My daughter and I have just spent a wonderful week at Sun Siam Iru Vellum made possible by an excellent Dr Ahmed at the resort clinic. I have a heart condition but was given the all clear by my consultant to go on holiday. However, despite all the assistance given me by the staff I slipped transferring from the boat to the dock and badly scrapped my leg on the dock. I was taken straight to the clinic where the care given me by Dr Ahmed was second to none. Due to the accident my blood pressure and heart rate were also high. Dr Ahmed monitored me daily both heart and leg. As a result of his care I was able to fully enjoy all the activities. Snorkelling was brilliant, we were able to go straight from our villa as well as going on trips to other coral reefs seeing lots of different fish, a turtle and baby reef sharks. The choice of food was excellent and we enjoyed all three restaurants which served a variety of dishes. The fish served in Grouper is definitely to be recommended. But most importantly without the ongoing care of Dr Ahmed we would not have been able to enjoy ourselves as we did and I am extremely grateful to him. Read less

Maldives is one of the most beautiful places we've visited. Sun Siyam Iruveli is a top notch resort and offers a lot of water activities. They have beach villas on east as well as west side. The ones on the western side offer a better view. All the rooms - water villas as well as beach villas - are spacious and have 2 single cots in addition to the king size bed. The bathrooms are huge, but the beach villas have open bathrooms (meaning they have no roof). If you plan to take the guided snorkeling trip, I suggest taking the gear from the diving centre at least a day in advance and practising at the private pool. The dolphin cruise takes up a lot of time on the boat and you get to spend only about 10 mins watching them, if you get to see them at all. We got to see them on the second trip. Special thanks to our ambassador Shakeeb for arranging the second trip. Book for atleast a week if you want to explore everything the resort has to offer. The buffet options at Aqua Orange are varied, but Indian items are limited. So those who are very particular about their food may be disappointed. Otherwise it's great. We look forward to visiting again soon! Read less
