Absolutely incredible views, amazing staff, out of this world delicious food!! I can’t say enough good things !!! More children than we expected but our private villa was on point! ##### Courtney Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Amarjit 14 Mar 2025 Disliked: Staff & service #### Think Twice This hotel is definitely not 5 star... The service from management was terrible before arrival. We had to send numerous emails to arrange our transfer. Further they charge an extortionate amount for the transfer $250 return trip that takes 15 mins. We paid $50 for a return trip to Maafushi on a similar boat. Altough individual staff including our MEM were friendly, the management was not good. I would definitely not recommend this resort. ##### Amarjit Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Olga 19 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We recently stayed at the SO/ Maldives Resort and wanted to share my feedback to help improve future guest experiences. 1. Room Reservation Issue: I booked a water villa specifically for a private vacation with my husband. However, upon arrival, the room I booked was unavailable, and I was offered an upgrade to share a larger house with my friends. While the villa was stunning, it did not provide the privacy I was seeking, which was a key reason for choosing your resort. 2. Boat Transfer Experience: Our group had arranged a private boat transfer. Unfortunately, on the return trip to the airport, we had to share the boat with other guests due to a delay in my checkout process. This resulted in other guests yelling at me for making them late, which was a stressful and unpleasant experience to end the vacation. I appreciate the beauty of the resort and the effort put into making it luxurious, but these issues detracted from the privacy and exclusive experience I was expecting. I hope you take this feedback into account to improve service consistency for future guests. ##### Olga Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Payal 18 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Overall, a very nice stay ##### Payal Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 6 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rohit 13 Feb 2025 ##### Rohit Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ahmad 20 Nov 2024 ##### Ahmad Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kestutis 16 Nov 2024 ##### Kestutis Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ilias 1 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Ilias Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Khaled 13 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Khaled Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Makunudu Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makunudu-Hotels-Makunudu-Island.h5633328.Hotel-Information) > > [OBLU SELECT Lobigili with Free Transfers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/OBLU-SELECT-Lobigili.h72915067.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Maldives Amingiri Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuda-Vattaru-Hotels-Hilton-Maldives-Amingiri-Resort.h71554884.Hotel-Information) > > [SAii Lagoon Maldives, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ehmafushi-Hotels-SAii-Lagoon-Maldives.h30435488.Hotel-Information) > > [Meeru Maldives Resort Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Meerufenfushi-Hotels-Meeru-Maldives-Resort-Island.h1451649.Hotel-Information) > > [Summer Island Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ziyaraifushi-Island-Hotels-Summer-Island-Maldives.h9990281.Hotel-Information) > > [Biyadhoo Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Biyadhoo-Island-Hotels-Biyadhoo-Island-Resort.h1705989.Hotel-Information) > > [Velassaru Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Velassaru-Hotels-Velassaru-Maldives.h1145793.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Maldives At Kuda Huraa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuda-Huraa-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Maldives-At-Kuda-Huraa.h797351.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Coral Reef Resort & Spa Maldives – A Premium All Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hembadhu-Island-Hotels-Taj-Coral-Reef-Resort-Spa-Maldives.h526375.Hotel-Information) > > [Eriyadu Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Eriyadu-Hotels-Eriyadu-Island-Resort.h8094958.Hotel-Information) > > [Adaaran Club Rannalhi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rannalhi-Hotels-Adaaran-Club-Rannalhi-45-Minutes-Away-From-Male-By-Speedboat.h1514749.Hotel-Information) > > [Bandos Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bandos-Island-Hotels-Bandos-Maldives.h1705990.Hotel-Information) > > [Centara Ras Fushi Resort & Spa Maldives -
