What Our Guests Say

Rated Very Good on TripAdvisor

Paradise

Where do we start — this place is Paradise. Big shout out to Sabbir in the dining room who looked after us for 2 weeks, he made our holiday. Then Nizam who greeted us on arrival, checked in on us and upgraded us to the water villa. And Dr Jeevan who looked after my husband in the middle of the night — came to our villa and nothing was too much bother. Room service was definitely 5 star. Thank you all for your amazing kindness and friendliness. It's been the best holiday we have had. Ann & Ray Stuart.

A Resort That Truly Knows How to Care About Its Guests

Our stay at Villa Park became one of the most memorable holidays we've ever had. We were upgraded to a beautiful Lagoon Beach Villa — spacious, fresh, beautifully maintained and only a few steps from the beach. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and the hotel surprised us with wine, a cake and thoughtful decorations that made the evening truly magical. We would especially like to thank Ms. Simna, who stayed in contact with us throughout, listened carefully and did everything within her power to make our holiday special. By the time we left, we honestly wished we could stay for another week. Thank you to the entire Villa Park team.

An unforgettable honeymoon

We chose this resort for our honeymoon and I am happy with the choice. At Sun Island they take care of everything from arrival at the airport in Malé until the return. Eliza took care of welcoming us to the resort — she was clear, helpful and available for any need throughout our stay. The food is excellent and varied for all needs, even for celiacs. The sea is wonderful at any point on the island. Thank you for everything.
