SO/ Maldives

The hospitality at SO/ Maldives is what truly makes this resort so special. Yes, the overwater villas are amazing. Yes, the water is mesmerizing. Yes, the beach and excursions (especially snorkeling with sharks) were wonderful! But, it is the constant friendly faces you see that are always waving to you or saying hello or asking if we needed anything that made our stay special. Sue, our personal liaison the entire time we were there, was the most amazing, and I mean the MOST AMAZING! From the moment we were introduced to Sue and her bubbly personality, I knew everything was going to be great! She helped us with everything we needed, including booking tours or excursions and making reservations at the restaurants. Sue would then show up with her golf cart, without us even asking, to bring us to said excursion when we were just planning to walk. She even called me on my birthday which made it very special. Everyone else was just as amazing, especially Naeem and Ashraf at the Citronelle Club, who we got to know on a more personal level. One staff member, who we only met the one time, helped drive us back to our villa when it was downpouring. She was absolutely drenched, but she was happy to help keep us as dry as possible. The hospitality and service was supreme! We hope to go back! Thanks for a great time.

First of all, thank you for leaving our honeymoon as a good memory. We chose the Maldives as our honeymoon destination without any regrets, Visiting the Somaldiv resort was the best option. While I was in the Somaldives, Thank you, Anara, for working hard in Korean for us who are not good at English. When any request occurred, I contacted you through KakaoTalk and solved it immediately, so I was able to get along well without any inconvenience. And he welcomed us with a bright smile every day, so it was very comfortable and felt like a family. I've heard a lot of rumors in Maldives that there's nothing to do, It's what people who haven't been here say, it was a place where there were a lot of things to do. After arriving, please organize the resort tour and schedule and send it to me, Please tell us everything in detail, including the internal explanation of the accommodation, the external explanation, and the restaurant, Later, he organized it again on Kakao Talk and sent it to me in Korean. I heartily thank you. The citrus restaurant I used often for breakfast, and the employee I remember is Lime. We were able to start our day happily without forgetting the kind person who remembered our names, Junho & Minji, and greeted us every morning. The Razuli restaurant, pizza, and beer I used often for lunch were the best. The Hanaba restaurant, which I used often for dinner, was luxurious and clean. Thank you for joining us for our last dinner. The cute lady in the water sports with glasses, It's really kind and laughter makes people feel good. So Maldives is a place where all the staff are kind, It was like paradise on earth. When I travel abroad, I'm always tired, so I want to go home quickly, I'm afraid of cleanliness and bugs, so I pay a lot of attention to the dorm, I was able to use it like my house, and it was such a shame to leave. It's a secret, but on the last night, I shed tears of regret from the hammock.. If I have a chance next time, if I have money, I really want to go again. I love you, Somoldive

Everything about our trip was absolutely seamless, from the warm welcome at the airport to the smooth boat transfer to the resort. The most amazing welcome by the staff and our personal Stay Manager Ana 😊. She is the sweetest and most amazing host. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and my birthday and she made it all so special 🌺 The waiters at the restaurant were always smiling and always an eye away. Aynura was a lovely presence each morning and evening, always greeting us with genuine warmth. Maseeh, Naeem, and the rest of the team made every meal a pleasure. Our favorite dinners were those featuring the Maldivian set menu, each one was a delightful surprise, and the flavors were unforgettable. The crew that took us out on the boat were always so careful and patient with us. We loved going out to spot the dolphins in the ocean and we also went snorkeling to which Eddie was with us on both excursions. My husband and I are not great swimmers but he made sure we enjoyed the experience to the fullest while being safe and relaxed. We will never forget that experience. A special mention also goes to our favorite buggy driver, Ishvaan, such a polite, cheerful, and kind-hearted person. The spa experience was equally exceptional, adding to what was overall an unforgettable and truly magical holiday.

The best part of our stay is the resort itself, their wonderful staff and services! The room is world class! Enough space to enjoy its luxurious feel. The world just needs to know this gem is available for their next bucket list of travel destination. Thank you, SO/ Maldives mgt and staff for the 7-day, 6 nights of nothing but perfection!

10 out of 10 HIGHLY recommend. From the spacious and stylish over water villa, to the food and the amazing service, to say we were impressed is an understatement. Ana, our personal concierge was attentive, thorough and cheerful. She went above and beyond to make our 20th anniversary trip extra special. Jai, Masseh and Ainora took extra special care of us while dining at the restaurants and the pool. The food was top notch and the drinks were flowing. It goes without saying that the Maldives setting was SPECTACULAR! Crystal clear waters, majestic stingrays and a few small nurse shark sightings! I could go on and on…..we can only hope to return one day.
