Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives: Kids Stay, Eat & Dive Free - Guraidhoo (Kaafu Atoll)

Fine beach views from the One-Bedroom Beach House.

The hidden charges during checkout were surprising and unacceptable.

Had the standard villa and it was well priced and lovely romantic even on walls behind bed. An electric kettle, a mini bar fridge, and air conditioning were there too.

Came here for trip, had fantastic 4 days overall. The location was stunning and absolutely perfect in a fantastic area, short walk to a river, local island, and the Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma. The breakfast...  

The snorkeling was very nice, especially when we saw schools of vibrant fish and even some reef sharks. The staff were so accommodating, and the kids loved the dedicated play area and the water park.

My kids wished there were more evening activities for children.

There's nice main bar with cool beverages...

The rooms are neat with exceptionally comfortable beds and smoke detectors. The breakfast is extensive and sumptuous with the dishes from all over the world and food from all around the...  

An lovely family holiday with fine outdoor showers and a fantastic water park for kids. The dining experience was really good. Breakfast feasts were complemented by scrumptious butter on fresh bread. Some inconsistency in meal variety for children and minor room amenities were noticeable. The transportation could be improved for a smoother transition between areas.

The experience was pleasant overall, with friendly staff and beautiful views. Beach access was sometimes crowded and the dining options were limited. Even with those minor drawbacks, the comfortable atmosphere and relaxing environment.

The breakfast options are varied and delicious, making it a great choice for my next trip.

This place offers a secluded setting in various parts of the resort and is close to a restaurant, has beautiful island surroundings, and a great variety of drinks available.

Beautiful beachfront location enhanced our stay.

Upon arrival, I was given a different room than what I reserved. The so-called 'upgrade' turned out to be disappointing and cramped. The lack of communication regarding the dinner bill on departure day was frustrating, leaving me unprepared and annoyed.

Great kids' club but inconsistent dining options led to confusion.

The best and worst parts

The food was excellent with a superb breakfast and buffet dinner options! Fine beach views complemented our relaxing stay, and the various activities like free snorkeling were a huge plus!

While the amenities were nice, some restrictions felt overwhelming, like limited pool hours and snorkeling access, which detracted from the experience.

Totally recommend for a short interlude

Comfortable bed, excellent amenities, including an outdoor shower that allows you to wash away sand quickly before entering the room and great Wi-Fi connectivity making it easy to stay connected during your time on the island....  

The resort had beautiful green landscapes, well-kept paths, and easy access to the beach, perfect for a senior like me to navigate comfortably . The decor was charming and inviting.

Improve clarity of dining options upon arrival.
