My personal resort host Niyaaf greeted me immediately upon my arrival after traveling for almost 36h to get to my resort from Canada. Despite traveling alone I felt safe and welcome the whole time. The resort staff give a loving family vibe. Everything from the delicious food to the breathtaking house reef was amazing. Very flavorful food, good presentation, excellent service. The excursions were awesome! I got to snorkel with a whale shark and many Manta rays. We saw Dolphins on that excursion and even more on the Dolphin sunset cruise. The Water sports team was fun and knowledgeable about the reefs we went on the snorkel safari to. The dive team were an amazing group, they even let me try scuba diving for free for the first time in my life. If i had more time and didn't go snorkeling so much this trip I would have tried to get my scuba diving certification. Hopefully I can come back to get it here one day! I can't say enough about how wonderful my stay was here. To me, Sun Siyam Vilu Reef was little taste of heaven on earth! Thank you so much to all of the staff. I will come back again!

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon, and we had an amazing time! We stayed in a sunset reef villa and had amazing views of the ocean, and were able to jump straight in and start snorkeling which was absolutely incredible. The resort was beautiful, and had heaps of brilliant beaches, resting places and amazing photo opportunities. Very quiet and relaxing ambiance. In terms of included activities there’s dj nights, crab race night, Maldivian dancing night etc, a pool table, ping pong, kayaking and stand up paddle boarding. There’s also plenty of activities to do if you’re willing to pay, the scuba diving boat excursion was excellent and well worth it, the scuba staff were fantastic. There’s 3 restaurants on the island, which plenty of variety. We opted for the all inclusive package, and it’s definitely worth it if you want 3 solid meals a day with unlimited beverages. If you don’t drink much and eat less you could get away without it, as it is quite pricey. That being said the all inclusive was fantastic, and the service was incredible throughout the resort. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Special shout out to Shayanth and Poonam who were outstanding, as well as Ayman, Sududera and Didi who were fantastic. Overall would highly recommend staying at this fantastic resort, and we will hopefully go back one day!

We had an amazing trip at this resort it was jaw dropping beautiful and was everything I imagined and more was well worth the 20 hour flight! One thing I would have loved the resort to have more of is maybe some music by the pool and more theme nights but overall we loved every minute the snorkeling was out of this world! So many reefs and different fish to see absolutely incredible!!!

Talk about blissful..the resort and the staff were so beautiful. It was very beautiful to walk past staff where they acknowledged you and greeted you. The food options were limitless: even if you’re not a fan of the native food, there’s always something to eat. I enjoyed every moment of my time spent and will definitely return. My host, Reema, was absolutely amazing. She made sure to keep me abreast on activities taking place, as well as scheduling activities for my husband and I. I’m so grateful that my husband and I were able to experience paradise because that’s what it truly is.

A cheap resort - No free water served in restaurant. In-room breakfast was offered for our honeymoon incentives. But the portion is ridiculous small. We wanted to leave some bread for later, the housekeeping guy took it away. He left the bread basket outside the room. We saw some bread got eaten! The restaurant served cold food or overcooked food. They dont know how to cook seafood. It’s all dry! On the other day we ate raw meat! Loud music played until late night. It’s very annoying!

Magical island
It’s a magical place filled with white sand and blue water dreams. Truly one of the most beautiful places we have travelled to. The hotel staff are all very friendly and accommodating. The food is delicious and the drink menu is abundant. Each night they provide some sort of entertainment, and you can also go on outings and excursions. You’ll never be bored here. We would love to come back one day.

The two persons who cleaned up our rooms did really good job and they are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are always clean and smell fresh.The food is just ok, but the manager Ali in dining hall is very nice and helpful. Overally, this resort is good because there is some minor things that we still were not satisfied. We were surprised and excited to know that we got 2 free photos by a photographer during our stay at the resort, but he did not do a good job. He is unprofessional and careless photographer, it looks like he did it without responsibility. We think a good photographer should put his heart and mind on when he decides to take guests' pictures. We feels like he did a bad job because those photos are free!We don't like any photos that he took honestly.Last thing we did not like about the resort is that one afternoon when we got wet by the unexpected rain, there is two staffs that we don't remember their names standing ahead us with an umbrella. Although I know they didn't want themselves to get wet, they should have gave us the umbrella for my wife is a lady and she was cold. It was just a small thing, but it shows how much you care and love your guests.Everything we just mentioned will help the resort improve its service in order to make guests come back and recommend to their relatives and friends to visit.

Beware of your departure schedule!! We came in a group of 10, and they had the wrong flight number for our departure. I have provided the flight number not only once but 2-3times and it was during February and one week before our arrival. This resulted that 10 of us were forced to take different seaplanes (split into 2 groups). We were really unhappy about this but since the hotel insisted that they can do nothing as the seaplane is already arranged, we had to agree with the arrangement. There are 2 batches whereby the first batch reach 4 hours before departure, and the second group reach 1 hour before departure. Ridiculous isn’t it? The first group was waiting at the airport for the next batch to arrive and we were so surprised that the hotel get the flight time wrong even with the correct flight number. Flight at 11.10am but when I check with the booth at the airport it wrote 12.35pm, and this is the reason why the second group reach so late as they get the departure time wrongly. I’m so surprised that a 5 star hotel can provide such service. To be honest no matter how relaxed I was in the island, all the stresses of not managing to contact the other group of family, fear of not able to catch flight on time had literally make this holiday ended with a very stressful way. I will not recommend this hotel to anyone, there are much more options in Maldives with good price and good service that would not make intolerable mistake like this!
