First time visiting The Maldives and glad we chose Sun Siyam Olhuveli. We stayed on Dream Island Grand Water Villas and were not disappointed. Everything was clean and the veranda was huge with steps down to the ocean. So convenient for snorkelling! Eka our villa attendant was lovely and couldn’t do enough for us and worked hard at keeping our villa in tip top condition. The only gripe was the Malafaay restaurant on Dream Island was only open for breakfast so had to catch the bus to the main island buffet restaurant for lunch and dinner but managed to eat at some of the other dining venues that were a little closer and didn’t spoil our enjoyment. All the staff were kind and courteous and always there to make sure our stay was an enjoyable one
