From the moment we found the Cinnamon representatives at Malé airport to take us to our seaplane, we didn't have to think for ourselves for the remainder of one of the most relaxing weeks ever.

The staff at the resort were incredibly welcoming and friendly throughout our stay.

The buffet food was varied and plentiful; every meal also had at least one station with a chef to make you, depending on the mealtime, custom eggs, pasta dishes, stirfys, plus a special station that would change daily, from burgers to pizza to tacos, curries, fresh catches, bbq'd meats, etc.

We enjoyed the adults only aspect and appreciated the peaceful atmosphere all over the resort. Even the architecture was calming; the overwater villas with their white sail rooves and the sweeping pathways across the reef all felt so natural with the white sand and palms and added a tremendous feeling of peace. The other resorts we saw from the seaplane just didn't look quite as good!

Our overwater villa was just as fantastic as the pictures advertising it. We spent several hours on our private deck, lazing in the floor hammock, tanning on the loungers or just sitting on the edge, watching the marine life in the shallows from above.

On one of the days, we went on one of the free excursions to go snorkelling in deeper waters; special thanks and admiration to the captain of the boat, who dove to the bottom of the reef to retrieve a snorkel mask one of us had dropped. Must have been at least 6 meters. A true hero.

Rip-off Hotels.com

I'm going to give all Hotels.com properties minimum scores now, simply because of the appalling changes to the one-key benefits. Everyone else should do the same. Once the review scores start dropping and the hotels look less appealing then people will start booking through other sites then Hotels.com will have to review their system.

Pre-one-key, I stayed one night in a hotel in Manchester, payed £200+ and earned £20. Now with one-key, I spent £1400 at this hotel in the Maldives and got £25 in rewards. Do the maths

Beautiful property! The resort was easy to communicate with regarding the seaplane and the whole transfer was easy and smooth. As soon as we landed we were in awe of the resort! We were greeted with drums, handmade necklaces and refreshing juice. The food was delicious, we had the all inclusive package. We were pleasantly surprised, during breakfast there is an egg and waffle/crepe/pancake station. During lunch one day there was a delicious pasta station. There is a variety of food options as well as local cuisine. Overall the chefs are amazing! The beach, pool, staff, grounds and rooms are beautiful! We stayed in an overwater bungalow and the only thing I will say is that the waves at night were a little loud for me, if this is a concern for you maybe opt of a beach bungalow. However, my husband loved the sounds of the waves at night. The ocean water changes shades of blue throughout the day, it was wonderful to witness. Amazing experience, this is a vacation we will never forget!!!

This property is amazing! The overwater villas are huge, exceptionally clean (I am very fussy and hard to please when it comes to this) and the staff are just wonderful. We got to see sharks, sting rays and puffer fish swim right underneath in/around our villa. Improvements wise, I think they’re missing a trick by not putting on yoga classes etc. and the gym definitely needs some fans on top of the aircon as it was stifling at times. They also don’t cater well for people with allergies, i.e. don’t have alternative milks or yoghurts and I have a dairy allergy which they were aware of prior to arrival. Other than that we loved it!

Wow I don't even know where to begin. Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa made our honeymoon the most incredible and unforgettable experience. I would recommend them to EVERYONE! From the moment we landed in Male we were taken care of. The lady at the airport hotel desk took our bags and led us to the seaplane deak and got us all taken care of. From there we waited in a comfortable lounge until our plane was ready. When we landed at the resort they had drummers, a welcome sign, little necklaces/leis, and fresh watermelon juice waiting for us. All of this just for us! They greeted us by name and gave us a tour of the resort as they brought our bags to our room! There were cute little decorations/sayings written out on our bed with leaves and flowers. It was the most incredible welcome after the long travel it took to get there. The lady at the front desk (I wish I remembered her name) was so kind and periodically checked in on us throughout our trip, always referring to us by our names which made us feel so special and at home! The food and drinks were incredible and Salman was the greatest, most attentive server! He was our friend by the time we left and we still keep in touch with him! Ravindu and Eranga were the best bartenders, we would tell them to surprise us and they would make some incredible colorful cocktails. They always remembered my mango allergy and made sure they kept me safe! They were always so willing to help and never let our drinks go empty without offering another. The

