From beginning to end, we were completely happy, and every wish, whether spoken or unspoken, was fulfilled. This is our second time here, and we're even sadder to be leaving than we were the first time. We love Kandima, and we especially want to highlight Jalil's tireless service. Even in the sweltering heat, she always had a smile for everyone and was always willing to go the extra mile. Thanks again to Jalil and, of course, to the entire Kandima team. We hope to see you again soon!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I booked private villa with a private pool, beach side. Instead, I was put in villa right next to a big construction site. I was woken every day at 8:00 AM by clanging, banging and all the noises a construction site make. I wanted to enjoy peace in my private garden and listen to sound of ocean and nature, instead I got zero peace and heard only construction work, both near pool and near beach. At time of booking or arrival, there was no mention of construction work. Instead of destressing on vacation, I got super stressed. Asked for a new villa, was told they are fully booked until I leave. After contacting Expedia I was given a new villa for last day only. I asked hotel for compensation, but they have refused to take accountability for this situation, which I find incredible and not at the industry standard of a 5* resort.
