My husband and I had 8 nights on Summer Island Village for our honeymoon after spending the 1st week on the Atoll Explorer. On our travels, we visited Kurumba (one of the other islands in the Maldives), it was beautiful but had more of a complex type feel from what we saw. Anyone who visits Summer Island Village will agree... more

Just got back from SIV and had a wonderfully relaxed holiday. We arrived in Male at 11 am and had to wait 3 hours for the seaplane - which was quite frustrating as we were very hot and tired, but they had to wait for passengers from another flight. The seaplane was fantastic - the sights of the turquoise ocean... more

My wife and I flew from Glasgow to Male via Dubai with Emirates and I have to say this air carrier is like no other!! Service was great, food was great, drink was great and entainment was great. But this is a review on Summer island village so i will move on. On arriving at the island we were amazed... more

This was my first trip to the maldives and I really didnt know what to expect but I must say we really enjoyed our two weeks at SIV. Me and my fiance are in our 20s and the only thing we found is that we did get bored at times but it is only because we are used to being... more

We have never been to the Maldives before and it has long been on my list of places to visit. It lived up to my expectations! Accommodation was basic but absolutely fit for purpose, air conditioning was efficient, rooms were cleaned once per day but then staff re-visited to turn the bed down in the evening. View of the Indian... more

Rooms are basic but cleaned daily, what else do you need when you have the best beach and sea on you doorstep. Stayed in water bungalow, basic compared to other islands and agree don't look from outside the best but you could watch amazing sunsets from your balcony and always a perfect breeze. Fish were great around the island for... more

Food ok not much choice, rooms basic but clean, snokeling ok, diving better, dico music on saturday night if you like that kind of thing, drinks ok, lots of Germens but most of them ok...lol, Male is good safe and good food places, no insect problems. more

I totally agree with absjam. It's not all negative but this Island really needs a shake up. The snorkelling here was wonderful and I thoroughly loved my holiday to the extent that I was trying to get hold of my rep to add another week to my trip. The reason I wanted to stay was for the ocean and the... more

Well needless to say we were a litlte worried about going SIV, just because of the very mixed reviews that people have written. We booked the holiday in January 2009 and had literally been saving up ever since. We travelled by boat rather than sea plane, and yes I did get soaked through because it was a bit choppy but... more
