Holiday Inn Resort KANDOOMA MALDIVES by IHG, an IHG Hotel

Beautiful

Great!

Great hotel, from the warm welcome to last farewell everything was smooth and highly enjoyable. We loved the fact the whole island is set in lush greenery and i feels very private despite full occupancy. Staff is extremely friendly and helpfull. We stayed on half board basis and there was always something to choose from. I am sure there are better resorts for snorkeling but if you you are patient you find some good marine life as well (we did snorkel on the surf beach behind the reception) which we later discovered we were not supposed to do but it was the best. One thing I’d consider a downside is the restrictions that may feel ovewhelming, like the kids club that only allows playstation for kids only between noon and 2pm, swimming pool opened only till 6pm and the use or only certain beaches for snorkeling.

Ver nice, and beautifull

The food was good and rooms nice and clean (if you got what you expected), however the resort is not what it is being advertised as, this more of a super expencive Hotel and not a reasonable Resort (under staffed, 1 pool not 2, No "waterslide" and so on...) No issues paying for what we get, but not getting what you payed for is so disappointing. Kinda false advertising. I suggest asking for a map prior to booking.

Everything is good. Vegetarian dinner menu is lacking.

It’s all good but only one thing that is we paid a lot for food and taste is not good. Should have a better taste for food.

The place was nice, food was good, but expensive and the staff very helpful and friendly, overall the resort was good. The things i did not like was to surf you need to book through the perfect wave travel which doubles the price of the room. To be fair the team at perfect wave at the resort did a good job and put on nice surf trips. But for value for money stay at the neighoring island, quarter the cost and organize your own surf trips, specially if theres a few of you surfing

Bugs in overwater villas, windows that didn’t properly close. Not enough activities

Staff were really helpful and service was top notch. For budgeting purposes, guests should read the fine print of fees such as transfer fees, applicable taxes, additional guests fees, etc. Overall, we had a blast and will go back.

Excellent food, snorkeling adventures and very spacious rooms for families.

helpful staff. nice property.. we went diving and it was fun. stayed on the beach bungalows and water villas for 5 nights.. thank you to the holiday inn - IHG staff

First time at Maldives and we loved it. The ocean is magical. The staff (exept the sport center) was unique with kindness and care. Only would suggest some refurbishment on any plain wood as the railing or floor ect. . But overall we completely recharged ourself and felt very happy to be there.

Had a wonderful time at this resort. No doubt, memories of our stay would always be cherished. Made possible by the sheer beauty of the island, the amenities and the very responsive, attentive and friendly staff

Excellent stay

Super nice. Everything went perfect. However on the other side some hotel extrusions where expensive compared to other local islands.

Very beautiful and the staff are very friendly

Great place to relax!

highly recommend

Great holiday in Maldives. We were well taken care of by the staff and would like to thank all of them, especially Rateesh (Supervisor), Boopathy and Gothoo who did everything to make our stay a memorable one and enjoyable one. Breakfast - lots of choice even if vegetarian, Asian/European. The snorkeling is amazing and there is a chance to see lots of sea life including stingrays! Overall couldn't ask for better...
