We have just returned from a 14 night stay on Cinnamon Island. The weather was fantastic the whole stay. This island has a rock/coral beach so take a good pair of coral shoes. The hotel does have free coral shoes for you to use but the right sizes are not always available. We stayed in a beach villa (130) which... more

We booked our holiday through Thomson in January this year for out honeymoon this october/november. Firstly Thomson booked us into Meeru Island, but managed to bodge our booking up so "upgraded" us to Cinnamon Island, telling us they had paid the difference. They told us it was a speed boat transfer - it is not. When arriving at Male you... more

I'm just back from a wonderful holiday spent in Cinnamon Island Alidhoo. I was there with an Italian group for a week. The island is really very nice and even if there is not the "typical lagoon" I enjoyed the wonderful sea where every day I managed to see wonderful fishes (even dolphins!!) and turtles. The beach is a very... more

We have just returned from a 14 night stay at the Cinnamon Island Alidhoo resort. It was our first trip to the Maldives and we will definitely come back one day. The island is absolutely beautiful. We had booked to stay in one of the beach villas but on arrival, and seeing the ocean villas, we decided to upgrade to... more

We arrrived back yesterday after 14 disappointing days. Having visited the Meeru Island Resort in April this year we couldn't wait to return to the Maldives. We wanted to try a different Island but now wish we hadn't chosen this one. The Island is another 1hour internal flight from Male and then a 20 min boat trip which doesn't sound... more

Disappointing is the one word that springs to mind when I think of Cinammon Island. It was supposed to be the holiday of a lifetime for us being on our honeymoon and spent way over what we could afford as we were willing to spend more on a 5* luxury resort. However it wasnt 5* at all. We had better... more

Great accomodation, poor location. the bar, pool etc face sunRISE, therefore at 4.30 p.m. whole area in shadow. no beach to speak of, difficult if not impossible acces to the sea except via a jetty. restaurant serves ok food which is highly repetitive,same dishes several days on the trot, and so dark you cannot see to choose or eat. Staff... more

Cinnamon Island was everything we needed for a perfect honeymoon – amazing scenery, beautiful beach, turquoise seas and great accommodation! We totally fell in love with the Maldives – having only been to European beaches previously, we were blown away by the beauty of the place and can’t wait to see more places like this. The resort itself was well... more
