“Best Maldives Island visited so far”
Staff were fantastic, excellent service throughout, no complaints.
“The best kept secret of maldives”
My tenth visit and the most serendipitous. Great staff bar none. No complaints. Amazing snorkelling. Any mistakes were graciously taken care of. The saying : the customer is always right is true here.
“Beach Island Contemporary Luxury”
Velassaru is a beautiful, comfortable and contemporary resort. Stayed in a water villa, very comfortable, clean, private deck to enjoy stepping into the sea, watching colorful fish and stars at night. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, would call us by name and recall our previous orders and preferences. Always a pleasure to have conversations with them. Resort has a very relaxed atmosphere, casual dress, acceptable to be barefoot. Sand covered floors in many of the buildings which are open spaces. Food/drinks were very good, happy hour was nice although I don’t recall if the beach bar had it. Dinner buffet was very good with a different theme, food selection each evening. Sea water was crystal clear and a spectacular color. A lot of fish visible from shore and on the walking decks. Swimming and snorkeling was very good, seeing a lot of big, small and colorful fish. The corals were limited, some very pretty, overall good snorkeling right from the beach. Only negative comments. View off one side of island isn’t great, towards a distant industrial island for Maldives that had a steady cloud of smoke coming from it. Would be nice if bottled water was provided more often, without a charge. At check-out the boat transfer cost was higher than rate on Expedia reservation, they corrected the amount without any issue. Completely enjoyed the resort atmosphere, décor, music, people, food and our time there. Highly recommend The Velassaru for a Maldives destination.
“Rsort Velassaru, Isola stupenda, resort moderno, un vero 5* anche nei ristoranti.”
Un resort magnifico su un'isola stupenda circondata da una laguna fantastica. Peccato solo che si veda Malè con i suoi fumi... ( si vede sempre da un lato dell'isola). Ristoranti all'altezza con varietà di cibo e qualità ottima non solo nel servizio, ma anche nelle strutture stesse. Massima disponibilità del personale ad ogni esigenza. Comoda la posizione dell'isola che si raagiunge in 20 minuti di barca veloce dell'hotel stesso. Quindi nessuna coda per l'idrovolante... nessun tempo perso. Peccato solo che non si riesca a fare snorkelling dall'isola per la lontananza della barriera.
