Summer Island Maldives

I have a few complaints. My flip-flops were stolen, likely by a staff member on the boat, while I was out diving at the pier. The boat fare was also very expensive, with some people paying as much as USD 195 round trip. There were quite a few mosquitoes, but I was very happy with the variety of food.

Our stay at the overwater villa was absolutely perfect. The views from the villa were incredible; stepping out, we were greeted by the clear blue sea, and we could easily spot coral and marine life just below. The island facilities were excellent, and the overall environment was tranquil and beautiful. The staff were friendly and their service was meticulous and attentive. This resort is highly recommended for families with children, and we had an unforgettable and relaxing island getaway.

The hotel itself is beautifully designed and located in a dreamlike setting. However, in certain areas, the resort occasionally shows its age, suggesting potential for minor modernizations here and there. We stayed in a water villa, which was very well-equipped and exceptionally comfortable. A particular highlight was the impressive variety of fish that could be observed right outside – a true standout feature. Some beach sections were less visually appealing, for example, due to visible drainage pipes. This, however, did not affect the water villa area. With a bit more attention to detail, these areas could certainly be made more harmonious. Cleanliness throughout the resort was exemplary. Fresh beach towels were always available, and our room was even cleaned twice a day – which we greatly appreciated. Most of the staff were exceptionally polite and eager to make our stay pleasant. Occasionally, some individuals seemed a bit reserved or less engaged, but this was balanced out by the friendliness and professionalism of the other staff members. Overall, we felt that efforts were made for our well-being. During meals, drinks were offered very attentively. At times, we were asked multiple times if we wanted to order wine, cocktails, or other beverages. Since we felt the prices were on the higher side, we consciously declined. A slightly less insistent approach would have been more comfortable for us. At the bar in the evening, we would have liked a more atmospheric ambiance. It was quite dark in places, and subtle lighting of the beach section or, for example, a fire pit, could have added extra warmth and harmony to the atmosphere. Overall, we still enjoyed our stay and thank you for the relaxing time. With a few small adjustments, we believe the experience could be further enhanced.

The hotel exceeded all expectations. It's an incredibly beautiful, lush, and authentic island, without feeling overly polished or brand new. It felt like being on a deserted island, yet everything was clean, and details like lighting were perfectly highlighted. The nature felt untouched. The ocean was stunningly beautiful. The turquoise water stretched for dozens of meters from the shore (but remember to bring water shoes!). The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. You didn't even have to ask for anything; they proactively offered everything. Towels were changed twice a day, and they constantly checked if we needed anything like water or coffee. The service was so good that you often don't find this level of attentiveness even in much higher-category hotels. Breakfasts were fantastic, with everything you could need: pastries, hash browns, made-to-order omelets, eggs, waffles, and pancakes. There was always a wide selection of fruits – watermelon, papaya, two types of melon, pineapple, passion fruit, bananas, and oranges. Breakfast was truly complete. Dinners were a little less impressive, but that's just my personal preference; I'm not a big fan of everything being in sauces. However, I could always find something to eat. It was my friend's birthday, and at dinner, we were given a specially decorated table, the entire staff congratulated him, and there was a cake with candles. While we were enjoying dinner, our room was decorated with birthday greetings. I was impressed by how well thought out and coordinated their actions were. We also received a free upgrade to a water villa. We spent 4 days in a beach bungalow, room 301, and then 3 days in a water villa, room 506. There's a separate restaurant for the villas, which we were also able to visit and did. That was a very pleasant bonus. Thank you. Our vacation was unforgettable, and we will definitely return. This is simply an incredible hotel for the price.

Excellent hotel on a small island. The staff are optimistic and always ready to help. The vast majority of rooms have sea access. The hotel itself isn't premium, and the prices are moderate. The variety and quality of the dishes were a pleasant surprise. It's a 45-50 minute boat ride.