Where can I even begin?
The location, the staff, the food, the service, the weather, the scenery. Immaculate. All of it.
We spent 16 days at this resort; it was a blessing in disguise ;)

We were welcomed off the seaplane with drums, singing, and some fresh fruit juice. Hazel then gave us a quick tour of the island and dropped us off at our Over Water Bungalow. Absolutely stunning. The water is crystal clear. Sure to see cow tail rays, black tip sharks, eagle rays, and a wide variety of fish.

The food is awesome.
It is buffet style, though all guests are required to wear masks and gloves when plating food.

The staff and service are amazing. We were blown away.
We hit a snag in our trip a few days in- I’ll spare the details. But the staff was still amazing throughout our predicament. They did everything they could to make our stay with them perfect.

I got a little teary eyed on the sea plane as we left. This place is magical. Time stands still here.

What a relaxing way to holiday in Paradise!
We received best and warmest welcome. Fantastic rooms, had water bungalow 319 which was allocated as we requested. The room with glass floor and direct access to the lagoon had amazing views and was impeccably clean, (cleaned twice a day), with all amenities.

The island is just a little heaven with spectacular views from dusk till dawn. The friendly staff do their utmost to make sure they make your stay perfect, especially our courteous waiter Saif, and Aruna at the bar, always happy to meet our requests.

The food another excellent experience with a variety of dishes everyday particularly the salad bar with special little salads (verines) and shots prepared by Chamalka. The dessert room was another indulging event with mouth watering cakes and exotic fruit.

The water-sports team help us to fulfill our needs. We had the guided water jet-ski trip Double Paradise which took us to the blissful uninhabited adjacent islands away from all.

Spa staff were also extremely great, would recommend their massages, especially their signature Mandara Massage with 2 syncronised therapists at the same time...what a treat!

The only aspects of this resort that need work are the food and what they consider to be all inclusive. The buffets were not catered to an international crowd. We paid an extra $80 per person to have an unlimited lobster and seafood dinner only to wait 20 minutes to eat one lobster and not have it available anymore. The drinks were not all inclusive at all. I asked for a mojito for lunch and they told me that it was not part of my package. Any drinks I ordered at the only restaurant open for all meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner, and I was told that it was not part of my package. I ordered a cappuccino and it was not part of my package. They told me that my package included some drinks but I would have to go to the bar. They could not go there for me. It was next door. At the bar they had a list of about 10 drinks that were included in my all inclusive package. Mojito was not one of them. But if I ordered rum, simple syrup, sprite and mint, they would make it for me. Only one restaurant to serve all guests for all meals and not have drinks available was less than ideal. The beach, rooms and staff were super friendly and attentive.

This property is brand new after closing for almost 2 years and doing a massive renovation. Everything is new and beautiful! We already can’t wait to go back. Stayed over water bungalow and it was exactly as advertised with the digital images down to the pillow colors. We were not disappointed at all. We did all inclusive, included 3 meals at the buffet. The meals are within a 2 hour period( for example breakfast is 730-930) which made eating before morning scuba just a little rushed but nothing we couldn’t handle. Meals delicious, desserts so fancy and nice and light. I have a few dietary restrictions and they did great accommodating for me. They do offer a snack between lunch and dinner at the bar but we never made it to check it out. They have a dive shop and water activities on the island! One of the reason I chose this location. Dive and Sail Maldives was fantastic! Giulia and Magic are great to dive with! Giulia has been diving since she was a teenager and was really informative and support for newbies like us. Magic is a local and was great at explaining the dice sites. We really enjoyed diving the beautiful waters around the atoll. Water is all bottled and I appreciated them not being stingy with it. Rooms cleaned in the Am with new bath towels and in the PM turn down service with beach towels refreshed. Customer service was exceptional through out our stay. Again we can’t wait to stay again!

