Rested three of us with daughters 3.5 years.
We flew in April with Azur Ukraine from Anex, a direct nine-hour charter, there were no comments on the air.
In the morning we flew to Male airport and spent about an hour on everything, incl. speedboat waiting.
The boat arrived in 15 minutes and here we are. They settled in pretty quickly. Our room was a bungalow on the water (right side of the beach). We dropped our bags and made it to lunch. Well, then we had a wonderful vacation for 13 days.
Number:
It is awesome, we had a window and a door to the terrace overlooking the open ocean, and only the boats passing by were visible to us. In the room there are bathrobes, flip flops, toothbrushes, soap-snouts, flat TV, a bluetooth speaker (bose really fit the theme), a kettle, etc. We replenished every day water up to 3 and a half, tea and coffee bags. The bungalow is very impressive in size and a great terrace for night gatherings. From the terrace there is an entrance to the ocean, but from it we descended into the ocean only once. Since we are with a child, it was more convenient for us to swim in the ocean on the beach. We often took food in a restaurant and fed fish and sharks right from our bungalow. Sailed and stingrays to the room. The bathroom has a huge shower and a corner hot tub with an ocean view (we dreamed of sitting in it once, but never found the time).
Beach:
It was the best in my daughter's life - 'without waves and depth' and in addition some water, probably 27-29 degrees. Beach sandy corals come across under your feet, especially noticeable at low tide, but we were without special shoes and everything is ok. Umbrellas are huge along the beach, under one umbrella up to 5 sun loungers fit. Towels are given out, but if you leave during the day and leave only them on the sun loungers, then when you come back to the beach in the evening, you will have to stomp again for new ones.
Snorkeling
We swam without fins and only in our lagoon. In addition to various fish, we saw a turtle and an octopus, not small. From the conversations of other tourists, they realized that the reef is not as lively and not saturated with life as it happens in other places, but I do not have enough experience to compare.
Weather:
Of our 13 days, it only rained on the 7th and lasted about 3-4 hours. All other days are hot. The ultraviolet index at noon is always 11. In the afternoon after the restaurant, we always went to our daughter's room for a nap and returned to the beach after it. We swam until dark and then went to dinner.
Playground:
An excellent platform. After every dinner, my daughter hung out there with other children and was delighted. Next to the ping pong court and played it a couple of times.
Restaurant:
We had FB. Drinks in the morning were all available, which were poured, for dinner and lunch on the table only one and a half bottles of water. Wine and beer bought extra. My wife and I spent about 200 dollars on alcohol for all days. From the dishes I can say that the food has always been very tasty and it’s rare that I didn’t like something that I took on a plate. The cuisine is international, there was also Russian fish soup, Ukrainian lard, Spanish chicken, some kind of Polish soup, German... there have always been seafood, but if squid, shrimp or octopus, then more often as part of a dish. Delicious wok dishes with seafood and vegetables prepared with your choice of ingredients. Sweets and ice cream are always in abundance. Fruits pineapples, apples, orange, papaya, banana, passion fruit, watermelon, fruit salad also contained pitaya, carom, plums and grapes sometimes. As for vegetables, I know that my wife was satisfied, as they prepare personal salads of your choice.
Staff:
As you treat them, so they treat you. But in general, while we were of a sour cream shade, we greeted each other and smiled more willingly. We liked the staff.
Shopping:
The field trip to Ostroy with locals was closed due to the pandemic. There was only one souvenir shop on the island. The choice is small, but in vain they pulled to the last day, it became even smaller (
Total:
Cinnamon Dhowelli Island Hotel is magical! He is clean and friendly. I want to go back there and there was a tear on the last day

I was offered this hotel from what was there. I didn’t choose this hotel at all, but there was no place, and I had to leave on certain dates. I was offered Cinnamon. This hotel had a beautiful coastline. Everything was fine here, except for the rooms themselves, but we understood that. On 4ku this hotel does not pull, when compared with the European level - it's 2 stars.

