Worth revisiting

Veli is an amazing resort to visit. I cannot say enough about the staff at Veli. They were all so attentive to our needs and did everything in their capabilities to keep us happy. I really appreciated the management cocktail party because it gave us a chance to meet everyone who makes Veli such a wonderful experience. Loved Rifau, Prem, Ruth, and all the others who made our experience possible.

8/10 Very good hotel, food options good. Service generally very good let down once or twice especially in origami restaurant waited 45 mins for food. Also all inclusive is not really an all inclusive limited on options and certain dinners only 60 dollar credit. Other than that all good. Watch out for sneaky charges aka left sunscreen out no mention of charge till checkout time $19 dollars. Left out seemingly to be used as arrival gift. Placed smartly. Generally overall good stay.

We had our absolute, perfect, dream honeymoon! Every staff member was extremely friendly, helpful, and just a joy to interact with. Our villa host, Ali, went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible, and we did! Couldn't recommend this resort more highly. From the rooms to the beaches, to the views, to the food, to the people, this was the most superlative honeymoon we could have asked for! Thank you!

I absolutely loved the islands Anantara Resort had to offer but they are small, so excursions are a must unless you don't mind getting bored and just relaxing. Our assigned host, Ali, was super helpful & fun to talk with! The staff overall are amazing!! I did book the Adults Only resort but was definitely not Adults only LOL It just means your villa and the ones around you are for adults but once you leave that specific island to go to another you're surrounded by children, also your island is open to families for dinner. So if you're looking for something truly Child free or id you're triggered by them do not book here. Otherwise you will still have a blast & yes you will be spending a lot of money as there is tax & services charges.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is very nice and not so far from Male Airport. After a long trip we valued this very much. Dining options were ok although some can be improved. However the staff was very kind and friendly, specially at breakfast in the Cumin restaurant. We found the wine pricing expensive, despite that we understand that transporting supplies over there is not an easy task. Feruza our Buttler was very kind and nice to us. Her service was really outstanding. Regarding snorkeling activities, the swimming with sharks was wonderful. The turtle and reef, not so great. Also outstanding the service in the Spa. We had the Moroccan hammam and enjoyed it very much. All together our stay was excellent !!!!!

Terrible Communication

The hotel gave us the wrong room the first 2 nights, not what we were shown/paid for based on hotels.com. When I asked them at check-in, they told me it was the same room and made me feel like I was crazy. When I checked again on hotels.com 2 days later I checked the pictures of the room I was shown, my booking information and told the hotel that they did in fact give us the wrong room, the wrong view but still charged for the superior room. They said they would move us the room I had booked and did so after 2 nights. I have been waiting for a resolution regarding the price difference for over 3 weeks now and nothing has been done. The hotel never responded to any communication from us or hotels.com. Hotels.com has not been much help in resolving the issue either. Additionally the hotel has terrible communication within their spa. We had our treatments changed on us 2 days in a row without any prior notification or approval, but rather during mid-treatment. It caused a lot of frustration and surprise as this was supposed to be our babymoon. Really ineffective communication from the hotel, the spa, and even our villa host regarding what was going on.
