I want to thank the whole staff, without any exception, for everything they gave us during our trip, especially the constant laughter, friendliness, and distinguished service. Secondly, I must do justice to the resort, despite its beauty and perfection. We did not lack anything, and even there were things that we did not expect before our arrival. The room is more beautiful than the pictures, the view is wonderful, and there are many swimming possibilities. Cleanliness was the theme of this trip. The room is cleaned twice a day, and if you ask for more, they will do it. Great spa, excellent massage, and also wonderful staff The food was delicious and varied from all over the world, and the service is more than excellent from all the buffet and service staff. As for dessert, it's more than amazing Since our arrival, we were thankful for the wonderful taste until we got to meet Chef Imad and knew that he is the pastry and bread chef. Special thanks to him. His presence was important. He helped us without us asking for a while and kept asking about us if we missed anything and if there was a problem. We felt home with him. The catering staff, cleaners, tour operators, everyone without exception is wonderful at this resort. Thanks also to the executive chef, who was also close to us and all the guests. Chef Hamdi and the staff are all wonderful. I cannot summarize everything in a few words. not only do I recommend everyone this resort, but I want to come back. Read less

A beautiful island with amazing food and accommodation. Big shout out to the dive team and water sport experts for an amazing experience in the warm waters. Chaw from the Chemical bar and Aye from Aqua orange for always making sure our glasses stay full and always smiling whenever we see them. Namal from Aqua orange for his amazing dishes that were so good my wife had seconds (then thirds and fourths). And finally Sharyaan our host, for his excellent service, making sure we enjoy our stay to the fullest and organized every activity, fulfilling any request and doing it with a smile the whole way. A true island paradise we will definitely come back for. Read less

I was fortunate enough to get to work with Sun Siyam resorts and bring my company Wildfire Arts Collective out to celebrate the New Year! We stayed at Iru Veli for a week. First, I need to say working with Jila was the best. She is so organized, prompt, kind, communicative and helpful. It is a lot of work to bring entertainment to the other side of the world and she made the entire process seamless and easy. Jila is one of my favorite people I have ever worked with. Iru Veli is very romantic. It felt very cozy - smaller than some islands, but in a good way. You get a more curated experience. The buffet was amazing and you got to eat with your toes in the sand. There was something new and delicious to try at every meal. The rooms were beautiful! We loved having our own private beach. The bathrooms were luxurious as well. The entire room set the stage for the perfect stay. The staff was incredibly helpful all week long for us since we were working, it was more of a work-cation...but we felt so supported. No matter what we needed, everyone was happy to help. I love these islands so much and am so appreciative of all the kindness and hospitality we were shown. Read less
