For the whole service of guardian, I should say that good. The two of them really want to give us good experience of this trip. However the environment of this island is really bad. I have been Maldive for three times but this island is the most expensive and worst one. Dirty glass mosquitoes,flys, dirty ocean with green color rather than clean and blue color

I am not one to write a lot of reviews BUT I will make a very special exception this time around. I will keep it brief....THIS PLACE IS OUT OF THIS WORLD! that said I will provide a bit more details but will keep it succinct. traveled to Soneva w/ my wife on August 19th and stayed for 8 nights at Soneva Jani Chapter 2. We stayed at Water Reserve villa w/ water slide ( Villa #97). Our barefoot butler was Ashab and our Villa Attendant was Butcha. what an incredible team. they looked out after us in every sense of the word. anything and everything we needed / wanted they were there. So big KUDOS to them for such an incredible experience. Here our rankings ( from 1-10 ): locale - 10 service and accommodations - 10 culinary experience - 10 spa treatment area - 10 quality and bang for the buck - 10 ( now this place is NOT cheap BUT its worth the price if you are to book the newer Chapter 2 accommodations ) restaurants and choices - 10 weather - 7 ( august is a bit wet.. but we had 5 solid days of sun and others were mainly rainy ) sustainability focus - 10 ( the place is very focus on recycling and keeping healthy environment ) I could go on but in the end this is the BEST place we have ever stayed at and we are looking to come back in 2023... will look to stay at their first resort in Maldives which is the original Soneva Fushi. THIS IS A MUST and we FULLY recommended! Thank you to ALL of the Soneva Staff which made our stayed an incredible and unforgettable one.... cheers!…

Shafana (our host) has been very sweet & helpful from the time we arrived at Soneva Jani and sat in her buggy. She has made Soneva Jani a wonderful experience. My wife and I came as 2 people but are leaving the resort with a family. Everyone from Shafana, Manas, the chef at down to earth (gathering), the manager (Hussein), himmat and the support staff. Everyone made Soneva Jani more than what the pictures describe it to be.

