Exceptional Experience! Sun Siyam Iru Veli exceeded every expectation! The warm welcome, seamless check-in, and breathtaking views set the tone for an unforgettable stay. A secluded slice of paradise with powdery white sand, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and stunning sunsets and sunrises. The beachfront villas offered us ultimate luxury, surrounded by pure beauty. Our beach villa was a dream—spacious, elegantly designed, and featuring a private pool with direct ocean access. The bed was comfortable, and waking up to panoramic sea views was pure magic, we enjoyed the sunrise a few times which was simply bliss. Meals were a culinary delight! From fresh seafood, thanks go to Ammaday, Kumar, Shaa who all added to our wonderful experience, sorry to anyone I have forgotten but thanks go to all the teams at Roma, Grouper and Aqua, also the international delicacies like Teppanyaki (which we especially enjoyed!) Special thank you to Donnie and his wonderful colleague for the two wonderful nights we enjoyed at Teppanyaki! Thank you to Roshan the executive chef who took care of us and thanks to Faya who was so kind and friendly and oversaw the food and beverage aspect of our stay. The staff went above and beyond, making us feel like royalty. Every detail was attended to with warmth and professionalism. Personalised touches, like a surprise displays setup in our bedroom, made our stay extra special. Thank you especially to Chinti and Mizen who made sure our room was attended to frequently and was immaculate. Special thanks go to Ammu who was our dedicated Ambassador and made sure we had literally everything we needed, he was at the end of the phone and was reachable at any hour, Ammu was amazing. Snorkeling with vibrant marine life, was magical, my husband saw so many sharks, rays and super colourful fish!!. The water sports and private excursions were well-organised and thrilling. Special thanks to Ammaday and team who were private dice instructors and took care of my husband on his three dives that he did.. he enjoyed it immensely, he saw black tip sharks, napoleon fish, rays, box fish etc. it was phenomenal!!! Overall Experience - If you’re looking for the perfect Maldives escape, this resort is pure perfection. Can’t wait to return and in fact we already have flights booked!!! Would highly recommend to anyone seeking luxury, tranquility, and truly excellent customer service! Special thanks to Mastouq the GM for catering to our needs and giving us a truly magnificent experience! Read less
