Excellent Food Variety

The dining experience was absolutely amazing. Each meal was a delight with a vast array of options, from fresh salads prepared by a skilled chef to very nice grilled dishes cooked right in front of you. The attention to detail in the food presentation was really good, and my waiter always remembered my drink preferences. Every day offered something new and exciting to try!

Relaxing Spa Retreat

The spa experience at Cinnamon Dhonveli was truly rejuvenating. I indulged in a Balinese massage that left me feeling completely relaxed. The serene atmosphere and skilled therapists made it one of the best spa experiences I've ever had. I highly recommend setting aside time to pamper yourself here.

Impressive Over Water Suite

I stayed in one of the over water suites and it was amazing! The stunning views of the ocean from my room made every moment feel like a dream. The room was beautifully decorated and equipped with modern amenities including a hot tub, which I enjoyed while watching the sunset. It truly felt like paradise.

Fun Evening Activities

The evening entertainment at the resort was fantastic! One night, I participated in the crab racing event, which was both hilarious and engaging. It was a unique experience that added a fun twist to my vacation. Each evening brought something new, and I loved spending time at the Rehendi bar enjoying live music.
