My stay at Sun Siyam Iru Veli was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The butler service was outstanding — Naazish was amazing, incredibly attentive and always quick to help. His service made my stay so much easier and truly special. The dining experience was excellent. The food was fresh, delicious, and offered a great variety, and the service at the restaurants was lovely. Honestly, there is nothing I would change. I joined both snorkeling and the dolphin cruise, and they were amazing experiences. The water was crystal clear with so much marine life, and we were lucky to see many dolphins. Everything was very well organized and enjoyable. Overall, the service at the resort was exceptional. Every staff member was friendly, welcoming, and went out of their way to help. The hospitality here is truly fantastic. One of the most memorable moments of my trip was the private beach sunset dinner arranged by my butler. It was absolutely unforgettable — beautiful setting, delicious food, and breathtaking views. I would 100% recommend Sun Siyam Iru Veli to family and friends. Everything was perfect, and I loved every minute of my stay. I can’t wait to come back again! Read less

Stayed in a very spacious overwater villa (618) which was kept very clean and tidy by Manoj twice a day. Nothing was too much trouble. He was brilliant. Mini bar was stocked with beer, wine soft drinks etc. We were met from the seaplane by our Ambassador Shaff who had made bookings in advance for trips and restaurants which can be changed if need be. However Shaff had to leave the island and we had a new Ambassador Rilwan who was fabulous. Rearranged some trips for us and always checking to make sure we were happy with everything. The staff in the Chemistry Bar soon remembered what drinks we liked. Always service with a smile. We ate mostly in the Adult area of the buffet restaurant. Kershall served our table on most occasions and always very polite and with a smile. We had lunch quite a lot in the Grouper Grill which is À la carte. Service and food very good. We were only able get a sun lounger once around the adult pool which was disappointing. Personally I do not like cabanas and could probably get a few more loungers instead. Al in all we had a lovely holiday. Read less
