We rested at the hotel in March 2020, my husband made a surprise on March 8th. I chose the hotel myself, more precisely on the recommendation of our travel agent, for which special thanks to her.
Flight Moscow-Male, direct flight "Aeroflot", 8 hours 30 minutes and we are on the spot, night flight, which is very convenient. On the plane, they filled out migration cards and information about the coronavirus, went through control at the airport and, having received luggage, went to the arrivals area. There we were met by a hotel representative and escorted to a nearby terminal for a domestic flight, helped with check-in and told us what to do next. Domestic flight - 30 minutes, new plane, everything on time, clean, friendly airline staff. Upon arrival, we were again met by the hotel staff, escorted to the bus, which took us to the pier, by the way, while you drive to the pier - 7-10 minutes maximum, you can see how the locals live : ). Next speedboat for another 20 minutes and hello Kandima!
We lived in a Beach studio with access to the beach, more precisely, to the lagoon with turquoise water and awesome sunsets in the evenings, which we watched sitting on the terrace of the room or on the beach. Comfortable, there is everything you need, the only thing was to ask for 2 additional adapters for sockets. Wi-fi in the rooms and throughout the hotel, we learned all the information from the hotel application, be sure to download it, you will be aware of the opening hours of all establishments on the territory of the hotel, and there are many of them, about all parties, evening and daytime events at the hotel, there You can also order food to your room and sign up for a spa center.
The island is very large and we really liked it, the first couple of days we took bicycles and rode around the island, exploring it, then we walked or used the bus that runs around the hotel.
Restaurants and food: we had half board plus, so we had breakfast and dinner included, and since we lived in the middle, between the two main restaurants, we alternated them : ) in both they cook very tasty and varied, the chefs are very friendly, they cook excellently, there are dietary and gluten-free dishes, there is a children's table. Be sure to visit the Asian restaurant - Dragon, we went 2 times for lunch and 1 time for dinner, fresh seafood and a good wine list. I liked Azur - excellent pizza, which can be ordered during the day in the central bar area as well. Loved Aroma Cafe, perfect place for an after lunch coffee break or ice cream tasting.
Evening programs and no Turkish animation, but there is: live music or a DJ plays, twice got to a special cocktail party.
The ocean is gorgeous, a long sandy beach with a gentle entrance, but coral slippers are better to take, although the beach is cleaned daily, but sometimes fragments in the sand come across.
SPA - did 2 massages, the prices were quite adequate, by the way, they can also be viewed on the hotel website in advance or in the application.
My husband went to the platform almost every day to swim with a mask, he really liked it. A couple of times I went diving and was satisfied. What pleased me was the presence of Russian-speaking staff at the reception and in the diving center, although our English is not bad, but it is always more pleasant to speak in our native language.
The hotel also has a very large mini-club and many guests with children, but since the island is large, no one bothers you! The average age of guests is 30+, guests of completely different nationalities, which is a definite plus of the hotel!
Of the features, the hotel takes a deposit upon arrival of $ 100 per room per day - we have blocked on the card, the point is that you make the calculation for all services at the time of departure and the amount is deducted from your deposit, there is no need to carry money or cards, which is very convenient. The rest of the deposit was returned to us on the card, about 10 days later.
We liked everything, we have been to many places and there is something to compare with, the hotel is not 5 deluxe, but a strong 5-a with excellent service and very reasonable cost.
I hope we will return there again, but already in the aqua villa, we liked them very much. : ) But if you need comfortable accommodation, delicious food, and not to be bored, so even for adequate money, take a closer look at Kandima, most likely - this is the best option.
