Can't put into words how perfect everything was.

The only two notes are: - Even with half board, they charge you for drinks at dinner, even water, and no you can't even bring your own which is weird - The villa pool isn't heated, paid a lot extra for the villa with poold ended up not using it at all because it was too cold (End of January)

Very good cleaning team and other staff also. Was changed our villa to 218 perfect villa…

russian, more then half of customers from “error” And for no reason staff starting to communicate to us in russian, from first to last day same problem

Facilities, welcoming, cleaning, and staff

Less activities in the resort like outside trips, and there is a resturant which not open every day, and checkout was not perfect like check in

The Vellasaru experience starts from the point you come out of the airport to the point you hand your bags at the airline counter. It was amazing throughout. The staff at the resort were extremely friendly. Breakfast was great. Room was spacious and clean. The island was really well maintained. And honestly we could not ask for more. Views were amazing, marine life was decent and plenty of activities to keep you busy for 5 days. My little one did not want to leave the island and wanted to buy a house in the Maldives 😀

Food options for lunch and dinner were limited, but not a put off.

* As always cleanliness, helpfulness of staff, quality of food, the assistance of the curtuous duty manager at the first day, the upgrade deal, room service speed, porters assistance, quality of the rooms, the view, the massage staff, the timings of pick ups and millions of other exceptional things that will make me Come back soon again and again. Thank you vela 💙🩶🩵

*Menus need more international options *As only few restaurants on the Island need to extend time for their service 22:00 is too early to close. *Kids club is missing, there is so much espace and it will be a great advantage * need more activities, parties, games music around and about.

choices were excellent, location was fine

there were a few things I didn't like, first the open bathroom which made me very nervous, especially when I had to use the toilet in the middle of the night, second, the room lighting was a bit dim even with all the lamps on, there should have been an option for brighter lighting... and being a non swimmer, a safety rail around the pool would have made the experience much more enjoyable...

every single thing its 25 minutes from airport and the water very clear breakfast is variety staff was very friendly

only small point about extra charges like speed boat and some taxes the hotel should inform me before

the food was amazing. i was only hoping that they have more salad options on the buffet like they used to do couple of years ago

i did not like that charges occurred on ordering coffee, tea & water during breakfast and dinner buffet

Everything was wonderful and I highly recommend this resort hotel. Fabulous welcome from the staff at the pontoon at ‘speedboat arrival’ and a personal welcome in reception at 7.30am from the general manager Denis - superb hospitality. Location was perfect, the island has a great location only 25 minutes from Male. Quiet, small island which is easy to navigate. Quality resort, no ‘bun fighting’ for anything at all including sun beds. Friendly and speedy check in. Early check in to the room. Excellent breakfast. Extensively stocked bar and efficient table service Spacious and clean Deluxe Villa. Very comfortable bed and soft linen. Well stocked mini bar and larger safe to place a lap top in. Excellent ‘express’ laundry service. Friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and professional staff throughout. Unbelievable white powdered sands and crystal clear turquoise blue seas just a few steps away from the room. Umbrellas at the front door if it rains. Excellent WiFi coverage. Recommend the sunset cruise on a traditional Dhow: excellent experience and great value at $68 to include canapés and sparkling wine.

Small comment - A little pricy in the Mediterranean Al carte restaurant. Surf and turf (8oz fillet and a few small lobster pieces) - $68. I appreciate this included service charge and government taxes but thought it should have been more around $45. I asked for it medium rare and it was overcooked (medium well).

Staffs were very friendly. Great food. Awesome service from the day of my arrival till the day of my departure. Everything was well taken care of.
