We stayed in Room 519 (Beach Villa with Swirl Pool). Unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to our previous visit. The swirl pool was under heavy shade, making the water very cold and unusable — especially in December. There is no heating function, so we never used it. Last year, we stayed in an overwater villa, and the swirl pool was in direct sunlight, making it enjoyable even at night. Food quality was disappointing this time. Breakfast and lunch options were repetitive, and on several occasions the chicken was undercooked and vegetables were not properly prepared. Some dishes also seemed off. The only positive was that desserts changed daily, which was nice. For an all-inclusive resort, the beverage offering was very limited. Many cocktails, mocktails, iced coffees, and even hot chocolate were frequently out of stock at both pools. Entertainment was also limited. Activities like go-karting and jet skis were excluded, despite being marketed as part of the resort experience. Overall, this stay did not match our previous experience or the expectations of a premium all-inclusive resort.

People should know the full picture before booking Kandima, because the low price can be misleading. To get there, you need a domestic flight arranged by the hotel, costing $450 USD per person. Commercial flights exist, but their schedules don’t match well, and you still have to take a bus and boat afterward. For the return, they almost always book the 6am flight, so expect to be leaving your room at 3am, losing valuable vacation time. The island looks nice, but the service was frustrating. Staff smile, but they also entered our room without warning—even with the Do Not Disturb sign up—and called us multiple times for unimportant reasons. The water is pretty, but the beach is extremely rocky, especially by the Aqua Villas, and the lagoon is so shallow that you can barely get past your knees. There’s only one small market, and the restaurants are very expensive, with everything in USD. Since you have no other dining options, they take advantage of it. We experienced constant attempts to charge extra, from tips already included to ignoring discounts unless we insisted. My honest advice: choose a resort closer to Malé. It might cost more initially, but you’ll avoid the travel hassle and likely have a better stay.

There’s a clear reason why Kandima is cheaper than many other resorts in the Maldives, and future guests should be aware of it. Getting to the island requires a domestic flight arranged by the hotel, which costs $450 USD per person and is the cheapest option available. Commercial flights exist, but the schedules are inconvenient and still require a bus + boat transfer afterward. At checkout, the hotel usually books guests on the 6am flight, meaning you have to leave your room around 3am, losing part of your last day. The island itself is pretty, but the service is disappointing. Staff smile constantly, but they also enter rooms unexpectedly—even with the Do Not Disturb sign on—and call guests for unnecessary reasons. The water is clear, but the beach is extremely rocky, especially near the Aqua Villas, and the water is so shallow (knee-deep) that swimming isn’t really possible. There’s only one market, and the restaurants are very pricey, with everything charged in USD. There are also ongoing attempts to charge extra, from unnecessary tips (already included in the bill) to avoiding pre-applied discounts unless you ask. If you’re considering the Maldives, I strongly suggest choosing a resort closer to Malé. It may cost more upfront, but it will save time, reduce stress, and likely offer a better overall experience.

So the room was perfect and the views were unmatched! The weakness of the facility is their need to nickel and dime their guests at every corner with non-included things all over the island despite me being all inclusive. The next weakness was the staff apart from one fantastic bartender Rasel which I loved, many of the hospitality staff weren’t very friendly on top of the buffet area the tables were not kept clean and was often hard to find a place to sit. As far as the dining establishments go I felt the food was subpar for a place of its quality with many things not appearing on the menu that were advertised. Finally I was unable to make a single snorkel trip with them always being cancelled due to possible storms even on the best days.

Would have been 5 stars but there was a huge negative for us. We had paid for full board however of the 2 restaurants included one was closed for refurbishment. This meant every lunch and dinner we had to drag our 2 kids (one is 8 months old) to the other end of the island. Can either get a buggy or walk. Depending on how lucky you get with timing this could be 15-20mins on either option. A walk that far with 2 kids prams was unpleasant in the heat too! The staff in Kandiland were good as was Laizan the bus driver (apologies name likely incorrectly spelt!). He was great with our son.

The staff was great and very accommodating. The rooms are nice and clean, they even have a Nespresso machine. We loved the breakfast at Zest, however, the food in the outlets was overpriced and average at best. There are plenty of activities, especially for kids, we loved the live entertainment at the bar at night. One thing we did not like was the smoking policy. Everywhere we went, people smoked, whether it was at the pools, the bar or the restaurant. Very annoying.

Kandima is one of the several resorts but we liked the family friendliness of this resort. Does this place have the activities that an all inclusive in the Carribean has, probably not but it is a still a quiet place to spend maybe 4-5 days. Not too many dining options. And ironically the restaurants are only open in the evenings. For the price + all inclusive option, expected a bit more. Hence giving only 4 stars.

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
