Cinnamon Hakuraa is an amazing paradise Island, spotlessly clean with friendly and helpful staff. We stayed in a beach bungalow (205) which was well equipped and spacious, perfectly designed and very comfortable. Our room was kept immaculately clean by Chopra who was lovely, very friendly and efficient.The food was good quality, varied and well laid out to minimise queueing. As a vegan there was less choice, but the staff were helpful and tried their best to provide vegan options. You are allocated with the same table to dine for the duration of the holiday, our waiter Fulu was great, very attentive and quickly provided our drinks normally without us even asking! Shout out to the bar staff Pratima, Shakthi, Kasun, Sompath, Akalantka, who we can confirm do not close the bar until the last guests leave. The resident entertainers (singers) were good fun. This is the ideal Island if you are looking for a quiet and relaxing holiday. The only downside is the sea is particularly shallow, you can walk out a considerable distance and the water is not deep enough to swim. Read less

Mandara Spa offered us a very relaxing experience in the middle of the tropical paradise island. We had the Balinese massage with my husband and feel all ready for the evening activities and dinner. Thank you very much for the experience Mandara Spa!

This resort is absolutely beautiful!!!! The staff are absolutely outstanding and will go above and beyond.. Hannan was our waiter for our stay and this man is a absolute credit to the island and nothing is too much trouble for him… he’s a star ⭐ We stayed on the platinum Island and our beach bungalow was just absolutely perfect The washing service is absolutely outstanding and we did not come home with one dirty bit of laundry. That is an absolute must for an absolute bargain this island was everything we wished for… Nandama was the bartender and soon as we had a empty glass, he will be there with a fresh drink.. we was repeaters to the island this is our third return and all the management team make a huge fuss of you and one particular night they laid on a cocktail party. It was incredible they love repeaters!!! Lalag would most nights come to our dinner table to see if we’ve had a good day and if there was anything else we needed he is absolutely a credit to this island… We visited the spa twice and it is so tranquil relaxing thank you to all the girls!! Every day we went out snorkelling on the complementary snorkelling trips and all the guys on the boat were most helpful and very accommodating!! All in all I can say this is the most beautiful relaxing holiday we’ve ever been on and we cannot wait to book to come again next year and this time for even longer thank you to everyone who made our holiday!!! WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED EVERY SINGLE PART AND DIDN’T WANT IT TOO END ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re lucky enough to Book yourself a holiday to this beautiful island, you will not be disappointed ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read less

Every day room is cleaned if requested by guests and the housekeeper always approach you in a ver professional manner to know if you need anything The bar had a selection of drinks and also a great atmosphere both during day and specially during the night. A big shoutout to all the bar workers always serving with a smile, they do a great job. The restaurant and food selection was also great with a buffet full of different dishes, fruits and desserts. We would like to point out the great service of Shifaz, always welcoming with a smile and willing to help at any time, you guys have a wonderful team but we were specially delighted with his warming and professional service and positive attitude, you guys have a great employee in Shifaz.

Primarily, the staff need to be hailed as the “Hero’s of Hakurra!”. They really are wonderful. Nothing is too much trouble. Special mention to our Room boy and our waiter, Lamaah. The island of Hakurra Hurra is beautiful and very well maintained. The food was delicious and varied. We stayed in a water villa which was stunning, however, the canvas sail roofs are loud and do let in a lot of light, so be prepared to use the eye masks and earplugs provided! The two negatives about the island was how loud the generator was. I would really like them to look into sound proofing it somehow. Also, the beach was mainly concrete with course sand on top. I understand this is due to the effects of costal erosion but it would have been nice to have had deeper, softer sand. I would recommend taking beach shoes with you. Also, take some dollars in cash for you to tip the staff. There is no way of getting cash on the island. We only had euros and although we left them anyway, we would have preferred to thank them with dollars. All in all. A wonderful holiday on a lovely island. Would definitely recommend and are looking at returning to the adults only side next year as it has more natural sand, and is further away from the generator. Read less
