Ulasan Sun Siyam Olhuveli Maldives

Great location.Amazing views.Very kind and helpful staff.But little bit pricey.

It's really beautiful! Friends all say it's beautiful! Thank you very much for the enthusiastic service of employee Leo, who answered all kinds of questions for us! The water house is 100 square meters, more than 1,900 per night including breakfast, very cost-effective! The food is also good! Play three islands for one price! The three islands have their own merits. The main island, Pisces Island, is the largest, with a large lagoon where you can snorkel to the cliffs. We stayed on Linxi Island, where the food is better than the main island, and the scenery is also great! The most surprising thing is Romantic Island, which is super quiet. It is a new island opened in the past two years, very new and beautiful! I really should have stayed a few more nights!

Let me talk about the good things first: the island is big, the scenery is diverse, and it's not bad. The facilities of the Grand Water Villa on Linxi Island are very new. The guy who cleans the house is named Mohammed, and he is a nice person. Let's talk about the general places: the water villas on Linxi Island are all facing east, facing the Indian Ocean, and the wind and waves are relatively strong. Even at low tide, the waves are relatively strong when you go directly from the water villa to the sea, and the snorkeling environment is average. The food provided by the buffet restaurant is quite diverse, but they are all South Asian flavors and not very delicious. There are relatively few fish and corals on the entire island, and the shallow environment is average. Some beaches are okay, but the sand on most beaches is relatively coarse and prickly. The worst place: discrimination against guests who have half meals. There is a very bad Chinese housekeeper on the island. His English name is Hollis and his Chinese name is Shanshan. He said he was from Guangdong, but he didn't look like it. When he first arrived on the island, he knew that we had half meals and started to talk nonsense, saying "The customers I receive are all full meals, or all-inclusive", what's wrong with half meals? The money you get for half meals is also in US dollars, not **! He didn't reply to messages in a timely manner. This hotel does not provide free soft drinks for breakfast, half-board and full-board customers during dinner. Only water is available for free drinks for all-inclusive customers. This is not stated in advance. They just send you a reception note in English with a very inconspicuous line saying this. When I booked through Ctrip, Ctrip said that soft drinks were free. Later I learned that Ctrip is also an intermediary and booked through agoda. In the end, Ctrip handled it relatively well and reimbursed me for the soft drinks for dinner. When I had a dispute with the restaurant about this, this Chinese butler asked me to tell the waiter that I was a SAI customer, and did not tell me what SAI meant. I thought SAI was a person's name (later I learned that SAI stands for all-inclusive). After checking the records, the restaurant told me that I was not SAI, but half-board, and there were no free soft drinks. I don't know what this Chinese butler meant by doing this. Don't tell me that she was confused. There are several Chinese butlers on the island. How many Chinese families can she personally receive at a time? In short, I think Xiaohei despises me, as if I want to cheat them of drinks. For half-board guests, the water villas arranged by this hotel are neither facing east nor west, and there are houses on the north and south blocking the view, and they are very far from the bridge connecting the water villas to the island. Full of discrimination. Before leaving, they added 40 dollars to the bill. Fortunately, I checked it carefully and they deleted it reluctantly. This is not the first time I have come to Maldives. The overall feeling of this island is not satisfactory. Next time I come to Maldives, I will not come to this island. I may not even book any island of SUN SIYAM Group again.

The water house is first-rate, don't go for the all-inclusive package, you can save a lot of money, the $65 buffet at night is average

It's really cheap for a trip to the Maldives. I stayed at a water cottage, and the view was nice and the room was clean. I went for the half board plan, but the food was also good enough for this price. Bad points The water is very clean, but perhaps due to poor development, the corals are dying. The cleaning staff spilled water and their bags were submerged in water, but no reports were made. There are staff members who look like they are bothering you. It might be tough if you can't speak English. However, at this price, it is a very cost-effective resort!

Beautiful scenery, night sky, warm sea water It is a place where you can enjoy ample rest. The meal felt a bit salty Other than that, everything was satisfactory.

Although it was opened in 1998, the entire hotel facilities are very new and very good.

