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!

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!

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.

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)

This was our 3rd visit to the Maldives and by far the best. Previously we had been to Meeru and Kihaa but decided upon Sun Siyam Olhuveli this year. Within half an hour of landing at Male airport we were on our way to Sun Siyam. As soon as we got to the island we had a wonderful welcome. We were greeted by our host Looth. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best holiday from the minute we meet, to checking out after 2 weeks. If we needed anything he sorted it for us, for example I asked to look at a water villa/new villa for a potential stay in the future and he came and picked us up from our villa and took time to show us round 2. The food is delicious and made to such a high standard. We mainly ate at the sunset restaurant but we also visited Malaafaiy restaurant and Island Pizza. In the Sunset restaurant there was so much choice, my girls loved the doughnut wall at breakfast. My youngest also visited Maaz a lot for ice cream and by 4th day he didn’t even need to ask her order. All the staff in the sunset restaurant were fabulous and my coffees were always waiting for me at breakfast. Lunch and dinner were also excellent. The menu changed weekly and the cooking stations were great. Also it never seemed overly busy, we never had to queue for any areas and all areas were immaculately clean and always available. As we were AI, we made use of the water sport centre and most days we either went kayaking, paddle boarding or on the pedalo. We also had a cruise with our package, we chose the sunset and dolphin cruise. Unfortunately we didn’t see any dolphins but the staff tried their best to find them. Most nights we went up to the dive centre to see the ocean come alive, at night they put the lights on to attract the fish ect. We were lucky enough to see a mantra ray which was an amazing experience. In the day we also saw Olivia, the resident turtle. While snorkelling on the house reef we saw so much life under the water, rays, sharks, angel fish, clown fish, green turtle and so much more. Myself and my daughter used the snorkels from the dive centre during our stay and they were just fab. At night we also had a few drinks at the Lagoon Bar. The service was fantastic and the manager, Duvinda made our trip extra special. My eldest was desperate to see a mantra ray and he rang security down at the dive centre to see if any had been spotted. He always made sure we had drinks, chatted to us about our day and he talked us through all the different parts of the island. The island itself is beautiful and looks like it has been photoshopped to look so good. I would just look out at the ocean and enjoy the view. It’s so clean and tidy, the staff work tirelessly to maintain the immaculate look of the island and everyone is so friendly. We did have a Grand beach Villa with pool but we did use both pools on Olhuveli and Dream island. The sunrise bar pool was larger for our girls but on dream island snacks were available after 3pm so we vis

For the third time we came back to Olhuveli to enjoy 2 weeks of vacations. First staying at a Grand Water Villa with nice access to the Lagoon to swim in the morning. For the last days we moved to a Grand Beach Suite with Pool, which is the newest category and brought us a wonderful experience of a Luxury and very comfortable room category. Definitely, when we will come back, we will book this category. As a little negative points we have to mention the "day" tourists from other islands, which have been annoying and disturbing, as well as the variety of the food was not as good as before. As a very positive feedback we can confirm the hospitality, friendliness and support of the staff, starting with Reception, House Keeping and our waiter in the Restaurant. Five Star Plus. Outstanding is still the diving center, where we enjoyed again all the dives, talks and travels on the boat. Special thanks to Adam and Token, and the rest of the team. Hope seeing you soon.

One thing that needs to be flagged up is the communication of the FO staffs, I was told by a male receptionist the day before I checked out that someone would be there at 5am the next day to help me with my luggage and that someone would be there to pick me and my child up at 5.30am to go to the front desk to check out. The next morning my child and I waited but no one came to pick us up, I called the front desk to confirm but was told by a female staff that I would have to by myself to the station and the shuttle bus would only be waiting for me there. I was very disappointed and with my child to the station on the dark road which is below have very high sea water, when I arrived at the station with my child at 5.36am there was no bus. I was very helpless and my ferry boat time was 6am. I waited until 5.50pm when one of the baggage handlers got me in touch with someone to pick me and my child up. Secondly, the chef who fried the eggs in the restaurant, it was obvious that he treated the customers according to the colour of their skin, when he treated the Chinese he looked very bad, but when he treated the gold color hairs customers it was a different kind of pleasant face, is it because the Chinese pay less money? It's not all negative, the staff in the housekeepering department were very kind and attentive to my room, which is commendable.
