My wife and I are so happy that we chose Kandima as our destination. Love the hospitality and the warmth you feel when you are there. We felt like we were home. The food was exceptional. There were many different cuisines and suited even vegetarians. Hats off to Chef Janaka and the other chefs who took time from their busy schedules to speak to us and find out if we had any specific food preferences. The staff is very friendly and always helpful. Every need of ours was catered to immediately. Special shout out to Amit, Rishi, Hakeem, Rizan, Milinda and the rest whose names we couldn't catch who were extremely helpful during our stay. The rooms were clean and spacious. Also thanks to Reea for her assistance at the front desk. All in all, we couldn't have asked for a better place to relax and rejuvenate. Kudos to the Kandima Team for all the good work!
United Arab EmiratesAmazing view, even after thunderstorms the water color looks like turquoise gem. Sunset and sunrise on the beach is spectacular. Large variety of buffet food options ranging from Indian to Chinese to continental, my fave is sashimi which is serve on daily basis. Very friendly staff, my special thanks to Shamy who organized our COVID PCR test on short notice and this was done directly in the resort clinic with 3min walk from our water villa. Atmosphere on the pool is great, walking along the beach with lush Palmer trees and ocean breeze: killer! Ample options of water sport: we did snorkeling and kayaking. Can also rent a bike and tour island on your own. Daily program for kids, changed on weekly basis. If you are lucky you get to see dolphin, bat, lizard and manta ray.
GermanyThe room were excellent especially Aqua Villa with Swirl Pool.