This hotel had a beautiful coastline. Everything was fine here, except for the rooms themselves, but we understood that. On 4ku this hotel does not pull, when compared with the European level - it's 2 stars. But the advantage of this hotel was that the room was located on a chic ocean shore with good entry into the water, and this compensated for everything. After 5 days, we were offered to change to their second heaped island hotel for a variety of holidays, with a plane, with everything. Everything was wonderful, the rooms were first class, free fishing, hunting and what else you might want, as well as dinners. All this was included in the cost of compensation. I am a beach holiday lover, when I can go to sea, but here it’s more like an amateur. There was only one pool in the bay, and everything else was a beach with sharks and moray eels.
The service in both one and the second hotel was excellent. Why I liked this hotel, that I was able to visit two hotels in such a short time and I liked everything.
If the hotel change was always included, then this hotel deserves a rating of 9. And since it does not include a hotel change, it pulls 5 points more out of 10, and then only for the coastal line.
If you go to Cinnamon, then it is better to take a bungalow on the beach and not overpay for houses on the water, this is stupidity. This hotel is great for families with children or even just for a quiet and relaxing holiday.

A great place for a romantic getaway. An interesting and numerous underwater world, many different fish, small sharks) Very beautiful. It is also very convenient that the island is only twenty-five minutes away by speedboat. The hotel has excellent food. There are three restaurants you will be assigned to one of them, but unfortunately only in it you will eat all the time.

It is also very convenient that the island is only twenty-five minutes away by speedboat. The hotel has excellent food. There are three restaurants you will be assigned to one of them, but unfortunately only in it you will eat all the time. This does not affect the assortment, but it's a little insulting) The food is varied, everything is very tasty. Lots of seafood, a good selection of meat, fish and poultry. Great desserts and delicious ice cream. There is even diet food. They organized themed evenings with different cuisines of the world. Always freshly squeezed juices. Originally delicious mixed salads I really liked. Alcohol is of good quality. If you fly to rest in the Maldives, you should plan a romantic relaxing vacation here, you are unlikely to find parties of noisy discos. Of the entertainment at the hotel, they arranged crab races, live music, but in the evenings it was somewhat boring) Yes, and the Internet is paid. But all around you is beauty and tranquility. Everything breathes romance and relaxation. The hotel has a calm sea lagoon without waves. You can ride a catamaran or go on an excursion. We went to see the turtles very much. Everything about the stay is good, excellent service. There are no complaints here and I see no reason to describe in detail. Definitely recommend this hotel for couples for a romantic getaway.

We chose the hotel because of the low cost and proximity to the airport. On the boat for about twenty-five minutes, so the long journey does not threaten you here. The island is beautiful, lots of greenery, everything is well-groomed. It's very nice to take a walk. There are pools for kids and adults but they are not particularly needed here.

The island is beautiful, lots of greenery, everything is well-groomed. It's very nice to take a walk. There are pools for kids and adults but they are not particularly needed here. There is even a tennis court, so diversify at least a little leisure time, but still, it’s better to plan a vacation on the islands only as a romantic, calm one, it’s not Turkey for you and it makes no sense to go here for animation) But surfers will be comfortable here. In one part of the island there is a lagoon where you can safely swim in the other part of the wave. The lagoon is quiet and calm with white sand, in general, a paradise for seals. Lots of different fish and other marine life. The food is excellent, of course, again, not Turkey, but the choice of food is excellent, especially the salads that make you out of what you need. Grilled meat all the time in the evening. Daily theme nights. Ice cream season fruits are a good choice. Sea food selection is small but they are. Freshly squeezed juices for breakfast. Good quality alcohol. Cocktails are excellent. What else do you need for a relaxing holiday) And for such a small price, the choice of food is very good. And the hotel has very good service, but apart from the guide, the hotel does not have Russian-speaking staff. We have no problems with this, but keep in mind. We were warned about this when booking the tour. Upon arrival, they settled ahead of schedule and checked out as usual, but they allocated a room, things were put in storage, and they didn’t even take off the bracelets to eat in a restaurant or refresh themselves in a bar. I also really liked that the attitude towards everyone is the same, no matter where you come from. Internet is paid, which is strange for such a hotel, but still these are islands and this little thing is not particularly important, at least for us. And so we got a comfortable relaxing holiday!

In the Maldives in August, my husband and I spent a "honey" two weeks - a wedding gift from our parents. The Cinnamon Dhonveli hotel was chosen by ourselves. We were very worried that we would fall into the rainy season, but it was not possible to reschedule. P Luce in Coral booked a tour at a good price. In the end, everything went wonderfully: the weather was great and even when it rained, we did not get bored in the bars or in the room.

At the airport we were met by a Russian-speaking girl from Koral, there was an individual transfer by boat to the hotel, upon arrival we were in for a surprise - champagne and a romantic set for the newlyweds as a gift. Our bungalow was at the very end, so the waves were not felt at all, but the impressions were fabulous. Emotions are difficult to convey in words, but such a vacation is worth the money.
