Had the pleasure of spending two weeks with my family, teenagers early and late years. This hotel is a boutique in all things they do and their focus to ensuring you have the best experience is exemplar. Thanks for the time and effort shown. We will be back Airport Pickup Staff were on hand at the airport to pick up myself and the family. They were easily identified by their uniform and name tag. They loaded luggage into the shuttle and the ensured we were settled before taking us to the hotel. Upon arrival they took our luggage to our rooms. Initial Reception Our host from the onset was very good and explained the layout of the hotel together with meet points for any emergencies. She also explained the general rules around the hotel and made us feel so at ease. On getting the times for breakfast lunch and dinner they fixed us some delicious finger bites as we had missed out connecting flights and ended up arriving 6 hours later than planned. This was much appreciated as it was late. Freshly made Pizzas were such a lovely surprise. Food To say the food is delicious is an understatement, the chef is amazing!!!! Kitchen layout is open plan giving you an airy feel. Guest toilets are located nearby negating to need to return back to your room for a comfort break which is good. Chef whipped up some amazing meals from traditional Maldivian meals to intercontinental meals. Meals were well seasoned and catered for all spice levels. I have two picky eaters and their palates were catered to which is at both extremes of the heat level! Best Bit I must say is the delights that were cooked up from our night fishing trips. Kids absolutely fell in love with the freshly baked breads and brownies!!! Breadfruit chips are a must try for sure. So many local treats were also on hand. Staff Staff were friendly and pampered us thoroughly the stay. Then ensured rooms were thoroughly cleaned and trash collected. They also ensured that we were kept hydrated with refills on drinks Whenever we were at the table or at the poolside. Rooms Booked the ocean view rooms so apologies for not knowing what the other rooms are like. The rooms are lovely and rival many 5* resorts. Very clean and sheets are so comfortable. View to the ocean is breathtaking. We were faced with 3 days of continuous rain upon arrival and it was refreshing to be able to be in a very airy space. The same goes for the games room. Our host was on hand to show us their karaoke machine as well as the variety of games. This made the days when the rains were here so much more enjoyable. 👏🏾 Entertainment Snorkelling lovely reef just a short swim from hotel providing the ocean is calm. Local dance night. Brilliant to burn off excess calories from desserts. Beach picnic. Great for tasting catch if done the night after a fishing trip. Fishing a must do. Kite surfing, my son got one to one tuition with a local professional. After 10 hours of tuition he was up on the water and handling the kite an

Absolutely perfect! Having been attracted by promotional photos before & been disappointed when actually experiencing a place fist hand, I was cautious about what Viliveli offered. In this instance the reality exceeded the photos online! Every detail has been carefully thought out, right down to providing an electrical socket adapter for each room. The room was super large, with huge comfortable bed, a sofa, chair & coffee table, fridge, kettle & coffee/tea supply's. Large balcony overlooking pool. The place was very well maintained & kept beautifully clean. The kitchen is open plan to dining room so you can see what is happening. Food was lovely.... I ate all my meals there. Snorkeling gear, kayaks, yoga mats provided. There is also a games room, TV room & great roof terrace seating area. Widhadh is a wonderful, welcoming host who goes the extra mile to make sure her guests have everything they need. I loved my time there, felt immediately at home & look forward to a return trip. 😍
