Fabulous…again!

Reviewed By RoseHope

Our 4th visit to Veligandu and we were not disappointed. The sunset jacuzzi water villa was fabulous with breath taking views of the ocean and the house reef was super - so many beautifully coloured fish - we even saw 2 turtles and reef sharks with a spectacular Ray to be found around the water villa itself. The staff were lovely - special mentions to Suresh (always smiling while cooking great omelettes ) Abdullah.H (great waiter ) Naeem (really looked after us in the restaurant ) Hussain (always available on WhatsApp ) and Mahamoud (super villa attendant - always cleaned to a very high standard) lovely to see the GM Fathuhulla again who always had time for a chat. Lovely food and great service - just a few of suggestions for improvement… our wait for the seaplane was 2 and a half hours - 8 of us had to wait for 2 more people on a later international flight - this could be better organised . The house wines are extremely average - perhaps offer a premium package on the AI with a more varied and international selection. Lastly - the live music was excellent but the ‘80s retro disco ‘ was a DJ playing constant techno remixes - just play the proper 80s music from a playlist - much more enjoyable! We’ve been to the Maldives 8 times and this is the best island - we will definitely return.

LUX* South Ari Atoll

Dreamy atolls of tropical islands scattered across the Indian Ocean, the Maldives are a kaleidoscope of colours and earthly pleasures. Get away from it all at LUX South Ari Atoll (formerly LUX Maldives), the only settlement on the postcard-perfect island of Dhidhoofinolhu. Fuss free and laid-back, the resort surprises with pop-up cinema screenings right on the beach, impromptu musical performances and strolls along secret pathways through the lush tropical gardens. Just steps from the thatch-roofed suites and ocean-perched villas, the island's unspoilt beaches are yours to claim. A prime spot for snorkelling and whale-shark spotting, the resort's unblemished lagoon is a diver's dreamworld. Back on land, island street food and fine dining await in the tempting restaurants and bars. In the shade of coconut palms, lounge by the two turquoise pools, luxuriate in the ocean-view spa and surrender to the charms of this castaway idyll.

Honeymoon

We couldn’t decide which island to go to for our honeymoon, after plenty of research we picked for Lux and definitely one of the best choices we ever made! This island is absolutely beautiful with plenty to see and do, lots of different events on daily - everyone gets their own host, ours was the lovely Elisa who messages every evening with updates. Friends were telling us 7nights in Maldives is too much (we done 7nights Maldives 6nights Dubai) but honestly I wish we spent longer here and cut Dubai short! A very special mention to Anvil who kept our romantic water villa immaculate everyday, what a lovely friendly hard working gentleman - Thank you very much for looking after us during our stay. The food in all the restaurants was fantastic as was all the staff, absolutely everyone on the island is so friendly and welcoming. We had the most memorable and amazing time here and will definitely be back ❤️ Mr & Mrs Ali

A Gem hidden into Indian Ocean!

Reviewed By Anton I

Staying last day at this amazing resort, that made our vacation unforgettable. The hotel is a gem hidden into Indian Ocean: Comfortable villas that clean and fresh every day (Tanks to housekeeping Humaam), instagramic landscapes, delicious food and cocktails, very concentrated marine life on house reef. Separate note on personnel who made our feeling like at home: Management and Front office - Roula, Luthi, Ali, who was taking care of every request of every valued guest; Restaurant - Priyantha, Dilup, Susa, Binju, who was taking care of best class food and personnel approach to our kid. There is nothing to say more apart of this is must visit hotel in Maldives, and we will com back for sure!

This place is paradise

Reviewed By davemore38

We went in search of good diving, good food, good accommodation and a good friendly service for my 60th birthday and got that and much more. The expectation was realised and superseded, we did have a disappointing journey there with Srilankan airways but that was nothing to do with this resort . From the moment we stepped onto this piece of paradise we were made to feel welcome and treated exceptionally by the most friendliest staff I have ever experienced, the staff must be trained to a very good standard, they were exceptional. The only thing I would mention is take insect protection / relief, there are little critters there that fancy a nibble or two and to take precautions is wise, nothing over and above normal though just be prepared. If you are thinking of coming here diving then I cannot recommend this place enough, the PADI web site recommends the island for a reason, the dive centre, staff and dive sites are first class with the house reef providing good snorkling experiences. Excellent island, excellent diving and excellent staff.