Excellent Resort!!

Cinnamon Dhonveli is quite literally a paradise. We are only back from 10 nights there for our honeymoon and really did not want to leave. They provided a complimentary bottle of wine and a fruit basket on arrival which was a lovely touch and really set the tone. The resort is always very clean and service is at the forefront of every thing they do there. Special mentions to Lasaan in Maakana restaurant, a smiling face who always provided excellent service and had our drinks ready for us every day on arrival. To Didar for organising a lovely romantic dinner on the beach, to Rahuman for keeping our room in immaculate condition and to all the chefs, in particular Raku for the amazing food they put on every day. I could not recommend this resort enough. Truly memorable

Beware

Upon check in, I was given paperwork to sign with our room number on it. Halfway through signing, I told the room I booked (an overwater bungalow I reserved months in advance) was not available. The staff tried to pull a bait and switch in which I would stay in a garden room with a free activity. After rightfully discussing my disappointment, somehow the room I was originally supposed to be in (as it was written on my check in paperwork) was available. Terrible first impression that soured my whole stay.

Service and quality reflected on the price. It's not an expensive hotel as compared with others in Maldives. There is no pool. Most likely, as they are planned to close for renovation, thus, the room is not keep very clean with ants and bugs everywhere.

The view is good. The service arrangement is a bit tricky. They will suddenly change your flight schedule without notification. Luckily, we checked, otherwise, it will be in a mass for our last day.

Island Getaway

My wife and I travelled there for our honeymoon for 7 nights. It was excellent, quiet and very secluded from other resorts or even air and boat traffic. Despite this the staff do an excellent job and the food is delicious. There are options for everyone at the buffet or if you want you can dine in some of their on site speciality restaurants which we did for one night. We had the lobster dinner with jumbo shrimp and it was amazing! The snorkeling off of the rooms was great despite all of the dead coral. There are plenty of different fish to see including sting rays and some Black Tip Reef Sharks. We also did some scuba diving lessons and another dive and that was fun to see some additional fish that are not present in the shallow reef.
All in all, highly recommended!!!

Lovely Relaxing Resort ...... in Paradise

What a place. Phenomenal!! We've travelled the world a fair bit over the years but have never been anywhere that is not only so relaxing but it is truly beautiful.

Whilst there we were looked after by very humble but exceedingly friendly staff who were so attentive but never intrusive. Our accommodation in a water bungalow was spacious, very comfortable and so clean. We had 2 visits a day from the lad from housekeeping who was very efficient and friendly but never interfered with our plans. He would always work around our timeframe.

The food was varied, very tasty with a buffet style offering of numerous options including both international and local cuisine as well as selected freshly cooked offerings. This variety of options was available for all meals served in the main restaurant. We also were treated to a special evening meal on the beach which, as the saying goes, was \"to die for\". Rumesh our waiter on that night, and on other occasions when we visited the other (Crab) restaurant was extremely friendly and attentive.

We went on a successful dolphin watching trip and also went on an island hopping trip which was both very interesting and not too \"touristy\".

This is a place we'd love to visit again.... the sooner the better!!

Water villa view is the only thing worth it here

We felt slighted by reviews. Here’s what no one tells you: water villas have best views BUT TOO CLOSE to each other (beware of loud couples - bring a speaker but can’t guarantee sounds will be blocked). Water shoes required since there’s only a small sand part on the beach - the rest is small, rough coral bits. All inclusive has no value: drinks are watered down; must pay for better drinks from room service. All inclusive doesn’t deliver room service; room service = $$. Int’l restaurant is a joke - more of a Maldivian take on foods from other nations (ie Indian spices where you don’t expect it like Tiramisu or “Hawaiian” rice). You can’t take food back to your room from all inclusive. The restaurant also assigns seats/tables based on room # so can’t choose to sit near beach if wanted. Our dedicated water tried to upsell a dining experience without knowledge of best times based on weather & failed to show up to assist with dinner as promised. Communication is a prob - no one told housekeeping of my wife’s bday tho I was promised the room would be decorated for it. Crows are a prob - can’t enjoy food outside at the bar. Pathways to water villas aren’t well lit - beware walks back late at night. Only store on island is a RIP-OFF & capitalizes on forgetfulness: essentials are overpriced (ie small sunblock for $25 USD). You might get charged for WiFi. 3 int’l plugs but you have to search for them. “DJ” is just a guy who has a playlist, doesn’t mix & music doesn’t fit crowd.

