Great place overall, well planned and well maintained. There’s no shortage of activities and venues of all kind for everyone. We enjoyed every bit of our stay The only small thing that worth improving is information sharing from the reception. A couple of times we were told something to receive another info later about discounts, restaurants, transfer etc.

The island is beautiful and well laid out. There is plenty to do and see or lots of places to just chill out. The staff on the island were fantastic. Honestly the best service we have had anywhere. The hotels buffet offerings were exceptional. The resturants near the main hotel are offering good service and great quality food. The only advice I would offer any would be travellers is that if you have a tight budget to find somewhere else.

Most beautiful experience in my lifetime.
I just want to say, thank you so much for all. It is a great place to be on vacation. Beautiful place, great and friendly staff, clean and great food, fast service for everything, highly recommended and highly appreciated. I went many places, Cancun, Punta Cana, Jamaica, Aruba, Florida, and more but SAII Maldives is highest rated and most beautiful experience in my lifetime. If you want to go vacation don’t spend money on any other place. Just be smart.

Sehr schöne tropisch angelegte Anlage, mit abwechslungsreichen Möglichkeiten. Die verschiedenen Strände sind traumhaft, werden allerdings durch die (stellenweise richtig hässliche) Aussicht auf Bautürme oder andere Industriemasten, der naheliegenden Inseln verdorben. Man muss schon alle drei Inseln rundherum abgehen, um die schönsten Stellen zu finden. Ein Strandbungalow oder eine Wasservilla unbedingt nur an der unteren Südreihe, mit Blick nach Süden wählen, sonst ist Enttäuschung vorprogrammiert. Die nördliche Inselseite wird begrenzt durch die Insel mit dem Hard Rock Hotel und die dahinführende Brücke. Abends ist das ganz schön anzusehen, da alles beleuchtet ist, aber tagsüber sicher nicht die Aussicht, die man sich auf den Malediven vorstellt. Der Strandabschnitt an sich ist zwar sehr schön, und eignet sich auch gut für Wasseraktivitäten oder für einen Strandsparziergang aber zum Sonnen hat dort nie jemand gelegen. Wenn man in der Nachsaison, zwischen Mai und Oktober kommt, muss man öfter mit schlechten Wetter rechnen, was eben doch nicht immer schnell vorbeigeht. Von 7 Tagen hatten wir 3 Tage komplett mit Starkregen und heftigem Wind. Da die gesamte Anlage offen gehalten ist, man sich dann aber unmöglich draußen aufhalten kann, sollte man sich (mangels anderer Angebote vom Hotel) mit gutem Lesestoff o.ä. ausstatten. Auch schließen immer mehr Restaurants, Shops und Aktivitäten, je weiter man in die Nachsaison kommt. Das wird leider im Vorfeld nicht kommuniziert.
