We had an amazing stay at the property & could fault it not it one bit until checkout! The snorkeling is incredible aswell as staff & managers, we loved it here

CHECK YOUR TOTAL BILL UPON CHECKOUT. We noticed a mistake & asked to see individual bill of the restraunt where you sign down the bottom & the staff member showed me a clearly photoshopped receipt as pictured. When I said I would like to see a real photo of the receipt & asked to speak to a manager I was told that it would be sorted out and they had made an error….. clearly. An error on a bill is 100% normal to happen & would not have made any fuss however it was quite shocking to be shown a clearly photoshopped photo of the bill where they have cropped the signature but failed to crop the name correctly leaving the top half of it missing attempting to make it look like we signed it.

My wife and I went to Sun Siyam Olhuveli for our honeymoon...To say that our whole experience was amazing and unforgettable is an understatement...From the moment we stepped foot on the Island we were extremely impressed...The resort itself is absolutely amazing, like paradise...There are 3 islands which are all connected and all have several bars and restaurants which are all beautiful...The staff are extremely helpful and will attend to your every need..The front of house manager Yoosuf Hasnain went above and beyond the call of duty..He is extremely polite and helpful and really made us feel special...My wife and I vape and we quickly ran out of our disposable vapes and they didn't sell them on the Island...I spoke with Hasnain and he made arrangements for vapes to be brought from the main island and delivered them to our room...He met with us everyday to ask how our stay was and if we needed anything...He is really professional and the service there was really amazing....Also like to mention 2 other staff members who were really polite and also attended to our needs anytime we were out in some of the restaurants and bars...Sunita and Ariska, both beautiful and extremely professionally ladies who knew how to make us feel welcome...We loved everything about the resort, from the cleanliness of the whole island and the extremely professional service....We would highly recommend anyone travelling to the maldives to choose this resort, no need to look any further because you will not be disappointed...Thank you sooooo much to Hasnain, Ariska, Sunita and the rest of the staff that we interacted with , you made our stay an unforgettable experience....The food amazing, the excursions were unbelievable...We got to swim with sharks 🦈, what an experience...We also got to snorkel on one of the garden reefs with turtles and we also went out on an evening sunset dolphin 🐬 cruise to watch spinner dolphins.....

We liked everything, nothing to dislike

This is our second time in Maldives, first time was pre-covid and it was a couple vacation and at fancy expensive luxury Como hotel. Which was amazing but obviously it costs a fortune. This time round we were going as a family with 4 and 5 year old kids. We are Ru / French couple. Main criteria’s were - reasonable priced (given maldives overall overpriced but something that is acceptable), we dont need to take a plane (boat was preffered and ideally not more than 45-1 hour travel time). Also i wanted the hotel / island to have its own reef, kids club and a bit of space so not a tiny island but where we can do a little more as we stayed a week there. From that perspective this hotel was a great fit. The trip to the island was 45 mins, after plane arrival we had to wait less than 20- 30 mins to get on a boat, trip was fine not too rough, quite easy. Hotel is located on 3 small connected islands whereu can freely move between the islands. One of them though is Adults only, so no kids allowed. But we left kids to play at the kids club and enjoyed a nice drink in quite adults only beach restaurant. There is a small buggy / bus that circulates between islands, longest we had to wait for one was 10 mins otherwise within couple of mins u usually get it. Kids liked this small buggy bus so for us was not any issue, u can also walk between the islands and there is enough shade from trees. Reef: its easy to access from either diving center or also from the beach where our villa was, we saw plenty of fish, turtles, small sharks, rays, octopus almost every day. Rooms/ villas: i was a bot worried when booking the hotel as i read a few reviews saying villas are very old but inalso noticed that most of these reviews were in 2021 which is peak of covid and i think most hotels suffered so decided tontake a risk. In the end the villa we booked (on the beach with a pool) was very good and quite new. So was happy.

Food in the restaurant was a bit overpriced but overall quality was Ok. There are a bit of mosquitoes and the hotel is doing fogging but i also hear its normal in maldives We went only for bed and breakfast (and I actually think its still a better value) as even on all inclusive there is quite a few things u need to pay extra otherwise choice is quite limited, so preferred to chose myself what to pay for what u want. Dinner in buffet costs $65 pp which was reasonably ok. I would recommend more options for al la carte lunch as otherwise mostly its pizza and pasta beach place or buffet. Overall good for family who is looking for good quality and not too pricey!

Incredible 9 days on Dream Island! From the moment we arrived the staff could not do more for you. Hana was our rep and she was on call via whatsapp for anything we needed. She arranged our spa visit and always replied instantly. We were half board and stayed in the Grand Water Villa. Alamin was our housekeeper who always kept our villa immaculate and surprised us with adorable decorations on the bed in the evenings. Our waiter in the Malaafaiy Restaurant was AK. He was like having a personal assistant who helped us each day and gave us advice. We always had a great table by the edge with sea view. The food in here was amazing! It changed every evening and there was so much choice. Loved it! Next door we would enjoy happy hour cocktails with the Waiter Anton who was like our personal weatherman. At lunch time we would pop over to the Crust & Flame and have High Tea which was free and consited of canepe’s which kept us going until dinner. We also at at the Romance Island. The pizza is amazing! Romance Island is just perfect. We spent a lot of time there as it is 5 star and adults only and the furthest pool is probably the most beautiful pool I have ever had the pleasure to enjoy. The view at sunset is breathtaking. This is our 3rd trip to the Maldives and my favourite island yet. There is nothing you cannot love about it. The rooms have everything. The beaches are stunning and the people are adorable. It is a true peace of heaven.

