"The environment is not good among the islands. It is an artificial island with average vegetation, but the service is very good. I am very grateful to the manager for arranging a speedboat to send us alone half an hour in advance. Thank you very much. The fried rice in the restaurant is very delicious, beyond expectations, clean and hygienic"
"The old 5 star island, the equipment feels a bit old, the most unfortunate thing is that there is only one Chinese employee on the island or dive center, it is with my parents, they are not good English, they are both on the island Nothing to say. There are many Japanese people on the island, and Japan Go is very enthusiastic about talking with Japanese guests and making people look envious. The service is just like the general, just a lot of professional smirk. At the end of the day, when the island was arranged in a mess, the housekeeper did not know when we left, and the night before, someone called to confirm the time of the island. After sitting on the speed boat, I waited for another half of the day, and a European who had a child was angry. Just... it’s gone. In addition, the fish you can see is a bit monotonous and a bit boring. Finally, at the airport, the hotel staff directly handed us over to the black tour guide? ? ?"
"I checked Ctrip app for months to find a suitable resort for my honeymoon, and luckily I chose SO! It's our first time to visit Maldives, yet the resort staff made everything convenient for us.
Before we started the journey, the staff contacted us through email to inform us of the transport details.
We were picked up at Velana International Airport by the staff members of SO. The transfer by speedboat had amazing seaviews! We enjoyed the view. It only took 15min to get to the island.
On the first night, we were welcomed with delicious dessert, fruits and champagne. Drinking champagne in the spacious water villa really reminded me of romantic movie scenes. We slept well with the peaceful sound of waves.
The next morning, and every morning thereafter on the island, we tried different food at The Citronella Club. The waiters are patient and nice, bringing what we needed timely.
Not only the private swimming pool in each room is clear, but also the public swimming pool is clean and cozy. I enjoyed swimming there every day, despite the rain.
The only pity during our vacation is the bad weather. Being unaware of the local climate, we came in the rainy season. It almost rained every day! One day the wind got so strong and overwhelming that my newly bought drone fell to the ocean. I was so sad that I cried on the beach. Our butler Khim offered help and asked the security members to search for it. Although my device wasn't found, I appreciate your kind favor. That's the best hotel service I have ever had, after years of overseas travels!
And on the last day of our journey, there was a storm all day. I told the butler that I was afraid we might feel dizzy if taking a boat in such a terrible weather. She comforted me and asked a staff member to give us seasick pills. The staff sent them immediately and told us how to use. They helped us to pick and deliver the luggages, so we had nothing to worry about. The seasick pills worked and we were comfortable throughout the trip.
After taking the speedboat to the airport, a staff picked our luggages and accompanied us all the way to the check-in counter. I never imagined a hotel service could be so detailed! We don't bother checking out the schedule. We just need to relax and enjoy our day!
We look forward to coming again when the weather is better. Thanks to SO/ Maldives, I had sweet memories here!"

"The SAii Lagoon Maldives by Hilton really live up to it’s five star hotel status. The services and all the amenities were excellent. There were so much to do and so many places to relax at the resort. Choice of restaurants with different cuisines were amazing."
"Beautiful coral reef! Sea Villa .. Every morning sunrise and dusk make us unforgettable! Breakfast is rich: butler service and guidance in all aspects give full marks"
"This stay at Velassaru Island Resort was absolutely perfect. The service, facilities and food were impeccable. I am already planning my next visit and looking forward to having a great time here again."
"The room was quite clean and big enough. It was equivalent to a three-star or four-star hotel in China. The hotel provided airport pick-up and drop-off, which was free, which was OK. The child's extra bed, including breakfast and tax, cost 85 dollars, which was a bit expensive. Overall, this is the best hotel in Male city that can accommodate three beds in a large room as a transit hotel. The price is not cheap."
"The beehive shows a 5m2 room, which is why I was a little tense - but in fact it is much bigger.
It was good, AC and Wifi worked and everything was in good condition. The outdoor facilities and windows were likely to be cleaned and cleaned again. There everything looks something unpleasant.
The service was good, but had its problems with CTrip. 2x I was relatively long there and had to wait. Also at the checkout, I was presented a bill of inclusive breakfast. It probably runs all about booking normally.
But otherwise a good hotel for one night before you continue to fly/ship."
Very Good
