Beyond the sheer beauty of the Maldives, what made staying at Soneva Jani forever memorable as a guest is the exceptional quality of service provided by their hosts and their genuine friendliness. This was my very first time in the Maldives and, without a doubt, I will be returning to Soneva Jani next time.

WOW. I mean just wow. From the seaplane ride over it just takes your breath away. This property is unmatched! We have been to Maldives before but never here. We are coming here from now on. They raised the bar. Our host was Ashab and he was absolutely wonderful! Everyone at this hotel, the staff, room service, housekeeping, was absolutely lovely. The property is so spectacular I have no words for it. It's indescribable. We loved the dining/movie theatre experience. We loved our slide in our villa Swing yourself from your bar on your slide to get momentum and keep in mind the slide has to be really wet. The food was exquisite. Leave all those fancy shoes at home, the property encourages you to go barefoot. Also plastic water bottles are banned (yay). They do everything they can to protect this beautiful ocean! This was probably our favorite vacation. Worth every penny! It's expensive but worth it!

I have to agree the resort itself looks beautiful, especially with slides. However,other than the slide, everything else is mediocre at best. For a similar rate, I would recommend Cheval Blanc.