Great location due for renovations

We were not greeted upon arrival at the airport and had some trouble finding our hotel representative. When we did we were just told to check in w our next airplane
Flight to hotel was amazing, when we arrived at the hotel there was an introduction to everything that wasn’t included in our inclusive stay
Then we were told were the room was gave us some direction and left us be
We missed out on some important facts that would have been handy to know before hand
1: don’t get locked out of your room by twice locking the door
2: there is a huge short cut to the front desk and not the usual 15 min walk
We were told that there is a well needed renovation coming up in April by almost all the staff
Location of the hotel is amazing and look forward to the renovations
Only snorkeling you can do is behind the over the water bungalows and then only when the tide is high
They do have a boat trip at 930 and 330
If you want anything extra like massage, coronas, seafood, excursions, bike rental expect to pay a lot more

Loved the resort layout! Highly recommend staying in over the water bungalows with easy access to the knee deep water levels - can do swimming and snorkeling as the water is very calm.

Food and service was excellent. The restaurant staff (including the chef) were accommodating to our dietary needs, specifically vegetarian options.

Able to see lots of fishes near and beneath the bungalows - Sting Rays, Baby Sharks, variety of fishes swimming in a group.

Best part was walking down the 1/2 mile pier (good exercise) with excellent views of water colors etc. Overall, I would highly recommend this Al-Inclusive resort.

Pleasant stay at Water bungalow

We stayed at Cinnamon Hakuraa resort to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. We stayed in a water bungalow. It offers stunning view of the Indian ocean. Staff was really welcoming and took well care of everything assuring us a comfortable stay. Excellent hospitality. Right from our arrival we experienced great customer service. We did almost all the activities resort has to offer like snorkelling, scuba diving, private dinner, island hopping and we're satisfied with each. Sipping cocktails at the bar area during night overseeing the ocean with DJ playing lovely music was the most pleasant thing we did. Overall our stay was very comfortable, peaceful, romantic and little bit of adventurous. We highly recommend Cinnamon Hakurra- you won't be disappointed.

Managing Cultural Changes

This was our second visit to this resort but unfortunately it didn't compare to the first. My wife and I observed a number of changes since the first visit such as the type of clientele, the frequency of arrivals & departures bringing destruction to the ambience caused by the frequent sea plane activity and most annoyingly the lack of respect by other holiday makers with the use of speaker phones, face time & bleeping key pads. Although it could be argued that the bar and restaurant are public areas my wife and I and previous clientele didn't seek a resort for tranquility and solitude only to be disturbed by those who behave like they may have in Ibiza or Marbella.
Although we were intending to return in 2 years for our 20th wedding anniversary we are now considering alternative places promising tranquility.

The cinnamon hotel is perfect for couples/honeymooners who look for a relaxing and calm destination to stay. 50 min away from the capital by sea plane the small island holds only the resort and nothing else. The sea and beach is just perfect and snorkeling/diving lovers would love this place. We booked a night snorkeling with the monitors who were really professional and reassuring and the experience was really amazing. The room was up to the level and clean and the view on the sea was just perfect. The food was as expected for a resort and the staffs were very nice. The activities proposed were interesting but a bit expensive for some. Maldivians people were very nice and welcoming. I fell in love with the glass floor of our water villa 😍

Wouldn't go back to Cinnamon

The landscape and water bungalows are 5-star beautiful, but there were a few misses that left us feeling disappointed and not very special. We shared our thoughts with another couple who had regularly visited the Maldives, and were celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary and they felt the same. Maldives are great, but we would choose another resort.