This is a difficult review write. I have wanted to stay here since Soneva first began popping up all over Facebook. The natural beauty is transcendent and hard to fathom even while you’re looking at it. This resort must have been breathtaking when it was new but at 7 years old, it’s already showing wear and tear. We stayed in Chapter 1. It is designed to look rustic and barefoot chic so that aids somewhat in the aesthetics but there are obvious things that need to be addressed like rusting fixtures in all common areas, ceiling fans that barely work, missing electrical covers all throughout the main restaurant, rotten/missing boards on buildings and walkways, peeling paint, one of the folding glass doors to the deck of our villa didn’t open at all because it was rusted shut, and myriad other things like that. I have done hundreds of hours of research while planning this trip and have seen countless videos on this resort so I know how it used to look. When things break, they seem to be replaced with whatever is available rather than what was there before. A prime example is the glass floor cutouts. I have seen several places where there should have been glass floors but I assume they broke at some point and they were replaced with wood. I checked out Chapter 2 and the buildings are beautiful and new, but the water is not good. I knew that beforehand so we went with Chapter 1 because we love pretty water. Overall, the resort was ok. I came in with tempered expectations after reading all the 1-3 star reviews from last year. This time last year, I think their Trip Advisor rating was about 4.2. Now they have a 5.0 rating because if you write an honest review less than 4 stars, they offer to let you stay there again for free if you remove your review. I know that because it happened to me. So please do not be fooled into thinking you will definitely have a 5-star experience. Obviously, many people do but if you come here expecting the same resort you see on their website and marketing materials, you will be disappointed. I knew it was overpriced and I accepted that I was paying for the beauty of the water, not the buildings. With those lowered expectations, I enjoyed our 1-bedroom water retreat with slide. It was huge and way more space than we needed. The water slides haven’t been maintained so it’s hard to slide down them. The gel coats are long gone so the friction stops you halfway down. They need to be waxed or better yet, totally stripped and restored. We took the hand soap from the bathroom and soaped up our backsides before going down every time, but I felt bad about wasting soap. If I had known about this issue, I probably would have brought car wax from home and tried that. While walking around, I saw other people having the same problem, so it wasn’t just our slide. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. Towels are nice and thick and there are plenty of them. Our butler was nice but the staff in general are not very friendly and indifferent for the most part. There were some who were very friendly, but they were the exception. The Manager and two marine biologists were very friendly. We came from Ozen Maadhoo before this resort and were floored by their service. With the Soneva price tag, I thought the service here would be mind-blowing but that was not the case. Most employees didn’t seem to want to be here and hardly anyone spoke or waved to me unless I engaged them first. We were very impressed with Ozen and they were all-inclusive so check them out too. I liked the food. We had the half board plan and that was more than enough. If you get hungry during the day, there is a free charcuterie room as well as ice cream and chocolate. There were lots of activities to keep us busy during the day. I got a free eBike brought to the room and they’re really fast when you turned the batteries on, so I explored the island on that. Just like with everything else though, the bike was rusted and the battery stopped working half way through my ride one day. They sent someone to fix it the next day but it was a nuisance that it didn't work. As I mentioned, I did tons of research before booking. I did that because I wanted a room with beautiful views that looked like their website. I looked at Google Earth to get an aerial view and see which areas had the best water. Then I cross referenced that with a resort map I found online so I could see which room numbers I wanted. I emailed the resort and asked if it was possible to request certain room numbers. They said they’d try but couldn’t promise. I was very pleasantly surprised when we arrived and I got the exact room number I wanted. Thank you to Soneva for making that happen. I ended up with the room they used for their promotional material and the water is pristine. I have gotten hundreds of comments on Facebook from jealous friends wanting to know where we were because the water is stunning. They require you to book the seaplane through the resort. It is twice as expensive as booking it yourself because they’re supposed to have a private plane that transports you. I have seen a video of it and it really is first class. I was told the plane isn’t working because of unexpected maintenance. As I have asked around the resort, nobody seems to know about a private plane, so I don’t know the last time it worked. Or maybe the people I asked just don’t pay attention to what kind of plane brings the guests, which I could understand. They now contract the flights with Manta Air. That would be fine if they reduced the price because the Manta planes are not comparable to the custom, first class Soneva plane. Manta planes are perfectly fine but they’re not the luxury transfer you’re paying for. Buried on the FAQ page of the Soneva website it says that if you don’t fly on their plane, you get a $300 per person resort credit. I intentionally didn’t ask anyone about it when we arrived because I wanted to see if they were going to offer it to me. They didn’t. I had to inquire somewhat vigorously to get the credits. The point of this is that I strongly suspect most customers are not flying on the private plane and not getting the credit so please make sure you get yours. That is the most useful pointer I can give you in this review. I completely understand this resort is built in a harsh marine environment that takes a heavy toll on man-made construction. But with the rates they charge, I was disappointed by all the deferred maintenance and broken things we encountered. I expected everything to be pristine and that simply wasn’t the case. The natural beauty is the star of the show here. The lagoon is world-class and it's hard to believe what you're seeing. The physical resort just hasn't been maintained to the level I was anticipating. This is not meant as a malicious or scathing review. I just want people to know what they're getting into. I work hard and spent what I consider a lot of money for a once in a lifetime trip and these were my takeaways so I hope my review helps others. In summary, book this resort with low expectations, know the water is beautiful in Chapter 1, do your homework to get a room with a good view, don’t expect 5-star service, realize the resort is not as beautiful as it once was, and know it’s overpriced and you’re paying for the views. If you can do this, I think you will be happy.…

