칸디마 몰디브

Good location to experience seaplane and for beautiful view

For English users: I stayed Kandima for 6 days with my wife and 3 years old son. It was my second visit to Maldives. I chose this hotel because I stayed at Anantara Khihavah for my first visit in Maldives as a honeymoon and I wanted to stay at a more reasonable price and family friendly hotel this time. Shortly, it was very satisfactory experience. All the staffs were so kind (especially Midty?, the receptionist at Flavour and Zest, who enjoys watching Netflix as her hobby. Facilities were newly built and well maintained. Pools were spacious. There were numerous events for family guests. I can definitely say it's one of the best hotels in Maldives for travelers with kids (Especially considering price). The only problem was there is no air-conditioning system in restaurants. (I don't understand why it has powerful air-conditioner in restrooms and no air-conditioner in restaurants.) Except that, there is nothing to complaint about. For 한국어 사용자: 가격 대비 무척이나 좋은 호텔입니다. 가족들이 머물기에 훌륭한 시설과 이벤트들을 가지고 있고, 직원들도 아주 친절합니다. 어린 아이와 함께 하는 여행자들에게 자신있게 추천할 수 있습니다.숨기기

We stayed in Room 519 (Beach Villa with Swirl Pool). Unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to our previous visit. The swirl pool was under heavy shade, making the water very cold and unusable — especially in December. There is no heating function, so we never used it. Last year, we stayed in an overwater villa, and the swirl pool was in direct sunlight, making it enjoyable even at night. Food quality was disappointing this time. Breakfast and lunch options were repetitive, and on several occasions the chicken was undercooked and vegetables were not properly prepared. Some dishes also seemed off. The only positive was that desserts changed daily, which was nice. For an all-inclusive resort, the beverage offering was very limited. Many cocktails, mocktails, iced coffees, and even hot chocolate were frequently out of stock at both pools. Entertainment was also limited. Activities like go-karting and jet skis were excluded, despite being marketed as part of the resort experience. Overall, this stay did not match our previous experience or the expectations of a premium all-inclusive resort.

Wir hatten einen erholsamen und entspannten Urlaub. Das Essen in allen Restaurants war super. Das Personal freundlich, zuvorkommende und hilfsbereite. Die Insel ist weitläufig und wunderschön grün. Wir würden auf jeden Fall nochmal kommen!

It’s a scam I strictly do not recommend this place money grabbers they will steal money from you also they make up rules and charge guests more money when you arrive it is also falsely advertised the staff are very rude and pretend to be friendly whilst trying to steal money from you they will refuse you checking in and then try to force you to get money from family member across the other side of the world I do not recommend this place to anyone

The Rooms were great. The buffet was not 5 star with little bespoke cooking as per other resorts ive been to in Maldives. Male staff mostly seem disinterested and slow. Females are great. Smoke, staff and food was great. Entertainment bsnds were average to poor . Philippino duo however were excellent. Management never seem to interact with guests. Seemed aloof . Lovely location but not really 5 star.

Great over water villa. Views. Pool. Resort lovely and lush. All female staff great. Many male staff seem disinterested. Play staff good and diving great. Manager needs to talk to guests. Not sure it is 5 star Resort but was very good

It’s very good We hard very good family holiday Staff are very happy face it’s very good

People should know the full picture before booking Kandima, because the low price can be misleading. To get there, you need a domestic flight arranged by the hotel, costing $450 USD per person. Commercial flights exist, but their schedules don’t match well, and you still have to take a bus and boat afterward. For the return, they almost always book the 6am flight, so expect to be leaving your room at 3am, losing valuable vacation time. The island looks nice, but the service was frustrating. Staff smile, but they also entered our room without warning—even with the Do Not Disturb sign up—and called us multiple times for unimportant reasons. The water is pretty, but the beach is extremely rocky, especially by the Aqua Villas, and the lagoon is so shallow that you can barely get past your knees. There’s only one small market, and the restaurants are very expensive, with everything in USD. Since you have no other dining options, they take advantage of it. We experienced constant attempts to charge extra, from tips already included to ignoring discounts unless we insisted. My honest advice: choose a resort closer to Malé. It might cost more initially, but you’ll avoid the travel hassle and likely have a better stay.

