Borui S. Couples - 8/10/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

We had an incredibly comfortable and wonderful 5-day, 4-night stay at SO Maldives. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. A special thank you to our butler Lamir – he was attentive, thoughtful, and always anticipated our needs, whether it was arranging speedboat transfers, adjusting our overwater villa number, or helping us with small issues in the room. He truly made us feel at home. We would also like to thank Claire, the Chinese-speaking butler at Citronelle restaurant, who patiently explained the menu in fluent Chinese and recommended every amazing dish, making our dining experience even warmer and more personal. This trip became unforgettable because of them. We are very grateful to the whole team, and we will definitely come back and recommend this place to all our friends!

We are equally grateful for your kind words about Claire and her warm, personalized service at Citronelle. We are delighted that her fluent Chinese guidance and thoughtful recommendations made your dining experience even more enjoyable. Your kind recognition will certainly be shared with both Lamir and Claire.
