We were looking for a peaceful, quiet escape - and we found it. It takes an extra domestic flight to get to the island, but it’s 100% worth it. Villas are recently built, in a great condition and very comfortable. Bed is huge and showers are great. There is a pool, dining area. There is a bikini beach 10 mins from villas. It’s clean and usually empty. Kondey is also a great option for snorkeling. Sunsets are just incredible. Ahmed was the best host! We took care of us, always being nice, helpful and we felt like at home. He is a nice person, and he made our stay really special. He also knows everything about the island, atoll and Maldives. Dolphin cruise went great, we saw hundreds of dolphins. Chef and food were great, we loved it! Everyday fresh, tasty meals. Mostly local but and regional. You won’t get bored! Thank you!

We were looking for an authentic Maldivian experience, unspoilt island, beaches and reefs and we were extremely lucky to find it on Kondey island at Suncoral guesthouse. It is a beautiful guesthouse with large, perfectly clean rooms and excelelnt food. But more importantly, the owner, Shameem, will go out of his way for you, take you snorkeling, fishing, scubadiving, deserted islands and more. This was the best place we've been in the Maldives and amongst the best ever!

The resort has a sun terrace and spa centre, and 5 dining options. It also has a beach volleyball court and FIT centre. Everything was amazing. Starting with the human team, we were really impressed with the attention to detail. Starting with our host Murooj and followed by the cleaning service, restaurants, spa team all the ones non customer facing staff that works everyday to ensure you have the best experience. When we arrived at Male, a member of the resort was waiting for us. He picked up our luggage and checked us in for the domestic flight. Then, he took us to a lounge area where we had some beverages and changed our clothes. Timing was ok, we got to Male international airport by 12pm and were in the hotel by 3pm. Once in the hotel, the go-to person for everything was Murooj, our host. We were in contact through WhatsApp pretty much everyday he was the bridge between the different services and us. Everything we wanted, we only had to talk to him and he would make it happen for us. The room was simply out of this world. We stayed in a sunset private pool villa and could enjoy the sunsets from the pool. The villa has its own access to the beach and I have to say that it is pretty private. Few couples passing by but nothing we couldn't bare with. We had a massive bed inside the room and the views in the morning were just stunning with the pool and the sea with all the different blue tones. The bathroom is as per the pictures. It is not the room you will spend most of your time, but it is worth saying that it was another experience to add on top of the above. Our reservation was full board. We didn't book full inclusive because we don't usually drink and in our case, it wasn't worthy. Also since we spent most of the time in our villa, we didn't have the temptation for a beer our a pizza at the pool bar. We drank a couple of cocktails one night that were worth $25, so no brainer for us. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all in the buffet restaurant. It had a big variety of food and deserts. Water and beverages were included as well as teas and coffees.

Even without snorkelling, you can see so much marine life while out and about, including shark, stingrays, eagle rays and turtles. The entire complex was well maintained. The food was of great quality, and the staff was kind and ready to help. This property is true paradise!
