Awesome stay at Cinnamon Dhonveli. From the meet and greet at the airport Speed boat service to the island Restaurant food amazing Staff friendly and happy keep everywhere spotless We were fortunate to get a room upgrade on arrival Wow a bungalow over the sea Water around them very rough for any swimming Take swimming shoes if you do and you’d need to be a strong swimmer as the current is strong The resort and the people are beautiful A lot of surfing to watch from the bar too that was awesome Be prepared for expensive water sports and trips All in all a fabulous holiday and there send off was so lovely thank you for a fab 5 nights

Overall nice stay with great snorkeling. We stayed at water villa and ate at the Lagoon restaurant. The food can use improvement in quality and consistency. Service staff was nice. We filled out the survey for food on our 2nd day and the staff really took it seriously and made sure we had good food options rest of our stay. Breakfast was consistently awesome. Lunch and dinner varied in our opinion. I wish our host treated the food allergy we reported seriously as we had kiwi sent to our room as well served on a 10 person excursion without an alternative. The staff was nice to have kind gestures when we shared the food allergy issue. Just not the 5-star personalized experience we expected. We booked on Expedia 7 days before we arrived. The hotel never confirmed our arrival flight. Hope the property better manages communication. Luckily there was another family on the same flight so we didn’t wait for the boat transfer. Just an unnecessary stressful beginning when you do not hear back from the property.
