Nice view and location if you stay at sunset pool water banglow. Spacious, room was very clean eventhough pool needs more cleaning and aircond servicing (water dripping). Some staff are friendly and helpful, thanks to Firdaus for keeping the room clean and restaurant staff Sagar, Azizah and Chaminda. Some staff were racist toward non-white with double standard services. Our host, he tried his best which requires improvement. Activities booking were a hassle for us due to booking pax limit eventhough resort was 98% occupied (?). Resort is not Muslims friendly, served pork and alcohol openly at restaurant. Not mobility friendly resort, be prepared to walk everywhere, 200-300m one way to restaurants, 300-500m one way to water activities centre, bar and reception. No buggy service (but you can repeatedly call for favor from your host and receptionist everyday and be prepared to wait around 15min- 1 hr) and no bicycle. Ongoing tug and war with host and reception in resolving guests' needs and issues. Receptionist/main reservation need to improve and provide clear communication instead of repeating same reply contents

This is an unforgettable trip. Small and beautiful island, good snorkeling conditions, lots of fish. The beach is also very fine, with a small tail, flour-level beach. The staff are very warm and friendly, and greet everyone they see, especially my butler Nafiz, who is very professional, considerate and thoughtful, and gave us a great experience. Looking forward to having the opportunity to go again.

This time we stayed in a water villa and a sand villa respectively. The hardware conditions of the water villa are better than those of the sand villa, but the sand villa is better for snorkeling, as you can go directly to the No. 1 snorkeling spot; the sea view of the water villa is more beautiful.

The sand house is quiet and refreshing, You can make an appointment at the restaurant and eat slowly, There are many activities in the water center, The SPA massage is super refreshing. The Chinese butler Boni is here, Eat well, play well, and rest well, If you have any questions, find Boni, You can have a worry-free vacation! P.S. Anis, Febi, and Dwi in the SPA center gave us an authentic massage experience.

Very good, top resort hotel. Don't book a house on the coral island, book one on the beach. The beach is right outside the house, and you can swim directly. Don't book an all-in. There are three restaurants. Just go to the restaurant. A meal costs about 60-70. The buffet costs 120, which is not cost-effective.

Boni, the housekeeper at noon, was great, patient and meticulous! We also solved the problem of the seaplane company overcharging us in time. The hotel also decorated the birthday and sent free red wine and cake, thank you! The room was cleaned and the water bar was replenished twice a day. The overall hygiene service was good. The room was decorated on the last day of departure, and the staff greeted us warmly!

Perfect vacation, although there were some minor incidents, but the Chinese housekeeper Boni helped us solve them smoothly, thank you very much. The beach on the island is very fine, snorkeling is excellent, there is a Chinese snorkeling instructor solo is very interesting, my mother said he looks like Xiao Ni, took him out to sea to see the manta, the experience was very good. Boni can solve things on the island immediately, especially worry-free service is very attentive and satisfactory, compared to Bora Bora where I have been before, I feel that coming here is economical and rewarding, the cost performance is too high, I will come again next time.

The room was very clean and I didn't find anything dirty on the bedding. The room was big. The beach was very white but not very fine. There were corals on the beach so you can't walk barefoot otherwise you'll get hurt. The island is not big and is perfect for a walk after dinner. Males come here by seaplane for 40-45 minutes, and then you need to connect to the hotel's boat transportation after arriving at the landing point next to the hotel. It was a little troublesome but the experience was good. The buffet restaurant is OK, don't use Michelin's mouth to test and compare. This is a parent-child hotel.

It was our 1st time on Maldives and it was amazing. I have never seen such beautiful nature, the ocean is the best in the world, it’s so clean and blue, you can’t believe that it’s real. Sunsets are so amazing and unreal. After vacation on Maldives I feel recharged and full of energy. It’s a best place on our planet. And of course our hotel was perfect. We would like to say thank you to the staff of Sun Siyam Vilu Reef and our personal host Niyaaf. You made our vacation seamless and perfect. Level of service was very high , meeting at the airport and transferring to the beautiful lounge at TMA airport , check in and staying at the hotel was perfect. And would like to say thank you to Niyaaf for upgrading our villa for free. The island is so nice and green, sandy beaches are so nice and clean. We liked so much our villa 122, it was placed on island in the surrounding of beautiful trees with a lot of shadow, with private garden and access to the beach. I would recommend villa on the island , not on the reef, as there is no shadows there. We stayed at this place for 8 days with baby 2 yo. This hotel is perfect for kids. Travel time from airport Male to Sun Siyam vilu reef is 40 minutes by plane , and it worth to take a plane and spend 40 minutes flying and watching beautiful islands on your way. We definitely will come back. We liked this place so much. It feels like heaven on earth , like virtual reality , it’s can’t be real , but it’s real

The best price/quality ratio ! Have been to 8 resorts in Maldives Liked : Almost everything Staff is perfect , especially Amith at the main bar Terrace near reception bar is the best place I’ve ever been in Maldives. The best open-air cinema on the planet Just few advices after visits of 8 another resorts in Maldives: 1. Poor ice cream 2. They need to hire one man who will make fresh juices and fresh fruit plate by himself. 3. Please, put a basket to clean legs off the sand also at the front of the villa )