The swimming pool sand house is built on a new island. All facilities are very new. The room area is larger than the water house. The beach and the sea are right outside the door. There is an open-air shower and the privacy is very good. Special praise to the housekeeper Cora, who coordinated many problems after busy work.

The water house with a swimming pool is in Xindao, and the facilities inside are relatively new, but it is some distance from the hotel reception, and you need to take a shuttle bus. On the last night, the hotel helped arrange the farewell, which was very heartwarming.

full facilities Hygiene: good Environment: good Service: good

We stayed in the hotel with the room with the swimming pool, this one was very good but the service leaves something to be desired. The hotel contains 3 islands, it is not possible to eat on another island than ours compared to the buffet and the prices of the restaurants are overpriced. When it comes to activities, nothing is free, plan a big activity budget (scuba diving at $350 per person, for example), on the positive side, you will find 4 swimming pools, 2 of which are adults only. As for our "referent" he was totally absent and useless we had to go to the reception to ask for everything and anything like for Check out for example. However the rest of the staff was very pleasant throughout the stay and really took care of us. It's a little corner of paradise in which we were able to see magnificent baby sharks and a fish aquarium but if we had to come back it wouldn't be here. (Breakfast in the pool to avoid)

Amazing holiday, lovely resort, would definitely recommend. We loved the water villa for the first part of our stay and the beach villa for the second. The gym on dream island was very well equipped, we were very impressed. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. Rushadul cleaned our room twice a day and couldn’t do more for us. Thank you

Everything is perfect. Island is very amaizing. Staff is very polite, service very good. Food, Friuts, Vegetables so fresh everything. I come back again on this island Olhuvely. My personal thank Hokul, Mohamed, Chinta, Chippe. Thank you very much guys.

**Review of Sun Siyam Olhuveli – A Mixed Experience with Memorable Highlights** My wife and I recently spent three nights at Sun Siyam Olhuveli, and overall, it was a stay with both memorable moments and a few hiccups. Here’s a detailed review of our experience: **The Good:** 1. **Food & Dining:** The buffet at Malafaiy Restaurant was quite good, with a wide spread for both half-board breakfast and dinner. The variety of dishes catered to different tastes, and we enjoyed the quality of the food. However, we did notice that the service staff at Malafaiy seemed less approachable towards us (a Chinese couple from Singapore) compared to European guests. This gave us the impression that they were less willing to engage with us, which was a bit disappointing. 2. **Snorkeling at Home Reef:** One of the highlights of our stay was snorkeling at Home Reef. The underwater world was vibrant, and we saw a lot of colorful fish. It was an incredible experience and a must-do for anyone visiting the resort. 3. **Breathtaking Views:** The views of the sunset and sunrise were absolutely exceptional. Waking up to the serene sunrise and ending the day with a stunning sunset made our stay truly magical. The natural beauty of the island is unparalleled. 4. **Exceptional Hospitality by Raail:** A special shoutout to Raail, who provided exceptional hospitality during our stay. He was always prompt in addressing our queries and went out of his way to ensure we had a comfortable experience. His professionalism and warmth stood out, and we truly appreciated his efforts. **The Not-So-Good:** 1. **Administrative Lapses:** There were a few administrative issues that dampened our experience. Despite confirming beforehand that we could stay in the same room throughout our stay, we were asked to relocate on our second night. This was eventually resolved without the need for us to move through a few calls Additionally, I was charged for an extra drink that we did not consume. I would recommend others to double-check their bills before settling payments if charging to the room. It’s a small step that can save you from unnecessary charges. 2. **Miscommunication at Sunset Restaurant:** Another incident involved the Sunset Restaurant. We were told that booking wasn’t necessary, but when we arrived, we were refused entry because we hadn’t made a reservation. This miscommunication was frustrating and could have been handled better. **Final Thoughts:** Sun Siyam Olhuveli is a beautiful resort with stunning views, great snorkeling opportunities, and delicious food. However, there were some service and administrative issues that could be improved. Despite these, we had a memorable stay, thanks in large part to Raail’s exceptional hospitality. With a bit more attention to detail and consistency in service, this resort could truly be outstanding. **Recommendations:** - Double-check your room arrangements and bills to avoid any surprises. -
