Kaung S. P. H. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

The hotel location and setting is great. It was a beautiful spot. But the butler service and food is borderline bad. The guy from the Ocean Sport center is also rude. Overall, the good things only are the hotel location, and room service such as cleaning room. The food is bad, restaurants are over complicated like need booking to eat. And butler is not great.

Dear Kaung, We are pleased to know that you appreciated the location of the resort, your accommodation, the views, and the cleanliness of the villa. We regret that certain aspects of service and dining did not meet your expectations. Your comments regarding the Guest Experience Maker service, restaurant experience, breakfast variety, and interactions at the watersports centre have been noted as we continue to review service consistency across all guest touchpoints. We appreciate your perspective, as feedback such as yours is valuable in helping us improve the overall guest experience. We wish you all the best in your future travels. Kind regards, Viu – Guest Experience

We booked a 5 day stay on half board package through Luxury Escapes in Australia hw we arrived after a month in Europe (France). Due to war, new Austrian Airlines flight cost an extra $2k on top of normal airfare. This cost altered what we could afford in our 5 days at SO.

Dear Jane, We are pleased to know that you enjoyed the beauty of your room and that Luna and Abdul made a memorable contribution to your experience. Your kind recognition will be shared with them. We also appreciate your thoughtful comments regarding sustainability, outdoor lighting, and our beverage selections. Feedback such as yours is valuable as we continue to review ways to enhance guest comfort, improve communication of our sustainability initiatives, and refine our dining and cocktail experiences. Thank you once again for sharing your perspective. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future. Kind regards, Viu – Guest Experience

Our stay in an overwater bungalow at SO/ Maldives (March 28 – April 4) was nothing short of extraordinary—truly one of the most epic vacations we’ve ever experienced. From the moment we were greeted at the airport to the heartfelt send-off at the end of our stay, every single detail was seamless and elevated beyond our expectations. The level of service is something you feel immediately—warm, genuine, and consistently exceptional. The resort itself is stunning. Our overwater bungalow was absolute perfection—beautifully designed, private, and surrounded by the most breathtaking turquoise water. Waking up to peaceful sunrises and ending the day with unforgettable sunsets felt surreal. The ocean was alive with marine life—we saw incredible fish right from our deck, which made every swim and snorkel feel like a dream. The vibe of the island is something really special. It’s tranquil, peaceful, and incredibly well-maintained, yet still has a fun, stylish energy. Whether we were relaxing in total serenity or enjoying the entertainment—the DJ sets and the fire show were amazing—everything felt thoughtfully curated. And the food… absolutely outstanding. Every meal exceeded expectations, with so much variety and quality across the board. What truly sets SO/ Maldives apart, though, is the people. Every single team member we encountered was professional, kind, and seemed genuinely happy to be there—which made all the difference. We want to give a huge, heartfelt shoutout to the team members who made our stay even more unforgettable by going above and beyond: Maria, Badre, Sulman, Zimyan, Naeem, SK, Adam, Fahudhu, Araily, Elf, Narayan, and Shibab. You made us feel so welcomed and taken care of—we are incredibly grateful. This was more than just a vacation—it was an experience we’ll never forget. Already dreaming of our return 🤍

Dear Pamela, We are truly delighted to know that your time at SO/ Maldives was such an extraordinary and memorable experience. From your arrival to your departure, it is wonderful to hear that every detail felt seamless and that you were able to fully enjoy the beauty of your overwater villa, the vibrant marine life, and the unique atmosphere of the island. We are especially pleased that you enjoyed both the peaceful moments and the lively experiences, from relaxing by the lagoon to the entertainment and evening events. It is also fantastic to know that our dining experiences exceeded your expectations. Most importantly, your kind words about our team mean a great deal to us. We will be incredibly proud to share your appreciation with Maria, Badre, Sulman, Zimyan, Naeem, SK, Adam, Fahudhu, Araily, Elf, Narayan, and Shibab. Knowing they helped make your stay so special is the greatest recognition they could receive. Thank you once again for your trust and for choosing SO/ Maldives. We truly look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable experience in the future. Warm regards, Viu – Guest Experience
