Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa

Had a fantastic and truly memorable experience here in November as part of our 25th wedding anniversary celebrations. It’s a beautiful resort with all the amenities of a five star hotel, warm hospitality that matches SouthEast Asia gold standard and breathtaking views of a turquoise lagoon. The sunset cruise (a deep sea excursion organised by the resort) in search of dolphins was an unforgettable experience, watching no less than ten dolphins playing joyfully in their natural habitat. The food and drink options at the restaurants in the resort were great too! A special shoutout to Bonvoy Loyalty Officer Shurufa who went above and beyond to look after our needs (and demands!) and ensured that our special occasion was extra special:-)

This resort is incredible and lovely place. Upon arrival, we were immediately taken care of Mr. Haanee. He was all the time care about us. He is very nice person and we want to one more time say thank you for everything. |All resort was very clean, food was very tasty, our water villa with pool was amazing, employees were nice and helpful. We want to mentioned also Mrs. Caroline and Mr. Navaz who were so nice to us and always care about us. |There are different types of restaurants so people can try different types of food. |The beach and sea were clean and unique, so we have possibility to see many types of fishes, sharks, mantas and the whole beautiful underwater world. |Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa met more that were our expectations. |I really highly recommend this resort :)

My 3 day stay was excellent with all the Teams friendly demeanor and at Anchorage Bar & Grill we felt at home. Kopila and the Chef were so gracious and welcoming. Kopila amazing surprise mix drinks off the menu. She is so talented. Chef H gracious and going above a s beyond with food recommendations. Thank you for making our 29 years so special

Amazing family holiday to celebrate my husbands 40th with our 4 year old and 8 year old. |Perfect island for kids as we stayed in a beach cottage/ villa backing onto the lagoon and it was perfect. |Out door shower under the stars absolutely bliss. |Amazing kids adventure club eh in my kids absolutely loved.. Tammy, Natasha and Maria were amazing with the kids. |Good food selection and choice of restaurants. |30 min free paddle board every day was amazing just a shame it wasn’t longer, |7am yoga was spot on. |Easy 10-15 mins transfer from Male so great for families not wanting to head too far away to the other islands. |Friendly staff

I visited the Sheraton with my husband and our 4 month old. It rained 3 out of 5 nights we spent here but we had the loveliest time and a wonderful holiday. Our coordinator Jennifer and housekeeper Maya were particularly helpful and kind during our stay. Jennifer went above and beyond for our photoshoot and to ensure we had a great experience and Maya was very considerate as she helped clean the room and tidied baby items every day with a warm smile. 5 stars, we will definitely be back again ☺️

We had the most relaxing 8 nights at the Sheraton atoll.|Snorkelling ,swimming and went on dolphin cruise where we were entertained by these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat.|We ate the most delicious food at breakfast ,lunch and dinner . |There are so many cuisines to try and each one was amazing.||The trip was made very special by the young and extremely friendly staff that we met at the various venues .|We want to thank all and every one that attended to our needs but there were many that we got to know by name .|| Hanee greeted us on our arrival and who showed us around the island .||Kadija ,on reception at Feast most mornings ,Yaish our waiter on many occasions .The friendly servers at the omelette station and at the fruit station. Unfortunately we did not get their names .||Shafeeg who attended us around the pool area and the beach at Anchorage ,he walks many steps every day .|The Anchorage staff- Muhaimin ,who made us laugh with his stories .Mohsin with his own story to tell .Those behind the bar ,all so lovely .||We spent many mornings at the lagoon and Kakuni restaurant. Uttam ,Eyman ,Nihal,Dilla and Tegaman ( not sure of spelling ) the general manager were always on hand to help. The chefs in that smallish hut produce the most amazing food.||Aidh at the Masala Hut was so lovely . Good luck to him and Nihal with their exams .|Each and everyone at the resort works very hard to make the experience just very special. Apologies to those whose names we didn’t get.

