Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives - Kids Stay & Eat Free and DIVE FREE for Certified Divers for a minimum 3 nights stay
10/10 Excellent
"My only regret about booing this hotel was not booking for longer. This was a bolt on for us after a longer trip and everything about it was perfect. The water bungalow was spacious and comfortable. The main buffet restaurant was hugely varied, catering for vegetarians and vegans well, with everything labelled for all dietary requirements. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and happy! We booked two snorkel trips, one with sharks and a free one to the house reef. Both were excellent. The speedboat transfer was efficient and the Holiday Inn desk was easy to find at Male airport. Everything was priced in us$ but by the time service charge and green tax was added it equated roughly to gbp and drinks were a bit pricey - £6 for a Fanta £17 for a cocktail. However they were probably the best Pina colada’s I’ve ever had so worth it! You could walk the perimeter of the island in about 15 minutes but they had a good buggy service which we didn’t bother with as walking enabled us to appreciate the birds, iguanas and hermit crabs that we saw all the time. There were a couple of beaches which were stunning. The pool was huge with varying areas and depths. There was entertainment two of the three nights we stayed which we enjoyed but we also loved watching the fish or the stars from the hammock on our balcony. Some elements of the resort are a little tired but we felt that was such a triviality compared with how wonderful everything else was. We loved every minute. "
"Our stay at SAii Lagoon was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the warm hospitality of the staff, the high-quality service, and the overall atmosphere of the resort. Every detail—from the well-maintained facilities to the diverse and delicious dining options—contributed to a truly seamless all-inclusive experience.
We originally visited to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday, and SAii Lagoon made the occasion truly unforgettable. The personalized touches and genuine care shown by the team elevated our stay in every way.
We also had the pleasure of meeting wonderful people during our time at the resort, which made the experience even more special. Without a doubt, we look forward to returning in the future and would highly recommend SAii Lagoon to anyone seeking a relaxing and memorable escape.
Thank you for an incredible stay!
