Loved the house reef, didn’t feel like going anywhere else maybe except taking a trip to see manta rays.

It was amazing, a trip to heaven on earth Everything was beyond excellent Take a note that it's small but excellent resorts, so it a trip to relax , if you search for more crazy activities this is not your resorts.

This is the most wonderful accommodation we've ever stayed at. Enjoyed 6 days of ultimate relaxation. The stunning reef is right at your doorstep - we would wake up at 6 every morning with the ocean calling us to come over and snorkel. All the staff is extremely kind and caring. We would like to especially thank Estela and Sinan for always going the extra mile for us. The food and cocktails are all 10/10! You really cannot go wrong with this place.

We loved our time at Kandolhu and would strongly recommend staying there. Some of the things that stood out were: - Fantastic house reef and good dive sites close by - lots of turtles and sharks in particular - Great staff and management - Food was substantially better than we expected, + lots of variety across the different restaurants. Particularly enjoyed the creative Mediterranean starters and the tandoori lamb chops - Smart room - Generous minibar on all inclusive with lots of bottles of wine to choose from + plenty of beers and snacks

The property is fantastic, clean and the staff is very friendly. It feels boutique, but has facilities of a large hotel (5 restaurants, gym, spa..)

Everything! This place is truly paradise. Everything you could wish for and so much more!

A fantastic resort - very beautiful with great snorkelling, restaurants & bars, rooms and staff. We ate at each of the restaurants and they were all excellent, we were also impressed with the extensive All Inclusive wine list. During our stay (early May 22) the wind was coming from the west and, judging from the beach erosion, this was the dominant wind direction. We had one of the pool villas on the east side of the island and we definitely felt this was the best choice. The main snorkelling area was just outside of our garden, which was much more private than with other types of villas. We were very happy with room 103 and would highly recommend this.

loved the fact it only had 32 rooms yet 5 restaurants! the food was incredible so was the house reef we averaged 3 turtles a day plus reef sharks and amazing reef fish in abundance. loved the fact the hotel lent us a go pro for snorkelling it meant we took some awesome videos of reef sharks and turtles etc.

Nice small cosy island. Best service you could imagine! The staff was very friendly, helpful, read our wishes from our eyes and very humorous - a special thank goes to the Balinese/indonesian kitchen crew. Vegan is not a problem at all - thanks!

Resort was small and intimate. Generally excellent food all round, spectacular fresh fish at dinner, and great tacos for lunch. Wonderful house reef with turtles galore, the best we've seen in the Maldives.
