엘라이두 몰디브 바이 시나몬

awesome place, excellent hospitality by staffs across all departments. they will go the extra mile to make your stay memorable. beautiful house reefs, excellent AI menu. room facilities are beyond what you pay for. definitely a place to make your Maldives vacation memorable.

Overall stay was Good but disappointment in the beginning because there was charges for the transportation from the Airport to the Resort. The charges is very expensive and we have overlooked the fine print in the Agoda booking. It states One way free transfer but only applicable till Dec 2023. Pls remove this misleading information as i had booked this resort in Jan/Feb 2024. The Resort did NOT consider to give any discount or consideration for price reduction. The staff said refer to AGODA . I guess its too late once we arrived there only realised this misleading fine print. AGODA do consider compensating us because it costs us more than RM2,000.00 ONLY for the Airport transfer. NOT WORTH IT !!! .... Next time include in the package to make it more attractive for OTHER travelers. TQ

Overall our stay was just as good as last year. Good reef for sure. All the staff, was good, especially Mr Saakal at the buffet restaurant, took care of us very well. Thank you Mr. Robert for your kind attention to everything. The only thing was that the buffet restaurant's food could have been improved.

This is the 6th time we visited Maldives. We stayed here for 4 nights in a water villa in All Inclusive Package, with a what I regarded as extremely good rate, including 75 minutes speed boat transfer. The water villa was not particularly large but functional and comfortable. We requested sunset facing which was honoured. Several good things which may not be found in other resorts. Under All Inclusive package, we have a choice of Madi Restaurant which served buffet and Scenic Restaurant which served unlimited A La Carde orders. Food of both restaurants are commendable. Staff were in general very friendly but not all. The service at Scenic Restaurant tended to be slow. Snorkeling is the best that one can expect with plenty of healthy corals and sea life. The House reef was easily accessible. We spotted a good number of sharks, a few sting rays and a few turtles. But the current was strong from the West during our stay. Wear life jacket if you are not strong swimmers. The resort was surrounded by concrete blocks probably to prevent loss of sand and thereby affecting the scenery to an extent. Water Sports equipment are available only at extra charges. The transfer arrangements could be less flexible due to the distance and is understandable. Our flight arrived late and therefore stayed firstly in a hotel in Hulhumale. But we were asked to report to the airport by 09:00 the next morning while the boat is not available until 10:15. Why couldn't they ask us to be there by 10:00, so that we do not need to be so rush? Overall, Ellaidhoo is recommendable if you find a good rate.

We have been to the Maldives annually for over 12 years but Ellaidhoo had the very best house reef for snorkeling, we have ever found. We have also been to Tahiti, Fiji, Australia , Hawaii & Pacific islands, and nothing compares. Amazing & colorful coral with fabulous quantity & variety of fish, eagle rays & sharks. So much so that we booked before leaving the island for the next year. Wonderful staff, especially Leem (buffet ) Khalid (housekeeping) & Damith (A La Carte Bar). Thank you to you all for your exceptional service. Jen & Steve.
