Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma

I would like to thank the reviewer for taking the time to provide this feedback and also for the many kind and complimentary comments made. We have received several emails inquiring about the rodent issue on the island as a result of this review. My thanks for this, the opportunity of responding to these concerns and explaining our position is very much appreciated. While the resort was under construction the rodent population was a significant issue. Construction housing and building rubble made for a good habitat for the animals. As soon as the building contractors began to leave the island we embarked on a programme to rid Kandooma of the pests. The efforts have been very effective and did dramatically reduce the numbers. At the time this review was published however it would have been less than candid of me to declare that they would not have been noticed. While it is unlikely that, at this stage, we are completely free of the rodents, I am able to honestly report that I have not seen any for the last two weeks. Our programme will continue unabated and in earnest to ensure that there is no resurgence of the population. We can assure current and future guests that the likely hood of coming across a rat is now minimal and diminishing with every day. I do hope this has gone some way to reassuring readers about Kandooma. Should there be any query on this or any other matter then they are most welcome to contact me directly at andrew.drummond@kandooma-maldives .com or my colleague Elizabeth Dass at elizabeth.dass@kandooma-maldives.com.
