We love Kandima, it’s our second time there. It’s a great family friendly resort with lots of things to do and so many activities for the kids too. The resort is super clean and the water is crystal clear. The staff are all super friendly. The ladies working in the kids club, Kinadiland, are all beyond amazing and caring. Shau, Alina, and Gigi are all so loving and they took great care of my little son. He loved them so much and was always asking to go and play there. They always plan so many activities for the kids and they also have a splash park! We also got great service from the staff at Breeze Bar, especially Gopal and Manjula. They are very friendly and always accommodated our needs. The entertainment team was also great. Kyra was so sweet and had the best energy. She gave us a lot of aqua classes that were so fun and interactive. Her fire shows were also very fun to watch. This time we also tried many activities such as the jet ski ride, dolphin quest, and snorkeling trip. Captain Emad accompanied us on several trips and provided great support and guidance. We took the half board package both times. Breakfast is good, however dinner is okay. The food can use a little improvement, but I think they are already working on it as we have been told. Overall, it’s a great experience at Kandima and we would love to stay there again some day. Read less
