Lori Jo, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

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.

Patricia, 4-night trip

4/10 Poor

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.
Javier Bajer, 8-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We loved our stay. It was a beautiful and relaxing experience with the resort. Glad we chose Cinnamon Donvelli.
Shakil Ahmed, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

Don’t like booking a non-refundable fare and then finding out the only way to get to and from was additional $180 boat fare Needs to be disclosed when booking
Daniel, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
Javier Bajer, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A nice property but especially the people taking care of us. Especially to mention Mira at the reception who provided valuable advice, Ahmed in the restaurant serving us always with a smiling face, Rahuman who kept the rooms tidy with a smile and also Sattar making beautiful flower chains. Thanks to all of you. You made our stay a perfect one.
Hermann, 8-night trip

Absolutely amazing holiday. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was immaculate and had stunning views of the ocean. The food was fantastic, had a great choice and everything seemed fresh. The pasta and noodle station was great! Would recommend to anybody.

Stayed from the 19th for a week. We've had the holiday of our life time. Beautiful place and the most important...wonderful people. Especially at the Maakana restaurant ... Thanks to Ash,Lassaan and the rest of the team Can't wait to go back.
Ruth Mercado, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

If relaxation and simply enjoying the majesty of God is on your menu, this is the place for you. The paid actors are the beauty of the Indian Ocean that you get to marvel in from the overwater bungalows and the incredible staff. They are so sweet and attentive. Everyone. The bartenders made me "my own" cocktail and the ladies at the spa have been blessed with magical hands. Also, the all inclusive package is a really good value!
Mishka-Gaye, 5-night trip

Our goal was to relax and slow down for a few days. Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives was the perfect choice. The staff there is incredible. We would definitely recommend this place and intend to return.

Relaxing stay

Superior ocean view room was modern and more spacious than expected. Managed to see dolphins swimming nearby on some mornings. Staff were very helpful. Resort is overall well maintained. Snorkelling on the beach lagoon was amazing - many variety of fish were seen.
Zubair, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Exactly what I expected. Rooms were awesome and well kept. Great privacy on the balcony. Loved accessibility to the ocean and waking up to waves crashing on the reef. Food was decent with a lot of options. Would go back for sure!!
