Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts - accommodation in Bandos Island

This was a wonderful hotel that includes both transfers to/from the airport and an all inclusive package. The arrival and departure was well managed with luggage delivered to your room and collected upon leaving. The food was excellent. I was skeptical being all inclusive that quality would diminish, but I was pleasantly surprised. They also cater very well to allergens with all food well labeled. One member of my party was gluten free and had a very wide selection. Drinks were also very good! We had a water villa and while it was nice/a novelty, I felt it was a little dated despite the hotel being so new. We walked past the beach villas and they seemed to offer so much more space with the beach patio area. My only negative was that the airport transfer was arranged very early with no option to delay. I arrived to Male airport 3.5 hours before my flight which I felt was far too early given the size and condition of the airport.

Overall excellent stay. The villa was roomy, clean, and had direct ocean access. Staff was reliable and attentive. Always activities to do so your day is guided and not copy and paste from day to day.

This property is very clean and the staff is very professional. Will stay here next time.