We thought we were truly getting an all-inclusive resort, but espresso isn't even part of the all-inclusive menu, nor are margaritas or sparkling wine. Everything seemed to be extra and inflated to ridiculous amounts. The alcohol in your mini fridge is extra. The food was great, and we are vegetarians, plenty of curries to hold us over, but the snack bar was only waffles or cake so we found ourselves very hungry by dinner. Overall the water bungalows made the trip soooo wonderful, so we would try the Maldives again at a different resort. We would look for one with a higher tide for swimming as well or a pool as it was only half a meter deep at high tide.

Good but not a 4-star hotel.

The pictures are misleading! This resort is ok with wonderful, peaceful beach and great buffet with wide variety - and that's it! And because all the other resorts in Maldives have the same, this doesn't become an advantage to book this resort. I was told by the staff that they are closing in May for 1.5 years to renovate - that's good because the resort truly needs a revamp to compete with the others. I feel like the resort was planned to be great, but not done with attention to details. The photos give an impression of chic luxury, but the rooms & resort facilities are plain, not well-maintained and not TRULY cleaned. Their all-inclusive package is not entirely all-inclusive, and we were very disappointed that a lot are NOT included (e.g. regular coffee ok, but not hot chocolate nor cappuccino; even fruit juices are not included!). Staff work like they have not been paid for a month, always hinting for tips, and seldom smiled. Only the receptionist Jacky was friendly. Room furnishings are worn out, especially the wooden floor of our water bungalow. When I opened the sanitary bag in our bathroom, it had nail clippings - super gross!!! The closet shelves have dilapidated covers and the walls are chipping off. I've had better snorkeling experience else where. Overall, it is an ok resort but for their price (I'm relieved I got it at 65% discounted promo), I would recommend to check others in Maldives.

Great place and value for money

Overall, very happy with our 5 night stay. I would be reiterating most of the other comments here but the staff were really good and accommodating. We requested to move rooms from our allocated overwater bungalow due to the noise of the generator as one of us is a light sleeper. They arranged for us to move without fuss to a much quieter room.

The food was very good, lots of fresh fruit and decent cereal in the morning. The buffet had a great range of food which I was told by the head chef is on a 10 day rotation. There was plenty to choose from with the all inclusive drinks list that included about 15 cocktails and Lion beer which is a Sri Lankan lager that is not great if you are a beer snob but ok otherwise.

We took advantage of the free snorkeling each day. The coral is not in the best of shape but there is a reasonable amount of marine life including turtles, reef sharks, lion fish, lobster and a great variety of fish. The sunset fishing was ok as was the spa. There was never any problem getting a sunchair or bean bag around the small island. The gym is quite small but had two ok running machines, an elliptical machine and an exercise bike. There was an average set of free dumbell weights and some other machine.

The weather while were there was fantastic. Again, excellent value for money.

Perfect Hotel for Exquisite Destination

Cinnamon Hakaa Hakuraa takes excellent advantage of its location on an island all its own by offering visitors the possibility of accommodations in bungalows right at the water's edge. Occupants can simply descend some steps into the water and float amongst scores of fish and you can see the sun rise right from your porch. The restaurant offers a wide variety of options along with wine and other drinks. It was by far the best buffet of food I've ever had at many all-inclusive resorts. We enjoyed our days lounging on the beach or relaxing at the bar but also found time to go kayaking and snorkeling. All in all it made for one of the best family adventures of our lives and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone similarly looking for a spectacularly beautiful to place to spend some time with loved ones.

Amazing resort, A+++ Would definitely return!

