The sea view is beautiful

This resort is truly paradise. Its natural surrounding beauty is exquisite. The island is something out of a movie scene. The waters are crystal clear and the food is outstanding. I had no idea what to expect but everything was fabulous. If you are looking to be treated like royalty and want to give yourself a well deserved rest with peace tranquility and harmony, this is the place to go to. The owner of the island is there to see his guests with a beaming smile and warm welcome. His team are professional and really do go above and beyond the call of duty. The General Manager’s approach to making this place run fabulously is exceptional. He has a hands on approach and welcomes each and every guest on to the island personally. An experience which makes you feel like a VIP. He is humble and grounded yet runs the place like a tight ship. The Head Chef comes to visit people personally and takes immense pride in ensuring the standard and quality of food is nothing short of perfect made with love and well presented absolutely delicious foods. The staff just can’t do enough to make you feel like you are valued and respected. Table service is outstanding and you just get left feeling that you are very welcomed and important. The bars are fun and entertaining. Food and drinks are awesome and you really do feel the place is catered just for you. Nothing is too much for the staff and every member has a smile embedded on their faces. As a world traveller I would say this place is authentic grounding and truly magical. If you want to feel the stars come down to great you, this is the place for opening new realms. I do believe there are new additions of restaurants and bars coming, can’t wait to go back and experience more of paradise. A must visit place.

We have been to 9 resorts. We liked it everywhere, the staff was also good, but at South Palm Resort it was especially welcoming, ready to fulfill any of our wishes. We felt really pampered. We took an opportunity to change our rooms from beach villa to water villa, thus enjoying all the advantages that each of them provides. We received a complimentary excursion to the neighboring island and a barbecue dinner on the beach. The hotel didn't stop surprising us by gifting and delivering champagne with snacks to the room. We checked out and went home before lunch had started, and the hotel prepared take away lunch boxes for us. The night before, I asked if it was possible to get something different to the usual sandwiches, e.g., Maldivian food and some fruit and they accommodated this. We received food very nicely packed in boxes. When we opened it at the airport, we were again pleasantly surprised - one box contained our favourite Maldivian food, the other fruit and cupcakes. So delicious! We were very happy and grateful to the South Palm Resort and especially to the girl at the reception (unfortunately I don't know her name) who organized it all. Brilliant staff! Of course, everything else was also very good - a beautifully tidy island, comfortable, spacious rooms. A small drawback - there is nowhere to hide from the sun on the terraces of water villas. It would be nice to have parasols on the terrace, otherwise you have to spend all your time outside in direct sunlight. A very wide lagoon. Only most of it is covered with water grass, so the water does not look light blue, as usual in the Maldives. But it also has its own advantage - you can often meet turtles here. Little fish. We didn't see any baby sharks, nor manta rays. Overall a fantastic stay! Thank you to the smiling and truly kind staff at South Palm Resort!
