This a review specifically about Kids club at Sun Siyam Iru Veli, and the two ladies, Shaf and Mery, who did an amazing job entertaining our daughters (4 and 7). Our girls warmed to Shaf and Mery within minutes, and had a really great time playing there. After their first visit, they wanted to go back every day - it was the best part of the holiday for them! I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending to any other children looking for fun. Thank you again Shaf and Mery, we’ve been home for two weeks, and our daughters are still talking about it! Read less

Just wow! Our sixth trip to the Maldives and the best. The island is beautiful, small enough to still be personal and large enough to offer excellent dining options. We stayed in a ‘standard’ beach villa with pool (sunrise side of the island) which was just perfect for the two of us, the small pool is idyllic for a quick dip when too hot and the beach and Indian Ocean are a matter of metres away. Food in the general restaurant was always very good and the two al a carte restaurants are excellent (Groupa much better than Roma though). What makes this resort special however is the service which is top class, not ‘in your face’ rather always there with a smile to serve your every need. Special thanks have to go to: Shakeeb our superb ambassador, Bakoo and Anoof from the water sports centre and the young chap from Nepal in the Fresh Water bar (sorry I can’t remember your name) who was just ace every single night serving our cocktails! Tip: if you are able, try the full day Nurse Sharks snorkelling trip - it’s a once in a lifetime experience. Read less
