Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives Hotel Review

By Nicole Brewer

Hello globetrotters! I recently returned to the USA from Oman after spending a few days in the Maldives for summer holidays. I was blessed to enjoy a review stay at Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma in the Maldives. Check out my detailed hotel review below.

Location and Access

Situated in the South Malé Atoll, the resort is only a 45 minute short speedboat ride from Velana International Airport. It offers convenient access without requiring an additional seaplane flight. The Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives offers a good value option for travelers looking to experience the Maldives without breaking the bank.

Accommodations

Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives offfers various types of villas, including garden-view, beach, and overwater options. I thoroughly enjoyed my overwater villa which was spacious with a large bedroom area, living room, outdoor tub, and a private deck for lounging. The roooms are comfortable with a beach-themed design. Followers of iluv2globetrot can use code MLEKF-KOL-NB for a special offer if you decide to book the resort via the IHG One Rewards app or website. The family-friendly resort is a gerat option for those with kids since children under 13 years, sharing their parent’s room, stay and eat free.
