馬爾地夫薇莉島安納塔拉度假酒店(Anantara Veli Maldives)

一般的飯店，不是很好，不像工作人員的關注，真的很好，我的主人，很棒

Good place to visit

We stayed at Anantara Veli as part of our honeymoon, on a half stay basis. It did not disappoint - felt like the quintessential Maldives honeymoon experience. We stayed in an overwater pool villa which was very luxurious and stylish. The bathroom (overlooking the sea) and pool/terrace area were particularly standout. The island itself is exactly what you expect from the Maldives - pristine white beaches, perfectly clear sea - so stunning and very very peaceful. We were surprised (in a good way) to see so many fish (including sharks and rays) in the water surrounding our villa and the hotel beach. It was great to be able to share amenities with the Anantara Dhigu resort (including restaurants) whilst still maintaining the benefits of an adult only environment on our own island. We also really enjoyed a day trip to ‘picnic island’ for enhanced snorkelling and some great cocktails - a nice touch from the hotel. Food was generally very good - something we were worried about seen as you have to eat in the hotel. Generally great veggie options, the stand out for us was the Indian Ocean inspired restaurant Cumin, which had Maldivian, Sri Lankan and Indian cuisine. The Thai restaurant also had a particularly stand out location. Drinks and food are predictably expensive for the Maldives, but no more so than anywhere else and the quality was high. We found it to be more cost effective to do half board and purchase alcohol individually. The hotel gifted us a bottle of champagne on arrival which was a lovely touch. Staff were also great, especially our Villa host Yasir who we were able to contact via what’s app throughout our stay to arrange everything from dinner reservations to excursions. My partner also did a reef and shark snorkelling excursion, which though expensive (again, not unexpectedly) was a once in a lifetime experience. We stayed six nights but easily could’ve done 10.

revisit veli this time after 5 to 6 years.. their villa is upgraded, very new and clean. breakfast place, Cumin, changed to a la carte breakfast... all the food are excellent. staff are very helpful and care taking... I would like to praise the staff, Manik Raja, he is very thoughtful and remember your needs everyday ❤️. if their half board meal can be changed to including 1 appetizer, 1main, and 1 dessert would be much better than give you a 60 usd credit, which you can barely order 1 main course.
