Hello! I’ve been to Sun Siyam Olhuveli for 9 nights in the middle of July 2024 and the whole experience was outstanding. I enjoyed watersports - especially our friendly instructors for wake board and flyboard. (The guy with a drone is simply the best! Sorry I forgot your name my friend) Room service was perfect. Restaurants were great, I enjoyed Siyam Orchid and Telpanyakki with our Balinese Chef the best. Seafood set is amazingly delicious. Keshal from the Sunset Restaurant was of great help and service. But the best part for me was diving center - I did orientation dive with Sinan Uttu and two single dives from morning boat. He made beautiful photos and videos for me and my friend and he was so helpful and fun during our experience. Thank you Sun Siyam Olhuvelli for this perfect trip! :) Read less

One thing that needs to be flagged up is the communication of the FO staffs, I was told by a male receptionist the day before I checked out that someone would be there at 5am the next day to help me with my luggage and that someone would be there to pick me and my child up at 5.30am to go to the front desk to check out.

One thing that needs to be flagged up is the communication of the FO staffs, I was told by a male receptionist the day before I checked out that someone would be there at 5am the next day to help me with my luggage and that someone would be there to pick me and my child up at 5.30am to go to the front desk to check out. The next morning my child and I waited but no one came to pick us up, I called the front desk to confirm but was told by a female staff that I would have to by myself to the station and the shuttle bus would only be waiting for me there. I was very disappointed and with my child to the station on the dark road which is below have very high sea water, when I arrived at the station with my child at 5.36am there was no bus. I was very helpless and my ferry boat time was 6am. I waited until 5.50pm when one of the baggage handlers got me in touch with someone to pick me and my child up. Secondly, the chef who fried the eggs in the restaurant, it was obvious that he treated the customers according to the colour of their skin, when he treated the Chinese he looked very bad, but when he treated the gold color hairs customers it was a different kind of pleasant face, is it because the Chinese pay less money? It's not all negative, the staff in the housekeepering department were very kind and attentive to my room, which is commendable. Read less
