Summer Island Maldives

We really dreamed about our vacation to the Maldives and this resort was the best choice. Incredible views, water, services, food, everything was very good. We stayed for 6 nights in the garden room, then we moved to a water villa for one night. Special thanks to the resort manager for making this possible, as the boy at the reception said initially it was not possible. The sunset villa we recieved was magnificent with spectacular views and clearest water ever seen. We booked all inclusive meal plan, food was great and various every day and the desserts INCREDIBLY GOOD. Also, big thanks to the staff, from the first day when we arrived, they were very attentive and polite and I must mention not only this place cleanliness, but theirs as well. 10/10 would recommend this or rebook without hesitation :)

My wife and I visited here for our anniversary and we were looked after fantastically by all the staff, We visited the island 2 years ago and thought we would go back as we enjoyed it so much the first time, The island is small but has some stunning beach areas and clear waters were u can walk out a good distance and it's still relatively shallow , did notice some parts where there has been a bit of erosion as the tree roots have become exposed . We went all inclusive which we felt was probably worth the extra but just a shame we couldn't use it in the other bars ,the food in buffet restaurant was excellent with a great variety of choice ranging from curries to roast beef and great lamb dishes, the staff in restaurant are very friendly and helpful, The entertainment was pretty good , but it is great to just sit under the stars and chill out, Our room was nice and spacious and spotless so thanks to all the staff for catering for all our needs, Once again we had a great time and hopefully be back in the future

We have stayed at Summer Island for 9 days and 8 nights. The resort is on a lovely small island, where everything is a short walk away. The rooms are nicely furbished, clean, comfortable, maintained twice a day. We stayed in a Superior vista room, on the first floor, we had an amazing terrace surrounded by gorgeous palm trees and with a view to the ocean. The staff is really attentive, polite, and helpful with any request or question, they always had time for small talk and to make us feel welcome. They are very well organized and they work hard to maintain the island. The food was very good, menu rotating weekly, offering international and local cuisine. We had the all inclusive package, and we were really happy with our choice (reminder: do not expect fine dining, that is something else, expect delicious food with large variety). Samuga (buffet) restaurant is available for everyone, and Hiya (buffet for starters/a la carte for main) available for extra cost or for Water-villa or Premium beach villa guests. We tried both and preferred Samuga for the larger selection. The 2 bars on the island offer a large variety of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, both having their own charm. Avi bar is on the water and offers an amazing view of the ocean, and Nevi bar is a more laid back beach bar, with great atmosphere and sunset view. The resort offers free snorkeling trips, for which you can sign up at the reception, it is worth the experience, there is amazing coral reef near by. We have also tried the turtle snorkeling trip with a guide, from the diving center, and saw 5 turtles, octopus, millions of colored fishes. It was worth every penny! Also you can rent snorkeling gear, go pro, for reasonable prices, but I recommend taking your own equipment. We have booked a Valentin's Day dinner on the beach (5 course menu, live music, champagne), the reception made arrangements for my husband to pick up a gorgeous bouquet of roses on Vday's morning to surprise me, and when we arrived back in our from the dinner it was beautifully arranged with rose petals. We have received from the resort a free upgrade for the last 2 nights, and we spent them in a water-villa, with free access to Hiya and Avi bar. It was a complete surprise, and we loved it. The water-villa is amazing, and the direct access in the water is priceless. Although as the currents are strong, it is recommended only for good swimmer. The beaches are amazing, the water nearby the island is just out of this world, warm, calm, full of fish, lot to see for snorkelers. The sunbeds are not the newest generation, but they do the job, and it's never crowded. Sometimes we were the only ones in the water or on the beach. We have seen a lot of reef-sharks, manta rays, baby sharks, especially from the water villa. Useful: bring adapter for plug (they use uk plugs), sunscreen, hat, swimsuit, snorkeling equipment (mask at least), flip-flops, sun glasses, summer clothing, first aid kit. DO not bring: heels, warm clothes, uncomfortable shoes. We would like to thank to the management for this amazing experience and for the staff for all their hard work to maintain this island perfect. Whoever is trying to decide whether this resort is worth visiting, i assure you it does!!
