Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives is known for its beautiful island and a location close to Male, ensuring a short speedboat ride. Many guests appreciate the spacious and well-designed rooms, especially the beachfront bungalows with private sunbathing areas just steps away from the ocean. The all-inclusive buffet offers a great selection of food, though some have noted a desire for more fresh vegetables and less spicy options. The resort provides excellent snorkeling opportunities with baby sharks and fishes readily visible, and evenings can be enjoyed with live music at the Sunset Bar.

Inconsistent Service and Overpriced Add-ons

clean roomrestaurant accesssalty south asian cuisine

The room was clean daily, at least consistent .

I was told access to three restaurants existed through my travel agency. I was disappointed to learn this was not the case. It was like an upsell tactic to get more money. The dining experience leaned heavily toward overly spicy and salty South Asian cuisine, so bring your own snacks if you don't like spicy food!
