South Palm Resort Maldives

Everything was amazing This our third time to visit Maldives and best one of them

在馬爾代夫的最南部，需要乘坐馬爾代夫的國內航線前往，並在抵達後轉乘酒店的快艇到渡假島。 酒店的接機送機還是非常不錯的，還贈送了國內出發的機場貴賓室。 不知道為什麼原因，這裡的海水很多都是海藻，下水出來後一定要沖洗乾淨。 房間一定要預訂海邊房型，價格都一樣，有日落房間還有其他許多選擇，但一定要選擇海灘房，其他的房型有許多被樹木徹底的遮擋，或、還裡面都是石頭，還特別的水淺。

Lovely idyllic place. Staff so friendly and helpful especially Arif in the bar, Soilx our waiter, Billal for housekeeping and Jony for organising our trips. Stayed in a beach villa with perfect views. Would definitely recommend all of the trips. Snorkelling was especially good. Perfect place. Lots of choice in the restaurant and evening entertainment was good. All in all a great holiday.

The best of recommendations to South Palm Resort. It’s truly a paradise on earth and we are so grateful to have had the greatest of pleasure spending time on these soft sandy beaches under the swaying palmtrees. The lovely pool area, close to the bar, with a drink in our hands. The staff are absolutely the best, smiling, always helpful with the perfect timing and touch. We loved our beachhouse so mutch that we turned down the offer of upgrading to water villa.

Having just returned from a 10 night stay with my wife I will give my honest opinion of this resort. We arrived later than we expected due to a five hour wait for the domestic flight from Male to Gan, not the resorts issue and whilst waiting at Male we did get complimentary use of the lounge. For smokers, there is a smoking area just outside, over the road and to the right of the domestic area of the airport. We were met by hotel staff at the jetty, shown to reception where were given cold flannels and a cold drink whilst they gave us all of the resort information. The beach villa we were in was a great location, on the beach and halfway between the buffet restaurant and the bar. The areas for improvement: The resort could do with some TLC and some money spending on it. Only one bar was open during our stay which limited us. Food at all meal times was very “samey” with a lot of emphasise on either fish or curry. Also the hot trays / covered food was not hot at all. However we were always able to find something to eat. There are 3 / 4 cook to order stations within the restaurant which is what we tended to use. The mini bar in the room had over inflated prices which could do with reviewing. There was no food available, snack wise, in between the set restaurant meal times which would have been a nice touch. The room itself was comfortable and clean but once again needed a little bit of TLC and perhaps instructions on the air-con unit (I googled it to get it working as efficiently as I could). Having said all of the above the plus points of this resort are as follows: Staff are exemplary in the manner they deal with guests, always a smile and a friendly word. Housekeeping, we had Billal come to the room twice daily to ensure everything was clean, fresh bathroom towels and topped up toiletries. beach towels were also changed by housekeeping, a nice touch so no swapping out your beach towels at certain times of the day at towel stations. We celebrated our wedding anniversary whilst there and Billal did an excellent job making our room up with flowers, petals and towel art as a surprise that we had when we went back to our room. The island itself is stunning, totally relaxing. We were able to snorkel every day which we did. Something to be mindful of when returning home, the internal flight from Gan to Male was 05:20 so we had to be in reception for 2:30am to get the speed boat transfer to Gan. All in all, a good resort with a few bits of room for improvement. Both me and my wife agree that despite that, this is still the best holiday we have ever had and would return. Tip: take beach shoes as it can be a bit gravelly in places.

Spent 10 days there recently with my big family—my wife, our daughters (5 and 13 y.o.), our 6-month-old twins, and myself. As you can imagine, traveling with such a crew is quite a challenge, so there are a few key things worth mentioning. The first thing that stands out is the staff’s attitude toward guests. They genuinely try to be attentive and understand your needs. I want to give a special shout-out to Deepika and Shina, who went above and beyond to assist us many times, making our vacation incredibly comfortable. Thanks to their outstanding efforts, we were actually able to relax—something that’s no small feat when traveling with so many little ones! The sea around the island is absolutely breathtaking. We spotted many kinds of fish right near the beach. You can snorkel just a couple of meters from your villa and come across a big sea turtle, a baby shark, and schools of exotic fish like the blue platax. If I had to nitpick, the only downside would be the lack of information about certain excursions included in the all-inclusive package. For example, trips to a neighboring island and the stingray beach were available, but we only found out about them from other guests towards the end of our stay. Other than that, everything was great!
