Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon

My husband and I came here in November for 10 nights and loved every bit. The staff, views, food, rooms and variety of trips were all 10/10! We’ll start with our room - we stayed in a standard room which was perfect for us. It was clean, spacious and the outside bathroom was a nice touch. We were super close to the pool area too which we liked. The food - a huge variety and we loved speaking to all the chefs and getting to know them. There was so many different stations for breakfast, lunch and dinner and we enjoyed every meal we had. The views - speechless!!! Every day we woke up and went for a swim and each time we were amazed at the views when looking over the pool ledge. We loved walking around the Island and seeing all the baby sharks and fish swimming by our feet. The trips - the two guys who run the trips were great! We did the dolphin tour and travelled to the local island - Hangnaameedho. They had tons of information for us. The local island was my favourite part. I loved seeing how the locals live - we visited the school, saw their court house, drunk some fresh coconut water and loved chatting to the locals and their children. The staff - they were all amazing! Considering the hours they all work, they always had a smile on their face and couldn’t do enough for us! We didn’t come across one member of staff who didn’t want to help and they all seem to really enjoy working there. One person in particular who made our trip even better was Saman who works by the pool side - what an amazing person! We spoke to him every day and loved hearing about his family back in Sri Lanka. He works so hard, always put the customers first, was kind and considerate and never left us without a towel! For us, he is someone we won’t forget after our trip and we hope his son gets the dog he’s been wishing for ;-)!! Thank you so much for our amazing stay! We hope to come back at some point in the future.

Me and my daughter visited Ellaidhoo by cinnamon, from the very start we was greeted by the whole island, every single person was so kind caring smiley and thoughtful, we were treated like queens the whole time we were there, loved chatting to everyone , the diving centre are just superb at what they do we really loved snorkelling diving and canoeing, all the guys were so lovely. And they are with you every step of the way, specially as I got slightly scared! The kitchen staff are the funniest and always remembered what your favourite is, and the chef is outstanding at what he does such perfection with every single meal! The food was unreal!! Our beach bungalow was perfectly clean so a high standard, everybody was just so happy to see us everyday, and the manager is a angel, we burnt pretty bad and without his suggestion of the pure aloe Vera plant he had some given to us! Such a friendly and sweet man, my daughter had a birthday out there they made a cake and sang to her it was just utterly lovely if every one of them, the two sweet ladies in the spa, the treatments are really something the ladies are so professional and have the most calming voices. Not forgetting chalani peiris and a sweet other lady whom name escapes me where so so helpful and incredibly sweet, we miss everyone so much, the whole island is just stunning I will be back as soon as possible!! Every person always kept social distancing and protective masks we felt ever so safe, everything was being cleaned constantly, most relaxing holiday we have ever had the pleasure of having. Xx
