A Stunning Island with Room for Improvement – Honest Review of Kandima Maldives We recently stayed at Kandima Maldives and, while the island itself is absolutely stunning and the surroundings nothing short of paradise, there were unfortunately several aspects of our stay that left us feeling disappointed – especially considering the amount we spent. Let’s start with the positives: The setting is truly breathtaking – turquoise waters, white sands, and beautifully maintained grounds. Our accommodation was comfortable and well-designed, and the staff were generally friendly and professional. The food was delicious, with a good variety across restaurants, and the resort offered a good mix of activities and relaxation. However, as beautiful as the island is, there are definitely areas where Kandima falls short – especially when it comes to value for money and customer experience. Firstly, everything is priced without tax and service charges. You’ll be quoted a price, but then a 10% tax and a non-negotiable 16% service charge are added on top – which means you’re paying an additional 26% on everything. This significantly inflates costs. We were on a bed and breakfast package and in hindsight, we really should have opted for all-inclusive. Prices on the island are extortionate – $9 for a Coke, $9++ for a beer, and simple lunches or dinners quickly rack up. We ended up spending close to $3,000 just on food and drinks over the course of our stay. When we enquired about switching

🌴 A Perfect Family Getaway at Kandima Maldives! 🌊 Our stay at Kandima Maldives was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, the resort's vibrant energy, stunning natural beauty, and warm hospitality made it feel like paradise. We traveled as a family, and had an unforgettable time. The accommodation was spotless, spacious, and beautifully designed, with gorgeous ocean views and direct beach access. Waking up to the sound of waves was pure bliss! The dining experience was exceptional—so many choices, and every meal felt like a feast. The staff were incredibly friendly and made sure even our picky eaters were happy. We left with full hearts, countless photos, and memories we’ll cherish forever. If you’re planning a family holiday that combines fun, luxury, and tropical beauty—Kandima is the place to be!

Definitely do not recommend the service was terrible the staff was rude and terrible. Way way over priced biggest scam. They don’t communicate at all with each other for anything meaning we payed all exclusive for a bungalow on the water, they charged us for everything and anything the food made me sick for 2 days. The only thing that was good was the fruit! That’s it! What we payed for was suppose to everything included Then when we showed our email explaining why are we paying so much more money when you didn’t say anything about nothing included on your website they said things were our fault that we didn’t get an email, instead of taking responsibility how poor the staff and service was. Our last day They also made us check out in the morning came to our room unannounced when me and my fiancé were still sleeping so we had a rush to get everything out because they messed up our flight info going back to the airport again also said was our fault and lied saying they don’t talk with the airport when they do check out was not until noon. Very disappointed we will NEVER BE COMING BACK! They definitely did not like Americans we were being followed around and nobody else was. Very uncomfortable frustrated experience this was not a cheap vacation instead of enjoying we were stressed out. Not right did nothing to make things right. Please don’t waste your time and money coming here.

First off, the beach is rocky in most areas and if you do decide to get in the water you will most likely get stung. Another main issue I had was the bugs. Now I seen they do spray most of the area with something to keep them away but I had my whole body covered in stings by the end of my trip. Another thing is I came here for my honeymoon and they didn't take that into consideration at all. Even though we discussed it and they told me about how I have the honeymoon package. DO NOT GO FOR YOUR HONEYMOON. Next is the food, terrible. Everytime you try to book somewhere they make it such a difficult process to book at the restaurants. I've been to multiple different countries but this one was the most disappointing of all and I think it was because of this resort I chose. The entertainment at night is pretty boring. And you only have a couple things to eat. The breakfast buffet was good. Right when we arrived they made us waste almost 6 hours in the lobby. They didn't even take us into consideration and kept ignoring us. I didn't pay thousands of dollars to get treated this way. Terrible experience, DO NOT recommend at all. If you are thinking of coming here, don't. Also be ready to spend another 2k just on food. The restaurants are usually a very long walk away and the transportation takes so long to get there. We waited in the airport for so long. Also the boat to get there is a very risky ride. Water getting all over your things. The pool closes very very early as well.
