A magical experience i would recommend every married couple to experience once in their lifetime.

Bookings:
4 days 3 nights starting 26th October was what we opted for - 2 nights in a Beach villa & 1 night in a water bungalow.
Since this is our 1st experience of Maldives, i would not be in a position to compare this to any other resorts. Sun Island, also the most economical among the we had 3 shortlisted, turned out to be the only available option for our dates, which we gladly lapped up.
One glitch with the bookings was that we ended up getting the beach villa instead of the sun villa (which was what was offered to us). Upon inquiring, I was told the request was made for beach villa only & that beach villa is superior to Sun villa considering the price point & views - and yes, the sun villa was inside the island with garden views, so we were fine with this.

Resort:
Stunning views of the ocean. A well constructed island with
Good amount of Exclusivity.. Despite the resort having 98% occupancy, the resort never looked crowded.
The island was quite big, which was brilliant for sightseeing - lot of photo ops. But that also meant a lot of walking!
We didn't opt for the 5$ per day bicycle renting & preferred walking it out or wait for the buggy for a drop.
Lots of activities - so you're never bored. But with the limited days, there is not much we managed to cover.

Rooms:
Both the beach villa & water bungalows were well maintained & had very beautiful views of the beach/ocean - we got the sunset views for both, however, with the rains playing spoil sport, we didn't manage to catch the sunset during our entire stay thanks to the dark cloud cover.

Staff:
Extremely friendly & cordial staff. Especially the table attendants.
Room service was impeccable too.

Food:
Buffet breakfast/lunch/dinner at the main restaurant was good. Although with the strict early buffet timings, it generally turned out to be a rush to get to the restaurant.

Travel:
Keep in mind, there's a domestic flight travel to consider - Almost a day each way to be considered for your travel.
Unlike a few resorts which can be accessible by a speed boat alone, Sun Island offers you a domestic+speed boat transfer.
The only upside of this is that the domestic flight gives you good views of the stunning atolls from up above.

Weather:
On the flip-side, the weather was notoriously bad! Every evening dark clouds hovered over the island at around 5pm & the heavens started to open up by 6.. ranging from a mere pitter patter to a downpour! A big letdown. Missed out on the watersports thanks to the unkind weather.
Unseasonal rains is what the resort staff stated.
