North Male Atoll, Kaafu Atoll hotel rooms at the Independent

"Hotel was great with wonderful staff and plenty to do. The new restaurant was really good and the house reef had great snorkeling."

"For a small island it was not packed with people. The staff was amazing and the food/ rooms were great! Definitely visiting again! "

"From the moment we were met at the airport, the greeting we received when arriving on the island from the guest relations team, the superb massage we had at the excellent spa to the lovely food in all the restaurants (Mama) and the service at all the bars, the picture perfect setting and our housekeeper Ashik who looked after our overwater villa and kept the mini bar well stocked. Cant praise this place highly enough. Excellent snorkelling from your room with plenty of black tip sharks and tropical fish to swim with. Kayak's, pedalos and snorkel gear were free to hire too. A special thank you to guest relations for the cake, card, bottle of fizz and the bed decoration even though our anniversary was a couple of weeks earlier."

"Very nice beautiful very clean and very nice people! "

"great place"

"I would recommend this island to everyone. Child friendly and amazing staff everywhere. Was easy to get around by walking or by buggy- which was always available. The pool area was very child friendly. They had a childrens club as well. Loved the food at the restaurant. Such variety. The vibe of the island was amazing, relaxed. "

"We stayed on the island for 2 weeks in June to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had simply a fantastic time. All the staff were without fault were exceptional- extremely welcoming and very attentive and we"

"Very nice facility rooms very clean and modern service was standing"

"I don't understand the people who give less than 4-star reviews to this holiday destination. They must be nitpickers who expect to have the conditions from One and Only Reethi Rah (the neighbouring island) at the prices from the Summer Island. Come on, you could stay there only one hour with the money you paid for two weeks at the Summer Island. All is more than reasonable at the Summer Island, I mean the location, the meals, the staff, snorkelling and diving opportunities. "
