Overall we rate our stay 4.1/5. We would come back if the negatives were addressed. It’s a beautiful resort and lagoon. We felt the attention to details were somewhat lacking although the staff tried to please. Positives - 15 min speedboat ride to resort from Male airport. - Rooms are modern, large and well designed. - Being able to ride bikes around is fun. - Beautiful turquoise shallow waters. The resort is beautiful. - Citronelle restaurant has a good variety and qualify of eastern and western food. - Nightly DJ - Friendly staff. Big thank you to our host Ahsan and for the attentive service by Luna and Araily, they made the place extra special. Negatives - Breakfast buffet needs a change of dishes over a 5 night stay. - Man made reef so not much sea life or coral. - Upon induction it should be explained men must cover shoulders at mealtimes at Citronelle restaurant. Which I found strange because women can expose their shoulders? - We bought a luxury escapes deal included with ether lunch or dinner but we were not told you had to choose lunch or dinner for your entire stay. You cannot have lunch one day and dinner the next as part of the deal. - Food and drink is expensive even my Maldivian standards. Buy a package. - There’s a DJ at night but it’s ho hum most nights. Maybe try varying the nightly entertainment. There was a fire show one night which was entertaining but not much else . - Importantly….My wife was run off the road while cycling at night by a resort buggy. The buggy did not have their lights on or give way. She was ok (in shock) but the next person may not be so lucky. Having buggy lights on at night should be mandatory for the safety of guests.

Highly recommend! Ask for Ahsan!

Chelsea H TripAdvisor review

My husband and myself decided to book the SO/ Maldives resort for our honeymoon and it was truly the best decision we could’ve made. I cannot recommend this resort enough! 10/10! We had Ahsan as our butler and he made our trip go so smoothly and so amazing. He planned everything for us which was such a nice change from every day life. He responded immediately when I texted and always checked on us to make sure we were getting the best service, I know for a fact we gained a forever friend! He was so professional and hands down the hardest worker I’ve ever seen! All of the staff were top tier from front desk, to bartenders, to kitchen staff! The villas were also so spacious and clean I have no bad things to say about this resort! My review could be 10 pages. I know I can speak for myself and my husband when I say we cannot wait to come back just to visit the staff and see all of the best views again!

We were treated with calm respect and a sense that nothing was too much.We were lucky enough to have an overwater villa situated at the end of the boardwalk and so had almost complete privacy. Our accommodation fab. Waking up to that view was both beautiful and therapeutic. Staff on the whole were polite and helpful. The best croissants I have ever tasted for breakfast! Great choice of options for food and drinks. We loved our experience!

Dear Linda, Chic greetings from SO/ Maldives! Thank you for sharing your thoughtful review. We’re pleased to hear that your stay felt calm, respectful, and comfortable, qualities we aim to reflect throughout the guest experience. Your overwater villa at the end of the boardwalk sounds like a wonderful setting, and it’s great to know the privacy and views added to your enjoyment. Waking up to the ocean is indeed a special way to begin the day. We’re also glad you enjoyed the breakfast. especially the croissants and appreciated the variety of food and drink options available. Your mention of swimming in clear waters and the short boat journey to the island captures some of the simple pleasures of being here. Thank you for choosing SO/ Maldives and for sharing your experience. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Warm regards, Viu - Guest Experience
