Chicken Island Reef

We had an absolutely amazing time – just the way we imagined our honeymoon! The Ifuru Island Resort made it truly special. We stayed in Beach Villa 321, which had a particularly beautiful beach access with a rectangular layout, allowing us to relax comfortably in our private garden. The open-air bathroom and direct beach access were perfect.We were there over Halloween, and the celebrations delighted us – from the foam pool party in the afternoon to the festive dinner and outdoor party in the evening. The whole staff was dressed up and created a great atmosphere.Ravi from Sri Lanka did an outstanding job with housekeeping, and the food at six different venues was excellent. The buffet offered delicious themed nights, and the à la carte restaurants like the Waterfront provided top quality and great service, especially from our waiter Sandesh.Evenings at the Hubba Hubba Bar with live acts like belly dancing, LED and fire shows, plus great service from Sumit and Chamod, were highlights. Our personal buddy Suaid was fantastic and took care of everything.As part of our honeymoon, we enjoyed a complimentary 50-minute couples massage. With all the water sports, snorkeling, and excursions, it’s impossible to get bored. We did two snorkeling trips as beginners – both unforgettable.All in all, two weeks in paradise – the most beautiful vacation of our lives.

Einfach paradiesisch. Ein tolles Hausriff, toller Wellnessbereich. Alles in allem ein perfekter Urlaub.

We had a wonderful stay at Sun Siyam Iru Veli. Everything was very clean and well organized, and the views from our sunset villa were absolutely breathtaking. Watching the sunset from the villa every evening was unforgettable. A special thank you to Naazish, who took care of us during our stay. He fulfilled all our wishes, was always available, and made sure we were comfortable at all times. The housekeeping staff was also amazing - the room was cleaned twice a day and everyone was incredibly kind. The only negative point was the all-inclusive package. Almost all promotional photos show seafood and seafood dishes, but none of that was actually included and had to be paid extra. The only fish included during lunch and dinner was usually one basic type of fish prepared in different ways. We even complained during our stay because it honestly feels misleading and unfair to guests. We asked them if they would expect to eat mainly chicken and beef when going to a tropical island resort by the ocean, and even they agreed the answer was no. They only offered small gestures to calm the situation, which we declined, because we believe changes should apply equally to all guests. At the very least, the hotel should clearly state in the all-inclusive description exactly what is and isn’t included, so guests do not expect seafood to be part of the package because of the marketing photos.