First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Sonu for creating such a unique resort. It provided us with an opportunity to escape the busy and complicated world, reconnect with nature, and enjoy every luxury imaginable. The entire staff at the resort exuded energy and a genuine willingness to assist. As guests, we always felt warmly welcomed. Special thanks to our Barefoot Butler Vicktoriia, Resort Manager Jo, Guardian of the Experience Eddie, Director Cut's head chef, and the talented chef responsible for the heavenly almond croissant, among others. Our experience at The Lost World of Soneva was one of the highlight of our lives. From the moment we were greeted at the airport to our departure, everything was meticulously organised with great attention to detail. We were able to fully immerse ourselves in the experience without a worry. However, I would like to mention a few minor imperfections that I believe could help the resort improve and become even more exceptional. Firstly, Soneva did not inform the transit hotel in Male, where we stayed the night before our arrival, about the seaplane schedule, despite my multiple emails to confirm the details. During our stay, we purchased the HB package. Initially, we found the menu selection a bit confusing, and the staff occasionally removed our menus from the table, causing some discomfort. However, after addressing the issue with the head chef, the resort quickly adjusted and rectified the problem. We stayed in Chapter 1 Villa No.8, which boasted a stunning and undisturbed ocean view. However, the depth of the seawater was insufficient for the slide, particularly for my 195cm tall husband, making it unsafe for him to slide without risking injury. We raised this concern with the General Manager and to our butler, who promptly offered us Villa No.16 as an alternative. Instead, we decided to upgrade to the chapter 2 Villa No.92, which was perfect. Chapter 2 provided us with a larger and newer villa, complete with the ideal water depth for the slide. Lastly, we fell short of our expectations was the weekly program flyer. During our stay, we unfortunately discovered that the flyer was not updated in a timely manner. As a result, we were unaware of the upcoming activities and events until midday Monday, which limited our ability to plan and fully enjoy the resort's offerings. Overall, we are truly enamoured with the Soneva brand. We can't wait return to this breathtaking paradise.…

We stayed 4 nights here and i must say, Soneva Jani has set such a high standard for our 1st Maldive trip!! What we loved : 1. The villa!! The view, the pool, the slides, the audio system, the bed, the kitchen/pantry...it's perfect for us. 2. The breakfast!! the quality and variety of both the food and beverages are amazing. TBH, if you're not a big eater, go for half board meal plan will do because you will be spoilt with options during the breakfast. The not so nice part 1. I wish i'm not such a huge magnet to the mozzies as i got bitten everywhere except inside the villa. But my partner didn't get a single bite 2. The water is pretty shallow over at chapter 2 villas and you will hardly see any fishes Our barefoot guardian, Elsa had done her very best in attending to our needs and requests and we can't be more thankful to have her with us throughout our stay. I must say, the Soneva Jani experience comes with a very hefty price tag. But will i come back again? Absolutely!…

Dear Frenzzsg, Warm Greetings from Soneva Jani Resort! Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We are thrilled that our beautiful island has set such a high standard for your first trip to the Maldives. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with our Trip Advisor followers. We're delighted to know that you loved our iconic overwater villas inspired by nature and built to accentuate the beauty of their idyllic island location, the expansion pool terraces commanding exceptional ocean views, waterslides which plunge straight to the lagoon and the other rare features as well which are unique to Soneva. Also, we are glad you enjoyed our breakfast offerings' quality, variety, and abundance of food and beverages. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the mosquitoes during your stay. While we make efforts to control their presence using sustainable methods, it can vary depending on individual susceptibility. Nonetheless, we appreciate your feedback and will continue to improve our measures to minimise them around the island. The water depth and fish visibility at our South Jetty depend on the monsoon, and I am sorry that during your stay with us, the water level was pretty shallow, and you did not encounter marine life from your villa. We're delighted to read that Elsa, your dedicated Barefoot Guardian, provided excellent service and catered to your needs throughout your stay. We will pass on your kind words of appreciation to her. We understand that the Soneva Jani experience comes with a premium price tag, and we appreciate your willingness to return despite that. It means a lot to us that you value the exceptional experience we aim to provide. Once again, thank you for choosing Soneva Jani and sharing your memorable experience. We look forward to welcoming you back for another remarkable stay in the future. Best Regards Eddie Teh General Manager