There’s a clear reason why Kandima is cheaper than many other resorts in the Maldives, and future guests should be aware of it. Getting to the island requires a domestic flight arranged by the hotel, which costs $450 USD per person and is the cheapest option available. Commercial flights exist, but the schedules are inconvenient and still require a bus + boat transfer afterward. At checkout, the hotel usually books guests on the 6am flight, meaning you have to leave your room around 3am, losing part of your last day. The island itself is pretty, but the service is disappointing. Staff smile constantly, but they also enter rooms unexpectedly—even with the Do Not Disturb sign on—and call guests for unnecessary reasons. The water is clear, but the beach is extremely rocky, especially near the Aqua Villas, and the water is so shallow (knee-deep) that swimming isn’t really possible. There’s only one market, and the restaurants are very pricey, with everything charged in USD. There are also ongoing attempts to charge extra, from unnecessary tips (already included in the bill) to avoiding pre-applied discounts unless you ask. If you’re considering the Maldives, I strongly suggest choosing a resort closer to Malé. It may cost more upfront, but it will save time, reduce stress, and likely offer a better overall experience.

Lovely island resort, with stunning beach and house reef for snorkelling. Lovely room with great access to the beach. Great food and service. Great trips at aqua Center and cast away dining. Just loved the resort

Heel schoon en aardige mensen, zeker een aanrader!!!!

Really good staff and a beautiful resort

Overall vibe was great. Great service too. Smiles all around. A fantastic getaway with lots of activities to choose from!

Súper atención. Gran lugar, aunque creo podría hacerlo más top si no cobraran por todo. El hecho de ya pagar un resort debería mínimo incluir el agua. Pero en gral es un gran lugar.

So the room was perfect and the views were unmatched! The weakness of the facility is their need to nickel and dime their guests at every corner with non-included things all over the island despite me being all inclusive. The next weakness was the staff apart from one fantastic bartender Rasel which I loved, many of the hospitality staff weren’t very friendly on top of the buffet area the tables were not kept clean and was often hard to find a place to sit. As far as the dining establishments go I felt the food was subpar for a place of its quality with many things not appearing on the menu that were advertised. Finally I was unable to make a single snorkel trip with them always being cancelled due to possible storms even on the best days.

Would have been 5 stars but there was a huge negative for us. We had paid for full board however of the 2 restaurants included one was closed for refurbishment. This meant every lunch and dinner we had to drag our 2 kids (one is 8 months old) to the other end of the island. Can either get a buggy or walk. Depending on how lucky you get with timing this could be 15-20mins on either option. A walk that far with 2 kids prams was unpleasant in the heat too! The staff in Kandiland were good as was Laizan the bus driver (apologies name likely incorrectly spelt!). He was great with our son.

ラグジュアリースイートに3泊しました。上る朝日も沈む夕日も見れる最高の部屋でした。密集してない水上ヴィラは他人を気にせずに海で泳げる大満足のロケーションでした。行き交うボートも水上飛行機の離発着も見れるお部屋でした。海は飛び込める深さでした。亀にも会えました。大きいプールも飛び込める深さで温度も気持ち良かったです。自転車を借りて行き来していたので部屋が遠いと感じませんでした。ラグジュアリースイートおすすめです！l

5泊のうちサンライズプールビーチヴィラに2泊しました。部屋から海までの距離も短くて良い。波消しブロックのおかげて波のない海に入れます。小さいお子さん、赤ちゃんにはとても良い安全な海です。ヤドカリや蟹が多くて砂浜遊びは楽しいです。プールは深くて大きくて温度もちょうど良かったです。椰子の木が木陰を作ってくれるので、灼熱の太陽もプールの半分は木陰になるなど快適です。ビーチヴィラが好きになりました。サンライズが気持ちよかったです。

Byttet ikke sengetøy hele uken selvom det ble forespurt, og dårlig for å tilrettelegge for allergier.