The upside of this place is that it’s 10 minutes from the airport by boat. If you have an early morning flight, staying here for your last night might help with your travel arrangements. Honestly we were not impressed with the hotel: we were kindly upgraded to an overwater villa based on our Bonvoy status. The bed was hard as a rock and the villa felt cramped, especially the bathroom. The sinks and shower had lukewarm water but never got hot, even after 20 minutes of running. We found a shirt left behind by a previous guest in our wardrobe. We were told multiple times, including at departure, that they had sent a buggy to pick us up, only to never have the buggy arrive. We walked to the lobby from our villa with all of our luggage this morning to depart. The room service pizza we ordered was very good. Even as a Marriott loyalist, I think I would stay at the Hulhule airport hotel in this circumstance next time.

My wife and I had the privilege of celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary at the Sheraton Maldives with a 9 night stay in an overwater bungalow, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. While expensive, it was absolutely worth it and we wouldn’t hesitate to go again!||What we expected was a luxurious holiday surrounded by the natural beauty of the ocean and the island - what we didn’t expect was how incredible the warmth and hospitality of the staff would be to make this one the best trips of our lives!||I hope other premium hotels and resorts can learn from our experience here to see how much of a difference friendly staff and attentive service can make to guests, even more so than fancy extras, brand new properties or the latest tech.||We were thoroughly looked after from the moment we were greeted at airport arrivals to the moment we joined the check-in queue for our return flight 9 days later!||Since the island is so close to the airport we arrived via a 15-20min speedboat ride rather than a seaplane. We were greeted by Hanee with delicious welcome drinks (yes, we asked for seconds!) and he gave us a tour of the island. ||We then met the hotel manager Ajay, who told us he would be our point of contact for the stay and exchanged numbers with us. From that moment on he went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our trip was perfect. From planning a surprise anniversary celebration for my wife to arranging last-minute requests like a floating breakfast, he handled everything with instant replies on WhatsApp.||What amazed us what that we got similar attention and care from almost every staff member that we met! The resort clearly focuses on guest satisfaction, and their individual care and attention made us feel very special!||Food wise - we ate at all of the 7 restaurants at the resort and, without exception, the food was tasty and flawless (highly recommend the green curry at Baan Thai, the beachside seafood at Sea Salt and Kakuni). We gave the feedback that a couple of the restaurants had a dull vibe and decor which initially put us off those ones (Masala Hut, Chopstix) - we gave them a try anyway and found the food was also amazing! ||Again, the restaurant staff made an already great experience exceptional for us - thank you to Mohssin at Anchorage, Shahmaaz at Feast, Tejas at Kakuni, Ali (who was everywhere!) and so many others making our meals delightful. Special thank you to Shahmaaz’s personalized service, including making tailor-made smoothies for me every morning upon request and laying out a beautiful surprise spread for our last dinner, which was another example of these guys going above and beyond what I would would have expected.||Another major highlight of our trip was the water sports and diving with Extreme Maldives. I spent 5 days doing the PADI open water diver course at their Dive Centre on the island and my wife did the discover SCUBA guided tour. This was the first time ever diving and seeing coral for both of us and our instructor, Amaan, made the entire experience so comfortable and completely unforgettable. He was calm and patient with us while making sure we completed everything to the right level of training while working around our schedule. The final two open water dives that I did were mesmerising, swimming in beautiful reefs with sharks, turtles, manta rays, sting rays and loads of colourful fish! I’m now considering doing the advanced open water course and would love to be able to come back to the Maldives again to do it with Amaan.||Very glad that they had a clinic on the island with a great doctor to deal with small or large issues. Had to visit him a couple of times for minor issues.||Many people told us that we would get bored with such a long trip of 9 nights but we didn’t find that at all. Of course half our time was taken up with the PADI diver course, but there were many different activities that we joined every day and night on top this (cultural shows, quiz night, marine talks) if we felt like we needed more than just chilling on the beach. And when there was nothing going on we went snorkelling, paddle boarding or just chatted with the staff. We brought a pack of cards and managed to play it only once. My book didn’t even come out of the suitcase! ||We did two spa treatments which were incredible, and we liked that they had a relaxation room where we both literally knocked out for an hour after each treatment! Thank you to the awesome spa therapists!||Since it was our milestone anniversary we made good use of the on site photographers and had a photoshoot. The photos turned out to be as good as our actual wedding shoot was! Special thank you to the photographer Rayaan, who again went above and beyond and patiently waited until we we got all the shots we wanted!||Thank you again to Ajay and the entire team at Sheraton for making this a memorable holiday. We can’t wait to come back!!
