Hotelhinweis

formerly Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives
*********************
Hotel-independent transfer information:
Speedboat: Operation for anticipated arrival/departure from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. // Domestic flight: Operation for anticipated arrivals/departures from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. // Seaplane: Operation for anticipated arrivals/departures from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Waiting times of 3 hours or more for onward transfer are possible.
There may be 1–2 stopovers during seaplane transfers.
For arrivals/departures outside these times, an overnight stay in Male must be booked in advance. The costs for this must be borne by the guest. Exceptions are changes due to flight delays, bad weather, or long waiting times at immigration (in such cases, our local agency will take care of a potential overnight stay).
*************************************
In the Maldives, most rooms are equipped with one or two queen/king-size beds. With an occupancy of 2 adults + 1 or 2 children, it is possible that only 1 or 2 large beds are available in total. Accordingly, it may happen that when 2 adults + 1 or 2 children are in one room, a child must sleep in the parents' bed.
*************************************
Please note that for safety reasons, rooms with direct pool/sea access can only be booked for travelers with children aged 7 and over.

Zusatzhinweis

All flight transfers and most boat transfers (depending on the location of the island) only take place during the daytime. Therefore, an overnight stay in Male (near the airport) may be necessary.
**************************************
The baggage allowance for seaplanes is 20 kg + 3 kg of hand luggage per person. Excess baggage must be paid for on-site (approx. 5 USD per kg). Excess baggage is usually delivered subsequently by boat.
**************************************
In the Maldives, sinks or even bathtubs/whirlpools can be integrated openly into the general living area of the hotel room without spatial separation.
