Before you book
Are meal plans available at Kandima?
The brochure doesn't specify meal-plan structures such as bed & breakfast, half board or all-inclusive. With ten dining options and a Deli boutique orderable through the resort's own app, check current plan options and inclusions directly with Kandima or your consultant.
How many restaurants are there, and what's the mix?
Kandima's brochure describes ten dining options island-wide. Six are named restaurants — Flavour Zest (buffet), Azure (Mediterranean), Smoked (grill), Sea Dragon (Far East, live-tank seafood), Deli (boutique snacks) and Aroma Café (lakeside coffee and crêpes) — plus Destination Dining's private beach BBQs and beachfront dinners, and three separate bars.
