"Our stay at Siyam World Maldives was nothing short of magical, and we owe a huge part of that to the amazing staff who made our honeymoon truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality, but what really stood out was the incredible service we received from our island ambassador Vanessa and the wonderful team at the Together Bar—especially Divya and Rico. Vanessa was absolutely fantastic. She went above and beyond to ensure that every moment of our stay was smooth, relaxing, and filled with joy. Whether it was organizing activities, making sure our preferences were always taken into account, or just checking in with a warm smile, she made us feel genuinely cared for. Divya and Rico at the Together Bar were equally amazing. Their energy, attentiveness, and positive vibes made every visit a highlight of our day. They took the time to remember our favorite drinks, made great recommendations, and were always up for a friendly chat. It felt like we were hanging out with friends rather than just being served. The beauty of Siyam World speaks for itself—stunning beaches, luxurious villas, and an endless list of things to do—but it’s the people that truly make the experience special. We’re already dreaming of coming back! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a mix of luxury, comfort, and exceptional service in paradise All staff were amazing and polite. Especially Rico, Vanessa and Dyvia. "

"Great experience and staff, only downside was food was kind of mediocre; everything was bland"

"Service, environment, quietness were perfect."

"Amazing. We were back for our 5 year wedding anniversary. They have numerous activities, from which we've enjoyed the most the soft sports ones. They have great parties, and the jungle one was our favorite, and their staff have great shows and the entertainment manager together with his wife are some real acrobats. The food variety is great and the desserts are a challenge to keep your weight in check. The staff from restaurant & bar are friendly and always ready to refill your drinks, you cannot drink as fast as they come for a refill. It was also nice to see the GM involved in some activities and taking time to meet his guests. As sad part, the transfer prices I would say. I don't know if the resort has any input regarding them, but the seaplane transfer for 2 person is as much as 3 full days on the island, which is painful. Also, sometimes you can feel like an outsider, because most of their tourists are speaking German, so the parties and during the day, some of the staff start talking in German and then switch to English when they see your confusion.
