The staff (especially Ibrahim in the main restaurant) were so attentive to not just us, but everyone! Ibrahim ensured we had a fantastic dining experience and even was great at entertaining our daughter. The sun villa was standard and very dated, so we decided to upgrade to beach pool villa. We just wish we had done it sooner as it was gorgeous! The only downside is that the hotel isn't really designed for babies: the cot we had was quite dangerous as our daughter bumped her head on the wood sticling out inside it, then the replacement we had the mattress didn't fit the cot properly as it was too small which is a suffocation hazard, and there were only 3 baby bike seats on the whole island so we could only use the bikes on the last day which was a shame. Would definitely return but only when our daughter is older 😊

We recently had the privilege of staying at Villa Park Sun Island Maldives, and it was nothing short of magical. The moment you step onto this island, you're enveloped by its natural beauty - the lush vegetation, the white sandy beaches, and those crystal-clear waters that you've only seen in pictures until now. The accommodation was phenomenal; we stayed in one of the Villas with a private pool, and it felt like our own little slice of paradise. The design was both elegant and comfortable, blending seamlessly with the environment. The sunset views from the Sunset Water Villas we saw were breathtaking, and we are definitely considering them for our next visit. Dining here was a culinary journey. From savouring traditional Maldivian dishes at the local restaurants to the exquisite Thai restaurant , every meal felt special. However, we did notice that sometimes the buffet could use a bit more variety to keep the excitement of the palate alive. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive, making our stay genuinely enjoyable. They had this perfect balance of being there when you needed them but also giving you the space to enjoy your solitude. Overall, Villa Park Sun Island is a dream destination. It's got everything you could want for a Maldivian escape with just a little room for enhancement in the dining experience and island navigation. We are already planning our return!

The room needed to be updated but was very clean and efficient. The island is terrific with more great beaches than most islands. The Manta Rays swimming around the Italian restaurant was fantastic. We were pleased with the food and drinks on the All-inclusive Plan. The resort lived up to all our expectations and more. The snorkelling here was not up to our previous Maldives resorts but the beaches were better. The staff was also terrific, every single one.

Villa park - sun island was a lovely resort! The staff really made it perfect. Mannan the buggy driver was excellent. Showed us around the whole island, recommended things to see and do! Went above and beyond. My husband developed a headache and Mannan went out of his way to bring us paracetamol to our room, perfect service! Rakesh the chef in the southern star restaurant was lovely. Always happy to help and make something fresh, breakfast lunch and dinner - perfect food, conversation and service every time! All the staff we encountered were happy and friendly. Only thing I would mention - is the island has a lot to offer! If you don’t hear from your host - make sure you request the daily itinerary.

Great gateaway!

Villa Park Sun Island was a refreshing experience. My husband and I had a lovely honeymoon with various experiences offered. There were water activities, spa services, and activities such as badminton, paddle ball, table tennis, billiards, etc. We were full board so breakfast, lunch, and dinner were included at certain times. Employees were extremely friendly and accommodating. Some suggestions I would recommend are adding bells to the bikes they offer to rent. It becomes difficult to navigate on the path when people, carts, and other bikes are all sharing the road. I would also suggest illuminating the signs with the room numbers. At night, the island is peaceful and lite with dim lights, however, it becomes hard to find the rooms without a flashlight. Another suggestion would be telling your room number at the dining hall so no confusions happen. The day of checkout my husband and I did not know lunch wasn't included. Although the staff was very friendly to remove any charge, we should have been informed at check in that it would not be included. We were only told a checkout time and what time to be at the jetty to leave via boat. Also, the food became a little repetitive after the first few days. Overall, great trip! 4/5
