A Truly Wonderful Experience ❤️
We had seven wonderful days at Velassaru and enjoyed every single moment of our stay.
We stayed in a Deluxe Villa, which we absolutely loved. It was beautiful, comfortable and perfectly suited to the surroundings, and the open-air bathroom was a real highlight for us and made the whole Maldives experience feel even more special.
What truly made our stay unforgettable, however, was the exceptional team. Every member of staff was incredibly friendly, warm and attentive, always one step ahead and genuinely focused on making our stay as comfortable as possible.
The service and organisation were outstanding. Everything seemed to happen quietly and effortlessly around us. Before we even had to think about something, it was already taken care of. This created a wonderful feeling of being completely looked after while still having the privacy and freedom to simply relax and enjoy every moment.
The quality and cleanliness throughout the resort were excellent, but above all, it was the kindness, attention and professionalism of the people that made such a difference.
Our stay at Velassaru far exceeded everything we had imagined the Maldives would be like, and a huge part of that is thanks to the wonderful people who work here.
We felt completely at ease from the first to the last day, and there is really only one thing left to say:
Thank you for making our time in the Maldives so special. We will definitely be back. ❤️🌴☀️
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.
To be honest,Everything is perfect. Staff are well trained. Food are good. Management have been looked after us in great details such as suprise champagne and cake for birthday. Well done.
It was a wonderful stay at Velassaru. Everything was perfect. The staffs were caring and professional. Foods were plenty and delicious. We especially enjoyed the excursions such as dolphin discovery and shark snorkelling. Highly recommended !
