"The place is well-maintained, clean and organized, just a little bit lacking in communication. Sometimes you have to go to reception because the question cannot be answered over the phone. There are a lot of things to do and places to explore. Maybe a little bit more of an option on the snack bar inside the room or places to buy. Overall, the place itself is a paradise."

What an incredible place! The views, the peace, the sheer beauty, everything was all we wanted and more. The staff are incredibly helpful and the kindest we have ever encountered. Naseem was our island host who felt more like a friend, helpful, attentive and caring. Ravi, the cleaner for our beach villas was faultless! He works so hard and kept everywhere pristine, was always happy and left beautiful decorations on our bed using grass reeds! Puja, our favourite waitress in the market, took care...

I honestly though some of the reviews about this place must be fake, they were all so amazing, but I think they must all be true, because this place is EXCELLENT!

We Spent 9 days in Summer Island and loved every minute. If you get the opportunity. Drop everything and just go.
We arrived to Summer Island via Sea plane ( this was a surprise birthday present), we were delayed 2-3 hours after this it was a fantastic experience.
Greeted by welcome staff at the jeti. We stayed in the sea view villa. It was perfect. It had UK plug sockets, plenty of drinking water, a kettle (might be worth bringin your own coffee).
We dinned in Samuga restaurant everyday...

As first time visitors to the Maldives we weren't sure what to expect but were impressed.
Pros:
Nice clean rooms. We stayed in the garden villas (the cheapest option) and considering the price difference between this and the other options we were extremely impressed and happy with our choice.
Variety of food - we stayed for 10 days and were impressed by the variety of options. We did usually find that the freshly cooked stations, local dishes and curry options were the best.

We chose Coco Bodu Hithi for the second part of our honeymoon. The place is amazing and has all you would expect from a luxury resort in the Maldives. Some of the staff was excellent, others were a bit slow. A few flaws, like e.g. payment upon arrival, the same playlist in the restaurant every day, a very poor guitarist... couldn't ruin the overall great experience we had. But be prepared to pay a lot for everything you do. And you have no alternative.
