex Mex à la carte. Beach is very nice. Spa is small but nice. Overall good.

A wonderful first time in the Maldives. Friendly staff. Beautiful surroundings. A few things to note: snorkelling trips will need you to bring your own snorkels, don’t forget to bring sun cream because the gift shop charges $60+ for a bottle of Nivea spf 30, and the food is good but the meals are the same/similar each day. The gift shop is expensive, as are the snorkel trips and scuba diving. Surfing also chargeable and IMO, extortionately priced

Cinnamon was overall okay and average. The excursions that were offered had a person minimum, so they regularly were cancelled. They had planned events on their itinerary but when the time came, the majority were cancelled without notice. The room was clean and housekeeping was great. Shared bathroom areas were dirty along with outdoor dining areas. The wait/kitchen staff were fantastic and friendly but the reception and customer service staff were hard to deal with. The Maldives did not meet our expectations, but the Cinnamon resort itself was in a beautiful location and offered a relaxing stay.

Location is amazing, but the hotel struggles to deliver in many fronts. Most things required extra effort, often reminding you that they are pushed to upsell instead of driven to give you a relaxing time. I work in the industry and have given proper feedback to the management team. They are under huge pressure to perform financially and, although they see it, their hands are tight as to what they can do to deliver value. We will not be coming back, given the enormous range of better options in the area.

It's ok for a 4-star. We spoke several times with the front desk manager (Shahin), who was outstanding! However, it feels like he cannot make big changes happen as the hotel is underinvested from the top. Shahin saved the experience -- without him we would have given this place a 2 star max. We reached out to senior management and were totally ignored. This actually explains why the place is unlikely to change in the future. GM is too busy thinking revenue, not experience. He won't get much revenue UNLESS he improves customer experiences.

A wonderful first time in the Maldives. Friendly staff. Beautiful surroundings. A few things to note: snorkelling trips will need you to bring your own snorkels, don’t forget to bring sun cream because the gift shop charges $60+ for a bottle of Nivea spf 30, and the food is good but the meals are the same/similar each day. The gift shop is expensive, as are the snorkel trips and scuba diving. Surfing also chargeable and IMO, extortionately priced

For a small island it was not packed with people. The staff was amazing and the food/ rooms were great! Definitely visiting again!

Cinnamon was overall okay and average. The excursions that were offered had a person minimum, so they regularly were cancelled. They had planned events on their itinerary but when the time came, the majority were cancelled without notice. The room was clean and housekeeping was great. Shared bathroom areas were dirty along with outdoor dining areas. The wait/kitchen staff were fantastic and friendly but the reception and customer service staff were hard to deal with. The Maldives did not meet our expectations, but the Cinnamon resort itself was in a beautiful location and offered a relaxing stay.

Location is amazing, but the hotel struggles to deliver in many fronts. Most things required extra effort, often reminding you that they are pushed to upsell instead of driven to give you a relaxing time. I work in the industry and have given proper feedback to the management team. They are under huge pressure to perform financially and, although they see it, their hands are tight as to what they can do to deliver value. We will not be coming back, given the enormous range of better options in the area.

It's ok for a 4-star. We spoke several times with the front desk manager (Shahin), who was outstanding! However, it feels like he cannot make big changes happen as the hotel is underinvested from the top. Shahin saved the experience -- without him we would have given this place a 2 star max. We reached out to senior management and were totally ignored. This actually explains why the place is unlikely to change in the future. GM is too busy thinking revenue, not experience. He won't get much revenue UNLESS he improves customer experiences.
