We stayed for three nights in an overwater bungalow on the sunset side and were blessed with great weather, allowing us to enjoy beautiful sunsets every day. Since we chose the all-inclusive plan, we were able to fully enjoy our stay without worrying about costs. The optional snorkeling tour was also wonderful, as we got to swim with many fish. All the staff were very friendly and pleasant, making our stay truly wonderful and memorable. I hope to visit again someday.

Holiday with my wife.

This is probably the most best of the Maldivian Island resorts, we had a beach fronted villa which was very private and perfectly appointed. We stayed for 5 nights after having been in Thailand for 11 days, for us 5 days was enough as all you can do is relax do a bit of water activity and walk round the Island which took 15 minutes.

I do not usually write reviews however Veligandu is an absolute gem! The island is breathtaking, the staff and service feels so personalised, the food is amazing and the weather unbelievable! My girlfriend and I are talking about our stay everyday since we got back. The island has everything to offer, we had quite relaxed days on the beach, incredible snorkelling with turtles and reef sharks to great party nights at the hotels bar. We cannot wait to go back next year although we will have to wait until after the renovations.

Hands down from beginning to end, the staff met every need and made sure we were good. They were excellent! Very welcoming and friendly. The food was really good and our over water villa was beautiful. I heard they are doing some renovations. When it's complete we will definitely revisit.

The island is a good size. There were times we were out on the beach by ourselves. It's almost like a private island! This is if you go during the rainy season though (which isn't that rainy). I'm sure the peak season is busier. My only complaint is that the beds are not that comfortable. Was expecting better. I give it 4 of 5 stars.

The location was lovely , beaches and Island verdure were also fabulous . We stayed in a water bungalow which was clean and spacious on the west ,sea ward , side of the Island. It benefitted from the sea breeze and sunsets . The food was excellent , buffet style , of a good quality and varied . Staff were obliging , obviously trained to be so . The sea plane transfer is an added cost (£650) and we had to wait 90 min for arriving passengers from other destinations to fill it before it would leave . This was irritating after travelling for 16 hours . The resort is dated and tired and does need an upgrade which is apparently happening shortly.

Staff - Very friendly and helpful . I was assigned a lifestyle host that was super helpful and convenient throughout the trip. Food & Drinks - you will always be well fed if you have all inclusive. Although taste wasn't that great. Activities - quite a bit of water sports, indoor sports and outdoors . Things to look out for: Even in All Inclusive package, prepare yourself to spend another 1/4 of package price for activities and rest of the things. Water sports that are included in the package and next to none, for anything worth experiencing like Jet ski, snorkeling, and scuba diving, you will have to pay decent amount. Spa - only included if you are staying 7 or more nights. Complimentary photography - the photographer will be given to you for 30 minutes as a complimentary, HOWEVER, only one printed photo will be given, rest of the photo will not be given unless you pay up not even digital photos. Point being, is that everything is very smartly packaged to get you to spend good amount of money even in all inclusive. Kudos to folks who planned it but at some point it felt like they were banking on your emotions given that most people there are on honeymoon and will be helpless but to spend.

Paradise!

I initially requested sunset and unobstructed view (though I am fully aware it was not guaranteed) we were given a sunrise view with some breakwater structure slighty obstructing the view. (Which I have previously researched thats why I asked for sunset view haha) anyway it was the calmer side of the island so we were very happy still. Everyone was so friendly and accomodating except for one guy in the Ocean Dive (he's quite intimidating). But overall it was paradise. Full board meals does not include drinks. Snorkel set rental per day is a bit of a hassle haha they should've just included in the booking and can easily be accessible inside the room. I love the ambiance, the serenity, the friendliness of the staff always greeting us with a smile and a small conversation. They clean our room twice per day (bfast and dinner time). I love the house reef, with baby sharks and sting rays and colorful fishes. I have already recommended this resort to friends. Great value for money. thank you Veligandu!
