Maldives Romantic Holidays

Everything about this resort was spectacular from the staff to the amenities, etc. However, what really stood out to me was the quality of the food. Every meal was tasty, well seasoned, and fresh and every dish was constantly replenished. Ice cream instead of a welcome drink was very "cool";-) and my taste buds were pleasantly delighted with the cardamom crème brûlée!

From the moment we found the Cinnamon representatives at Malé airport to take us to our seaplane, we didn't have to think for ourselves for the remainder of one of the most relaxing weeks ever. The staff at the resort were incredibly welcoming and friendly throughout our stay. The buffet food was varied and plentiful; every meal also had at least one station with a chef to make you, depending on the mealtime, custom eggs, pasta dishes, stirfys, plus a special station that would change daily, from burgers to pizza to tacos, curries, fresh catches, bbq'd meats, etc. We enjoyed the adults only aspect and appreciated the peaceful atmosphere all over the resort. Even the architecture was calming; the overwater villas with their white sail rooves and the sweeping pathways across the reef all felt so natural with the white sand and palms and added a tremendous feeling of peace. The other resorts we saw from the seaplane just didn't look quite as good! Our overwater villa was just as fantastic as the pictures advertising it. We spent several hours on our private deck, lazing in the floor hammock, tanning on the loungers or just sitting on the edge, watching the marine life in the shallows from above. On one of the days, we went on one of the free excursions to go snorkelling in deeper waters; special thanks and admiration to the captain of the boat, who dove to the bottom of the reef to retrieve a snorkel mask one of us had dropped. Must have been at least 6 meters. A true hero.

Overall I think island is good comfortable bed and pool villa looks great but there are lots of small area needs to improve. Spa is outstanding massage Lots of mosquitoes I dont think the spray around. Plugs not working they still ate us alive tho. Welcoming was poor service not as you seen youtube. Honeymoon invitation was great but music was aweful with it. Tv sound is terrible. Buggy car has not timetable sometimes nothing sometimes a lot. Cocktails are great !! Housekeeper well talented!! Eco center shark program is great but other is ripp you off a bit ! They dont care if you are disappointed because they are fully booked Safitey said. Garden is amazing and well maintened! Lobby at the hudroplabe when we come is amazing !! We wont come back this island. For 20.000$ we would expect outstanding service. Only spa Cathy and Myo did wao service from begening to the end.

We returned to Ihuru 40 years after our honeymoon. It was basic but great then .... Now it is fantastic and great!

This was our trip to the Maldives and our first time at Lily's. Traveling during the low season helped us avoid the crowds and high prices. The Sunset water villa, which comes with a personal butler, is highly recommended. Our butler, Mussey, took care of all our needs. While our stay wasn't perfect, Mussey resolved all issues efficiently and swiftly. Despite being one of the older properties in the Maldives, Lily's maintains its rooms and grounds very well. With over six decades combined in the hospitality industry, my wife and I can be quite critical about accommodations and service standards. We'll return to collect our special memories scattered throughout the resort and island.
