Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa

I am still staying at the hotel as I write this review, and while I want to emphasize that around 90% of the hotel staff are genuinely kind and helpful, unfortunately the same cannot be said for the management and reception team. Before booking, I noticed that the Marriott Bonvoy website was constantly showing fluctuating prices. I ended up booking a BB rate, expecting that the hotel might be able to help me upgrade to all-inclusive upon arrival. However, that was not the case. The attitude I encountered at reception was quite dismissive, almost as if saying, “You’re already stuck on the island, you have no choice.” Everything seems to revolve around squeezing as much money as possible from guests. Even when I offered to pay the price difference for the current all-inclusive rate I saw online, the response I received was, “Well, you should have booked that rate beforehand. This is the price now.” I found that very unaccommodating, especially from a hotel brand that operates year-round—not just seasonally for a few months. Prices on the island are incredibly high. For example, bike rentals are $80/day, a simple bowl of noodles is $45, and on top of that, there is a 10% service charge and 17% government tax. While I understand this is a luxury destination, there should still be a degree of flexibility and customer care—especially for loyal guests. Lastly, I kindly suggest reminding some of the reception staff that they are not the owners of the hotel. A bit more humility and a guest-oriented attitude would go a long way in improving the overall experience.

This is my first time visiting the Maldives, and I truly made the right decision by choosing to stay at the Sheraton. I felt happiness the moment I stepped off the speedboat and was warmly welcomed by the staff waiting to greet me. It was a feeling of warmth that is hard to describe. Throughout the 5 nights I stayed here, I felt like I was at home. Every staff member interacted with the guests, always asking if we were doing well whenever we crossed paths. It made my heart feel even fuller. I would like to give a special thank to Mr. Siraj, room attendant who took care of my room during my entire stay. He kept the room spotlessly clean, just like home, and always asked if I needed anything extra. He truly showed exceptional care for the guests. You should value and retain such an outstanding employee. If possible, I will definitely return. This has become one of my dreams come true — visiting the Maldives and staying at this hotel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

We absolutely loved our stay at Sheraton Maldives. I am a Lifetime Titanium member and this is our favorite Marriott property ever. The over-water bungalow was very clean with comfortable beds and beautiful views. It was so relaxing to go to the pool and beach and all of the staff was amazing. Ali and Shafeeg at Anchorage Bar and pool were very attentive and very helpful. The breakfast buffet is great with lots of choices and wonderful pastries. Sea Salt and Baan Thai both had great food and special thanks to Ana, Sadun and Phailin! We did lots of watersports activities including snorkeling/sandbar, parasailing, paddleboards, kayaking and dolphin cruise and they were all great! Chef Max and Chef Chamara and their team was great. The staff took time to say hello everyday. We did water aerobics, tennis, gym, karaoke and sip and paint with the Recreation Team and they were great and it made our trip really fun. A very special thank you to all of the management team for making our stay extra special. We will definitely be back again soon.

My daughter and I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort from July 19-23, 2025, and it was truly unforgettable. I'd like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Ajay Sharma, Director of Operations, and his exceptional team for their personalized attention and care, especially considering my recent cancer treatment. They went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and made my daughter's graduation trip even more special with thoughtful touches like the best wishes cake and beautifully decorated room. It's clear that Sheraton's commitment to excellence is evident in every detail, and Mr. Ajay's leadership is a shining example of this. The local excursions they recommended added the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure to our stay. We'll enthusiastically recommend Sheraton to friends, family, and colleagues as the premier choice for hospitality. Thank you again for an incredible experience!

We went for our honeymoon. Our guest relations person Salwa was very helpful. It’s a beautiful property, the rooms are comfortable and clean and the food is just incredible. The only thing that can be better is if they can designate a place for couples because the newlyweds are more comfortable without kids around. Also, scarecrows can be helpful with the birds flying around creating trouble for the house guests. |It was overall a wonderful experience to stay at the water villa. It’s private and a perfect getaway.

We recently had the most amazing stay at Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa, and it truly exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning natural beauty of the island—crystal-clear waters, powdery white sand, and lush tropical surroundings. The resort itself is immaculate, beautifully designed, and incredibly well-maintained. Every corner feels like a postcard come to life. Our room was spotless, stylish, and offered breathtaking views that made every morning feel magical. What made the experience truly unforgettable, though, was the exceptional staff. Every team member we encountered was warm, welcoming, and genuinely committed to making my stay perfect. Their attention to detail, kindness, and professionalism made me feel right at home. From relaxing by the beach to enjoying delicious meals and exploring the vibrant marine life, every moment was a joy. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already dreaming of our next visit. If you're looking for a luxurious and heartwarming escape in the Maldives, We can't recommend Sheraton Full Moon enough!

Fantastic hotel/resort, location is excellent, beautiful setting and kept very well. We enjoyed every moment from the time of arrival to the time we exited the resort. Chefs at the resort catered to our needs, loved the station that included the spread with native dishes, pleasant surprise. Very courteous staff with big smiles. Will travel there if and when an opportunity comes up. Villa with the view of clear aqua blue water from bedroom and the bathroom is feeling of being on a luxury cruise.

The check in process took less than 5 minutes and we were shown to our room. The room was a decent size and came with an outdoor bathroom, mini bar with drinks and snacks. There was also a balcony with beach access.||For breakfast and dinner, the main buffet was open with a large range of different food. For lunch, full board guests can have 5 restaurants included in their package and for all meals, complementary soft drinks and juices are also included.||On the island, there is an excellent range of activities. The watersports were good, however the time for full board guests is quite short, with only 30 minutes a day for one room. The pool is big and has many chairs around it to sit on, so there is no need to reserve them, unlike many other places. The staff will also come round with complimentary watermelon slices for all guests. The beach is really nice with many places to sit and places to watch fish, sharks and rays at night. However, the actively participating entertainment is limited, with one activity a day and one talk a day.||Overall, the experience was amazing and it was everything advertised on the website. There is not much to be improved on, maybe the biggest point being more transport around the island as some rooms are a long way from the main area, where most activities happen. This place is amazing and we will definitely consider coming back!
