This was our trip to the Maldives and our first time at Lily's. Traveling during the low season helped us avoid the crowds and high prices. The Sunset water villa, which comes with a personal butler, is highly recommended. Our butler, Mussey, took care of all our needs. While our stay wasn't perfect, Mussey resolved all issues efficiently and swiftly. Despite being one of the older properties in the Maldives, Lily's maintains its rooms and grounds very well. With over six decades combined in the hospitality industry, my wife and I can be quite critical about accommodations and service standards. We'll return to collect our special memories scattered throughout the resort and island.

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.

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.

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.

Spectacular Honeymoon Stay

Stayed at Mirihi for part of our honeymoon in the Maldives and had a spectacular stay.
The staff is incredibly welcoming and friendly and the resort is very well kept up - everything looked new.
We booked an overwater villa, which I definitely recommend.
The food was all excellent. We were on half board, so we ate at the buffet for breakfast and dinner. Each night there is a different theme, Maldivian night was great. We ate at the bar for lunch each day, and everything we ordered there was very tasty.
The house reef is perfect! It's very easily accessible, and there are tons of fish. We did see a shark, which was the goal of my trip, so that was awesome.
We took the small catamaran over to the neighboring uninhabited island on day (Pineapple Island). It was cool to basically have our own island for a bit and there is good snorkeling there as well (we also saw a shark there). Definitely a cool trip if you don't get sea sick, it can get a little rough in a few patches since it's such a small boat.
We also took a boat over to Conrad one evening for dinner at the famous underwater restaurant Ithaa. That was incredibly delicious and we certainly recommend it. We do suggest you email Conrad directly, they let us make a reservation weeks in advance, but they won't let hotels make reservations in advance for you.
Overall we had a spectacular stay and would certainly return. Highly recommend!

Need to have better coordination with the flight arrival and pick up arrangements from the resort. Please double check before you make the trip

Thank you Lily beach for the lovely stay! My mom and I had stayed there for 4 nights. The staff was super friendly, food was delicious. A wide range of wine to choose from. Only down side is that there is not too much coral reefs to see around the island. Aside from that the stay was amazing! we had went on two trips; the sunset trip which we were on a boat enjoying champagne and small plates of food, and also the fishing trip, the staff was very friendly because they were trying so hard to help us catch fishes. I also booked a turtle excursion to see turtles and shoutout to ABO! he was so helpful trying to help everyone see a fish. He even helped me with my underwater camera with amazing footage of the turtles.

Thank you again Lily Beach for the amazing stay!

3度目のリリーもやっぱり最高だった！

前回2年前の水上ヴィラ利用時は、テラス等少し朽ちた感じがありましたがメンテナンスされておりキレイになっていました。また水上ヴィラの反対側にあるVIBES BARもリノベーションされ、より快適度が高まっていました。

いつもどおりスタッフは全体的にはフレンドリーな感じで、日本人スタッフ(確かユミコさん)も居ました。

食事についてはビュッフェレストランのリリーマと鉄板焼きレストランについては全体的に塩味が強いので、調理してもらう時は塩控えめにしてもらうのがイイかも。
なお、今回初めて鉄板焼きを利用しましたが、全ゲスト同時スタートになるので予約時間に遅れると、他のゲストから冷たい視線を浴びせられます、、、
私達を含めて4組のゲストでしたが私達以外は大陸2半島1で、全員アジアでした。

リゾート全体的な客層は、大陸5欧米2半島1.5他1.5といった感じでした。

今回3回目のリリーになりますが、大陸系の皆さんの変わりっぷりには良い意味で驚かされます。毎回洗練されてきておりマナーが気になることはほとんど有りませんでした。
何故かスピーカーモードで電話する人が多いですが。

一つ、リゾートで気になるのはwifiがメチャクチャ遅いこと！電波は強いですが速度が遅すぎて使い物になりません。2MBのファイルをダウンロードするのに1時間くらい掛かりました。改善を期待します。

This time I stayed at the lagoon villa. The interior was very clean and well thought-out design made it easy to spend and made it slow. You can enter directly into the ocean. There are plenty of coral reefs in the immediate vicinity, a lot of small and small fish in front of the eyes, a break from the sea with a deck, a time that flows slowly for the best time, is a completely different world. The food of the hotel is nice, the variety is abundant, all of this is all inclusive. Staff's service, smile and hospitality are the best. Every morning all accesses have been cleaned from early. It is a really wonderful hotel. I would like to stay again. Thank you very much for all the hotel staff.
