SAii Lagoon Maldives, Curio Collection by Hilton

My first vacation to a resort and Saii made it quite very perfect. Ferry Arrangements - 3/5 Room - 3.5/5 Food - 4/5 Beach/Pool - 4.5/5 Accessibility - 4.5/5 Marine Life - 3/5 Dolphin viewing - 10/5 Ferry: They do reach out to you for arrangements via email. However, replies will be very delayed. We were fortunate to have our hotel from another island we were staying at, arranged everything for us with Saii directly. Eventually, we only got their reply when we have already gotten to the Saii island. Room: Spacious, clean and very well-equipped. Had life vests, beach slippers (some rooms had entirely new pairs with tags still on), drying racks, cigar tray, beach bag, beach towels, and so much more. However, ceiling fan only has a on/off switch, which would often be set on low. To change the speed, you would have to tug on the little chain on the fan (image attached). It’s hard for me as i’m vertically challenged LOL. I also was unfortunate to have some issues on cleanliness at my first room but the room on my second night was perfect. My brother’s room was perfect throughout our stay too. Food: Variety was great as we had not just Saii, but hard rock across the bridge and also the marina that had multiple international options. Breakfast variety was great too. Beach/Pool: Always had a beach chair available on whichever beach we went to. Absolutely love the number of jacuzzis at the pools (though the automated version took us some time to figure out). Infinity pool had a really nice warm water pool. Accessibility: Saii has everything at your finger tips literally. At check-in, they would get you to download an app. On it, you can have chats with their respective services like housekeeping, activities center, front counter etc. You can also request for amenities for your room if you require additional or specific ones. They get to you SO FAST. Never waited longer than 5 minutes before i hear someone at the door. You can also request buggy transport (but it really takes quite awhile so plan 20 mins in advance). Marine-life: It’s reclaimed land, so snorkeling, as expected would be boring. If you are snorkeling near the shore or at certain beach, you would prob see nothing in the day or just a couple varieties. For those comfortable to venture out to the reef-cliff near the boundary marker, you would see more lively scenes but nothing fascinating. That said, we were shocked to have swum so close to a huge reef shark near the marker when we went out at 8am. Tip: If you are keen to catch dolphins (like me), this resort is perfect. One of the few that gives you a perfect view of a huge pod of dolphins swimming by. Catch them from the Pool at poolside bar around 5pm -5.30pm. Not a daily occurrence, but they do go by in huge pods, and stay up to 30 mins in the area upfront. That is the time they usually make their way out back to deeper waters. At night, go to the bridge connecting to hard rock. Big nurse sharks and some rays can be seen right by it. But that beach in the day, is very uneventful aside from the water activities.

Ah, my mistake! Thanks for correcting me. Here's the revised version: Stayed at Saii Lagoon Hotel in the Maldives recently, and it was amazing! - Easy transport: Just a 15-minute speedboat ride from Male Airport—no tiring long trips. - Stunning views: Crystal-clear water with fish and coral visible. The white, soft sand feels like walking on clouds, and the sea blends perfectly with the sky. - Great accommodation: I stayed in an overwater villa, spacious and bright with a tropical wooden design. Big floor-to-ceiling windows offer sea views right from bed. The private terrace has a ladder to the sea—so convenient for a swim! - Delicious food: Multiple restaurants with global dishes. The main restaurant’s buffet has fresh, juicy seafood; local curry chicken is flavorful; Italian pasta is authentic and tasty. - Fun activities: Snorkeling lets you see colorful fish and coral. Try surfing for excitement or fishing for relaxation. The spa is perfect for unwinding. - Fantastic service: Staff were warm from check-in, helped with luggage, and answered questions quickly. They even remembered my favorite drink—felt like home! Highly recommend Saii Lagoon if you’re visiting the Maldives. You won’t be disappointed!
