At Sun Siyam Vilu Reef we had a three person family vacation with our 4 year old daughter. For us it was important to have a reef to be able to snorkeling, also that the island was small and quiet. The hotel met all these requirements. To each villa on arrival is attached to a personal manager. We had a Russian speaking manager Gulnaz. She was always on the phone, answered quickly, we asked her for any questions - from booking a massage to the need to find any medication. We lived in a regular villa without a pool and jacuzzi, we definitely can recommend villa 142 to stay with a small child: quiet, peaceful villa away from the bar and activities. Comfortable and shallow entrance to the water, fencing with stones made the water safe and warm, and you can swim and snorkel. The other villas on our side of the island (148 and beyond) had a sharp drop off into deep water. We heard complaints from other tourists about ants and cockroaches - there was nothing like that in our villa. Many thanks to our responsible for the cleaning service named Babul - in addition to the fact that he is very friendly (really glowing with a smile and friendliness), he did his job perfectly: the villa was always exceptionally clean, cleaning was twice a day. I think the absence of any insects in our villa is his merit. There are three restaurants on the territory - one with buffet and two by appointment. We went to the regular one all the time - we were more than satisfied with the food there. We were glad to meet the chef Chaminda - he was nice and friendly, cooked specially for us fish caught on fishing (in a sauce of olives) and it was great, you can immediately see a professional chef. Thanks also to the waiters - Ayman, Shayan and Dilshad. They were very helpful, pleasant in communication, always tried to help - put off for the child ice cream when the restaurant was already closed, and we did not have time for dessert, responsive to requests. The kids club was under renovation at the time of our visit, but from the outside seemed cool: large, with a playground, with its own small pool. The package included 1 free excursion: either to a neighboring residential island or a trip to the dolphins. True, we never saw the dolphins because of the weather, there was a strong wave. The hotel has a good spa - in rainy weather it is very pleasant to go for a massage, they do it well. From the minuses I can note that the first night on arrival we were settled in a villa directly opposite the bar (villa 106), in which it was impossible to sleep because of the noise. We asked if it was always that noisy and the manager said that there are occasional parties and events there, sometimes until 12am. The next day we were moved, but how they could guess to put a family with a small child in the noisiest villa is just a secret. And also incomprehensible policy of the general director: if he has a personal orange passenger buggy tourists should move on foot on arrival and on departure. We
