Velassaru Maldives

Our stay at Velassaru was amazing. We spent 12 days on the island, and did not want to leave... The level of service and dedication of the staff are beyond the words. The hotel is ideal for family or romantic getaway. The island is very small and that makes it really quiet and peaceful. You can see Male as it is really close by, but on the other hand you don't need to spent extra hours for getting to the island. Highly recommend this hotel to all lovers of the tranquil holidays.

It’s a very kid friendly resort and the staff service is good - they go extra mile to make sure guests have an excellent, comfortable and memorable stay.

Amazing staff, very happy to help and usually with a smile. Staff greeted us by name daily, they noted my son's birthday and gave us a cake and decorated the bed with animals. Overall great experience, quiet island, very peaceful. Good variety of food choices. Our whole family was very pleased with the trip. I've stayed at a number of locations in Mexico, Hawaii, Thailand and Velassaru was by far the best.

Overall it is a nice resort although I would not consider this a five star caliber. The cost of food and partaking in activities are quite expensive - recommend going all-inclusive if you have a family that likes to eat. the quality of food is excellent. We tried to reserve few restaurants on the island but it seems they were booked the entire time we were there. There are no lifeguards around, so be careful with the young ones as the waves are quite strong on the north end of the island during August. Very clean and service is excellent. Overall, we enjoyed our stay there.
