South Ari Atoll Holidays

Overall nice stay with great snorkeling. We stayed at water villa and ate at the Lagoon restaurant. The food can use improvement in quality and consistency. Service staff was nice. We filled out the survey for food on our 2nd day and the staff really took it seriously and made sure we had good food options rest of our stay. Breakfast was consistently awesome. Lunch and dinner varied in our opinion. I wish our host treated the food allergy we reported seriously as we had kiwi sent to our room as well served on a 10 person excursion without an alternative. The staff was nice to have kind gestures when we shared the food allergy issue. Just not the 5-star personalized experience we expected. We booked on Expedia 7 days before we arrived. The hotel never confirmed our arrival flight. Hope the property better manages communication. Luckily there was another family on the same flight so we didn’t wait for the boat transfer. Just an unnecessary stressful beginning when you do not hear back from the property.

All of the staff handled business efficiently my room was constantly clean daily. The food was immaculate, and the drinks were amazing.

the island is well taken care of, Razib our cleaner was fantastic. the snorkeling and wildlife was amazing

It's ok for a 4-star. We spoke several times with the front desk manager (Shahin), who was outstanding! However, it feels like he cannot make big changes happen as the hotel is underinvested from the top. Shahin saved the experience -- without him we would have given this place a 2 star max. We reached out to senior management and were totally ignored. This actually explains why the place is unlikely to change in the future. GM is too busy thinking revenue, not experience. He won't get much revenue UNLESS he improves customer experiences.

Our stay at Siyam World Maldives was nothing short of magical, and we owe a huge part of that to the amazing staff who made our honeymoon truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality, but what really stood out was the incredible service we received from our island ambassador Vanessa and the wonderful team at the Together Bar—especially Divya and Rico. Vanessa was absolutely fantastic. She went above and beyond to ensure that every moment of our stay was smooth, relaxing, and filled with joy. Whether it was organizing activities, making sure our preferences were always taken into account, or just checking in with a warm smile, she made us feel genuinely cared for. Divya and Rico at the Together Bar were equally amazing. Their energy, attentiveness, and positive vibes made every visit a highlight of our day. They took the time to remember our favorite drinks, made great recommendations, and were always up for a friendly chat. It felt like we were hanging out with friends rather than just being served. The beauty of Siyam World speaks for itself—stunning beaches, luxurious villas, and an endless list of things to do—but it’s the people that truly make the experience special. We’re already dreaming of coming back! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a mix of luxury, comfort, and exceptional service in paradise All staff were amazing and polite. Especially Rico, Vanessa and Dyvia.
