Review of Komandoo Island Resort & Spa

We went to Komandoo in our honeymoon and we become complete satisfied with the resort and its staff. Upon arrival to Male airport we had to check in for the seaplane to Komandoo and then transfered to a Lounge where we had to wait until the seaplane departure. When we arrived to the Lounge we were informed that our seaplane will not leave to Komando after 4 hours and 30 minutes after our arrival which annoyed us a bit. When we arrived to the resort we explained them the situation and apologized and told us that a lack of communication between the seaplane company (TransMaldivian Airlines) and the resort was the issue. The staff was very kind with us (highliting Salim) who made all kind of efforts to compensate the waiting time prior to our arrival to Komandoo and he did it.
We had a champaing bottle in our room and it was decorated becouse we were honeymooners, the allowed us to have a late check out (1 pm), feed us when we arrived to the resort (we were hungry after hours in a plane and in the lounge) and Salim had the detail of invinting us to enjoy a special dinner in the beach.
Komandoo is a very quiet and small island, with around 60 villas, perfect for relax and to disconnect from the world. The food is tasty, the cocktails are amazing and the pool is the perfect place to see the sunset. One of the drawbacks of its location is the proximity of a local island. And I say that because you can see smoke of fire, big antenas from your room. Sometimes you can also hear people praying in the Mosque placed in the local island but it is understandable and it is not very anoying.
We stayed in a water vila and we had the opportunity to snorkel around it and to see all the sea life of the sourrinding waters. We have the all included plan and we had the sunset cruise included. I want to highlight this trip because the crew of the boat do they best to show you dolphins which is an amazing experience. The captain of the boat knows where they are and how to play with them.
In our last day the A/C broke down but the staff of the hotel was able to change it in a couple of hours. We were quite surprised about is efficiency.
Finally, we checked out, we had lunch, and we were taken by boat to Kuredu Resort (15 min. approximately) to catch the seaplane back to Male International Airport (45 min approximately).

I would like to say that our overall stay was amazing. We recommend the resort and to come back again in the future.
