We had a really nice stay at Cinnamon Velifushi and enjoyed every part of our time there. The resort is beautiful, peaceful, and has a great atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and enjoy the island. Nishaal from Housekeeping was really friendly and made sure our room was always clean and comfortable. He was kind and helpful whenever we needed anything, which made our stay even better. We also had a great experience with the F&B team. Nethymi was very helpful and friendly, and the service during our meals was really good. Overall, everyone was welcoming and made us feel comfortable throughout our stay. The beautiful surroundings, good service, and friendly staff made our holiday a memorable one. We would definitely love to come back to Cinnamon Velifushi again.

Was blown away with Cinnamon Velifushi! What an experience, over water bungalows are superb, chefs are so amazing. To name a few Chef Roaji and Chef Lasitha loved our positive feedback. Every day the menu changed and was so delicious. You could ask for mashed potatoes and steak which was beautifully presented, nothing was to much trouble. The staff are happy in their roles which makes for a very enjoyable stay. Really enjoyed the logistic walkthrough departments such the diesel generators, the massive equipment in the laundry, the reverse osmosis plant supplying all shower and general use on island except brought in drinking water. Even talked about staff sports an recreation. We were surprised by the chefs and staff making us feel special as we were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. Just love the bar and reception with clean white sand floors.
We had a fantastic time at Cinnamon Velifushi. We booked the aIl-inclusive package and the beach villa and loved every second of our time there. The amenities are outstanding with beautiful wooden architecture. The beach villa is spacious with beautiful views of the ocean from the bed, the buffet food was excellent with lots of choice of cold and hot food as well as local dishes (we even found some very good focaccia, which we really appreciated being Italian!). We recommend the all inclusive option for the best value for money and a proper holiday feel and no stress. We had lots of fun and did some incredible snorkeling with the staff at the diving centre. Everyone went absolutely out of their ways with little sweet gestures from arranging for a cake on my birthday (inclusive of happy bday singing by the staff) to lovely bed decorations and goodbye wishes on our last day. We especially would love to give a shout out to the incredible level of service of Mei & Anggi from the spa for the outstanding massage, best of our lives, to Sarala, Aanim and Gayan from the pool bar for their kindness, good chats, fun attitude and remembering our orders, to Vikaash for the bed decorations and sweet messages, to Vineesh for his table service, to Afif for the local tour on the nearby islands and to Rumi and Saddam for the most fun snorkeling experiences. They all made us feel welcome and by the end of our stay we felt part of the island family. Our second time in the Maldives, first in this atoll and it won't be the last for sure! Thank you all by Sara & Tom.
We had a wonderful stay and were very impressed by the exceptional service. A special mention to Nishaal, our room attendant, who was extremely attentive, changed our sheets daily, kept our room spotless, and took care of every issue we had. He truly made our vacation more comfortable. Shameem at the restaurant was also excellent, and we received great service from the bar team. We would also like to mention the lovely Maldivian girl at Front Office who was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The resort has a beautiful white sandy beach around the island and a great house reef, with stingrays and eagle rays often seen at night. Our only disappointment was the food at Vah Restaurant, which was quite average and could definitely be improved. Apart from the food, the service, staff, beach, and marine life were fantastic. Overall, a memorable stay with exceptional hospitality.
How can I describe how amazing our stay was at Cinnamon Velifushi? My husband and I were able to stay here for five days in August while on our honeymoon, and from the start it was absolutely incredible. They made the process so easy by meeting us in the airport and transporting our luggage so it was there at our cabin when we arrived (which, by the way, was upgraded for us for free by management as a honeymoon surprise)! The staff were so kind and hardworking and made everything truly awesome. Shoutout to Adam, our waiter, who was very attentive and made sure that we had everything we needed during our meals. The excursions were awesome and we saw so many dolphins during the dolphin one. The massage was soooo relaxing and calming. The food spread was incredible and it was fantastic to be able to grab a drink or snack basically at any time and chill out on our back deck or by the pool. The entertainment at night was fun too. We were worried that August might bring too much rain but it was just perfect and any rain was brief. The reef snorkeling was awesome and we saw rays, sharks, turtles, and so many fish. Overall it was an 11/10 experience and we are recommending it to everyone in our lives who will listen now. We will definitely have to come back and try staying at more Cinnamon properties.