Overall the holiday was an amazing experience. The staff were extremely friendly & more than accommodating with any requests. The serenity/atmosphere was perfect. We stayed in an overwater bungalow & we weren’t disappointed. The room was very spacious, extremely comfortable, immaculate & was cleaned twice a day. We had the premium all-inclusive package & would highly recommend. The 3x daily all you can eat buffets were more than satisfying & we were blown away by the omelette, pancake/waffle, salad, pasta & pizza stations available whereby the chef would make what you requested in front of you. As we had only dreamed, the views throughout the resort were breathtaking. Between the 360 degree crystal clear waters & movie like sunsets, we were constantly pinching ourselves. The ability to snorkel around the entire island was amazing as was the ability to get up & personal with countless types of native fish, reef sharks & stingrays. The only disappointment was the lack of alive coral. Despite this there is not much else we could fault. Occasionally we had to ask the staff to restock the beer in the mini bar as they had forgot the day before, otherwise it was almost faultless.
The bar was breathtaking as were the elaborate range of cocktails and other alcoholic beverages. The only thing I would suggest is giving guests the opportunity to take their drinks around the resort & to their rooms; rather than just confining them to the bar or using the minibar/room service. Thank you.

Paradise on earth!

We stayed in a water villa which was the best choice we could have made. The room was spacious and the view was simply stunning. We loved the window on the floor to admire the fish! The water was perfectly clear and a great temperature. The staff and facilities were fantastic. Our dive with the dive team was wonderful...they run a very professional business! The food had great variety and we particularly liked all the on-the-spot made food like the salads, omelets, and the fried rice and pasta! Altogether an amazing stay!

Set on a beautiful island & an ideal place to switch off. Resort needs a bit of an update but good for its price range. Beach bungalow are cosy but the bed was uncomfortable & the noise when it rained was so loud. Food was good I’m a vegan so struggled a bit but the chefs helped when asked. Our waiter service could have been better as he was not very attentive. The spa was amazing as was the free snorkelling.

Nothing less than Amazing!

Staff and service was amazing! Very accommodating. The all inclusive option gave a wide variety of food selections at any given time. I found the rental for the water sports equipment was pricey but I guess in the middle of the Maldives, there would be a cost for anything motorized. My days consisted of walking out of our water bungalow, breakfast, massage (the best) and back to the beach. Having lunch at the Crab restaurant was also amazing. Snorkeling rental is free so I learned how to snorkel while in the Maldives! Truly enjoyed watching the sunrise and sunset from the same island. Heavenly!

Paradise on Earth

From the outset after booking, the Front office manager kept us informed of the transfers from Male airport etc. The Seaplane transfers were super efficient and we were on our way to the resort within an hour of landing. Even though the Seaplane couldn't take one of our suitcases on board, they offered us bags to take out some essentials and then drop the suitcase on the next run. It was even more surprising to see the suitcase being delivered to the resort before we had time to change and have lunch etc. The welcome at the resort was superb and the water villa we stayed in was beyond our expectation but almost exactly as in the pictures on various brochures/websites etc. The breakfast/lunch/dinner was so well catered we always had trouble deciding when to stop. The bar with the unlimited cocktails/wines/beers etc and some snacks twice a day was great. Snorkelling, even for beginners, behind the water villas in the lagoon at low tide was phenomenal. The beach areas were very quiet and provided coves where one could laze around all day if you wanted to. The fact that this resort was relatively further away from Male made it all the more exclusive with only seaplanes and Dhonis being the modes of transport in/out of the island. The staff at the hotel made us always feel special and catered for our every need.

A perfect getaway

This is a place to go if you want \" to get away from everything and just to have the time for only yourself\". You have the whole island or yourself, white sands, clear and calm waters and awesome, breathtaking views! The very moment you step out of your amphibian plane that takes you to this island paradise, you know you are in for a treat! walking in this long over the water boardwalk makes you feel like you want to dive in the water and just join the school of fishes swimming. The over-the -water bungalow is great! You can just open your back deck and you're in the water, but you will need water shoes because the corals are sharp. The property so clean and there's a lot of amenities spread around for you to be private and rest including lounging /reclining chairs and tables in every nook. There's a variety of food to choose from at every meal. And you feel safe touring around the place be it night or day. The staff are very friendly and are willing to assist you in everyday. The construction of this place Is well-thought of, meant for people who truly enjoy nature and a quiet place to recharge one's energy and let the world pass you by! This place is simply AWESOME!

