Overall Ratings & Reviews Summer Island Maldives

Food vas various and good quality. Beach is a dream. The service at the hotel. Free water and a fridge in the room. Great aircondition. Beachbeds and towels belong to each apartment. Perfect for friends and couples. The prices on the island is little bit too high.

I had the BEST time at the Summer Island Maldives. Everything was seamless from transfers to food. Absolutely perfect for solo travellers like myself. I had a Superior Bungalow which was unreal and I was fortunate enough to get upgraded to a water bungalow which was a great experience! All staff were amazing and work so hard to keep the island looking pristine. Food was great, I was half board and enjoyed every meal. Prices at the bar was reasonable too for lunch. Only small feedback is for the shop to have more snacks but everything else was PERFECT!!

Amazing experience, however I was not satisfied with the dining options in the AVI restaurant given that we paid extra for the water villa upgrade. Saying that the buffet at HIYA restaurant was definitely the better option

It wasn't crowded, quite private

Beautiful island and absolutely beautiful beaches but management is horrible

Overall we had a great time. The only issue we faced was with Reception / Front Desk that was an absolute disaster. The only thing they could do is to book you for the free daily snorkelling trip or to charge your credit card. They were not able (or even worse, did not want to!) handle other questions/queries. Our check-in was extremely slow considering that they had to do the check-in only for 2 rooms. As for the mandatory Christmas Gala Dinner (140 USD/person), we were shocked to realise that not even a glass of wine or beer was included in this hefty price. The bill for the Christmas Gala Dinner had to be settled ahead of Christmas Eve, which is a complete lack of trust toward their ‘Valued Guests’ (as they call them). It was also unclear for us how it was possible that for guests on all board types (including bed & breakfast) the sum of the Gala Dinner was exactly the same. This meant that guests on half board or full board had to pay twice for their dinner on 24 December. When I raised this point with Front Desk they did not even understand the point I was making. Very poor indeed!

Really worth your money. Had the most amazing time exploring the island and snorkelling

Very quiet and clean just wish it had more to do at night and there was no room service which was very upset for late night eaters

The staff are amazing. They were very accommodating without us having to ask they gave us a late checkout. They also did a happy honeymoon setup for us free of charge as well as a happy birthday setup a few days later without me asking which was a lovely gesture.

Everything about our stay here was just wonderful from beginning to end - if I could give the resort 10 stars I would. The staff all were absolutely amazing - so friendly, always smiling, and nothing was too much trouble. Go - just go!

It was wonderful

Stayed for 10 nights in the water villa, the island is a paradise where me and my wife found peace, quiet and relaxation, perfect honeymoon destination

Muy linda la cabaña sobre el agua, excelentes playas, excelente atención y riquisimas comidas, 10 puntos

The team at Summer Island were absolutely wonderful, doing everything with a smile. This is the place for ultimate relaxation (enough activities for you not to be bored if that’s your preference or sit and stare at the beauty of the property). We thoroughly enjoyed this experience and didn’t want to leave!

wonderful reef around, clean property and beautiful views!

Friendly staff, great food, amazing location but poor wifi

Amazing place, a piece of heaven. There is nothing here not to like. Charming staff who will give you the opportunity to think about nothing else but to immerse yourself in carefree everyday life. The rooms, services, food and of course the diving center deserve 5 stars. We were also pleasantly surprised by the not bad (for the Maldives) free internet on the island. A place we will definitely visit again.

Exceptional last-minute booking turned into one of my best decisions ever! Saud efficiently organized the seaplane, aligning with my schedule. Arrival was greeted with a refreshing drink, timely check-in, and assistance to my room. Opted for half board with a superior vista room featuring an outdoor shower, spacious balcony, and king-size bed. Thanks to being an Expedia gold member, the day after my birthday, a water villa upgrade became available, transforming my Maldivian experience. The villa was magical, with ocean waves lulling me to sleep and stunning sunrise views. For my birthday, a Stars and Sands dinner on the beach was breathtaking, with impeccable service from Rafiq and a surprise birthday cake. A spa massage with a good birthday discount was blissful. Taking advantage of the February wine discount, Rafiq delivered a bottle to my room. Dining experiences varied, with delicious options at both the buffet and Hiya restaurant. While Hiya lunches were pricey, the bar offered more affordable alternatives. Breakfast at Hiya, especially Rabeel's omelettes, was a highlight. Rafiq's exceptional service and Adi's friendly demeanor at the bars added to the experience. The pristine beach with designated sun loungers and clear turquoise ocean was perfect for snorkeling. Although the souvenir shop was pricey, the overall experience was paradise on earth. Summer Maldives provided a memorable trip I'm still talking about weeks later!

My stay was great here, staff very friendly and helpful. I stayed in the sunset water villa with half board dining, I cannot give any negative feedback except things are extremely expensive if you’re not all inclusive. If you want Crystal clear ocean, this is the place.

Summer Island is a really well-run, friendly, and accommodating resort. It’s mostly a relaxing/luxury environment but had all the water sports and diving that you would look for plus ping pong, badminton, volley ball and a gym. Everything was well-explained. The island is thoughtfully designed to provide many different beach aspects as you go around; much is made of the sunset side being better but I wouldn’t worry as all rooms have interesting views/aspects and you can move around the beach no problem anyway. Guests seem split between couples celebrating (all ages), couples on breaks, and a few parent/child couples and a few young families. We were full board in the Hiya restaurant and the food, ambience and service was genuinely excellent. We also did a yoga class at sunset and the spa seemed relaxing and good; the location is stunning at sunset. All in all this was a very relaxing and reliable experience, having us asking “if we return to the Maldives, would we risk anywhere else?” as it was exactly the luxury relaxing break we were after.
