From beginning to end, we were completely happy, and every wish, whether spoken or unspoken, was fulfilled. This is our second time here, and we're even sadder to be leaving than we were the first time. We love Kandima, and we especially want to highlight Jalil's tireless service. Even in the sweltering heat, she always had a smile for everyone and was always willing to go the extra mile. Thanks again to Jalil and, of course, to the entire Kandima team. We hope to see you again soon!

6/10 Good

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.

A large size resort for family

A large size resort with various of activities, from diving to parasailing, even kart racing. There a many reefs, in good conditional, for snorkeling. Sharks and stingray could be easily observed from beaches and villas. The buffet breakfast and lunch are in average standard, while the a la carte restaurants are better than expected. However, the shuttle service has to be improved, especially on early morning and late night.

I think that Kandima Resort is a perfect destination for a week holiday. We experienced how really the Maldivians live and how much they are connect with forrest and sea. Our Sky studio was simply awesome, it was surrounded by nature and next to the beach. The resturants were amazing, food was so delicious. Staff very kind and very warm