Great vacation in paradise We stayed for two weeks at the W. This is one of the best Marriott hotels we have spent our vacation at. We arrived on the island and immediately felt at home. We were greeted with chilled drinks after the short trip on the seaplane. We then went on a short exploration tour around the island in the electric buggy. We arrived early in the morning at 08:00 and could immediately move into our room, freshen up and enjoy a fantastic breakfast in the restaurant "Kitchen" - no breakfast wishes remain unfulfilled here. All restaurants serve fantastic food and all staff, regardless of department, were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Great Beach BBQ @ Fire with great DJ and Local Musician - lovely evening with delicious food. Thanks to chef Dhana Dhanedran for great desserts. Super gym, all major equipment available. Special Thanks to Mark from the Gym. Great fitness tips and always up for a chat. Fantastic house reef, great variety of fish - great snorkeling. Absolute dream to relax and forget the daily routine. Beautiful bungalow with direct access to the sea with beach chairs and seating. Also special thanks to Alexander Lopez for taking care of us. We can't wait to come back again.

Best holiday destination to relax, rest and have fun

Reviewed By Kyv3n

This resort has quite the amazing scenary. Blue ocean, clear sky, cooling breeze and golden sand. It is the perfect holiday getaway. The staff here is extremely welcoming and friendly, but there are a few staff here that I would like to especially commend. Mohamed- Our Room Boy. Excellent service, he is extremely warm and polite. Unlike most room service personels, Mohamed makes us feel comfortable and relaxed, which helped us rest with peace in mind here. Mohamed would go out of his way to serve us. He responds to all our calls and helped us with the stuck umbrella. I could not have asked for a better Room Boy. Prasad- one of the 2 chefs I am commending. Firstly, I would like to commend his cooking. You could taste the passion in his cooking, or rather the effort he was willing to put in. I never had better scrambled eggs in my life. His omelettes, egg benedict, waffles, and crepes are great too, but it is his scarambled eggs in particular. Secondly, I would like to commend Prasad for his excellent customer service. I would describe it as beyond customer satisfaction. Prasad would go out of his way to make sure that the food was to our liking. He always made sure that everything is okay at our table. He even recommended me a few holiday destinations in Sri Lanka. Putu- Lastly, Chef Putu. Putu has left the greatest impact on me during this stay. He is friendly, outgoing, very kind and obliging. I could not count with my hands how many occasions had he gone out of his way to serve us. He sent us fresh fruit, chocolates, nuts. Thanks to him, my family get to enjoy some hard to find fruits here like dragon fruit and mangosteen. Putu has made many dishes for us, but there is one that i could never forget. 2 days ago, when we were having dinner, Putu went out of his way to prepare some steak for us. That was the juciest and most delicious steak I had ever had. I wish I could extend my stay to savour more of his cooking. Putu was more of a friend than a chef. It has been such a pleasure to meet Putu. My family would like to thank the entire resort's staff for their hospitality. We are looking fowards to our next stay.

The BEST Honeymoon Experience ! The BEST !

Reviewed By srelja0718

Im writing this review in their lounge as I’m awaiting to go back home, because I couldn’t wait to say how GREAT this place was! From start to finish, the experience was truly unmatchable. We came to Constance Halaveli for our honeymoon. With regards to to and from from Male and the resort, they are on top of it. They’ll pick you up at the airport and take you to their nice and elegant lounge while you await your seaplane to take you to the resort. The transition back to Male was equally easy and smooth. They pick up your luggage at your villa and transport it to the sea plane. When they bring you back, you can relax again in their lounge that is stocked with complementary sandwiches, drinks, and snacks. Onto our stay… The experience was A WORK OF ART! The villa is so beautiful and well built. Room service comes twice a day to clean up and always restocks with clean towels, toothbrushes, shower caps, soap, etc. They can do your laundry upon request and return it the same day, neatly folded. There are a total of 3 eating spots on the island. I won’t go into the details of each but the food is very tasty. The breakfast that comes with the booking is SOOOO GOOD! It made us excited to wake up just to go eat. The employees here cater with such kindness and attentiveness. Victoria, Jean Pierre, and Bandara were especially kind to us. They are yet another reason the stay was so pleasant. Amenities including water sports, gym, and tennis court are available for the entire day. The beach is beautiful around the whole island. The water is clear as can be. Lastly, if you’re into snorkeling, you can do it around the inner portion of the water villas, and you get to see so many beautiful and colorful fish ! We snorkeled in Hawaii at Hanauma bay and the fish there didn’t compare to the beauty of the fish present near the Constance Halaveli resort. Truly the best resort we’ve been to.
