We loved our vacation at Lily Beach. A huge thank you to Mussey and the house boy for all the special things they did to make our stay over the top special. Our villa was awesome! We especially enjoyed the house reef snorkeling, the spa, and lots of relaxing.

We went here for our Honeymoon. My wife really loved it and so did it. Once in a lifetime experience to be in a remote island in the middle of the ocean. This place is Neat, food is great and lots of variety and free excursions ( line fishing, snorkling..etc) was fun. I absolutely recommend this place and will definitely visit again.

Outstanding all inclusive with great food and included wine list. Amazing friendly service from all the staff and a wonderful house reef to snorkle on to your hearts content. We stayed in both a lagoon villa and an over water villa during our week and really enjoyed both experiences. The fish feeding with plenty of rays and sharks a real highlight. The adults only area with a la carte lunch, infinity pool and cocktails to order was a favourite.

Love Lily Beach
Beautiful resort, amazing food, great service. The Maldives are absolute paradise. We enjoyed Lily Beach with our 4 month old baby. If you can, pay the extra for a lagoon villa. We had a lagoon villa for 7 nights. On check out day we were kindly moved to a beach villa for the last few hours. The lagoon villa was so much nicer, lighter, bigger and with beautiful sea views.

Heavenly holiday
Amazing location. Sunset water villas were worth every penny. All staff at the resort were very friendly. The food at the buffet was alright, but the Chef totally made up for it by asking us what we wanted and cooking specially for us! The all inclusive plan is excellent... food, drinks (alcoholic & non-alcoholic), some excursions out, water sports, mini bar refilled everyday. The fish feeding at night was also an experience. All in all, the most relaxing, amazing holiday destination.

Overall a Disappointing Experience
We stayed at Lily Beach for 4 nights as the last leg of our Honeymoon. Upon arriving I did not feel very welcome from the start. We checked in and were taken to our room that was 5 steps away from the main area and had the water rentals hut right on the beach in our backyard. This was our Honeymoon and we were given the most public room in the entire resort, it is probably one of the worst rooms. We were able to switch to a different room which was appreciated. The staff, with the exception of the waiters and cooks at Lily Ma, were not personable and very unwelcoming. The staff at both pools pretty much avoided you and would not come up to greet or see if you needed anything. I had to chase down people multiple times just to get a drink.. The food was so incredibly average. It was the biggest disappointment. For what you are paying to stay here you would expect the food to be a little more interesting and have way more options. The menu at both pools needs to be revamped. I do not understand how this resort has five stars... We have been to so many wonderful places in this world and Lily Beach can not compete. This report is just so average, do not waste your vacation staying here there are plenty of other wonderful places in the Maldives. This truly was a huge disappointment and let down. By the end of the stay we were counting down the minutes until we could go to the Conrad for the remainder of our stay.

5 Star Experience
This was an amazing resort. They think of everything to make your stay memorable. We just got back yesterday. The spa is a must for couples. The overwater villa has everything you could imagine and the design is perfect for privacy. The staff is always greeting you and trying to do everything to make your stay fabulous. Was a little worried before getting there about only having the buffet included in the Platinum Package, but for lunch and snacks the Vibes and Aqua bar restaurant are included and the menus are extensive and mouth watering. Plus nightly the buffet would change up its selections. We also got to eat at the Tamarind fine dining restaurant one evening, a true fine dining experience. Worth it. The wine selections, alcohol and drink choices were also top notch. It was not really necessary to upgrade any wine, unless you really wanted to treat yourself. Thank you again to everyone at Lily Beach for making our wedding and honeymoon a fantastic experience.
