We stayed from 27th to 31sr Dec 2023. Really really disappointed hotel’s action and attitude. Experience at this hotel was good but last day( today) was the worst. Our meeting time today at lobby was 8:30 but sea plane departed and departed around 11:30 and we missed our 12:30 flight to go back to our country. I know the weather cannot be controlled but heard there was the guest whose flight was 11:45 and they could catch their flight. The hotel staff at airport said we were not in urgent customer’s list so we missed the flight. Really wonder why other guests could get their flight but we could not? Hotel should take care all guests. If you knew our flight was already closed, we wanted you to inform us before we leave your hotel. Then we can consider how we can do for this situation. Also there are no supports from your hotel. I will not recommend your hotel to anyone and get reluctant to stay again. We expected good hospitality but really we are disappointing now.

Nice island, amazing reef for snorkeling, acceptable food. They should improve night activities and excursions: local island is avoidable.

We really liked the hotel. Excellent house reef. We took FB food. Everything is delicious. Red fish in the morning. (AI has its own restaurant. We obviously didn't go there) Be sure to take coral slippers in the stove in the water, there are a lot of pieces of coral almost everywhere. You don't need to take regular shoes. You can walk around the island barefoot. You can walk around the whole island in about 30 minutes. Take fins and a mask (or you can rent them there for $15 per day)

It is a very well-kept resort with various environmental sustainability certifications, very quiet (there are no noisy activities, apart from some music after dinner in the bar area). The strong points are the services and care of both the common areas and the rooms, an excellent restaurant which varies the menu daily with "themed" ideas. On the island there is an excellent diving center professionally managed by Euro-divers, perhaps just a little expensive in prices, especially in the case of family packages or other combinations that include a certain number of dives. The island's reef has a good variety of corals and fish and is easily accessible from several points.

The service is good, the food in the restaurant tastes authentic, and the snorkeling is really good, but the rooms on the island are full and a bit noisy. The privacy of the garden room is poor.

It's a great resort. The facilities are not very luxurious, but they are very thoughtful and have everything you need. The water house also has a jacuzzi, which is very enjoyable. The scenery is great, and you can see a lot of things while snorkeling. You can usually see small sharks on the beach while walking around the resort. At this accommodation price, it is a perfect experience. There are very few Chinese people here. I saw two on the first day on the island, but none after that. They were basically European. I brought my family with me for vacation🏖️. The employees were very nice. There was a Chinese-speaking teacher on the first day on the island. My sister helped me check in, but I didn't see him for the next few days. Fortunately, I was able to play well with my loose English. In short, if the budget is limited, this resort is definitely the best choice. You can stay for a few more days. The scenery and services will not be discounted. I will go again if I have the opportunity!

My sister and I stayed in a water villa for 3 nights. Stingrays and blacktip reef sharks swim to the bottom of the pier during the day, and squid at night. 98% of the customers are Westerners, and there are almost no Asians. The full board buffet dinner changed every day and was delicious. The grilled salmon and fruit at breakfast were also great. It's a great resort, except that the toilet in the room was outside and there was no sunshade, so I needed a parasol every time I needed to relieve myself.

A water house with a jacuzzi booked for the last two nights on Island V. In front of the water house is a balcony facing the lagoon, behind it is a jacuzzi, and the bathroom is very large and spacious. You can swim directly into the sea from the balcony. But the next time I come, I will choose the sand house. It is cost-effective and close to restaurants and diving spots.

The room is clean and tidy, with air conditioning, and the temperature is comfortable. The bathroom is unique and beautiful. The food is rich, with various flavors, and a wide variety of fruits. The service is very good. There is a white sand beach right outside the house, and there are snorkeling resorts around it.

Once we got through the usual chaos at Male Airport, including waiting over an hour for the luggage to come off the plane, things got better once on the seaplane to Vilamendhoo. On setting foot on the island we had a wonderful greeting by the staff and then received a personal briefing from guest services, followed by a brief tour of the facilities and taken to our villa. In summary, we had an absolute wonderful time on the island, all the staff are attentive, helpful, friendly and personable. Food at the buffet was varied and very tasty, the Asian Wok restaurant food was fabulous. The island is spotless, the facilities well maintained, our beach villa was clean, didn't look tired and had everything we needed. Always had towels inside our villa and by the pools and our sunbeds. House reef was just a stones throw away from the beach, with a multitude of different fish to observe whilst snorkelling. Almost everyday we saw Turtles, Moray eels, Sting Rays, Eagle Rays, Reef Sharks, also saw Lion fish. We did a full day excursion to see more turtles and also saw Manta Rays and Whale Sharks... a must do! A special mention to Zaidh our waiter, whom we laughed and told stories with, our holiday would not of been the same without him. We miss him already. THANK YOU If your looking to book, then don't hesitate, go!

I’m a music fan, and there’s no better way than Harry Belafonte’s “Island in the sun” to use describing how one can see and experience Vilamendhoo. Sure enough, people will find things to describe as negative, if you think the pathways around the restaurants are to hot , if you think the sand contains hard pieces…. But let’s be honest, that is picking on details you wouldn’t consider when you were at home on a sunny day, you would enjoy the sun. And Vilamendhoo adds a lot to the sun, to make your stay a party and a delight. Where can one start? Not our first visit to the Maldives, so a seaplane experience is not the biggest thing we had while arriving, but yet, going from the arrival hall to the seaplanes, with a splendid transfer to the island, we loved the smooth experience. Arriving on the island, with a delightful drink and friendly reception was welcome after the long journey, the room we got (water bungalow) was briljant, with a well used jacuzzi during our stay. Room cleaning and turn down service was great, minibar refills were always in time, more than sufficient water during our stay as well. Restaurants and bars, my goodness, where does one start? Always options, either enjoy the curry and rice, or enjoy the pasta/potato/vegie/meat during lunch and diner, while breakfast has a wide variety of options as well. Fresh juices, drinks served in time and always with a smile. Like we said, not the first visit to the Maldives, so we dare to compare. We have been at Veligandu and Fakarufalhi (Nova now), and we would rate Vilamendhoo as best price/quality option. The main reason for us to visit is marine life. And oh boy….. do you have some sea life circling the island. Seen sharks, turtles, 1.000 tropical fish, manta, eagle rays, muray eels. We enjoyed the island “ocean discovery” cruise, meaning we took a boat trip for a day, full service on board, ending with a dolphin guided sunset passage. Just very simple said, this island has given us what we bargained for. Absolute rest, piece, a splendid couples-time to refuel the engine and embrace beautiful memories. We will go back, which just shows what this review is worth, we just want to do it again… and again…..