Travel Pro Junior ♡s this place

I am a travel agent, and my 8 year old daughter \"Travel Pro Junior\" is a travel vlogger. Visiting the Maldives and staying in an overwater bungalow was at the top of our bucket list. We chose to stay at the Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa Msldives Resort, and it was definitely the right choice! We woke up and went to sleep to the sounds of waves crashing right outside the deck of our room. We were able to snorkel and canoe without leaving the resort (they offer a wide variety of other activities as well).

The staff was AMAZING! Every staff member that we interacted with was friendly and helpful. They even pavked us a box lunch to take with us to the airport. Our breath-taking room was cleaned twice each day.

This place will not disappoint you!

Absolute Paradise!!!

The Cinnamon Hakura Hurraa was by far the best hotel experience I have ever had in my life. I wish I had stayed longer than a week!

From the moment you exit the sea plane you are transferred into opulence and service with a cold towel and cocktail.

The hotel Registration are prompt and have your bags delivered to your door.

I stayed in the Water Bungalow and it was a dream! The view is amazing, everywhere you look you are surrounded by crystal clear water.

The room was simple yet cozy inside with all the accommodations such as bar, safe, robe and TV in different languages.

But the balcony view is amazing you can view near by islands and The Tide gets low so you can walk across the water as fish surround you

I went snorkeling a few times and viewed many colorful calm fish in the clearest water.

The food is delicious. There are so many choices you can't sample them all. The food is fresh and the presentation and cooks are wonderful

My waiter had my table prepared with drinks before I would return with my plates.

Same as the bartenders they were attentive and would remember your drink of choice.

All the while whether at the Bar, The Restaurant, or your Room you are on a private island of paradise where every is enamoured, happy and peaceful on this beautiful issolated island in remote Maldives. You can't ask for anything more.

Great hotel. We got an overwater bungalow and it was completely worth it. With a private deck we never had to leave the room and could just lounge in the sun all day. The food was delicious and had a variety to meet everyone's tastes. There wasn't anything included except food and drinks, being all inclusive this was a little bummer that all activities cost money. Additionally, food was only available during certain meal times. If you were hungry during an off time you were out of luck! We got an amazing deal on this hotel, being off season and booking last minute. I would have expected more if we paid standard rates but for what we paid what we got was incredible and a never forget vacation!

Great stay! Amazing staff!

Our stay was great! The best thing was the staff was super helpful, friendly, and professional, especially the waitstaff and grill chef in the dining room. We got the all-inclusive package that included 3 buffets, 2 snacks, and unlimited beverages every day. It was much more food that we could have ever eaten. The room was large: a separate living space, comfortable king size bed, and nice sized bathroom. We had a beach villa, which was lovely because we laid on the beach in our lounge chairs and swam in the beautiful, clear waters of the Indian Ocean which were only a few steps away. This was definitely a trip worth repeating!

Very Relaxing

Our 3rd stay in the Maldives, each time a different location, and every one has been unique. The Hakuraa Huraa has very attentive staff. The rooms are large and clean, and the food is very good. The all inclusive wine choice is a bit limited with a choice of just one red or one white however both were very pleasant.
Our only complaint was that we thought that sailing and kayaking activities should be part of the all inclusive package, outside of just wind surfing. We felt that the hire costs were a little steep, yet the jet-ski was very reasonable compared to other resorts.

Ideal for honeymoon, surprising biodiversity!

Wonderful experience! the island is beautiful and very well maintained. Rooms, dining areas and paths are kept amazingly clean and we haven't encountered any pests. The staff was friendly and the level of service- above any expectation. Food is also diverse, fresh and reflects great thought, imagination and professionalism.
Entertainment program was also nice and included live music, DJ and a folklore show where guests could join and dance.
Although the island lacks a house reef, the low water surrounding it have an impressive diversity of fish life, including stingrays, mantas, small reef sharks etc.
