We went there for our daughter’s birthday. The staffs went above and beyond to make this special day into one of the beautiful memories that we could give to our daughter. The kids really enjoyed their time in this property.

In the southernmost part of Maldives, you need to take the domestic route of Maldives, and transfer to the hotel's speedboat to the resort island after arrival.
The hotel's pick-up and drop-off is still very good, and the airport VIP room for domestic departures is also presented.
I don't know why, but a lot of the seawater here is seaweed, so you must rinse it off after entering the water.
You must book a seaside room, the price is the same, there are sunset rooms and many other options, but you must choose a beach room, many of the other room types are completely blocked by trees, or, there are stones inside, and special water shallow.

Just returned from lovely break here. It does take a long time to get to South Palm Resort as there are only 3 daily flights between Male and Gan but we were met by a resort representative who took us to the lounge on our arrival and then met us again to check in for transfer. Internal flight was 70 mins then speedboat trip was 15mins. Stayed in an overwater villa which was very clean and was cleaned, water replenished etc twice a day. Billal was a very friendly housekeeper, Infact all the staff were extremely helpful and pleasant that we encountered. Ali was great and our waiter (Solly?) was too. We did the shark/fishing/sunset trip and it was well worth it- it was cancelled one day due to engine trouble but rearranged to the next day. The food was ok once you worked out the various stations that cooked things fresh for you and while there wasn't huge variety what we had was very tasty. We aren't big drinkers anywat but the drinks available were absolutely fine for us. The views here are amazing and from our water villa we saw a turtle every afternoon. The island is really clean and the buggy transport easy to arrange with a quick call to Reception. Overall, we were happy here, particularly for what we paid, and loved the views, the friendliness and laid back feel.

We are here now, on our second day and I would advise people to look elsewhere. We landed in Male and were looking for a hotel representative to meet us there, but nobody was to be seen. I was asking other companies and eventually someone told us to go to the information desk in the airport, only for them to pass us a piece of paper with the hotel phone number on and told us to phone them. We tried for over an hour and could not get through, nobody was answering at the other end. By this point I had had enough and wanted to get back on plane and go back home, this must have noticed by a local guide as he came over to me and asked what the problem was. He tried to telephone the hotel, but also could not get through. This local guide, who had nothing to do with this hotel, really helped us, and guided us to the transfer point for our seaplane transfer , he even walked us into the lounge and told us the time of the transfer. We eventually got here. We went for the evening meal and soon realised you need to come in early as there was not much food left and what we had was cold. Breakfast - I ordered a poach egg, but it came far too late and had already eaten everything else I had picked. We have noticed so far, you need to go into the restaurant as soon as they open so you get more opportunity of getting the food on show. Another issue is, if you want to take a drink out of the bar, you have to pay for it, I don’t understand why, but would be nice to sit on the jetty with a drink watching the world go by. I would not advise anyone to come here.

If you’re looking for an amazing time in beautiful Maldives DON’T choose this hotel. I read reviews before going and hoped that it won’t be that bad but most of the recent reviews are spot on! The food is repetitive (tuna steak and undercooked meat stews) even the pancakes at breakfast are a disappointment. I’m not a big foodie but the selection was quite poor. Also you’re allocated seating place and not allowed to change it. The decorations in the restaurant were horrible (please get rid of that Santa!!) mosh mash, dusty and out of place. Also the joke for us was how you’re on all inclusive package but a lot of things are ‘CHARGEABLE’ and the charges are not small! (Any other cocktails, food in the water villa, a la carte dining, drinks after midnight etc) Spa was lovely and the staff there were very nice but bear in mind to add $10 if you want an outdoor treatment (I’d say it was worth it but it should be included rather than forced). The trip from airport to the resort was supposed to take 10-15min but firstly the boat was not there and then (after half an hour waiting) it took 45min to get there. On return we had an actual speed boat and that took 15min! Be aware that there are only 2 flights per day from Male to Gan and even if your plane lands/takes off around midday you’ll need to leave the resort at 3am. The cleaning was not thorough. Same stains left on the surfaces for the whole duration of our stay. Towels are thin, worn out and scratchy. Some excursions were cancelled due go an engine issues. I was hoping to be able to visit next island as it looked very close on a map but there was no opportunity to get there (kayak was free for 1h and then became ‘chargeable’) Overall it wasn’t terrible but it definitely was not what I expected from Maldivian resort. Pay a bit more and find a better hotel!

The resort looks stunning and the weather amazing but the food is a let down. Very repetative. Same for lunch and evening meal. Needs a revamp in most areas bar,restaurant and room facilities....staff are very cheerful but any complaints you make seem to fall on deaf ears with the management who then seem to take it out on the staff. Manager need to put more investment into the place. Very disappointed having travelled so far to get there. Wouldnt go again.

The place was amazing but very run down. From the restaurant to the rooms. The only place that was nice was the spa. It has fantastic staff., can't big them up enough But the food is definitely not 4/5 star. Also the same food, too many flies on the cold food. Always cake and some watermelon. But you would think there would be more choice on a beautiful island like that. So disappointed.Cocktails were bad. The pool was basic. Not enough sunbeds for the guests. Spoke to the manager about it and he offered us wine, but that was not what we wanted, we just wanted to rise our concerns about the food and how run down it was. I have been to a different place before and the food was amazing. This place could be better. Just needs bringing up to date. And better food.
