“Sublime”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

My wife and I just returned from 8 nights at the Sheraton Full Moon Resort in the Maldives and WOW what an experience.
First let me compliment GM Ursula Schoefl and her team for taking every opportunity to ensure our time at the resort was as enjoyable as possible. From the moment we were greeted at the reception centre we were made to feel special.
We choose a water bungalow and we were not disappointed with the experience. We travel regularly and have experienced the grand suite, rooms a stone’s throw from the ocean etc, but the water bungalow is another experience all into itself. Being able to enjoy the sea life at your doorsteps and always just being a few steps to a swim really was quite something.
The island is small so don’t expect much action, in fact, plan for an early morning swim, a nice breakfast, a blissful day, a great dinner and an early evening and the best thing is you get to do it all again the next day.
The diving in the area is amazing and I went three times, my wife enjoyed the spa so we both won. The dive shop on the property is first class and the experience was memorable – seeing a huge manta ray in the wild was amazing. Chris and Andrea at European Divers will take care of you; they welcome divers of all experience levels.
Finally the food – well it does not disappoint. The Anchorage bar is great, with fish feedings every evening and wines of the world (3 glasses for $15) as a special treat. Dining was amazing, Sea Salt is an experience you will soon not forget, Baan Thai has the most amazing noodle salad and the Sand Coast for lunch was always rewarding. Feast was our normal spot for breakfast and it didn’t disappoint. The manager’s cocktail party for SPG members is a nice touch.
Being from North America I was worried we would travel to the other side of the world only to find an experience similar to what I might find in the Caribbean. This was not the case; the Full Moon in the Maldives really is a wonderful place.

Room Tip: Go for the water bungalow!

“amazing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 2, 2012

The hotel, services, ocean and that heavenly beach.. everything was perfect!
We stayed at a cottage on the beach and there was a garden-bathroom in our cottage. the atmosphere was good. The facility, actually the island is quiet peacefull. No animations, no music, no lights at night, extremely natural and relaxing environment. I definitely recommend this hotel to everyone..

“Excellent”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 30, 2012

The hotel was amazing, I went there for my honeymoon and I was enjoying it so much. The water bungalow was private and an extraordinary experience. The only concern is the limited options for lunch and dinner

Hello and thank you for choosing to stay with us at Sheraton - it was great to have you here with us.
With a selection of four restaurants, it is disappointing to read that we were not able to cater to your likes - for your next visit, we would be happy to help to arrange a specific menu to meet your requirements, just let us know.
Our dining options are .. Feast; our all day dining restaurant (buffet), Baan Thai; our Thai restaurant open for dinner, Sand Coast; an a la carte beach side restaurant open for lunch & dinner and Sea Salt; our signature steak and seafood restaurant open for dinner. Additionally, Anchorage Bar; serving all day snacks and Sheraton Social Hour each evening as well as in room dining.
I agree with you - our Water Bungalows are magical, it is an amazing experience to stay atop the ocean.
Thanks for your feedback and regards .. Ursula.

“Heaven in the middle of the Indian Ocean”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 28, 2012

Both me and my wife visited this resort for our honeymoon. We stayed here 10 days....and what can I say- amazing. Staff were the friendliest that I've ever seen...saying hello when they pass and bring keen to help.

Rooms were very clean...as was the beech and the rest of the resort. They appear to have more staff than visitors who are constantly cleaning the resort....combing the beaches, rooms, pools, etc. Something that I actually wasn't expecting.

Food prices were higher than expected, but not over the top. Makes sense...they're in the middle of the ocean so it's bound to be a little more.

Loved every second and would love to visit again!

“Awesome property”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 26, 2012

visited Sheraton full moon resort during Oct 12, the place is one of the best we had vacationed.
clear water and manicure lawns. good range of restaurants/bars. We stayed in the water villa and the beach cottage, both have their own unique features. if you have a chance do stay at both the rooms. The buffet has various themes, the day we had dinner they had sea food as the theme, was disappointed to see barbecued fish and a sea food fried rice as the only dishes.
The breakfast was good, with a wide range from freshly made pancakes, omelette, waffles and others. the rooms are very well designed and kept very clean. The outdoor shower in beach cottage is very touch.

Room Tip: Avoid the buffet for meals. You have better options and VFM in the ala crate menu.
