Budget Hotels in South Ari Atoll

"We celebrated our first wedding anniversary at Radisson and to say that it exceeded our expectations would be an understatement! It could be expected for a luxury resort to provide amenities that cater to guests’ enjoyment, but to be able to make guests feel at home is something that not all properties can achieve. Everyone in this resort was extra friendly and warm to us! We’d like to commend Shamal, the duty manager, who we now consider a dear friend for going the extra mile and accommodating me and my wife during our stay. "

"Amazing island and amazing food "

"Nothing All was as showed and described Great place the getaway with that someone special on your live I will come back several times and enjoyed as the very first time.!!!"

"A wonderful holiday resort where we treated like royalty. Courteous friendly staff from cleaners to management. Couldn’t have asked for more as a way to celebrate 50 years of marriage. "

"This was our trip to the Maldives and our first time at Lily's. Traveling during the low season helped us avoid the crowds and high prices. The Sunset water villa, which comes with a personal butler, is highly recommended. Our butler, Mussey, took care of all our needs. While our stay wasn't perfect, Mussey resolved all issues efficiently and swiftly. Despite being one of the older properties in the Maldives, Lily's maintains its rooms and grounds very well. With over six decades combined in the hospitality industry, my wife and I can be quite critical about accommodations and service standards. We'll return to collect our special memories scattered throughout the resort and island."

"Lovely staff, stunning accommodation, good food, great excursions. We went on snorkelling trips to look for Whale Sharks, turtles and Manta Rays and saw them all super close to us. Prices also weren’t quite as punitive as we’ve seen in the Maldives before (eg champagne for USD50, cocktails for USD12). "

"We were so excited because our host was from USA. But we wrong we had the worst ever experience bye for with the host, we stayed in this resort for 8 nights in the grand water villas #419. We had a chance only once at welcome and good-bye that was our help from the host."

"Hotel has impressive gardens and grounds with lots of vegetation and flowers- so beautiful. Food was amazing, service was great too. Can’t wait to return."

"Overall was very good particularly the customer service was extremely good. Hotel management team was very present & approachable. However we were all expecting air conditioning throughout in the water villa especially it’s an enclosed bathroom. There was no AC nor fan in the bathroom and was recommended not to open the door in between the bedroom & bathroom which caused condensation. We tried but the heat/humidity made it hard to do whatever for a minute or 2 without sweating. This was very disappointing for 4.5* resort. Food was ok, plenty to choose from and will not go hungry. We were AI and drinks were included which were very good. The Chefs even provided us with custom made fish dishes which were very delicious. My friends did the fishing excursion but the Maldivian style was not for anyone but there weren’t any fishing rods as another option. We didn’t do any of the free excursions as weather wasn’t on our side. We stayed on the water villa and there were many fishes around for snorkeling but be aware that the bottom of the water was very rocky so water shoes are the must. Chanaka, the Guest Experience Manager was very helpful and made sure all guests enjoying their time on the island & leaving there with a big smile. It was a pleasant stay with few minor hiccups. Thank you for taking care of us. "
