Sun Island reviews
A few reviews from guests that stayed at Sun Island Maldives
"Food:The buffets were perfect; 2 meals per day were included. We chose breakfast and dinner, and got to try most of the places on the island and couldn't be happier, really. After a morning activity we would eat a huge breakfast and pass out till the sun waned, and then go for walks around the island (about 40 mins roundtrip) or go for another activity." ( Tripadvisor review)
