Our best vacations ever! The hotel was incredible, with many activities do have fun. The food was super good and the staff was the kindest and most friendly we have ever met in a hotel. We spend our honeymoon here and the extras we got for this were super cute, specially the couples massage. The food was super tasty and to be honest this was quite surprising as “all inclusive” packages then to be quite average, but in this hotel every detail is a different level, and food was just amazing. The staff … dont know even where to start… they were just so nice, helpful, super polite and friendly… we really felt super sad to have leave the hotel and all the amazing people that contributed to our best holidays ever. We cannot wait to be back! Thank you Kandima for being part of these amazing memories

Beach was nice - that’s about it
The hotel is set on a beautiful natural island, there was sand everywhere, even in reception which added the vibe. We had to wait in reception, in the sweltering heat for 40 mins before we could go to our room. The service was so slow and painful. I had previously been emailing the hotel to book the seaplane and organise a room upgrade half was through the holiday to surprise my wife for her birthday. I didn’t get a reply half the time and only just managed to book the seaplane in time. At check in I tried to explain this when my wife wasn’t around, they then spoilt the surprise by announcing how much the upgrade would cost in front of my wife. I was so annoyed. When we checked into the beach studio, we were underwhelmed. Apart from the beautiful view of the beach, it felt very basic and not at all luxury. When we did finally upgrade to the over water villa with swirl pool, it felt much nicer. I wish we had stayed there the entire trip. But that being said, the shower head was broken, the swirl pool kept turning on by itself and the room felt tired and worn. The food was okay. Nothing amazing. There were cafes which mainly had cakes - I wish they have more salads or healthy sandwiches for lunch. The kids club was good - my son enjoyed going and had fun. Staff there were fantastic. When we left, the hotel booked us on a ridiculously early seaplane without telling us until 9pm the night before, so that made our journey home very long and tiring.

Oh My God!!! This place was literally PARADISE! My wife and I were just there in November for our honeymoon and we loved every single minute that we spent there! From arriving and being greeted by the amazing stafff at the dock with fresh beverages to our breathtaking over water villa. The views were incredible, the food was amazing, the staff was perfect and so helpful, there were so many activities to do and the atmosphere was fantastic! We went snorkeling off of our deck every day and eventually went deep water snorkeling with the group. The banana boat ride was a RUSH and so much fun especially because we got to go alone. We were there during Halloween week so the property decorated the grounds, had themes at every corner, scary movies on the beach and a small performance too. I give this property and experience a perfect 10/10 because I can’t think of a single thing that could’ve been better, I would just tell people coming from the USA to be prepared for a loooong trip to PARADISE!
