Sun Siyam Iruveli Maldives

The dolphin ocean suite was excellent, with splendid views of the vast open ocean and waters so crystal clear you can spot all types of reef fish, including a black tip shark which hung out a lot at ours. The bed was comfortable and the room was much more spacious than I had envisioned by looking at photos. The bathroom design also took my breath away, something I did not expect from photos posted online. Pictures simply cannot do the design any justice. I would highly recommend the dolphin suites to everyone who doesn't mind walking a distance to and from the suite. We travelled with young kids, so the hotel was very kind to offer their buggy service to us. But guests without kids or without mobility issues are not offered the same, and I can imagine the walk being quite tiring under the hot sun, especially if you are coming from the other end of the island where the spa and Mediterranean restaurant are. Service was excellent, and by far the best I have experienced in recent years. The staff seem genuinely happy to be working there and are keen to always help us out where needed. Everyone from the restaurant waiters to the attendants at the kids'club playroom were super friendly and forthcoming with information. Very glad to have made this place our first destination after borders reopened!
