Kandima

Arpita at the Forbidden Bar was one of the highlights of our stay at Kandima. She’s so lovely and made us feel welcome from day one. Her cocktails were consistently the best we had on the island—really well made! Her pornstar martinis were exactly the same as at home. We ended up going back most nights. She made a big difference to our trip, and it wouldn’t have been the same without her. Kandima is lucky to have her behind the bar!

Thanks to Sippo for his Héloïse-Luce at the airport

We have just returned from a lovely 9 days at this resort. The island is absolutely beautiful and we met some great people there but unfortunately have too give this only 3 stars. The food quality and choice was not great at all, very very below standard for a 5 star restaurant. The staff were also so so miserable, they all looked very unhappy and very not accomadating at all. There was never service with a smile it seemed maybe tjeh are all over worked, even though the island was at half capacity. We dined in all the restaurants, Sea dragon was our favourite. Smoked was nice but the portions were tiny; my steak was so small I had to send it back. You were never offered drinks, service was SO slow. If they can fix the service and staff this island would be fantastic as it’s truly beautiful and has a lot of potential. There was no real warmth to the people and no farewell. Such a shame but you expect a lot More from a 5 star resort in the Maldives

We visited the candima resort in March 26. was a great time here. food is great, island is also very well situated. its big rnoufht o have to do something for two weeks. we could not even do everything the resort offers. special thanks to Tennis coach Mal. great guy. had a lot of good sessions wih him. i would definitely book again and come back in the next years to come.

We really liked the hotel. It is a very beautiful, spacious, quiet, and peaceful hotel. There are also lots of activities for children. The boy and the girl in the main Playzone welcomed everyone very warmly and with smiling faces.They even played with the children themselves and kept them entertained.In short, everything was excellent.
