Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives

We recently had an amazing experience at Cinnamon Dhonveli, and we are already dreaming of our next visit. If I could give this place more stars, I would! From the moment we stepped onto the resort, we were completely captivated by how breathtaking the entire property is. The crystal-clear turquoise waters and beautifully landscaped surroundings truly make it feel like heaven on earth. We were greeted by staff with fresh flannels and juices. We were seated in their gorgeous reception before our suitcases were taken and put in our over-water bungalow. Our room was out of this world. It offered stunning views, modern amenities, and the perfect blend of comfort and luxury. Waking up to the sound of the ocean in such a beautifully designed space and was a highlight of our trip. We also got to see so many beautiful animals from our room including fish, stingrays, and sharks. What made the accommodation even more impressive was the flawless cleanliness and how well-maintained everything is across the entire resort, the island is picturesque. The housekeeping team is top-notch, ensuring every corner is spotless and pristine daily. We were always greeted with a friendly smile. The dining was another major highlight. The food is great, featuring an incredible variety of delicious options that catered to every craving, with fresh flavors and beautiful presentation at every meal.What truly sets this resort apart, however, is its people. The staff are incredibly lovely, always greeting us with warm smiles, anticipating our needs, and delivering exceptional hospitality that made us feel right at home. We would like to make a special mention to Sattar and the dining staff/chefs at the Dolcini restaurant. They went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable and relaxing. We also booked several excursions that were thoroughly enjoyed—each one was exceptionally well-organized, exciting, and gave us the perfect taste of Maldivian adventure.If anyone is booking a trip here, I would thoroughly recommend the dolphin watching. Being able to experience their presence in their natural habitat is an experience I will never forget. Overall, we had a flawless vacation and would love to return to this paradise. Highly recommended to anyone looking for the ultimate Maldivian getaway! 🌴🌊🐚🩵

We stayed at Cinnamon Dhonveli for our honeymoon and loved every moment. The location was stunning, with clear waters and a beautiful beach, and the rooms were spacious and spotless. A special mention goes to Kasun and Nipuni from the front office, whose warm hospitality truly elevated our stay. From the moment we checked in, they went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, always ready with a genuine smile and attentive to even the smallest details. They took the time to check in on us throughout our stay, offering helpful recommendations and making sure any request, big or small, was taken care of promptly. Their thoughtfulness and personal touch made us feel completely at home, even while surrounded by the beauty of the Maldives. Mahesh also deserves a mention for his excellent service and impressive cocktail skills, he made our evenings so much fun. Overall a wonderful stay with fantastic scenery and staff who truly went above and beyond. Highly recommend Cinnamon Dhonveli for a romantic island getaway.

Awesome place to relax and get away from it all. If you book a suite you get access to an exclusive dining room, pool, and pool bar. Food at every meal was varied, delicious, and you could have some items made to order. Flip flops are pretty much all you need on your feet, water shoes helpful when wading due to sharp coral. Didn't see any mosquitos. Staff is extraordinarily friendly. If you want to tip, bring some US dollars.

We had an amazing stay at Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives and would like to thank the wonderful team who made our holiday so special. A special mention to Manoj, Ruth, Latheef, Rayyan, Leem, and Ussham from Reception for their kindness, professionalism, and willingness to help throughout our stay. From the moment we arrived until our departure, everything was smooth and well organized. The speedboat transfers were seamless with no waiting time, making the journey stress-free. The resort itself is beautiful, with stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, excellent food, and comfortable rooms. We were delighted to receive a room upgrade and had the opportunity to experience both the Beach Bungalow with Pool and the Over Water Suite, which made our stay even more memorable. What truly stood out was the way the team helped make our child's birthday special. They surprised us with a beautiful cake and thoughtful service that created wonderful memories for our family. Thank you to everyone at Cinnamon Dhonveli for your warm hospitality and exceptional service. We highly recommend this resort and look forward to visiting again in the future. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We really miss this place , and would honestly love to visit this property again someday.

Jedná se o rezort blízko letiště - ca. 25 minut speedboatem. Dobré jídlo, skvělá masáž, hezké a čisté ubytování. Nádherná laguna na šnorchlování. Bez vln, koupat se dá celý den. Příjezd: čekala jsem 90 minut na letišti na další hosty Když jsem přijela do rezortu, - kolem 9.30 h, řekli mi, že můj pokoj není ještě připraven. Všem ostatním pokoj dali. Unavená po 20 h cestě jsem si nechala kufr v místnosti na kufry. Mohli mi nabídnout aspoň snídani. Úplný nezájem z jejich strany. Když jsem přišla na pláž, abych si po cestě nějak odpočinula, všechna lehátka byla obsazená. Ručníky lidé pokládají na lehátka mezi 6-7 h. Potom už skoro není šance. Zeptala jsem se pracovníka, co přiděluje na pláži ručníky, co mám dělat. Neměla jsem ani pokoj, ani lehátko. Po 20 h cesty, unavená, nevyspaná. Řekl, at si nějaké lehátko najdu. Znovu jsem prošla celou pláž, vše plné. Poté se nade mnou smiloval turista z Německa, a uvolnil mi jedno svoje lehátko. Při odjezdu .... odjezd byl domluven na 10 h (vše klaplo). Už v 9.25 h zabouchal na dveře chatky pracovník z Bangladéše - moc milý - že je čas odjezdu. Já polonahá v ručníku. Řekla jsem, že se potřebuju připravit na cestu. Usušit vlasy, obléknout se. A znovu jsem si vzpomněla, jak pro mě při příjezdu nebylo nic připraveno. Uklízeč čekal před chatkou s vozíkem, já se kolem 9.50 h vydala pěšky na recepci a pak člunem na letiště. Na ostrov už bych se nevrátila. Není tam žádné romantické místo. Vše zastavěné bungalovy, hřiště, restaurace pro normální hosty a pro hosty z vodních vil, dva bazény. Je to moje třetí návštěva Malediv, zatím bohužel nejhorší. Příště si vyberu jiný, přírodnější, méně zastavěný rezort. Možná dál od letiště v Malé
