Feedback about Ellaidhoo Maldives By Cinnamon from previous guests about their experience

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon offers a memorable stay with its fantastic house reef, ideal for snorkeling and diving, where guests commonly spot reef sharks, turtles and a wide array of fish. The resort presents buffet and a la carte dining options, with some guests highlighting the sunset dinner on the boat as a wonderful experience with delicious seafood. The rooms are generally spacious and clean, however, the sea is not always easily accessible from the water villa. Despite this, many find the resort to be a great value for a 4-star Maldives experience.

the overwater bungalows were beautiful. the food was excellent and abundant. the staff were both cheery and accommodating.

i noticed certain drinks are not included in the all inclusive package. i did not like that if you don't tip, you won't be served. there is not much to do on the island and you can walk around it quickly.

An Admirable Experience!

great servicewhite sandearly afternoon

The staff offered great service and were always available. The beach bungalow was perfect. It was close to the water. I loved the soft, white sand.

The transfer organization caused inconvenience. My flight was late at night, but the transfer was scheduled for early afternoon. This left me waiting at the airport for an extended time. It was not ideal.
