Island weddings. 3. Many service staff can speak Chinese. Disadvantages: 1. The island feels hot. 2. There are almost no fish in the water house, and the sand on the beach is hard and coarse. 3. The meal standard is AI, and the 3-course meal in the reservation restaurant can only be selected as salad or soup. After eating, you can't go to the main restaurant to get fruit. I don't understand.

We travelled to the Sun Syiam Iru Veli in the shoulder season when winds can be stronger and rain can be expected, but neither effected the enjoyment of our stay. We had an Ocean Suite with a pool, which was located next to the house reef. We planned to snorkel the reef, but we could only do this on a few days as the wind waves were too large. However, the resort had tours that took guests to nearby reefs that were sheltered and provided excellent snorkelling. The food at all restaurants was excellent, and the buffet at Aqua Orange was extensive, and the menu delightfully varied. We would like to thank Shakeeb, our ambassador, and the staff in the adults only section of Aqua Orange and the adults only Freshwater bar, as well as the housekeeping staff for Suite 621 for their efforts contributed to the enjoyment of our stay.

We had the best time staying at Sun Siyam Iru Veli, from landing in Male we were looked after by the amazing team. The sea plane process was very easy, and even had some time in the exclusive Sun Siyam airport lounge that was filled with great food and beverages. Once landed in the Maldives at the resort, the check in process was super quick and we were greeted by our amazing ambassador Rilwan. We had some lunch and then were guided to our ocean villa. We stayed in the Dolphin Ocean Suites and was by far the best villa we have ever stayed in. Super clean, very comfy bed, a beautiful view of the reef and ocean, and very private. As we were there for our honeymoon we had a beautiful message made from botanicals on our bed, as well as a honeymoon welcome cake. This wasn’t the only wonderful personal touch! The snorkelling at the resort is like no other, we saw baby sharks, bigger sharks (all friendly!), two turtles, so many colourful fish and even a dolphin from our ocean villa! During our time here we ate at all of the restaurants, Roma had beautiful seafood and Italian, Grouper Grill had lovely seafood and meat, and the buffet was filled with a variety of choices and changed each evening to a different theme. We also did a couple of excursions such as the Guided Snorkelling, and Whale Shark Excursion which were incredible as we saw turtles, sharks, manta rays and many more sea animals! The local island trip was also great! We also had a couples massage at the spa which was so relaxing. We did the Cast Away excursion, which was so much fun and we had our own private island for the morning. We had a cool box full of beverages and champagne, as well as two comfortable sun beds, lunch and a picnic basket. We had everything we could need and did some amazing snorkelling! Lastly, we also did the lucky dolphin sunset cruise which was beautiful as we saw many dolphins! A couple of people at Sun Siyam Iru Veli made our stay unforgettable: - Lasindu for taking extra care when cleaning our room, ensuring we had fresh towels, bedding and a fully stocked mini fridge at all times! He even surprised us with two bubble baths during our stay which was lovely. - Mahesh for always greeting us on a morning at breakfast and ensuring we always had an English breakfast tea and flat white coffee! - Chaw and Sharaf for ensuring we always had drinks at Chemistry Bar, both were so friendly and attentive! - Viraj who my husband is still claiming is “his hero”. He’d always greet us and have wonderful conversation as well perfect cocktails. - Shristi we met when looking at turtles, she was so friendly and gave us lots of snorkelling tips about the house reefs. - Rilwan for being our ambassador and always available if we needed any assistance or requests. From the moment we landed to leaving on our last day we was always there when we needed him, he is so friendly, caring, and funny, our genie! On our last night we had a private beach dinner, surrounded by beautiful lights and sat within a love heart in the sand. It was the most perfect way to end our honeymoon. The team at Sun Siyam Iru Veli are so special, they made our honeymoon unforgettable. We will see them soon when we one day return! 🫶 - Villa 706, Abigail & Tom x Read less

Great service from Jessica. The Room was always cleaned and we were never ever worried about our valueables. She always did a thorough job. She would clean twice a day and we never felt disturbed. Water was always refilled as well as the minibar.
