Soneva Jani

Excellent service and a wonderful environment.

Perfect for families with children. We stayed for 4 nights and it felt too short; next time we'll definitely book a longer stay.

Satisfied. Facilities: Complete Hygiene: Clean

The environment is indeed beautiful, with few people and great scenery, and the service is excellent, with a car and butler always available. However, the seaplane service was a rip-off. I initially thought it was the hotel's own plane, which explained the high price, but it turned out to be using a third-party operator. They didn't even provide earplugs for the flight from Malé. When I asked the hotel, they said they hadn't promised to use their own plane, which left a bad impression. I doubt they'll have any repeat customers.

The entire resort is exceptionally well-integrated with environmental protection; most of the vegetables come from their own organic farm, and the seawater is absolutely beautiful, rain or shine! The hotel staff were all wonderful—friendly and talkative. A special thank you to Valencia for their professional and enthusiastic service; their arrangements for everything from deep-sea fishing and dolphin watching to the various restaurants were impeccable, ensuring a wonderful vacation on the island. Sovena will definitely be my first choice again next time—highly recommended!

The hotel has a 24-hour all-you-can-eat ice cream bar, as well as a simple all-day salad bar. There's also a sunset cocktail hour every Monday, where guests can enjoy some barbecue snacks.

Pros: The rooms are nicer than other hotels; the island reception was good upon arrival. Cons: 1. The scenery is average compared to other Maldives hotels I've visited. 2. The food is terrible (this is something you'll have to experience for yourself). In particular, I ordered fruit, but it wasn't even chilled. Shockingly, in such a hot place, this lacks such a nice touch. 3. The reception was terrible, even after arriving at the airport. At least there's a place to sit down when you get off at the Four Seasons, but there wasn't even one here. When I was leaving, the airport told me it would take 45 minutes to check in, but the hotel sent me to the airport at 10:20. Does that mean I can't check in without a tip? 4. The water activities at this hotel are average, ending earlier than at other hotels, and there's no evening entertainment. Overall: With such a high reputation, it's a complete waste of time. I'd rather spend less and go to the new Marriott.

There are a lot of mosquitoes, food is too expensive, and the sea is beautiful.
