I would like to leave a positive review for some employees in particular at Sun Siyam Iru Veli resort in the Maldives. The first is a staff member in the kitchen of the Aqua Orange restaurant (NAMAL), who is always extremely attentive, happy, and kind. He has been working at the resort for 5 years and is an essential part of the team. He deserves to be valued and even promoted. The second is (JAHIDUL), who is responsible for cleaning the rooms. He stood out for his helpfulness and kindness. He would always check if we needed anything, always with a smile on his face. He is a person with a pure heart and truly deserves recognition. I would also like to thank the entire team at the Diving Center, especially Sappe and the others divers, for being so attentive during our stay. Overall, our experience was wonderful. The only issue was that, two days before the end of our stay, the staff member who was looking after us, Sappe from the head office, left the resort and informed us that someone would take over for him. Unfortunately, that person never showed up. Other than that, we have no complaints: everyone was very polite, attentive, and everything worked perfectly. Food was great, activities and ammenities as well, and this place is beautiful. ALEX AND THIAGO Read less

We have been in Iru Veli for a week. A well earned family vacation after many years. Of course Maldives... A dream destination. Nothing to add about the beautiful beaches, they truly are beautiful. What I think made the difference for us was the stuff. We have been pampered so much and everyone was helpful. Particularly Adam from the reception, always attentive and always with a smile. Nazim and JJ at the Aqua Orange have been outstanding the whole week! Many thanks to Sappe and Alex at the diving center as well. We had a fun excursion looking for whale sharks and they made sure to look after us and help us enjoy. Thank you all, such an amazing week we will bring in our memories forever. Read less

We really appreciate with MITHU’s excellent support! He suggested me “honeymoon surprise”, and my wife really enjoyed it. Additionally, he noticed that we drink a lot of water and with his hospitality provided us with more water for our comfort! Naufal also supported us well. He book the activities quickly.
