Our stay at Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives was excellent, unique and dreamlike. We would like to thank all the staff in general for their hospitality and kindness, especially Jameel who surprised us every day with something new in our room and Husam for his excellence in service. A dream come true.

We where given the opportunity to stay while on a sister island, best choice we ever made! The minute we landed by seaplane we where greeted with the warmest of welcomes. Throughout our 4 day stay the staff went above and beyond to make our stay special. From the ladies who sweep the sandy paths all the way up to the general manager, the staff where fantastic. We where lucky to have a pool water suit, absolutely wonderful, specious, large jacuzzi pool and great access to the reef. Restaurant was clean and a good selection of fresh foods and drinks. Majority of the island parameters are white coral sandy beach and turquoise sea. We tried the jetski and guided snorkeling, both where enjoyable and again great guidance from staff at the dive center. We also had a couples massage, wow! Them girls have magic hands. We took away so many memories and made new freinds. To everyone who works at cinnamon Velifushi thank you and we will be back to see you in the future. Read less
