The island is large with nice beaches. The hotel design and room sizes are incredible. I will never hesitate to recommend it to a friend.
Saudi ArabiaEverything is amazing staff, service, place, rooms supper clean, view the whole resort are beautiful
EgyptThe property was quite big compared to other islands. The hotel had a few restaurants, an art cafe, night entertainment, live music, a couple of swimming pools, snorkeling spots nearby. The sport centre was well equipped. They also had a coffee shop with comfortable chairs and snacks. I have an allergy and the chef, Mr Lakashita Janata, went above and beyond expectations and assisted me daily and was happy to prepare separate food for me as I was not able to eat from the buffet. The restaurants food and general experience was superb. Mr Janata made sure I had safe and yummy food for every meal and always helped with a smile. I truly appreciated his understanding of my disability and I am very happy to recommend him. He is a valuable asset to Kandima.
United Arab EmiratesI stayed there for 6 nights, three nights in beach villa with pool & Jacuzzi and three nights in water villa with jacuzzi. Although the resort opened 50% of their facilities (4 restaurants, 1 coffee shop and 1 bar) we never got bored. The rooms are nicely designed and clean, the food in restaurants was up to level with different choices. The resort offers different water activities & sea trips. It suits couples and families. I have chosen all inclusive package, when i saw the bills, it was a good deal. Finally, the staff were amazing, especially Siddeq in front disk, he was 24/24 available and supportive and Amir in flavor restaurant, always smiling and willing to support. I’ll be back again for sure when they are running the resort at full capacity.

QatarKandima is a wonderful place to spend a short vacation. In comparison to other 5-star resorts, I find the room rates very reasonable. There are many activities to do apart from being at the beach. You may visit their website for more details. The staff at Kandima are amazing. They were very helpful and showed great signs of hospitality. Special thanks to: Nora, Moosa, Joy, Mizy, Sid, and Ayesha!
