We had an amazing family vacation here! 🌴 This place is absolutely perfect for families with kids — peaceful, clean, and super kid-friendly. The public pool is refreshing, and the separate kids’ pool is awesome — our little ones had a blast! 💦 The food buffet was also fantastic with a wide variety of dishes to choose from, something for everyone, even picky eaters. Highly recommended for families looking for a relaxing and fun getaway! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🍽️🏖️

Special thanks to Ms. Amina, Mr. Shivang, and Ms. Anushka (with her beautiful smile) at the front desk, as well as manager Mr. Shamim for their outstanding hospitality. The restaurant team deserves a huge thank you for their quick service and meticulous attention to detail, especially when it came to catering to our kids.

We came to Holiday Inn through Perfect Wave. We had a wonderful experience & will definitely be back! The hotel is very family-friendly with activities for all ages. We started our stay at the over-water bungalow but decided to downgrade to another room due to proximity to the restaurants, surf, etc. The Perfect Wave staff was informative. The staff at Kandooma Dive were very well-experienced, prioritized safety & created a great diving experience every day! We were pleasantly surprised by the food - lots of excellent options & variety. Munaaz was our favorite server - he was professional & always had a huge smile on his face to greet us.

I booked a stay at this property because it was the only one that accepted IHG loyalty points and what an incredible decision it was to call this resort home for five unforgettable nights. Even before we arrived, I was in touch with Shaan and Luca at the Dive Team along with Sravani and Prahbath in the Reservations Team. Their email responses were quick, informative, and kind, a telling sign of what we would experience upon arrival. Pickup information at the airport was communicated clearly and the boat transfer was easy. We were even allowed to check into our gorgeous room early and loved meeting more of the staff, including General Manager Mark and Reservations team superstar Selena, at a members only cocktails night on the Thursday evening of our stay there. Every staff member greeted us enthusiastically and made us feel right at home. Scuba diving with the dive team was by far the highlight of my trip. The boat crew fully prepared our gear, reminded us regularly about our safety checks, and even shared photos and videos that they took while we were underwater. We were able to see sea turtles, sharks, eagle rays, and even a sleeping nurse shark--what an incredible destination! If you can visit before 31 December 2025, try your best to take advantage of the Dive Program that Mark has created for diving enthusiasts. Every employee at this property should be commended for their legendary service, friendliness, and professionalism. While I don't often return to the same destination, this property is one for which I would certainly make an exception. It was a dream come true to visit the Maldives and stay with Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma—paradise on earth!