Nothing was not to like! Apart from when it rained!

As a family with 2 young children (5yr and 8yr) this was our second visit to this resort - we will surely be returning again. We travel frequently to beach resorts in Europe and Dubai - and I can confidently say this resort is up there among the best in terms of value for money in the £500-600 per night bracket (inc. half-board for a family of 4). It is a large resort with different types of accommodation to suit your budget - this review is based on our experience of the Grand Beach Suite (with pool) on the Dream island. Location: The resort is appx 45min boat ride away from the Velana airport - and their team was there to collect us at the airport (there is an extra charge for this transfer for adults - but kids go free). The resort consists of 3 islands connected to each other via bridges - with a frequent shuttle service to ferry guests from one end to the other. The grounds and beaches are maintained to an excellent standard...all very clean and green..full credit to the maintenance team. Accommodation: Last year we had stayed in a Grand Water Villa on the Dream island which we thought was excellent - this year we wanted to try one of the newly built Grand Beach Suites with private pools. The suites are at par or even better than some 5 star properties we've visited before. Well done to the management for the well thought out design and luxurious bathrooms. The suite, with its 2 rooms, was large enough for our family - with a large patio area with a pool and directly leading to the beach. Room was well stocked and we had daily visits from Santosh and his team who did an excellent job in keeping it clean and stocked up. Food and restaurants: We were booked on a half-board basis and chose to eat at the Malaafaiy buffet restaurant due to close proximity to our room - but there are numerous other restaurants to eat. Staff: All staff are very well mannered and work hard to provide a good experience. Overall great experience and we will return again!

2 areas with room for improvement - 1) During breakfast, we sometimes had to flag someone to order a tea/coffee - it would be good if this is offered by default to all tables. 2) We had to checkout at 5am due to an early flight and had to walk up to the bus stop with half asleep kids to get the shuttle to reach the reception - it would be good for the resort to offer a pick-up from the room during early hours.

The property had all types of rooms and amenities. There were shows that were organized every evening for guest entertainment which was quite good.

The water taxi from airport to the property is extremely mismanaged and honestly it is outrageously expensive. Here are few things that I am extremely unhappy about: 1. We had to wait for 2.5 hrs at the airport for the water taxi before we were transported to the property 2. The Sun Siyam staff at the airport were not helpful at all 3. The mandatory Sun Siyam water taxi is ridiculous because they are outrageously expensive. They charge $250-300 per person whereas you can get a taxi for $25 per person

The food was fantastic, and the room was really comfortable. The staff were very attentive, and as we were travelling with our baby they were very much on hand to help too which was lovely.

There are no shops/convenience stores nearby, so only advice would be to come prepared with snacks 😊 Also, the return leg of the speedboat transfer from the hotel to Male was AWFUL. The driver was going way too fast, seemingly because they wanted to pick up new arriving guests, but it left us very distressed after a lovely few days of unwinding!

I used to stay in dream island for 3 night villa 64x Resort facilities was superb, beach are calm even its rain. Room are nice (i use to stay 6xx villa) , Malafaiyy chef most friendly, chef Pradeep omelette section always take care of me, chef Muzan fruit counter always give nice greeting. Also restaurant envirorment dine-in area are oustanding. Definately, my next vacation i will choose dream island for stay. I used to order floating breakfast its delivery on time Housekeeping will make sure that you stay with most convince and happily. I like to sit and spend evening time at Dhoni bar best bar in Olhuveli. Also i took late lunch from Island Pizza, Chef Mustak will make sure that you got pizza as your type what you are looking for. :) (any special request in a la carte place i do prefer to communicate with chef as your perference, chef will serve best for you.) You will never get bored in this place, i wish i could stay longer, it never feel enough for here. I used to travelling few resort in Maldives, but not feel like what i feel in Sun Siyam Olhuveli.

Bus drive too fast at late night time.

All good except check in apps should have been provided to guest well before to make a comfortable check in. At night once we had a power cut for 10 mins. Expensive transfer to and from, although I paid less than half by my own transfer.

The resort is truly amazing, with dedicated owners and staff, and the overall energy of the place is very positive. I would like to thank everyone, from the organizers to the farmers and the cleaning staff. There are beautiful cats and chickens around the property. We were especially captivated by an incredible trainer, Kenza from Tunisia. Her positive energy, kindness, and warmth truly lit up the place. She brings so much joy and happiness, like a butterfly floating between flowers. The Sri Lankan bus driver, Shafi, was also welcoming and friendly to all guests. I’d like to give a special thanks to Looth, who helped us on the first day. We wish he could have been with us throughout our stay, as he was so kind and attentive. Everything about the resort was wonderful, with a very high level of service. Additionally, I’d like to mention the European instructor at the dive center, I believe his name was Ager. He was dedicated and explained diving with great passion and support. However, the water sports area needs improvement in terms of management and customer service. We were placed on a waiting list for activities and didn’t get a chance to enjoy any water sports. There was a lack of assistance or motivation to help us book, and the prices for activities were a bit high.My room phone is not working they didn’t fixed it, I suggested small supermarket + coiffeur + improve water spots staff or put a direct line with them to contact easier + I suggest selling juice, ice creams, and light snacks at various locations around the islands and providing bicycles at the villas for guests. This would offer convenience and refreshment while enhancing the overall guest experience. I’m coming back soon maybe next month i felt it home to me.
