8/10 Very good

The room needed to be updated but was very clean and efficient. The island is terrific with more great beaches than most islands. The Manta Rays swimming around the Italian restaurant was fantastic. We were pleased with the food and drinks on the All-inclusive Plan. The resort lived up to all our expectations and more. The snorkelling here was not up to our previous Maldives resorts but the beaches were better. The staff was also terrific, every single one.

Villa park - sun island was a lovely resort! The staff really made it perfect. Mannan the buggy driver was excellent. Showed us around the whole island, recommended things to see and do! Went above and beyond. My husband developed a headache and Mannan went out of his way to bring us paracetamol to our room, perfect service! Rakesh the chef in the southern star restaurant was lovely. Always happy to help and make something fresh, breakfast lunch and dinner - perfect food, conversation and service every time! All the staff we encountered were happy and friendly. Only thing I would mention - is the island has a lot to offer! If you don’t hear from your host - make sure you request the daily itinerary.

Great gateaway!
Villa Park Sun Island was a refreshing experience. My husband and I had a lovely honeymoon with various experiences offered. There were water activities, spa services, and activities such as badminton, paddle ball, table tennis, billiards, etc. We were full board so breakfast, lunch, and dinner were included at certain times. Employees were extremely friendly and accommodating. Some suggestions I would recommend are adding bells to the bikes they offer to rent. It becomes difficult to navigate on the path when people, carts, and other bikes are all sharing the road. I would also suggest illuminating the signs with the room numbers. At night, the island is peaceful and lite with dim lights, however, it becomes hard to find the rooms without a flashlight. Another suggestion would be telling your room number at the dining hall so no confusions happen. The day of checkout my husband and I did not know lunch wasn't included. Although the staff was very friendly to remove any charge, we should have been informed at check in that it would not be included. We were only told a checkout time and what time to be at the jetty to leave via boat. Also, the food became a little repetitive after the first few days. Overall, great trip! 4/5

A fantastic intro to the Maldives. The resort took care of everything for our transfers which would have been daunting overwise but they met you at the arrivals area and made sure it was smooth on to the smaller plane - minibus - boat and on return as well. The staff were very attentive and professional, always checking if we were ok but not in a pressured way. The rooms were cleaned to a great standard and any requests for the minibar were dealt with swiftly. Staff remembered our drinks orders for breakfast and dinner which was a nice touch. The snorkelling around the Island was amazing, we saw a turtle, manta rays, many sharks, stingrays and 1000's of fish. The land wildlife was interesting as well, we saw fruit bats and a Indian Flying Fox! The facilities (watersports, gym, sports) were staffed well and great condition. There was always something going on in the evening (may have been due to the Xmas period) from karaoke, live band, violinist, saxophone, singers and an epic Xmas Eve party with proper outdoor festival staging, lighting and music rig. The food was fantastic, so many options and they were happy to make something if you wanted something different. The chef was going to make a special curry for us but due to other restaurant bookings we missed out. We had a meal at the Italian restaurant overlooking the water were the Manta Rays were, the food was exceptional. We also tried the Tepenyaki place on the beach, again, great food and service.

The resort is amazing. We loved our 10 days there. There is only one Main thing that Must be specified when people book. Travellers who book "Water Villa" have access to a much better restaurant. The problem is that the restaurant where all the others have access have a bad quality. We asked for an upgrade to this restaurant after trying it for the first time and we were allowed free upgrade. The thing is our room was more expensive than water Villa so it didn't make much sense that we didn't have access to this restaurant. Nothing else to add, the rest is amazing, wildness is great, staff is great. Amazing experience.

The sports - squash, tennis, badmington etc, jacuzzi and cold water pool and the spa..........the facitilies are world class and our room was spectaucluar - our own pool and beach access - thank you. The buffet was great with a good choice and we enjoyed a sunset drink each evening on the beach or the pier.

Friendly, beautiful, and worth every penny.
The resort was beautiful and big. The view of the ocean and the walking paths were very pleasant. The staff were extremely professional, accommodating, and friendly from check-in to check-out. We got the meal plan included which the buffet was fanastic. You could get a lot of items cooked to order. Highly recommend going to southern star restaurant...where the hosts, cooks, and waitstaff are phenomenal! They clean the room twice a day so cleanliness was exceptional. Everyone working in the boating department were great especially our captian, Bruno! The outdoor spa is gorgeous! The shark and manta feeding done daily is a great experience. Highly recommend this resort!

מקום מדהים ביופיו. החופים הכי מקסימים שראינו. הוילות על המים זו חוויה מדהימה אך גם הוילות על החוף כיפיות. הבריכה הציבורית מקסימה. אפשר לשחק טניס, כדורסל, פינג-פונג, ביליארד וגולף. האוכל היה מגוון אך לא מהמשובחים.
