Travel to Kelaa

An absolute place of utter luxury and wonderful attentive staff across the entire Island resulting in an amazing vacation

I’ve traveled to several different countries as a solo traveler, and I had higher expectations for Maldives. The service was decent. Some of the excursions were a little overpriced. There was a dirty mop smell near entrance where the mini bar was located. I thought housekeeping would have done something about the smell considering it was very strong. The chef at Tex Mex during the morning shift makes great food according to the menu. When I went back in the evening on my last day to purchase the same meal, the Nachos were completely different from what I had in the morning and it was difficult for me to finish the food (didn’t want to waste it). I did inform two staff members at the restaurant and the waiter asked if I wanted another one and I told her it would still come out the same because of the chef who’s cooking the meal. So all in all I paid for a meal I didn’t enjoy. This was the case for the items in the mini freezer, when I arrived I was told that the drinks in the freezer were complementary. When I went to grab a drink that turned out to be alcohol, I took a sip and it wasn’t good so I disposed the rest of the drink and I told the housekeeper this and I was still charged. In that same freezer I found something that appeared to look like mold on two of the alcohol bottles, and that could have contributed to the dirty mop smell I smelled around that area. I wasn’t aware that I was suppose to get VIP amenities during my stay, it sure didn’t feel like a VIP stay.

Beautiful island. The staff and service is fantastic.

This resort is really challenging. It is brand new, fresh, and clean. However, as it has just opened, there are many issues due to its youth. The personnel is sometimes a bit rude, but the manager is a great guy who we had the honor to meet in person and really addressed our problems with the room. A word of caution: The seaplane experience is a nightmare. We waited for 3 hours in the lounge for a 30-minute flight. MAKE SURE THEY ASSIGN YOU ROOMS ON THE WEST SIDE OF EITHER ISLAND. DO NOT accept rooms on the east side. It’s windy, and the water reef is not appealing. Consider yourself warned!

I couldn't wait to write a review for this place and writing this on my way to Airport. If you are thinking to visit Maldives, Please don't waste your money on expensive resorts. You will get same level of comfort, scenic, ocean view room, service, food options here at Huraa island in Kanbo Rani hotel. Hotel representative picked us up from airport. Took us to a nice ocean front restaurant for breakfast and then boarded us on the speed boat to Huraa We got a warm welcome with drink at the hotel and our vacation began. I had a ocean view room which is more spacious than my own flat's bedroom. Its clean and clear. Room had awesome view of infront trees and sea green water. Breakfast is plentiful. Owner Abdullah Sir, Manager Mirza sir were super helpful. Its Mirza sir for whom we were able to go snorkelling. Special thanks to you. All the service was also awesome. They gave attention just as much as it is required. We were also invited for a very beautiful decorated outdoor dinner. Besides the hotel, Huraa Island is very small, quiet and beautiful island. It takes all kind of payments like USD, MVR, VISA Cards. To summarise Kanbo Rani hotel made our Maldives visit memorable, and we could not thank them enough for that. I recommend Huraa and Kanbo Rani Hotel.
